Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I read a fantastic book called Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit the other day and woke up with a renewed attitude about how I should be acting in my daily life....that lasted about 5 minutes.

I've been such a grouch this month. I don't know if it's the winter blahs or I'm hormonal or what...but I feel like a total irritated, grumpy, yelling mom these days...and SUPER lazy. I just want to lay about doing as little as possible.

I would appreciate any prayers for my attitude, my behavior, and anything else you think would help. My husband, my children and I thank you. (Especially my husband because he seems, for some reason, to take the brunt of my grumpiness.)

Thanks.

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear that! I can TOTALLY relate, I could have written the post (even the part about just finishing the book!). I'm praying for you and your family

God bless,
Christine

You've not been alone--I've been feeling this way too! Maybe the winter doldrums? Praying for you!

Vanna, I'm sending and prayers your way. Don't be so hard on yourself. The first part of a conversion is true knowledge of yourself. Embrace this and be so thankful to God for showing you! I'm praying for you as you take steps to change. I know this is so pleasing to God! I'm on this path as well, send a few prayers my way if you have time!
