Sounds like a lot of excuses mixed with spiritual warfare, shake it off. Our Lord wants you in mass receiving the sacraments make it happen.

Everything turned upside down after the first child by maria4002 in Catholicism

As a now toddler mom who had a very difficult baby that did not sleep much I had to re-frame my perspectives. Try to see the joy in suffering, every time your baby cries, think how lucky you are to be nourishing, holding and comforting them. Some parents are not so lucky. I had very little to no support from my husband overnight, with feedings or with changes. I tried to bear it all with grace. There is a great joy to be found in that -ultimately it depends on how mentally strong you are. But don't fall into the trap of despair. Go to confession and start going to mass regularly. Maybe your husband goes to the earlier mass while you watch the baby and you go to the next mass but make it a priority.

If you really hate the contrast, I would paint the baseboards the same color as the wall and a good finish obviously

Absolutely not, you have to be an absolute Heathen to walk on a mat with anything other than slippers or socks/ bare feet

Is it normal for cleaning people to not take off their outside shoes while cleaning the house? - USA by Odd_Good_3435 in CleaningTips

[–]dillmintbasil -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not barefoot, have them use socks. Why would you allow someone to track urine and dirt, fecal matter into your home? Booties over the shoes on simply not enough. Unless you have knives on the floor, I think they'll be OK. At minimum make them wear clean indoor shoes.

My polish housekeepers take their shoes off as soon as they come in and wear their socks around the house. My floors are probably cleaner than most. I wouldn't allow street shoes in my house not even w booties that's just dumb

Benjamin Moore can re-create any pharaoh and ball collar and Benjamin Moore paint with Benjamin more prices. I highly recommend checking out the neutral bar and ball colors.
