When It Rains, It Pours
Hubby came home with chills and a fever today. And the meeting with Father on Trail Life didn't go very well. But hey....
Defragmentation / Reintegration #12
I'll be honest. Some days, this is my song: But some days, it's this: One thing that has helped: visiting some old threads on hormonal imbalance at the 4Real Forums. Sigh.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #10.5
Back to St. Teresa tomorrow. Tonight, U2.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #9
More getting back to normal....
Defragmentation / Reintegration #8
The way to adjust to the new normal, is to get back to the old normal.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #7
Had to do something creative with all that pain.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #6
Bad day today. All kinds of hurting bad. :'( Show Me - Audrey Assad You could plant me like a tree beside a river You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild And I would blossom like a flower in the desert But for now just let me cry You could raise me like...
Defragmentation / Reintegration #5
He sits beside us in the lowest places of our lives, like water. Are we broken? He is broken with us. Are we rejected? Do people despise us not for our evil but for our good, or attempted good? He was "despised and rejected by men." Do we weep? Is grief our familiar...
Burden Or Gift? The Audacity of Trust
This is a repost of my Filipinos for Life blogging event entry for August. Thanks to DBoncan for hosting my post when I couldn't get into my blog. 🙂 There was a time in Philippine history when the words "sa awa ng Diyos" could come out of anyone's mouth at any given...
Nino’s Reading List, 2013-2014
Will be updating this regularly. Nino is 4 1/2. (no idea why this post is coming up empty. sigh. will fix later.)
Shakespeare!
A lot of our plans for Shakespeare for Yena (7th grade) come from the Spring 2009 issue of Mater et Magistra, which includes excellent material from fellow homeschooling moms, and even a special Shakespearean tea from Alice Gunther, so I won't be posting those here....
Homosexuality and Real Solutions
In Part 1, I talked about the band-aid solutions offered by popular culture being inadequate to address the prevention of same-sex attraction/homosexuality itself. Speaking to those causes listed by the Catholic Medical Association, I'd like to make the following...
Homosexuality and Band-Aid Solutions
Homosexuality is a deep, deep wound in the Body of Christ. It's not something that can be fixed with band-aid solutions. We need to get to the root of this wound, because that's the only way we can effectively deal with it, prevent it, and heal the Body of Christ. And...
Breaking It Down, 2013-2014
The other day I posted Yena's curriculum for this coming schoolyear and how we planned it. Today I'm posting a screenshot of the lessonplans-on-spreadsheet that I do every year for the kids. In 2011 I did a very detailed planner for my then-13-year-old who needed it....
Yena’s Curriculum (11, 7th grade) 2013-2014 / The Curriculum Planning Post
Haha. I was typing up the title for this post and had to stop and call Dad and Yena who are out on a biking trip (it's 7:35 am). I think I made a mistake somewhere along the line. When I was 11, I was in 5th grade.... Hm. I don't know if I accidentally made her skip a...
