yes snow

Well I woke up to a surprise of a few good inches of snow.  Parents came over to watch the kids play in it.  They are pretty cute.  Bella really wanted to be outside, but she hates walking in the snow.  Andrew just wanted to eat it, and Antonio just wanted to have a snow ball fight.  So we made a snow man and sled down the driveway, until it melted.

I have had a couple good days playing with the kids proving to myself all of the little happy moments that I would miss if I worked more.  But I have got to get down to business, and more organized.  I need some more time to my self during the day.  When Antonio's in school, I like to give attention to the babies.  When Bella's sleeping I like to play "big boy" games with my big boys.  I have making dinner time to my self.  Sort of.  Maybe I could try to do some of the meal planning, phone calls, paperwork organizing while I'm making dinner, like while things cook.  Usually I have the kids on t.v. time anyway.  By four p.m. that's about all they can handle.  And me too. 

I have jury duty a week from today.  I hope I don't have to do anything.  It is stress full.  Which reminds me I need to send some money to Jorge.  There are a lot of things that slip through the cracks because I am not organized.  The baby is old enough I don't have an excuse anymore.  I don't know why I don't have my stuff together more.  Maybe I can work on an organizational system while I'm at work.  I have some time to myself.  I'm tired of talking about how I'm not organized.

Lord, hear our prayer!

Dear Jesus, your people are in need of your guidance. We all are, for without you we can do nothing, but I speak specifically today about those who are being punished for a crime they didn't commit. Lord, you know what it is to be given a cross that was not yours to carry. You accepted that cross willingly and transformed it - gave it to us as the symbol of our hope and trust in you. Lord, help these grieved men and women to turn their suffering into good fruit. Lord, if it be your will, send their persecutors a sign as you did with the wife of Pontius Pilate. Help them to see the error of their ways so that justice may be done in this world as it is in the next.

In the name of the father, son and holy spirit,
Amen.
