I got sick over the weekend, and I'm still sick today. My husband is so kind. He helps out so much around the house. He gets the errands done so I don't have to go in stores. I am thankful for him. My husband is a gift from God that I do not deserve. He … Continue reading In Praise of my Husband

Bring Back Patriarchy
Despite what angry feminists will tell you, women in the West do not live in a patriarchal society. We should be. Women should not be drafted (something Congress recently considered) and so they should not have the right to vote. When you vote, you vote for or against wars. People who don't fight shouldn't get … Continue reading Bring Back Patriarchy
Mother’s Day Was Wonderful
We went to Olive Garden on Thursday for Mother's Day so that we wouldn't have to deal with crowds. We did Taco Bell day of. Angelica got me a book of questions for Mothers. I am supposed to write my answers in the book and then give it to her so she can learn about … Continue reading Mother’s Day Was Wonderful
On My Own
My husband had been gone for a couple of days, and I have been on my own. Normally, my father in law comes to help, but since this is a short trip, I didn't want to ask him to come all the way down here. So, I have been toughing it out on my own. … Continue reading On My Own
Losing Weight
I am in a weight loss journey. A mission if you will. I have been very chubby for too long. As a result I have been dieting the past few weeks, and I have seen some success. My husband likes me as I am. He likes my fluffiness and big boobs, so the pressure isn't … Continue reading Losing Weight
Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Having some sort of schedule can help boost your productivity. One of the things I love about this life is that I don't have a boss, and only answer to my husband. I guess you could say my husband is my boss, but he loves me so that's different. But when your whole day is … Continue reading Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
I spent some time listening to lectures today. I listened to an introduction to Kierkegaard that I found interesting. His notion that ethics and religion do not go hand in hand, but are opposed to each other is a captivating idea. I also completed a documentary series on the early queens of England. This morning … Continue reading Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
Catholicism and Contraception
I have been exploring Catholicism for awhile now. I collect rosaries, and some Catholic teachings really appeal to me, so it makes sense to explore. One I get caught up on though, is the Catholic requirement to be "open to life" - to not use any form of contraception, and be willing to have more … Continue reading Catholicism and Contraception
Long Day
This morning Craig left for El Salvador. I woke up before he did and didn't manage to fall back asleep until after his plane took off at 6. My father in law arrived last night to take my daughter to school this morning. I am so glad he's here. For some reason, maybe the bad … Continue reading Long Day
Long Days Alone
Angelica has started school, so I am settling in to long days at home alone. There's plenty to do, but time to rest too. Being at home when your kids go to school is a nice break. I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone
