Today’s a big game day if you’re a Buckeyes fan.  We play The Team Up North.

And you know what?  I’m really out of it this year, not really caring about football.  I’m struggling to keep up with my life, balancing a few balls in the air, and failing to remember when it’s Saturday and I need to have my game day face on.

When I listened to the interview this week on Catholic Moments, I realized that there’s a name for what I’m suffering, and it’s adultitis.  I’m going to have to learn more about that, I think (and it sounds as though the learning will be a fun adventure).  In that episode, my Mary Moment is a reflection on the wedding at Cana as I explore a bit about Mary’s title Mother of Divine Providence.  (You can read more about that title at my column a few weeks ago at Today’s Catholic Woman.)

So I’m battling being a bad fan and adultitis, but, in the midst of that knowledge (there’s always next year for being a better fan, right?), I have been talking pet challenges and Thanksgiving traditions (or lack of) with a few of my heroes good friends on the Faith & Family Live Cast.  That was such a great way to start my day.  We all had a cuppa and I hung up feeling as I always do when I’m around the ladies who make the Faith & Family Live community such an oasis for me: refreshed, renewed, ready.

And my latest column is up over at CatholicMom.com: Salon Reflections.  This is a sort of tribute to my mother-in-law, inspired by some comments I overheard at the beauty salon.

Now I must go and attend to my day.  Here’s hoping your game day (if that’s what this Saturday is to you) and your weekend are full of blessings.
