Sunrise, Sunset

Rejoining this blog now that 5 years have passed. 5 years....3 more baby boys, the youngest of whom I am nursing as I type. Re-reading these previous entries, it's hard for me now to remember when Paul and Caleb were ever that little, or when I ever had time to craft posts like that. Is life just slipping by me, as I move steadily from one task to the next? Homeschooling, dishes, laundry, diapers, cooking, cleaning, homeschooling, dishes, laundry diapers, cooking, cleaning... I try to punctuate the day with prayer, be it a hastily whispered, fervently-meant, "Lord, help me!", or the Angelus at noon, an extra Rosary as the baby naps and the big boys play outside...but is it enough? Enough to keep me on track and focused on what this is all about? Enough to ensure that the boys know that what is most important in this life is how it ends? All I can do is be liberal with love....and conservative with my time.
