My mom’s surgery was a success. The surgery only took three instead of six hours, and she spent less than 24 hours in ICU before being discharged completely from the hospital. The next step is the installation of the transmitter, which should happen some time next week. I didn’t ask her too many details [...]
Rest assured, I noted on the calendar when my domain expires so next year, I can bug my cousin to renew before it expires.
Continuing on the Moms don’t get sick leave trend, things got so bad with my giant head cold that I went to the doctor on Saturday. It turns out [...]
A person I’m greatly intrigued by is Fr. Benedict Groeschel. Long time readers may remember that he was at my parish recently for our Parish Mission and Greg and I (and Elise) were blessed to meet him and share a few words. I have wanted to read some of his books for a while, [...]
Last night I went to bed with a giant migraine and woke up today very congested and sounding like I have smoked 80 packs of cigarettes every day in my 28 years of life. Thanks be to God, no one is showing any signs of illness (probably due to breastfeeding Benedict and putting breastmilk [...]
Last night I prayed that I could get some “quiet time” in today.
After sleeping for about … 10 hours straight, Benedict started stirring at 5am. I’d be hungry after that span of time, so I tried to get him latched on, but no sooner than 1 minute into eating he’d unlatch and basically [...]

1. Yesterday was the day in which the kids took loooooong naps and I had everything done that needed to get done, but instead spent their naptime working on trying to fix my computer. Long story short: Ubuntu 10.04 cripples (and I mean cripples) my 2005 Compaq, and a downgrade to 9.10 left my [...]
My mom’s brain surgery is in about two weeks and I’ll admit, I’ve been pretty preoccupied with that. So much is riding on these surgeries – if they go well, her need for her Parkinson’s medications will drop significantly (as will the amount of medication in her system) and she will have a much [...]
Happiness is a warm coat for when it snows … in May.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have kids who seem to be the most difficult when the weather is at it’s worst? It’s 36*F and quite windy (30 mph the local news is saying gusts up to 70mph – things are blowing down/around, and it is definitely not playing outside weather), and [...]
