The answer is.....
Blessings!
I am thankful for blessings, I am thankful to be a wife and mother which are my true callings. I am thankful to have been through the rocky times and am still here plugging along. I know more rocky times are ahead, cause thats what life is about so I brace myself for them but don't forget to enjoy and open my heart to really living life.
Alex got a bunch of applications in the mail for college and it hit me that he will be going away to college in less than 2 years ! ..oh my goodness!
When my kids were little this pic reminds me of me with them

Its so hard to let them grow up but I suppose thats what its all about, letting them fly. I will enjoy every moment they are in my nest and my privlage it is to be their mamma, now and forever!
I pray they both love God and always follow the Lord Jesus and keep Him in their hearts as they grow up. Teresa and Alex, you are my life and everything I do I do for you!
Happy Thanksgiving

What Wonderous Love is This?

I am singing a new hymn, well new to me tomorrow at Mass so I went to youtube to try to learn it and I found this awesome beautiful video of Irish artists singing in such a beautiful setting and playing wonderful music and I learned to sing this song from the Video!
This song was written by an anonomous writer in the year 1811..pretty cool!
Enjoy!

Lyrics,

What Wondrous Love Is This
By: Anon.
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!


To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb,
Who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free
I’ll sing His love for me,
And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.

What I am thinking about

Well first thing is I want to give yet another shout out to Stacey and say her Phillies did pretty good ol New York got em but they sure did well so they are my new fav team :)


Time is flying and I am back to working overtime to pay bills and maybe put a little away for Christmas. That new job I talked about didn't work out I am back to my old job taking phone calls but am happy to be "home" as far as work goes and it was my decision to go back to the same job. Maybe I am not up for new challenges as far as work goes I guess, but It just wasn't for me so glad to be back doing what I know how to do very well :)

Alex is back in public school, another financial decision..Catholic High school was way more financially than we expected with various expenses but he is happy and will be able to go back to playing the trumpet and playing basketball with his old buddies so he was a bit sad but is adjusting fine.

Teresa, my little girl, has been such a good helper and doing dishes and cleaning the kitchen while I work evenings so she makes me very proud! I know she is motivated by something called an ipod but I choose to believe its also cause she is my little angel.

I don't mention my mom too often but thought I would mention she is doing quite well but I would love to see her socialize more she rarely leaves her room at the care home and is not intersted in the craft group or bingo anymore which worries me but I can only pray she can be happy and visit her often. She still loves her coffee and making out greeting cards :) Oh and we both watch Days of our Lives, I tape mine every day and watch it late at night before bed, thats something we gossip about and we have that soap to chat about together so I cherish that.

I am very proud of my hubby Mark he is working hard at the grocery store and he is my sweetheart. I hope he knows that.



God bless and have a great November :)

Don't forget to eat your fruit and hug the cute :)
