A dear friend emailed me in response to reading my blog (or blogs- not sure) telling me that I am a "wonderful homeschooling Catholic mom". I appreciate the compliment. Especially from her. This friend knows me- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It also gave me pause to think about what I share in blogland.
A line from a movie popped in my head- "I used only the good notes."
This was used in reference to a melody that a man composed in honor of a lady friend. While it was a cute romantic line in the movie, it pretty accurately describes my blogging. While I occasionally share a sour note, I try to stick to the good ones!
So when I share our magical morning of putting up Christmas lights, it really truly was magical.
YET, it was not without those moments.
I contributed a few of them as our lights project was getting of the ground (yep, sour notes are not just for kids).
Along the way, I cringed thinking the neighbors might actually hear how my kiddos were talking to each other in the front yard.
And then- bliss.
Things settle in and everyone seems to be working happily together... for now!

God bless you during this holy, yet very real, advent!

LOL!!! I ALWAYS think about what "others" must be saying under their breath when they hear how my kids can talk to each other. But you know what? I think most "good" moms do anyway. It's the ones that don't care that we should be concerned about;)
Oh, I know what you mean, Laurie. An elderly lady was recently complimenting me on our kids in Mass and how they were like perfect little angels. My response was "Thank you, but you should see them at home!?" She laughed and said: "Oh that's good, I'm glad to hear they are normal!" Funny. Anyway, keep up the great work, Mama. Never a dull moment on this journey!
