Today L. made her First Reconciliation. It was a really nice ceremony - my good friend's brother is the Pastor of the Church, and he did a fantastic job with the kids. It was a great feeling to see Landis with the priest, talking, becoming more of a true Catholic every day. :) She looked gorgeous, and so innocent - it made me think of when A. and P. had their First Reconciliations. I have never actually witnessed any of the kids too well though, since as usual, my eyes were all teary. I have yet to actually see a concert, recital or anything similar, because I always get overwhelmed when the kids are doing something special. I can't imagine what I will be like at their weddings!

Still busy at work, but not as stressful. This past weekend, A. had a sinus infection, as did I, so we spent Sunday afternoon at the Immediate Care tag-teaming the P.A. for antibiotics. A. stayed home from school yesterday, and would probably start to feel better if she would get some sleep. We are all like vampires in this house - up at night - except for Daisy, our beloved yellow lab, who sleeps soundly. And loudly.

D., A. and I went to dinner with our dear friend, Mrs. B. on Saturday evening. It's amazing how when we go alone to dinner, we are in and out within an hour, and when we go with Mrs B. two hours seems like twenty minutes. We had such a wonderful time with her.

This weekend, D and I have to work an Irish Night at A.'s school. I wouldn't mind, except it's my weekend with the kids and I hate to not spend the time with them. My friend asked me to go to the Sabres game on Friday night and I said no for the same reason. I am having second thoughts on that decision though, because I haven't spent any time with my friend lately either! Basically, there just isn't enough time in the day for me to do what I want and/or need to do.

On that note, I am going to wash my face and watch TV with P. until bedtime, which my body is telling me is N O W.
