We had a good but busy weekend. Brad, Alma and the kids came to stay with us on Friday and headed home to St. Louis on Saturday afternoon. Saturday consisted of an early afternoon Hurling match against Milwaukee for Steve and then an afternoon at Brocach with 100% of the beer profits helping the O'Connell kids (children that were in a recent car accident in which both of their parents were killed. The mother was on Steve's hurling team). Let's just say the guys on the Hurling teams made it their responsibility to drink up....only because it was "for the children" though. Yeah right!

Here lately I feel like I've just been waiting for the weekends to end because I've been so tired from all the busyness. The work week hasn't been much better, but at least I can normally force myself to go to bed at a semi-decent hour. Hopefully after this week things will begin to slow down again just a little bit at work and I'll be able to sleep better rather than waking up in the middle of the night only to think about all the things I need to get done at the office.

Yesterday was Missy's 30th birthday and I'm so sad that I wasn't able to celebrate with her. I miss her being in my life so much and sometimes just want to pack up and move back to St. Louis just to see her, Dale and the kids on a regular basis again. I'm looking forward to this weekend and our date at the best breakfast place in all of St. Louis on Saturday morning!
