This morning I woke up at a decent hour and got the boys going to go with me to early mass.  The KOfC had it's corporate communion this morning.  I was worried about making it there on time and as we started running late I got short tempered with the boys.  I was also anxious because I didn't know what I was expected to do.  Everything was just fine and I was grateful for the opportunity to worship together with my new fraternal brothers and for the opportunity to be a part of building up our parish.  I was however disappointed in myself for allowing the boys to dissuade me from attending the reception afterward.  It was a great opportunity to network with the men but I was a little uncertain about how the boys would behave and I was afraid of a public fit.  I should trust God more next time.

When I came home my wife was in a frenzy to get herself and the girls off to mass in time to set up the children's liturgy.  She bickered with me and then had an angry outburst when I said that the event at the previous mass was for the families.  She acted as if I neglected inviting her. I should have explained my uncertainty in a less vigorous manner.

I tried to do homework in the afternoon but only got a little done.  I also worked on my job search obligation but spent most of the afternoon migrating files from my old to new computer.

I saw a litte of a program about the patients in an emergency room with severe medical problems.  One guy beat his woman in front of his child and jumped out of a 5th floor.  I was grateful for a peaceful life and stable health today.

I got to talk to a friend with less than 30 days sobriety today.

Thanks be to God.
