Hmmmmm, Why Do People Think Catholics Are...
...you know...voodoo, magical powers, spells and witchcraft, cult, "Mary worshipers"?
Maybe it's stuff like this?
From the article:
"Brother Lawrence said he knows there are people who are skeptical about the powers of such holy relics, and the powder's mystery probably will not work on those who do not have faith."
Uh huh.
Hat tip: my mom who pointed out the article about the Holy Land by Mary Ann Kuharski (in The Catholic Servant that was in our bulletin) where she mentions that shrine. The rest of her article is lovely but this stuff is just silly..."Take one drink of rock powder per day (husband too) and soon you'll have a baby!". Sheesh.

Things To Do Before I Die
1. Finish half marathon.
Check.
Heehee! I DID IT! AAAAAANNNNNDDDD, I did it much better than I expected!
For all of the details and pictures, go to my training blog. I am posting all about it and will have that post up in a little while.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...things here at home were pretty tame as far as I know. Weazy stayed overnight at Trine's and Trine told her when she woke up how I did at the run. Weazy said, "She finished the marathon before I even woke up!". Tommy drank a bottle and followed his normal routine. I doubt he even missed me. He is such a good baby. I missed everybody! Butch had gotten home pretty early on Friday and I was home about 7pm on Saturday night. I was sooooo tempted to stay at the spa where we dropped off my sil's brother (who ran the whole marathon). It sure would have been nice to plunk my butt down into a nice, hot jacuzzi and get a full body rub-down!
I set up the pool before I left, so the kids had the first day of summer going in full swing.
We are getting to know our neighbors again now that the weather is nice and school is out. They drift on by to share in the summer fun often! Thomas likes the grass and tries to grab it with his pudgy fingers but it takes less time just to bend in half and bring his mouth to the ground, he's found!

2 More Days Until Grandma's Marathon!
I have opened up my 1/2 marathon training blog to all readers so if you want to see my "training journey" from 2 weeks after Tommy was born until now...go check it out! It's kind of wild to see how the first few miles were pure torture and now, I can run 10 miles with really no problem! It was good to do and to show the kids that practice really does make (almost) perfect! It's also good to show people that doing something you HATE can yield fruits and is worth the sacrifice and suffering.
Okay... It's good to show ME that stuff. I wonder EVERY DAY if it's worth it but when my stamina is up, my heart is healthier, and my weight is down, I can keep up more easily with the kids? I KNOW it's worth it and I'll never regret the hour or so a day that I took to spend some time with the road. I pray while I'm running (had to give up my adoration hour since Tommy was born) so I could never consider it a waste of time (I never listen to music or anything).
My training blog can get ugly so be warned!

Is It Summer YET?
Last weekend we started to get ready for the city-wide garage sale. I usually get rid of everything in the house (Goodwill) but I decided to hold on to things this year and have a garage sale. The kids really like doing it and dream of the millions they'll make (really, it's usually less than 100 dollars total) but it's always an adventure. Our kitchen table (a garage sale find from about 3 years ago) was pitiful and covered in paint and marker so Butch took it upon himself to bring it outside on Saturday and sand it down and reinforce the legs for me. It's being used in the garage for the sale. With the breakfast bar covered in the clothes I can't stay on top of (with the garage sale going from Wed.- Sat.!) we officially have no place to eat. We're winging it but I can't wait until all the clutter is gone and we have our nice, non-painty table back! So, here are some pictures we took from last weekend up until tonight:
"Behold! The King of Drool!"
"It's GOOD to be King!"
"HEY LOOK! It's the ICE CREAM MAN! Quick, get some change!"
Weazy sports just one of the many "Fourth of July" shirts we'll be buying before the summer is done.
My studly man and his sander. I tell you, there's nothing hotter than a hubs who finishes a project!
Here are the clothes I DON'T get paid for folding and putting away:
Man, this is only about 2 days worth of freakin' laundry!
These are the clothes (and other misc. garbage) I HOPE to get paid for neatly hanging and displaying:
Mari has been having a ball digging in the 25 cent box the neighbor girl brought over to sell. She's been a "pin-cess" for a few days now. She hauls a purse around pretty much wherever she goes. She sure buys a lot of stuff for a girl who doesn't really make much money.
All that shopping (and POTTY TRAINING is busy work)!
Here are a few shots of my view from flat on my back in the driveway afer my run tonight (around 8pm). It was finally a nice day and night with no hail or crazy wind! Butch handed Tommy off to Weazy and she plopped him into my arms just as I was doing my sit-ups. They got to be kind of wet sit-ups with the King of Drool doing what he does best. He really liked being my hand weight!
Some of my friends ask me, "HOW can you RUN while nursing and taking care of all of those kids? How did you get in shape so fast?"
Well, I say that it's things like those that are demonstrated here...I HAVE to run because it's cheap and easy. I have an infant who sucks the life out of me every couple of hours and a toddler that yells, "I want a ride!" and hops on my legs every chance she gets. Combine that with the other kids who keep me hopping in every direction and a hubs who chases me around all the time?...
I can't HELP but stay in shape!

