No rest for the wicked

Sunday,being the day after Grandma was buried, I wanted to do nothing more than sleep in, rest and just relax. Too bad that it just happened to be the week before palm Sunday which means Passion Practice. Our parish does a dramatization of the Palm Sunday passion which I have been a part of for a few years now. I have had a few different parts through the years but have portrayed Mary Magdala for the past few. I love being a part of this wonderful experience but today just wasn't a good day. Practice only takes a couple hours which would leave me the rest of the day except that our Parish's mission also started yesterday. Mike video tapes the parish's missions and other events so after Passion practice we ordered some tacos from Taco Bell, ate and got ready to go back. At the end of Monday's mission, all were invited to gather for orderves and fellowship. Our Diocese bishop was also in attendance for the first time since he has been assigned to our area. Mike asked if I would like to stick around , to which I declined. I really just needed some quiet time, Just my family and I to relax. The calendar is full this week and next week is Holy week so there will probably not be much quiet time for awhile . I guess that sometimes that is just how it goes. For now I will just have to take a minute here and a minute there . Please understand if I do not post for a few days or then again being the "backwards" person I am I just may post more.
