LONG day!

Confirmation Sunday today... 14.5 hours and 100 miles later, I'm finally done and relaxing at home. I started working on church stuff this morning at 7:00, and didn't get back home from my kids' receptions until 9:30 tonight. It was a good day, but I'm absolutely wiped out.

Poor Ellie had a worse day, I think. I had her in her crate during church, which she's used to (even if she doesn't necessarily like it always), but it was too much to leave her cooped up there all day long, too, so she became an outdoor dog for a day. I left her a full bowl of water and two new chewbones, and she was fine. I hate to do it that way, but that's a preacher's dog's life some days. =( She's sleeping very peacfully on the pillow next to me right now, though, and seems to be content with life.

I think I'm going to answer some e-mail, and call it a night. Holy moly, what a day! WAY more exhausting than Easter.