Don't Give Water To Babies Under 1
I have never given any of my babies "sugar water" and for good reason. It's just empty calories and bad for their system. It just felt wrong to give them anything (besides the occasional bottle of formula if I didn't have any breast milk on hand if I was going away for a little while) besides breast milk for at least the first year or so. Here's some very good advice on WHY it's wrong to give too much water (even one bottle!) to a baby under one year old (this is just part of it, click on this link for more links and the rest):
Pediatricians at Johns Hopkins Children’s Medical Center sounded the alarm recently that water isn’t a healthful beverage to give babies under one year of age. Every year, they see healthy children being rushed to their emergency room suffering seizures after having been given water to drink. It takes very little water to lead to water intoxication in babies and tiny tots. As little as three ounces a day could be too much water for a child under a year old, said Dr. Allen J.Walker, M.D., head of the Emergency Department at Hopkins Children’.
As their notice said:
Too much water dilutes sodium in the blood and flushes it out of the body, thus altering brain activity, which can lead to a seizure. Infants under 1 year of age may be more prone to these types of seizures than older children because a young infant’s diet does not contain enough food sources to replenish the lost sodium. Also, an infant’s immature kidneys cannot flush out excess water fast enough, causing a dangerous buildup of water in the body.
Breast milk and formula are the best way to keep a child under 1 year of age who is not eating solid foods hydrated, pediatrician Allen Walker says, and straight water should be avoided. Over-diluted formula can lead to water intoxication as well. Electrolyte-enriched pediatric drinks are not recommended for routine hydration.
Symptoms of water intoxication in an infant include:
· changes in mental status, i.e., unusual irritability or drowsiness
· low body temperature, usually 97 degrees or less
· facial swelling or puffiness
· seizures
While these seizures generally do not lead to permanent health problems, they are preventable. A parent’s natural instinct in hot weather is to give their infant water to prevent dehydration, said Dr. Walker, but if they need extra fluid, breast milk or formula is best.
It’s not just the heat
There are two other serious reasons today’s parents may be increasingly inclined to dilute their babies’ formula or give them water: financial difficulties and food insecurity, and concerns about fat babies.

That Ten People Meme (for Amy)
I'm supposed to name ten living people I would like to spend 10 minutes with.
Shelly already named most of the people that came immediately to my mind.
I'm going to stick to the order to only choose living people but I'm going to add what I wish our main topic of conversation/my main question would be...
10. Raymond Arroyo (his children and his job)
9. Pope Benedict (his shiny, white hair and what kind of shampoo he uses)
8. Kim Jong Il ("What's with the doofy hairdo and the ugly leisure suits?")
7. Bill Gates (I'd ask him for some money. He has lots extra.)
6. Mother Angelica (Her mother and her relationships with some of the people in her life and if she had any regrets.)
5. Don Williams (I'd just ask him to sing me some songs and I wouldn't talk at all.)
4. Fr. Corapi (I'd ask if I could give my confession and wait for him to yell at me but good.)
3. Any of the Medjugorje "seers" during their "apparitions".
2. Stephen Hawking (he just seems very interesting)
1. The Chief of one of the tribe of remote tribes of indigenous people they just spotted in South America somewhere. I think it would be interesting to talk to someone who's never known anything about civilization.
I could add many more people to this list but I stuck to the first ten I could think of.

