Today there was a ring of the doorbell. It was Fed Ex! Yahoo! What gifts could they be bringing for us? Woohoo! It is my lamp that ordered from joann.com. It was one of their Cyber Monday deals and was more than 50% off....$35 for a close to $200 dollar lamp. How could I pass that up. It rocks. I also ordered a new...
Today M was praying while taking a nap. I heard her praying while laying in her bed. She was supposed to be napping but instead, I heard a Hail Mary then an Our Father.
