Welcome, Welcome Sabbath Morning....Then again, maybe not
So I learned a hard lesson today in Sacarament Meeting. Always be on time!!!! The past couple of weeks I have been on time and have been able to sit in the pews and Coytt has been a pretty good boy. Today, not so much. I was ready on time (meaning get there 10 minutes early) but just as I was about to get the boys out the door Dalon started acting hungry, so I had to sit to feed him. This put us behind and getting there after the opening song had started. Well being reverent was over before it even started. I found a seat in the chairs in the gym and that was that. Coytt thought this meant he could run all over. He wiggled off my lap and was gone before I could even get up. He thought he was so cute running through the rows of chairs and smiling at everyone. I didn't know what to do with Dalon, there was no way I would have caught Coytt if I carried the carseat or baby around, so I just left the poor little guy there hoping nothing would happen as I chased Coytt. What I really want to know is why there is always one mother who LETS her kids run around in the back of the gym thus tempting mine to join and creating fits when I the "mean" mommy don't let him join in the fun. Needless to say next time I will just take Dalon hungry and use the car seat to save a spot in the pews and then feed him in the mother's lounge. I will definately never be late again...well I hope so. Other than a wild sacrament meeting, where I did get the chance to bear my testimony and Coytt got his 15 seconds of fame as he sweetly smiled and waved saying "hi" into the microphone...how could I stay mad when he is so stinking adorable, church was very uplifting. I am so excited to study the Book of Mormon and the teachings of Joseph Smith at the same time!!!!! I have really tried learning more about Joseph and his life and teachings and in this process my testimony of him and his calling has grown so strong that most of the time I can't say his name without tears coming to my eyes. Needless to say I bawl all through relief society. Anyway I am just absolutely excited to study them together. I also have decided to start a "single mother" FHE co-op where at least once a month all of the single mothers in my ward will get together rotating houses and holding FHE together. We are including the women whose husbands are always away with work so Kristen you are more than welcome to join us anytime. I just thought it would be a great opportunity for us women to build a support group for one another and a chance for the children to get the most out of FHE. I still have to put the word out and some finishing touches on the idea, but the women I ran it past thus far seem to think it would be a pretty good idea. Anyway I better get to bed, 5am comes rather quickly.
