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 can't do this alone. The two middle girls are on an emotional roller coaster, nothing is good enough for them. The two boys are 8 and 10 and they have 5 sisters to go after. There is so much going on right now, I feel like I have nothing left to give.

I continue to pray for all your intentions.

Saturday morning

This has been a very difficult week. We are definately being spiritually attacked. Yesterday morning I could not imagine facing another day with so much bickering. I felt frozen, so I asked our Lady to help me be their mother. They are such wonderful kids. They really are. Thank you for listening. I'm offering up many prayers for your intentions.

Praying for you all today. Snuggle up with the kids and a good movie and some popcorn and leave the stress behind for a few hours.

Prayers, Ruth. Emotional rollercoasters are hard on everyone, and 8 and 10 year old boys add much to the mix. Hang in there,Ruth...

Peace,
Nancy

Oh Ruth -- I could have written your post (but I only have 3! and a teenager who is having angst about being at Seton, as a senior, and not knowing anyone!)....

Prayers headed your way, dear!

Ruth,

I could join them...I am 36 and still on an emotional rollercoaster.

Remember this too shall past.

You are never alone!!!!

I'm going to PM you now with the lecture portion of my post...I hope you are taking care of yourself! I think the movie suggestion is a very good one. You need a break.

As I typed this, my darling 2o month old covered herself in conditioner. She smells great by the way!

Ah,another time I wished I lived closer to you.

Love and prayers,

Mb

I'm right there with you, Ruth. I don't know what would have happened over the last few days had it not been for the prayers coming from all you wonderful ladies!
