Almost there!
We're officially more than halfway through Lent! Mmmmmm, sweets here I come...maybe the fact that I'm so focused on when I can eat sweets is a sign that I have not made a prayerful enough Lent??? There's always room for improvement!

Prayers Needed...
As I type this, Phil's grandmother is in the hospital. Sadly, she seems to be very close to death, but happily she seems to be very close to eternal life. Phil has very fond memories of Nanny cooking Italian meals in the kitchen, and giving him chocolate milk and cookies as a child. The marriage between Nanny and Papa is certainly one to be envied, there is an amazing love there, and so we must keep Nanny, but especially Papa in our prayers as this will be hardest on him.

Prayer Requests
Every night after we say our family rosary, we all get to make a prayer intention for the day. Last night, three-year-old Andrew decided to pray for "all the babies in their mommy's bellies and for all the horses in the daddy's bellies". Guess someone has been learning about seahorses in school!!!

One Day...
One day, I will be able to go to bed at night and wake up feeling refreshed from an uninterrupted night of sleep...
One day, I will be able to take a shower in the morning without little boys coming in to use the toilet or ask me a question...
One day, I will be able to get myself dressed and ready-to-go without worrying about what everyone else in the house needs to wear and helping them get it on...
One day, I will be able to go to Mass and actually listen to all of the readings and the homily with undivided attention...
One day, I can spend the weekend relaxing, shopping, eating out, going to the movies, etc. without having to worry about a babysitter or an extremely tight budget...
And finally, I know that one day, I will look back upon this time of my motherhood, and wish with all my might to get it back.
