Are your Sundays like this? 9:00 Jason left house to pick up one teenager; I received phone call that other kids need rides 9:15 Left the house to pick up neighborhood kids on church bus 9:30 Arrived at Church, only to be told R--- called and wanted a ride Practiced choir special 9:45 Left church to pick up R--- 9:50 Got a call from Jason; R-- got a ride and is on the way to church 9:55 Arrived at Church to teach Sunday School (15 minutes late), remembered I have a choir solo and nursery duty, so found someone to fill in the nursery 10:55 Worship Service 11:35 Sermon started-- tried to keep all 11 kids sitting in my vicinity quiet. Failed miserably. Wished for 8 arms like an octopus. 12:25 Drove bus kids home, decided I need to reevaluate my definition of the word worship 12:55 Arrived home, wondered what's for lunch. Decided on spaghetti 1:30 ate lunch, fed kids, sat down briefly 3:00 remembered we needed to borrow popcorn machine and get drinks for movie at church tonight. Called friend to borrow key to theater to get popcorn machine 3:15 left to get key, texted another friend to tell choir director we would be late. Warned her that I was on the verge of a breakdown so please tell choir director not to yell at me. Got key, popcorn machine, drinks, dropped off bowl of spaghetti for my mom. 4:30 Arrived at church, already 30 minutes late for choir. Set up popcorn machine, iced drinks, picked up miscellaneous stuff on floor from set construction in the room where the movie is to be shown. Felt gratitude that someone else was coming at 5:30 to vacuum and set up chairs. 5:00 went to choir an hour late. 5:40 Left early to drive bus to pick up kids, found out Jason had already left to pick them up. 6:00 Showed movie. After about the 40th time that the kids (all not just mine) got up and went out into hall to get popcorn or a drink or use the bathroom, I moved to sit on the floor and bar the door. 8:15 Cleaned up popcorn and drink cans from floor after movie. Loaded parts of the set that we built onto the bus for play practice tomorrow. Felt gratitude that someone else vacuumed and cleaned the popcorn machine. 8:30 Drove bus kids home. 9:00 Arrived home, fed kids supper. Collapsed in a sobbing, twitching heap. OK not really that last thing.  Subscribe in a reader
