Time for a New Post

Yesterday was probably my very first day of pregnancy related emotions, that is other than crying during the movie UP. You'd think that since our church meetings start at 3 it would be impossible to be late. Well somehow some of us can still manage. Joseph and I were eating some form of an informal lunch when he looked at the time on the computer screen and asked
"Does Sacrament meeting start at 3 or 3:30?"
"3, why?"
"Uh oh"
"Oh my gosh!"

It was 2:48 and it takes at least 10 minutes to get there. You'd also think that we'd get up in the morning and get ready completely. I had a skirt on but no make-up and I still had to choose a shirt! The first one I put on you could tell I was getting a little pudgy round the middle, so I traded it for one that made me look slightly less so. Joseph was still in basketball shorts and a T-shirt.

You'd also think that since I was supposed to lead the music in Sacrament meeting I'd make extra sure to be on time! When I got there they were already singing the opening hymn. I peeked in and saw our Relief Society Pres leading the music. I waited for Joseph, who was parking the car, in the hall and for his opinion. Should I go in and take over?

He said she had it covered. So we sat in the overflow in the gym and the tears started, not something I would usually cry about. Then I found out that she was also the last speaker on the program, right between 2 songs! Ha ha I was in no shape to be up in front of people so I thanked her after the program. She told me that the same thing happened to her last weekend. She was asked to play the organ for a meeting and was 15 minutes late.

Next Sunday we'll be sure to be on time.

  1. Oh my gosh! We are always late too.. I don't get how we do it. Somehow 6 hours turns into 2 and then yes 10 minutes. At least we know we're in good company :) Thanks for the invite - I will be checking this often - I love blogs :)
