Yesterday (Sunday) morning was bad. We don't have to go to Church until 10 so usually we don't have to rush. However, Aaron had to work, so he was gone and the kids woke up fighting...always a good start to a day... I think I made 4 different breakfasts (well do you really make cold cereal or frozen waffles, but I did make the eggs), and no one seemed to listen when I asked them to get dressed. I found myself threatening to leave Isaac home if he wouldn't get dressed, just to find out it wasn't a threat. Instead his bike would be taken away for a few days, that seemed to work better. I didn't get in the shower until 9:00, we have to leave at 9:30 and we had to pick up an investigator and her daughter. You could say it was a STRESSFUL morning. One's I don't like.
We got to Church on time, sat down, and I was out with Hayden and Halle before we even got to the Sacrament. Lovely. So Isaac and Caite were sitting by themselves which is usually okay, but I didn't trust them yesterday. Caite came out a few times, got in trouble, and went back in quietly. Halle was a mess wanting to run everywhere and Hayden was trying to confine her. I was getting ready to explode when out of the corner of my eye I saw my Night in Shinning Armor walking through the door...only he was in blue scrubs.!!!He finished rounding early and was able to leave. I don't think I have ever been so happy to have him at church. I have gotten used to going to Church alone, but yesterday I just couldn't do it. Thanks Love, for rescuing me.

yeah, been there except my night and shining armor never came through that door??? You're an amazing mom! I posted this on my blog but I am sending it to you now because I think that you would enjoy it. www.sisterscafe.blogspot. Check it out. Great recipes and pictures too!
Awww...Amy that's so neat! I can't tell you how many times I have felt that way, and then Brandon either drives up or walks in. It truly is being rescued. The bright spot of the day for sure!
p.s. Are you on Facebook? I thought you were but now I don't see you.
Oh Amy~ I SOOO know. This is a review for my sundays for sure. This past sunday, as I sat husbandless, I got a new calling! Senior Nursery Leader. I served for a year or so had a year break and they put me back in there again. I must be gifted :)
I reminded than that we are moving in 3/4 months. Didn't change their offering. I will be happy about it though.
I feel your pain. It is a struggle, but you know that it will be worth it in the end. (Of course, that is hard to think about when you are trying not to kill your kids)
Remind me to tell you about the time I drug Damon down the aisle as he yelled for help from everyone we passed. (Hang in there! You are an inspiration!)
It feels like once you have kids, enjoying sacrament and such is all but gone, and you find yourself watching the clock waiting for primary to start so you get a break.
I find my big effort in the morning on a Sunday is making sure I have everything (I hope) that will appease and keep the kids reverent for church. We hardly ever make it on time, so you did really well.
Now next month I'll be taking my 3 kids on a plane to Australia, all 3yrs old and under, I remember 1.5 years ago with 2 it was a nightmare, Toby and I were both rather stressed and loathing the trip home. At lest this time we aren't coming back.
