Reading at Mass

This morning was definitely better than yesterday, which is a definite blessing. Today was Mass day at school so I dropped the boys off and stuck around. Mass was great as it always is. I ended up having a small asthma attack in the middle of Mass. Not at all my finest moment, I wish that it would go away. One can always wish right. This time of year is rough just the up and down. Come back summer.
John Michael ended up with a yellow face today for not listening and playing while the teacher was going over their Advent program. He knows better and it really upsets me. It upsets him too though, which is definitely a good thing. If he did not care than we would have big problems.
Danny had a great day at school. He read today at Mass. I was so proud of him and let him know. He really enjoys reading during Mass and is really good at it. I was definitely one proud momma! Of course I am always proud of my boys, but moments like this make my heart even more full.
John Michael's room is still clean, but Danny's is not. Today they decided that I might have taken away the TV, so they would play Monopoly. We had to explain that they could not play until their rooms and the den were clean. I just want them to respect what they have instead of always expecting more. I am working on it. Jake and Owen (our elves) and Aubie (their reindeer) are helping me out.
Well, they are in bed and as soon as I am done with this set of photographs I am right there with them. I am super exhausted!
