My girlfriend wanted to get in the suit, but wrangling kiddos meant it didn't happen. Next time, for sure, she said, since she'll bring her husband along.

Holy orders...Taking vows to be a nun for a woman. Entering the diaconate or seminary for a man.
So I was almost a nun.


My late uncle was a Carmelite, not discalced. We would regularly visit their headquarters in Darien, IL when he would visit from FL.
I was actually preparing to discern holy orders with the Carmelites when I met my husband.


Soo...Did you evacuate? The storm hit you guys dead on, right? 🤣


Never thought about it this way...Even though I despise the "Millennial" name

There was so much going on, so many people, and cranky kids.
Plus...I talk to you all the time over on Discord. 🤣


You guys should follow my friend Tom. He's like that older brother you never wanted. And I'm glad to be able to call him a friend (even if he makes fun of me all the time).

Yum...I'm on my way over for dinner!


Drives can suck, but glad you made it back.
It was great to meet you and have a beer Saturday.

Finally made it home from TN. It took 18 hours total...with dinner, breakfast, bathroom stops, sleep breaks...and then getting to our friend's house an hour ago and unloading her and the kids.
But it was a blast. Overnight driving is such a great way to travel with kiddos.

"Are you sure you want to come in? I've got to poop." "I'm coming with you!" Then "Ewww! It stinks in here!" 💩


We're on the wait list for our Catholic School for the second year. It's great, but also a frustration. We're parishioners, bit there are a lot of non-parishioners sending their children to the school. And we didn't do pre-k, so that locked us out.


I'm Catholic, and definitely the minority in our CC Community, but there is one other family who attends our parish in the group.
Next weekend, the Diocese of Superior is hosting its homeschool conference at St Joseph in Rice Lake, and I'm going for the day to make connections and see what others are doing.


We're trying Classical Conversations this year, and I'm sure meeting with Gather Round and Good and the Beautiful. And then I'm giving my local librarians topics and they're helping me come up with additional books/projects. I'm meeting with the library here in town this week to come up with a monthly homeschool activity that is NOT STEAM focused, because most libraries in the system are hopping on that bandwagon and I'm over it.


My husband said "Heck no!" to several houses that were nearby cemeteries. I told him they would be the best neighbors! 🤣

Hiya nostr world! It's been a hot minute since I've been active over here. I'm running into an issue where it says I need to connect my wallet so I can zap and all that jazz. BUT...I thought I've got my wallet connected, and am not seeing anything specific about what the problem is.
Can anyone help? My Alby wallet is all fine and dandy, I double checked it yesterday.

Good morning, nostr world! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and post over here again.
Today looks to be a nice break from the crazy high Temps we've had, and stick the 60s with some thunderstorms. It's a good day to open windows, air out the house, and then visit the library for a bit.


She's still busier than ever. Not sure if she's still using any of the Nostr platforms, though.
I know I keep forgetting about it, which is why I haven't posted in a while.

It's been a minute since I've checked in on here. Between sickness, restricting social media for Lent, and just life in general, it has been a busy time in my home.
In all that, we are taking time to sit in silence and reflect on the life and death of Jesus, especially during this Triduum. In a new tradition for our family, Mr Man picked out purple fabric and helped me drape our various crosses, statues, and pictures in the house last night. They will remain covered until Sunday morning, when Jesus rises from the tomb.

For this past year, starting to slowly expand my virtual assistant services, it was a great year. I learned A LOT (and that I can be creative) and I was able to help out a handful of people in my networks. Here’s to a great 2024!

I started receiving Communion on the tongue earlier this year (it's so much easier while carrying Bug). I did run into an EXTREMELY rude priest while visiting my parents' parish last month, who sneered at me in my veil as I kneeled and opened my mouth to receive Communion. He shoved the host in my mouth, breaking it on my teeth, and I almost cried as Jesus broke and started to fall to the floor.
If I encounter that rude priest again on my next visit, I've got plenty of ammunition this time!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap1KL2D5ae4
And if you're intrigued on receiving on the tongue, this is a great "how to."

Today, we said goodbye to "Auntie Bailey," my folks' 15 year old beagle-coon. She died held by my dad and was buried on my cousin's farm next to her 3 doggy cousins. I'm glad I made the decision to take my boys down to spend the weekend with her, and my dad.
Dogs are wonders...They teach you to love unconditionally...And how to get through the heartbreak when they leave this life.

Today is Michaelmas, or The Feast of the Archangels  - Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael

Michael (Who is like God) was the archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God. He is the protector of all humanity from the snares of the devil. Gabriel (Strength of God) announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, "Hail, full of grace," is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Christian people. Raphael (Medicine of God) is the archangel who took care of Tobias on his journey

I completely understand. Over a few pints tonight, Dad and I were talking about my mother's health, which she has foregone to focus on him. I made a goal for myself that I can easily achieve, even if things go south and I'm needed to help with one or both of my folks' medical care.


Got to spend time with Dad over a few pints while we waited for dinner to be ready to pick up from the restaurant. 40 years ago today, he left his family behind in Ireland as he said "I do" to my mother. The man is a legend, and I truly believe it when he says he will think about dying at 104 in 24 years. 🤩
The bartender could use a lesson or two on how to pour a proper pint, though...

Happy Anniversary, and cheers to many more!


40 years ago today, my parents said "I do" and my dad began his life here in the States. He has now officially spent half his life in the US, after his first 40 years in Ireland.

Yesterday was so much fun. About 30 folks got together in Hinckley, IL to meet each other and hang out with Toolman Tim.

Old connections were refreshed, and new relationships were formed. There is something to be said about building your network over the internet. Yes, you may talk to someone every day, but seeing them in person, shaking hands, leaving with a hug - THAT is how you truly create the network and trust that comes along with it.

Now, Tim asked what our goals are for December 31, 2024. I shared mine last night and am sharing it here with all of you for accountability (and maybe some help/encouragement!).

Also...If you haven't heard of him, I highly recommend this YT Channel. I may be biased as he's from my family's town, but his content is great.
https://youtube.com/@thecatholicman?si=X6fy-9wRi2KxQy8U


At first I was a fan...He was eschewing the traditional fancy trappings of his office...But as the years progressed, he has definitely moved away from the traditional teachings of the Church.
While not an outright ban, his restrictions on Traditional Latin Mass and Ad Orientum have shown me his true feelings. I am NOT a Novus Ordo fan by any means, but have found a wonderful parish that not embraces both the old and post-Vatican II teachings and supports those of us who yearn for the traditions of the Church. I not only veil at Mass, I receive the Eucharist on the tongue.
Attending a parish by my parents last week, the priest scowled as I knelt for Communion, and shoved the host in my mouth. Meanwhile, Wednesday morning at my home parish, our pastor used the dish holding the hosts as a paten under my chin, lest any of our Lord's precious body NOT make it into my mouth.
The upcoming Synod may end up causing me and fellow traditionalists to be heretics due to our leanings, but I will stay true to the Bible and continue teaching my sons how to properly venerate and respect the Church.
