Although you'll never read this my sweet Catherine, I love you. 16 years ago you changed our life forever.

Excuses

Posted by on

What is it about a blog that makes you feel guilty if you don't post as often as you'd like? I guess this is my online journal. So here's the events (excuses) that have kept me from my mistress (blog) over the last few days...

1. Rosary Book # 2

2. Friday - Family Day (stations of the cross, fish fry etc.)

3. Hosting First Communion Workshop on Saturday

4. Sick child 3:00 AM Sunday morning (when I left for work he was on crawling on the floor barking like a dog (he's 2+) hopefully it starts and ends with him)

5. Sunday is a day of rest but work for me as a DRE, PSR, Pre-Cana, etc.

Hope to post something extremely insightful, inspiring, educational, etc. soon or at least once in my life....

Quote of the week - "Make sure you pull your pants down." - my 5 year-old to my 2 year-old who is potty training. Wise advice based on years of experience! Like my wife says, "another great reason to have more kids, the older ones can train the younger."
