Too many tabs



















I've been finding it rather difficult to blog lately...

Mostly because of this picture. This is me anyway but the last few weeks it has been out of control.

I found this pic and showed Dh and he just laughed because we've had more than one conversation that went about like this:

Dh: You've been so quiet today, is anything going on?
Me: Well...
Dh: ........
Me: Ok. Well, in Mass I saw A, which made me think of B who needs our prayers right now, but so do C, D, and E, and this week I have to F and G on the same day, and I saw on FB that H, I, J, and K are all having babies and then I remembered that I was hungry and tired and that I forgot to L and M last week...
And that made me think of that article I read about N....which made me tear up and now saying all this is making me feel like a crazy person which is making me cry!!

ugh. Being a girl can be SO exhausting sometimes!


Oh! And in case you were wondering...this is an excellent way to recover after receiving bad news...




Hang it all! Lets order pizza! Ice cream too! Huzzaahh!!


It doesn't take away from it, but at least you won't go to bed hungry. Health food is soooo not comfort food.

Sigh.

Sorry to be so cryptic, but I just can't seem to form a cohesive post at the moment so this will have to suffice. I will try to write a better post soon...maybe I can close 1,754 tabs in my brain just long enough to get the words out.


Thankful that I saw the St. Gianna novena that this lady posted.
Yes, I started late and yes I'm awful at novenas but I think a 
little focused 9 day prayer is a good thing right now!
Also, St. Gianna rocks :)

It doesn't feel real..

We have had a tough few days around here...

My mom called Tuesday evening to say my grandma had passed away.
It was extremely unexpected and we spent the next few days in shock and disbelief.
She wasn't sick or anything so it has been hard to wrap our minds around the fact that we won't be seeing her again. We were just talking and joking with her a few short months ago at Christmas!

Tonight was the rosary and afterward we spent time at my aunt's house. It was so strange feeling glad to see family one moment and them remembering why we were there the next.

I am thankful for such wonderful family members who have dropped everything to be here! Their support has been such a blessing!

I still don't think it has sunk in yet. I know tomorrow will be a very difficult day so if you could spare a few prayers for everyone it would be much appreciated.

Hug your loved ones and call those who live far away...



Thankful for many years with a sweet lady and that my grandma will be reunited with my grandpa after 21 years apart...

We sure miss you though.
