The Second Sunday of Advent Peace




Living in the United States after 9/11 and being a military wife.  I lived the first (10) years of my marriage with looming thoughts of war daily.  My husband and I celebrated many Christmas apart. 

When I leave my home, I come across much negative draining energy. I find myself longing to seek refuge and the only place I find peace is at home.  Yes, it’s noisy and I must go into the tub to pray the rosary at times, but home is peace.  It is where I know I can pray, eat, laugh and enjoy my family. 
It is not easy to stick to a routine.  Since my uncle went into the nursing home for rehabilitation after his coma.  I feel overwhelmed with taking care of the house, going to working, spending time with the little one, my husband and visiting my uncle to keeps spirits up
.
You must find a way to be at peace and be still during the day to keep sane in this fast-paced world.   Each morning I read a mediation from my e-mail subscription from the Catholic Company and I pray a rosary.

I Can Cook Again

Disclaimer:  I'm not an affiliate of the Air Fryer XL.  I'm not getting money to talk about their product.  I'm writing about the fryer because it may help moms with disabilities cook for their families or any busy mom for that matter.
Uncle Joey is the cook in the house since I can no longer stand at the stove. Since he is in hospital dinner fell on us.   I decided to put the air fryer to work.

I have to say it's easy to use and I don't have to worry about getting burnt.  
Homemade french fries are my favorite. They cooked in air fryer in 18 minutes. All I had to do was spray oil on the fries. We had Omaha steaks also made in the fryer I don't remember how many minutes.





No one likes salmon in my house but me so I got to make Salmon and Bok Choy.  The Salmon was excellent it was cooked through and not dry.
















We also cooked pork chop but I forgot to take a photo. All you have to do is spray the food with some oil put it in fryer and use the automatic setting.  I turn t…

My Parents Have Made Contact

Image
MY PARENTS ARE FOUND This past weekend my cousin spotted my dad in town but he was preoccupied looking for necessities and she didn't speak to him. We keep it to ourselves until we got more information. Since my mum was not with him. We were afraid of the worst because pop would not leave mum alone in this environment. Mum called my sister and spoke with her briefly yesterday evening. Mum said they were ok. They were getting water from a Spigotat one of the grocery stores about (7) miles from the farm. She said her ulcer in her leg burst open and she and pop were scared because she bled for a while until it stopped. Today made 12 days since I spoke to my mum. While working on some Disney bookings for clients. My cell rang it was mum. I began to shake because her photo and number were blinking on my cell. It was a quick 5 minutes emotional call with tears and fast-talking. We were afraid of the call dropping. She told me she loved me. Yet, the farm is gone only the house is…

If Not NOW? When?

I started to write about our potty training saga because it was humorous.  Then I hear the breaking news in the background; another school shooting, this time in my state.  The school is about (2) hours away from my home.  

It feels like there is a shooting each week.  Many people seem to be desensitized to this issue. Each shooting makes me frightened to put my only child in the traditional school system.  I'm praying that I will have the opportunity to homeschool my #GingerSnap.  

The news says that there are 2 victims.  That is incorrect because the shooter is also a victim. I can't imagine a policeman coming up to this Mother and having to tell her 'your son was the shooter and he is dead.'  While a young girl clings to life and another boy is in the hospital.   

We as a nation need to have an OPEN dialogue regarding the gun issue. Everyone needs to work on this issue regardless of their political affiliations and beliefs. Our children need us for support and guidance…
