Unknown said...: Many years ago when I worked for a law firm, I never called in sick, I mean NEVER. One day I decided I just didn't want to go to work...I wanted to call in sick and just play....so I called my boss and mustard up the courage to tell "the lie" that I was sick and all, and just couldn't do it..so I told her, I was sick and tired of getting up and coming to work, and I wouldn't be in.....well, everyone was so concerned after my playful day off that I got so much attention and they were all sooo extra nice to me...like I was having a break down or something...I wasn't...I just didn't want to go to work. LOL it was great ...and I didn't even have to tell a little white lie!; September 18, 2009 at 12:38 AM
MightyMom said...: but I always wondered....who do I call when I want to call in?

Do I tell hubby I'm calling in sick?? Do I tell the kids?? Will there be a written warning placed in my file for calling in without enough notice to get a replacement? Where's my file kept??

Who, exactly, is my HR rep???? (the cat, maybe?); September 18, 2009 at 12:48 AM

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide our children in the choice of spouse. Don't let them be carried away by false charms or be fascinated by mere outward glamour, but guide their minds to look beneath and beyond all external attractiveness for the deeper things which alone are worth while.

Especially let the choice be of one who is a fervent Catholic, true in thought and word and deed to those ideals which are Yours, especially the value of their purity.

Dear Father of us all, give Your guiding help to our children, who are Your children, too. We will be letting them go soon, but please don't ever let our children go from you. Amen

St. Valentine, patron of romantic love, pray for us!

O, St. Joseph...

...whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings; so that having engaged here below thy Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name, and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
