A Day Off

Today should have been a very busy day. We were supposed to go to 9:30am mass followed by Theo's final confirmation class. Then we were going to rush home to make two soccer games. When I woke up this morning, I decided that I just couldn't do all of that. So we skipped the only thing I had any choice over - mass. Theo still had to go to confirmation class, but that didn't start until 10:45am. Brendan and I went to a nearby bakery during class and had a nice leisurely breakfast. As we left church, it started to pour. Just as I was trying to come to terms with standing outside in the rain for four hours through two soccer games, the phone rang. The park district cancelled all the games! I got my entire afternoon back! The boys and I did do a little housecleaning, but mostly we enjoyed listening to the rain while we rested. I love rainy Sundays!
