We have 8:30 church and I’m still trying to figure out how to get a 3 month old, a toddler(almost 21 months), two older kids(15 and 12) and myself out the door in time. (my husband can take care of himself!) I have come to the conclusion that I must shower the night before, and wake up at least by 6 am. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. How do people do it with more than 2 little kids!!!!!

we have 9am church. And even though I have all clothes set out the night before, all lessons packed and the diaper bag packed… we’re still late. This Sunday’s goal: leave house by 8:30a. Church is 5 minutes away.

Proud to say that when we plan to leave at 11:10am that we get there on time for 11:30am. And for the past two weeks I haven’t eaten breakfast on the way. Three cheers for me.

Funny Story: just last SUnday Milly started doing ballet in the isles and when I took her out for the second time she started screaming “DANCE IN SACRAMENT”,
“DANCE IN SACRAMENT”!!!! Who’s kid is she???

Since my husband, Ross, is the van/bus driver for our church, we are ALWAYS at church early (we’re talking 30-45 minutes, here)!!!! We are, also, always the last ones to leave!!! (He must take the riders home!!)

Funny TRUE story: My youngest daughter, Jessica, was about 4 years old and had been really acting out during service. (We are Apostolic Pentecostal, so our church services can be noisy/active which made it really bad that Jessica was being noticed.) My husband finally picked Jessica up and was carrying her out to do some correction. As luck would have it, everything got really quiet for a few seconds, just long enough for a certain 4 yr old, to loudly (mid-sob) say, “Ya’ll pray for me!” Needless to say, there were many snickers (including the pastor) as my husband got to the back door. BTW Ross was able to hold his poker face until after he and Jessica came to an understanding about appropriate church behaviour! I’m glad it was him, I was too busy rolling on the pew!

We can’t seem to ever get to church on time, either. I have even tried the secret plan of trying to leave extra early. Still not happening. We were late even we had church at 1:30 pm. I underestimate the time it takes for me to pick an outfit, blow dry my hair, and put on makeup 100% of the time.

Sorry about your mullet. I got my hair cut over the weekend and now I look like David Cassidy during his Partridge Family days. Hooray. I might have to invest in hats.

Sorry for the double post but the above one about MST was mine and I forgot to include my name, as usual. I tell you, computer fields that remember your info are dangerous! It’s so easy to become dependant on them and then you just make idiot mistakes because you think the field has got your back.

I’ve often wondered if MST didn’t stand for Mountain Standart Time or even Mormon Standard Time but Mommy Standard Time. Toddlers and schedules don’t seem to mix too well.

BTW, you mentioned wanting to see pics of my hats. Here’s a few of them: My Ebay Seller’s Page.

Yesterday my my two year old was sick. Dh volunteered to stay home with both boys so I could go fulfill my calling as Junior Primary Chorister. (nice of him, eh? I told him he could fill in for me and he said no way)

Anyway, it was the first time since the birth of my first son that I was able to actually listen in Sacrament meeting. It was weird. And strangley quiet. Nice to listen, but I got bored.

Oy, I’m the dope that said “Hey, nice mullet.” And I said it to tease DYM, because pushing people’s buttons is my preferred hobby, especially at church. I don’t even know what a mullet is.
