It's Saturday yet once more and I'm not in bed sound asleep.  My husband pastors a small Baptist Church about an 1 1/2 away.  Why go that far when there are a bazillion and one churches a stone's throw from us - several even in walking distance... all I can say is this is where God lead us.  Hence, this where we shall stay until God says otherwise.  Anyway, due to the distance we have to get up much earlier than normal.  I try not to schedule anything for Saturdays because it literally takes the entire day to get ready for church on Sunday. 

Week after week it's the same saga... I'm up late at night trying to finish getting everything ready to get to church.  I'm one of the church musicians (obviously they were desparate).  Unfortunately, with all the other stuff going on in my life it doesn't occur to me to practice what I'm going to play for Sunday until Saturday evening.  I procrastinate and as the old folks say "piddle around the house" all day.  The next thing I know the day is gone and the evening has come.  It is at that point that it dawns on me all the stuff I failed to do throughout the week that now has to be done in order to get the church.  Once again, my gorgeous hunk of a husband is in the bedroom ALONE!!!!!!!  His wife is in the great room practicing, in the laundry room, at the computer trying to put together something or another I was asked to bring to church, trying to list a few more things on eBay, checking my way-too-many emails, last minute phone calls to new homeschoolers requesting help with this or that or just want general info on homeschooling, ... I could go on and on with miscellaneous whatnots.  Most of this stuff could have/should have been done during the week, but I was busy doing the other weekly miscellaneous whatnots.

Just seems to me that I would have learned by now that I MUST spread it out over the week.  I cannot procrastinate!!!  I need to get up EARLY and stay focused.  So, when the evening comes I can be by my hunk's side.  Whether he's watching TV, working on his laptop, doing a crossword puzzle, or he's sound asleep, it is my desire to be right there with him treasuring every moment.