Tommy Toofer
He's only 3 months old!
(my earliest teether)
Yesterday, number one popped out and today he officially has TWO TEETH! I got a picture this morning of him with his fingers NOT in his mouth. He constantly sucks on his first two fingers of his right hand. He wasn't cranky at all for the past few weeks but he's been an absolute drool FACTORY. I have to keep bibs on him all of the time. Now I know why!

Disco Sistah
Mom: Hey, Trina? Go check on Mari. She sure has been quiet in that classroom all by herself for a while now.
You KNOW what usually happens!
Trina: Naw, she's just coloring in there.
Mom: Uh huh, but WHAT is she coloring???
Trina: Okay, okay...I'll go get the camera!
(I think she did a pretty good job with Trina's makeup, considering she's not a professional makeup artist...yet.)

Homeschool Conference and Stuff
I went to the event (at St. Thomas University in St. Paul, MN) and met some ladies at the "blogger's roundtable". It was nice but the best part was seeing Paula there. I love that girl (she's back there in front of the window).
I went by myself on Friday but didn't plan very well so I went again today at the very end with the girls and Tommy. I RAN to the Seton table and snatched up about 80% of the kids' school for next year (the rest they will send FREE SHIPPING in a little while). We also got 2 big, replica Daniel Boone rifles for the boys, some T-shirts for me and the two big girls, mantillas (Trina has been talking about getting some for a while so I finally gave in) for me and the big girls, some Geo-Deo games, some really cool, super powerful magnets, and an autographed copy of Catholics and the New Age by Fr. Mitch Pacwa (who was there and signed it for me and played with Tommy!). I missed his talks, but getting to chat with him and have him ogle Tommy was even better!
Mari was a big, stink butt while we were shopping there.
THEN, on our way home (actually while we were in the parking lot, ready to leave) Butch calls me and tells me that there is a HUGE hailstorm and tornado warning and we would be driving RIGHT TOWARD it if we headed home! I called my bro-in-law and he watched the radar and the map and got us ALMOST past the storm but it hit us right as we were in front of the KARE 11 studio in Golden Valley. The Perkin's flag was almost stick straight as the front slammed into us and we sped into the parking lot. I pulled onto the sidewalk about 3 feet away from the door and let Trina and Mari out first as the first hailstones started to wing into the back of the van. They got way too intense for me, Weazy, and Tommy so we had to wait about 5 minutes for a window of time to dart out of the van and into the restaurant. We decided to stay and eat because the hail lasted about 20 minutes! I finally got to go out to the van to move it and, as I parked, I saw this in the sky:
(See the KARE 11 sign across the street?)
I got more hail damage on my van. The rearveiw mirror is smashed and the hail knocked my blind spot mirror off!
We got home safely and the boys grilled some burgers on our new grill that we got from the neighbors (it was an extra one they didn't want anymore). We are probably going to have our parents over for grilling tomorrow.
I hope it doesn't hail again.

Holy Big Head Mass!
I think I just sh*t my drawers.
"Heart of the Beast Theater"...INDEED!
Go HERE for picture highlights if you can't see the video (which would give you nightmares anyway).
Ya know, it just ain't a good Mass without a ginormous headed scary mask person prancing around trying not to fall on the audien...I mean "congregation". "Hey! Don't you remember the wolves leading the way into Jerusalem...oh, that Easter Island Head Jesus is SO realistic!" It's really catching on! I wonder if they're doing it to scare the bejeevers out of little kids (and adults!) on purpose?
Hey, wouldn't it be funny to "accidentally" trip one of the giant heads and see what happened after that? Man, I should NOT be thinking about Mass in this way...NOBODY should! This is NOT Mass. I don't know what the heck it is but it's getting to look more and more like some sort of pagan nightmare than anything resembling the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Tommy says, "Hey, let me in on some of that big head puppet action! I've got the perfect look for it!"

Dear Insurance Company,
I know that we've had claim after claim due to the storms in our area in the last few years, but this is the biggest hail I've ever seen! We got two storms (on Sunday) within minutes of each other and both had layers and layers of this nasty stuff. The first storm was preceded by GREEN sky and very ominous atmosphere but didn't cause any damage. The second storm was BEATING on the house and was so loud you had to shout to be heard. Mari was shouting "POPCORN!. That's what it looked like falling from the sky and bouncing off of our windows, house, VAN, and lawn!
