This morning we had a birthday party at eleven am so we had to go to early mass. I didn't wake up early enough to take all the kids so I just took the boys. I felt distant from the holy life at first but felt my spirit wake up especially at communion.

I got to share a great time at lazer tag with my son.
I was really busy with the kids by myself this evening.
I wished that I could go to the 12 step meeting.
I got a little too grouchy with the kids at times(selfishness).
We lit the advent candles.

Thanks be to God for this day.
