That is how the invitation starts: "You are a hard working Christian woman in search of some 'Me' time. You may be in the middle of raising several small children. Your husband may work late or travel a lot. You may be a Corporate VP in charge of several challenging people.
This organization gives you an incredible 'Me' opportunity. Founded with Spirituality Enrichment in mind, this organization can give you a 'warm and fuzzy'. It offers friendship and camaraderie through various events, it allows you to talk to God through prayer and rosaries...."
I don't know about you but nothing says "me" time and " warm and fuzzy" like saying the rosary. The invitation encourages me to bring my buddies. Anyone? Anyone?
I also got invited to a school related social gathering. I don't want to go. I don't know how to behave in situations like that. These people like their children and their husbands. These people stop drinking after one glass of wine. These people don't stand over the appetizer plates because they didn't eat dinner. These people don't have poop cramps and gas. These people don't sweat like a stuck pig in 45 degree weather. These people don't have butt mouth from beer. These people know what "polite" conversation is. These people are not dying for a cigarette every fifteen minutes. These people don't puke and pee simultaneously on the floor of the bathroom. These people don't stick flowers in their own eyes. These people don't run into inanimate objects with their cars.
Maybe J. should go alone.

Wow - you're filled with wisdom and questions today, eh?
You know you can always count on me for some fun Rosary reading...
Last week at R's soccer game, the other coach asked if anyone on either team wanted to "thank Jesus for anything". Of course someone on his team said, in an adorable 5 year old voice "Thank you Jesus for soccer". "Yes, indeed...Thank you Jesus for soccer...would anyone from Holy's team like to thank Jesus for anything???" Anyone? Bueller? Our girls were looking around the field to see if they could see this Jesus guy...so the mean super Catholic coach invited us all to join him in a Hail Mary...which meant half of our girls kind of genuflected - hitting their heads about the face and neck - and then looked down and said "watermelon watermelon watermelon" like we taught em!
