I am awake, sitting with my feet up in the quiet house and having some ice cream. In my world today, the 3 littlest kiddos got shots for croup and all, but Madalena, of the kids got put on medication for strep throat; it was nearly a 3 hour ordeal by the time we were done with the clinic and then picking up the prescriptions. This is one of the few times I really realize how many children we indeed have. We are generally a healthy bunch, but when we do it, we do it big, and NO there is not a buy-by-the gallon option or discount for so many of the same medication. I am hoping for a better night sleep than last night; I am just so concerned about them, especially the baby, and feel like I sleep in a state of alert ready to dart into action if needed.
The other big deal of my day was confirming a date for a women's retreat that I have been asked to lead and put on. Yes, that's right, this mother of seven is planning a retreat and is darn excited about it. I have such a passion for the Catholic faith and Church, and now God is giving me an opportunity to hopefully inspire, motivate, and convict other women about the beauty of our faith. It will be in May. I have a lot to learn and do before then, but I am really looking forward to the opportunity to use some of my other talents. I will post more later just in case any one around town here might be interested.
Sorry there haven't been pictures for a while. I am a terribly inconsistent blogger.

Oh, prayers for a good night sleep. I know the feeling, of if I could just get some sleep, I'll get better feeling!
Where is this retreat? Maybe I could go? If it's close enough. And if it's past RSV season.
