Absolutely no words of wisdom just a good morning and what's up in your corner of the world?

Here I am, not going to bed until almost 1AM and up at my new daily appointed hour of 5:18AM!
The party was a great success. DH was totally surprised. He expected his sisters and niece and family but certainly not the crowd that was there. Everyone seemed to have a really great time and lots of compliments on the food. We had all kinds of munchies (courtesy of Costco), salsa and chips, I made a spinach artichoke dip in a bread bowl, assorted cheeses and crakers, mini quiches, piggies in a blanket, vegetable dip w/veggies, mini chicken rolls. I also made a red sangria and white sangria which seemed to be a big hit. We had ordered eggplant parmigana, chicken franchese, steak & peppers and penne ala vodka and then a 6 foot hero. Leftovers but not enough to say wow I ordered too much food. Costco cake-white cake with chocolate icing and a strawberry mousse filling. Can't go wrong for the price and it's a really nice cake. All the kids pitched in to help including the BF's and GF to do whatever was necessary DS was great last night as he gathered up all the garbage and recycling. Some dishes remained this morning that didn't fit in the dishwasher so I cleaned those up this morning. The kitchen still needs to be returned to its pre party state and cooler emptied although both my refrigerators are pretty full. DD and her BF have already left to head back to MA. Her BF has Red Sox tickets as a gift from the groom of a wedding party he's in so they needed to be back early. All in all, good people, good food, great weather and seems like a good time for everyone.
Have to get my act together this morning and unfortunately I have to run to the grocery store to pick up some essentials for the week. By the time I finish up that chore it will be time to rescue the poor Otto from the doggie motel. I hope he's not too mad at me. Everyone was looking for him yesterday but it really would have been too hard to keep track of him. I have so much to catch up on around here but not sure after being on the go since very early yesterday morning and not much sleep last night how ambitious I'm going to be. Definite menu of leftovers this evening!
Li-Deb-I meant to mention before that I'm sorry that Katie has to go to summer school but sometimes it's something that has to happen to get themselves back on track. I think you handled the situation well especially the MIL situation!
As I say every morning, time to get my act together and get this Sunday shakin'! Hope everyone has a splendid Sunday!
