Last Sunday, baby Joe was welcomed into the world of Catholics. As Baptisms go, it was very nice and everything went well. Stuffing 20 or so people into a too small house can be a challenge but it all worked out, just as it always does. The food was good and the company was great.

Supermom?

I have always wondered if I take on more than I can handle. That said, I continue to take on the world and don't have the heart to say no....to anything. It always gets done and I always come through but the stress in preparation is too much to handle sometimes. This week, I helped plan a birthday party, this morning I catered it - tomorrow, Joseph is being christened and we are having a party here. So, my house smells like a restaurant and I could probably use a team of maids - a couple of nannies and a full kitchen staff wouldn't hurt either. I am cooking, cleaning , have a list of errands to run and Peter, my 38 year old child, is moping because he is hungry. I wish I was Samantha from Bewitched.

Joseph is finally napping- he had a pretty long day. We attended a birthday party this morning and braved Wal Mart immediately afterward. He was cross and miserable and who can blame him? I am tired too.....

As always, there are too many things to be done and not enough hours in the day.
