F@#$!!!

The season of Lent means different things to each person. Ironically, two of my friends (and blog friends) have given up or added the exact same thing - their blogs!

Jean and her stinkin' cute family

Jean @ the irvings has given up blogging except on feast days through the Lenten season, while Katie @ Life's Next Big Step has decided to blog daily about things she's grateful/thankful for.


Katie and her hubby on their big day last June!

Well, I've given up cursing (thus the title) for the next 40 days. Unfortunately it's become somewhat of a regular thing in my life and something I need to give up permanently. I think it has to do with frustration and stress from work. Regardless, it's not who I want to be and I certainly don't want to accidentally want to let something inappropriate slip in front of the little ones in our family - Brock, Avery and baby William!

So for the coming weeks there will be lots of these substitutes:
  • Shut the front door!
  • Oh my word!
  • Goodness gracious!
  • Fudgesicles!
Do you have any G-rated favorites I can try out?

Hey!! I just saw this! Thanks for the shout out, too!! :) I like what you gave up for lent, I should have done that - maybe I'll do that next year. ha! Miss you!! AND... Daniel has TWO final four tickets if you and Allen are interested?! I mean, I know a plane ticket, hotel and tickets are expensive, but it's not every day VCU is in the final four - just throwing it out there. Let me know - Daniel's trying to sell his tix asap.
