"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Oops, Day 10

My awesome sister stopped by this afternoon.  She called before hand and asked if I wanted Starbucks. A) Who am I to decline coffee ever and B) I was actually struggling after a 5:10am wake-up with my baby and a gray, rainy afternoon stretching out before me.  I told her to just get what she got...
So, being the super-generous, fun and loving sister that she is, she got me a venti (that's FOUR espresso shots, girls) caramel macchiato. And it was good. I was doing greaaaat for several hours.

Mmm. Then I crashed.  But, because I've been working so hard at battling depression, I said to myself "It was the coffee!" So, the disastrous house will not get me down.  No. That will be tomorrow's work. I am not a failure, I just can't drink that much coffee in one...week.
