As an at-home mother of six I am SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED. I've been married for 28 years and my children range from 12 to 24. This blog is about faith, family, and life, with occasional rants about politics and other hot-button issues for me. I am Catholic and by that I mean I believe in faithfulness to the Magisterium.

"I can't believe Mom ate the whole thing!!!"
I was telling my adult daughter (the nurse) about yesterday's post and how I had lost a half pound this week, in spite of having bought five pounds of fudge on Mackinac island.
Her eyebrows raised. Her jaw dropped.
Anne: You ate five pounds of fudge and you lost a half pound?!?!?
(I am sure that as the newly educated nurse she is thinking, boy does Mom have a metabolic imbalance.)
(I AM ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING.)
Me: Noooo!!!! Noooo!!! Nooo!!!! I BOUGHT five pounds of fudge. I only ate a little bit!
Anne: OOOH!
She smiles a little. I think she may be wondering why she didn't get any.
Whoops.

Fudge - yum!
See you - Kellan
Funny thing, my husband's mom and one of his sisters are in Ireland for three weeks. His other sister called to say they're okay (physically and all), but "mom" is having a rough go of it. Sister surmised she'll do better now that they are leaving Dublin (city = a ton of walking; mom's not used to it and she's had both knees replaced). I don't think I'd be one week into three and complaining at all! I don't care what hurts!!!
But, mom is a home-body. We miss her. She's so sweet!!
Thank you,
Jeff
