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.

Argh, it's happening again. College is starting soon for 18-yo. DH is busy with work and scouting matters, and I'm making more calls today to doctors regarding his hernia that still isn't completely resolved after two surgeries in '06 and '07; looking at a third one soon, possibly out of state or even out of the country. I'm trying to cope with all that, and a 7-mo baby, and household duties and homeschooling. On top of that, we have outside pressures also from friends, church, etc. Fall is shaping up to be busy-busy-busy and it's taking all my energy to focus on what Suzanne said... so I'm training myself to think full-full-full 'cause it does help me quite a bit esp. in focusing on the positive. Sigh. Please pray that we get through these next few weeks without falling apart. Thanks so much. We continue to pray for your intentions.

to you as you *one-thing-at-a-time* it!

Praying for you Stef. Boy do I know just how you feel at the moment, yesterday I was mentally crossing off things that maybe aren't so important after all because I was starting to overload

Our summer has been that way, I can empathize. If you ever need a break, a night out, or whatnot, I'm not far

God bless,
Christine
