7am- woken up by the screech of a child in need...
GOAL: Let Jonathan sleep in a bit before you get him up.
8am- wake up Jonathan, he forgets to wish you a happy mothers day. Sigh, and the day of "appreciation and honor" begins.
8:30am- get ready for church.
9:00am- decide church is not going to happen unless you skip the shower today and try to cover your imperfections with a few layers of makeup.
9:15am- realize you are going to be late, and that the bags under your eyes are most definitely a permanent fixture.
10:00am- go to church, make your own row at the back where the kids will cause the least amount of disturbance.
10:30am- Caleb begins screaming when I ask for a prayer request, guess he doesn't like hearing mommy's voice on the speakers. Quickly finish speaking and try to calm him down.
10:35am- prayer begins, Caleb continues causing a collossal disturbance, send Timothy out with him to keep him quiet.
10:36am- hear Caleb's screeches carried through the sanctuary. Turn red in embarressment and a minor hint of pride as you realize that he is calling for his mama. Awww.
10:37am- call tim back in and hold Caleb throughout the remainder of the service, realizing that despite the days scattered beginnings, holding your almost 2-year-old in your arms as he whispers love and cuddling affection to you is, in fact, a wonderful way to feel honored and appreciated.
Happy Mother's Day!
