A filter

Keera really should have a filter in place, but it doesn't exist.  Here is her latest.  Connor and Katie had physicals at the same time (different doctors, obviously, but same office).  I don't go in anymore, but the doctor's like to have me in afterward to consult with.  I went in with Connor and his doctor and I brought Keera in so she wasn't in the waiting room alone.  She sits on the chair with me and the doctor says to me...."So, everything looks good but do you have any concerns or questions...how as the last year gone?"  I said, "Good and no".  And then Miss shares all the information said, "Well, he has annoyed me a lot."  The doctor (and I) didn't expect that and he started laughing.  Then the doctor said, "Well if it is only once a year, then it isn't bad."  Keera then proclaims (and I mean proclaims) that it is "consistently happening."  The doctor laughed even harder and I have to admit, it was good for Connor to be in a situation where he couldn't react toward her...all he could do was smile (and think, how can I get her later, probably).

It was rather funny.....but a filter wouldn't hurt sometimes.

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.)
