Celebrating the little things in life that add up...
1. I took a bit of time the other day and cleaned out a small portion of my walk in closet. I was able to throw some things away and I have an 18 gallon tote filled with items to donate.
2. Yesterday I scored the last rotisseri chicken at Sam's Club. Ordinarily I will go down the main aisle and scope out the chickens to see if I need to go there first or if I have time to grab the juices first. Yesterday I didn't do that. I was hoping to get two chickens, but I was very grateful to just get the one. I might have turned into a crying pregnant lady if I didn't manage to get to the chicken before the other people who were crowding in on it. Apparently impending snow storms make already cooked chikens a hot item.
3. I got some laundry done yesterday. I've been putting it off for days since I didn't want go into the cold basement laundry room.
4. We got to Mass really late on Saturday and discovered that getting there three minutes before Mass begins means you can't find a spot for a family of five to sit. So we had to go up to the dreaded crying room. I think Katie was the only toddler up there and I was surprised that it wasn't a circus up there like it was in our old parish. Of course, I still wasn't thrilled about going up there.
5. I took an hour off last night and went to confession and Mass by myself. It was a much needed break.
Your church has Confession during the week? What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteBarb, On Wednesday nights during the school year our parish offers confession for half an hour (It usually winds up being an hour since there's almost always a line!) on Wednsday nights followed by a 6:30PM daily Mass. It's great for those days when I don't wake up to the alarm and miss the 8AM Mass. They used to have it two weeknights a week but I'm not sure why they did away with the second night. It really is so nice to know that we can run over there mid-week for confession especially during soccer season when our Saturdays are jam packed.
DeleteI agree with Barb! We have confession on Friday SUPER early and Saturday evening. I actually love that the lines are long. Means the sacrament is alive and well!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's awesome that the line is long, I just prefer to not be at the tail end of it. At our parish you could get there 15 minutes early and still wind up being 10th in line. Confession is also available at two different times on Saturday, too.
DeleteYou poor thing. I know you are over all this snow. YAY for getting your chicken. Different Parishes in our Diocese have Confession during the week. Ours is Thursday from 6-7 pm and they stay later f need be.
ReplyDeleteAnywhoooo glad you go to do it by yourself. Blessings, Em
