You are up, dressed, fed and out the door and then you get in the car...baby is screaming because she hates the carseat or the sun is in her eyes or the paci dropped or or or ....then there is the 4 year old who because the baby is crying has decided that the buckle is too tight, her finger has a bruise and she probably bit her lip all which require a good cry. Decisions decisions. Your morning which was going pretty well and too which you'd already thanked God and given yourself a little "high five" has now turned to mud. Do you keep going or call it a morning? We kept going and 15 minutes later arrived to church a little less together and looking like I'd been shot with a bit of electricity. Cookie time...WE MADE IT! (Hubby taking his Mom back home from staying the week).
Benefits of making it:
1) Baby in nursery and fed by staff
2) 4 year old in nursery learning about "Jesus teaching us to pray" and having a blast (finger and lip healed immediately)
3) I got to worship! This morning our guest pastor preached on Mark 8...making a personal decision as to who we say Jesus is...
4) Friends and seasoned parents who were amazing with their words of wisdom and support
So my friends, even though I gained 3 more grey hairs for the morning, didn't get to use the potty until I dropped all the kids off to the nursery, and breakfast came in the form of bar...totally worth it. Have a great week everyone!
PS-Don't forget this tip: Prepare for Easter Sunday now! Don't wait, you will HEART yourself for it!
