I woke up this morning

at 5am...not because my kids woke me up, but because my husband is coming home today..I just couldn't sleep anymore....I was reminded of my childhood when I would wake up early in excitement of my first day of school (yes, I admit that I was one of those kids who had everything packed and ready to go like 3 weeks before school started) In my excitement, and in my inability to sleep I decided to declare this day a feast day, no better yet, I declared it a family Solemnity...I knew that today would be a day of great celebration..Enriquito has been looking forward to today knowing that he will get to watch a movie with his Papi and eat special desserts and all sorts of fun treats like that....so then I thought, but a true Solemnity must be celebrated with Holy Mass..so that is exactly what we did...this morning I took my crew to morning mass and I even got to go to confession beforehand!..Yes, a true Solemnity, indeed. God is good.
