Motherhood is the epitome of opportunities to live the Little Way. Diapers, dishes, cleaning, nurturing, disciplining... all normal, everyday things that typically don't garner thanks, aren't as easy to do because they aren't "heroic" acts of sacrifice, and really are just a huge cross that we have to suffer in order to conquer pride. If it wasn't for the Little Way, I'd be toast. I'd probably complain constantly and/or nag my husband. Praise God for this Saint's lessons in humility.Protect Providence Academyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116284374777609613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437033766452854400.post-87024249752151264332012-07-08T21:23:24.688-07:002012-07-08T21:23:24.688-07:00Amen.... dishes and laundry are my downfall as wel...Amen.... dishes and laundry are my downfall as well. If it makes you feel any better, I have had laundry sitting there for TWO WEEKS that needs to be folded. I've taken to putting it in clear rubbermaid bins so that when visitors come over, I can put it in our bedroom and then bring it out again when they leave.... MEANING always to fold it, but ugh... I pretty much clean the house top to bottom and then use it as an excuse to not have time to fold laundry.<br /><br />*shamefaced*Protect Providence Academyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116284374777609613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437033766452854400.post-65083229737210341602012-07-08T08:12:26.860-07:002012-07-08T08:12:26.860-07:00Molly, I have those same sentiments!

I pray to move closer to them everyday. God has given me wonderful friends who help a lot but it's still not the same as family. I didn't know that about St Helena, i will keep her in mind during difficult times!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934688531359580390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437033766452854400.post-54518143432262399472012-07-08T07:50:13.324-07:002012-07-08T07:50:13.324-07:00I'm still coming to grips with the fact that o...I'm still coming to grips with the fact that on his own my husband can't read my mind and then the other day during a particularly rough "this guy is driving me crazy" moment I stopped and asked St. Helena for a bit of help (strangely enough her name had been running thru my head for weeks and it was only that night that I learned she was the patron of difficult marriages...hmmm....) and not even an hour later my husband suddenly had this inclination that he really needed to do somethings around the house. It was amazing.<br /><br />We all need help, I firmly believe after living with my parents for a year (a little pre and then post first baby) and now living down the street from them that extended family living (whether biological or not) is the only way to get thru parenting. It's not something anyone is meant to do by themselves!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904858990740505588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437033766452854400.post-28887427662245003062012-06-22T09:31:55.345-07:002012-06-22T09:31:55.345-07:00Yes, thank you Clare!

I didn't say you could put a picture of my kitchen on your blog.....<br /><br />You can always tell the priorties of a stay-at-home mom by looking at her kitchen and you obivously have yours in the right place: husband, babies and making nourishing foods. After all, they are only dishes! They have no feelings, no soul and they don't even last very long. So when it comes time for penance the dishes are first in line and only then should they come first.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040409409917444539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437033766452854400.post-38073329404467864022012-06-18T20:33:28.488-07:002012-06-18T20:33:28.488-07:00hehe :)hehe :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934688531359580390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437033766452854400.post-32864466464081058952012-06-18T20:26:56.648-07:002012-06-18T20:26:56.648-07:00No... that's never my kitchen... never...
