5mart Martha (and Mary) Monday.

From my list last week, I did everything except pray the rosary each day and take the boys for their blood tests. I have book their tests but the doctor they usually see was on holidays so we will see him this week. I missed the rosary on the day Tom was in hospital and on Saturday but managed it every other day.

This week I am going to change my 5mart Martha to 5mart Martha (and Mary) and list 5 spiritual things and 5 practical things for each area. I got the idea from Become What you are. She has a list for both the last two weeks.

So here are my 5 for the week:

Martha:

  • cut out a couple more top maternity patterns.
  • cut the curtains for the boys room.
  • Do times tables every day for home school.
  • Read Trixie Belden each day.
  • Keep the boys bsl diaries up to date.

Mary:

  • Go to week day mass.
  • Do a catechism quiz with Tom and Amelia.
  • Pray the rosary.
  • Read Angels in the water to the children.
  • Take the children to pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament.

Have a great week.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.
