A husband's love

I have not been inspired to write in my blog since last Tuesday - pointed out to me by Bob, my husband. I sat down last night and again felt uninspired....granted I did have carpal tunnel surgery on Thursday and have been trying to recover from that...still not an excuse. When I was getting ready for work this morning, I realized what I wanted to write....I finally felt inspired.

Last night as I was going on about getting ready to go back to work, one of the things I said out loud was...."how am I even going to dry my hair in the morning, especially with this new haircut the hair dresser gave me Saturday?" Bob replied, "I will wash and dry your hair for you." At the time, I didn't really listen...I heard...but didn't listen.....to even offer to do that is the ultimate act of love. He is really saying, "I will take care of you, in sickness and in health....", 18 years after taking what seems like just a vow at the time. I love you Bob and could not live without you.......and you don't have to get up early to do my hair.....it will do as it is, but thank you.

A shout out to my cousin Pat....you are about to enter into the most amazing thing that could happen to you (as you get married this summer). There will be ups and downs and ins and outs, angry times and happy times.....but without a doubt - marrying a person you love is the most fulfilling thing that can happen in your lifetime because all other things that make the rest of your life will either come from that person or be guided and encouraged/discouraged by that person.

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
