[Pluto's Honey]

I work nights-so I'm awake every Sat morning and Monday Morning-welcome to the LTP thread Where you from and why are you awake-Insomnia????

I don't work. My DH has a good job with the rr less than 2 years ago. I clean house on T and TH I have insomnia have had it a long time. They want me to take a pill everynight but i have to get the kids up on days DH is at work and I am afraid of not waking. I can be up over 24 hrs and be real sleepy at 5 and by bedtime can not go to sleep and be up all night again. I am in Arkansas. You are probably wondering what I am doing again.

 

[ckckc2000]

so where are you from????

 

[ckckc2000]

You read my mind-I can relate to the insomnia-I have forced sleeplessness-I work nights and pick up a lot of extra shift (all nights) so I end up getting little or no sleep most night-never fun

so where are you from????

Got it Arkansas

It's the Catholic Religion that typically gives up something for Lent(40days) and we don't eat meat on fridays-but they don't require it anymore-not it's just change your life to be more like Jesus-

I tryed giving up swearing-that lasted til I stubbed my toe!!! Just came out!!!!

so I think we might start by saying grace before each meal,something we should be doing,but haven't got into the habit of

I had given up swearing for years even slammed thumb in trunk and just calmly said "honey could you pop the trunk". About a year and a half a ago oh no there they were again. I thought what I have done...

I have tried to get in a habit of saying grace and we just seem to last a week or so but wanting to really make it happen.
I thought about always praying at a set time each day no matter what was going on even if we had plans-- stop and say a prayer and Jesus would know I was putting him first. But haven't tried that either.

When does Lent start? Do you not eat meat on Fridays in Lent or all Fridays? Is it all meat or just some kinds. Does you DH actually go along with that? Mine? He would actually think I went mad.

 

[Pluto's Honey]

Lent starts with Ash Wednesday this Tues 3/1 and goes til Easter Sunday

only No Meat on Lent Fridays-not all years-and it's all meats

My DH was raised very strict Catholic and he makes me go along with it-since I'm new at being Catholic,justt entered the Catholic Church in 2000

I'm a nurse and I'm working so at the top of the hour I usually have tons to do-especially at 4am-it the magical hour here-labs,x-rays etc....

I know it becoming ridiculous

.

I try to stop-I use to never swear,and then I joind the Army

Oh my goodness,do you learn to swear there!!! I had a room mate and every other word out of her mouth was foul

I was raised Catholic but always had questions and issues but hte Catholic Church doesn't allow questions at least not the ones around here

My children are very religious (much stronger faith than I have) and were very unsatisfied with the church
even at 6 Jess would say there has to be something better MOM

so about 6 years ago or so we found a small country Christian Church and never looked back

We found our spot
a place to really worship God and feel the love

some of my Catholic upbringing still infulences my life
I still follow Lent It just seems right

My parents also switched churches and everyone is happier

My one Aunt who is a Devot Catholic doesn't speak to us anymore
but my AUnt who is a CATHOLIC NUN says if we found a place to bring us closer to the Lord than GREAT

I think thats awesome. It really helps when the 2 are agreeable as 1. then you don't have to count on support from others those can just be bonuses. I am Pentecostal but grew up Baptist. I t is different when we change. But as long as we have the same goal as being with Jesus. That's what matters. I may not be Catholic but I think I will try to see if we can go without meat and have another sacrafice. Anything to become closer is always good. I have done a 40 day fast of something before but never start it on a certain day.

If I gave up swearing completely I would never finish a sentence

Ok not really that bad but close

plus now that my kids are older-they get the bad experience of hearing me swear-which is new,I use to be able to control myself in front of them... but now-it's #^it,#*mn it all,and What the *&ll all the time-I'm so naughty
