Small Miracles
So this past Sunday was the first time Michael and Jacob have gone to nursery with no weeping and wailing, and Mark and I went to Gospel Doctrine with no kids. Michael is 3 years next month, so it's been that long since I've had peaceful sunday school and relief society classes. For those of you who aren't in my ward, I got released from the nursery (I really needed to because my kids needed to learn how to go to nursery without me, so I welcomed the release) and I got called to be the Relief Society chorister (jen, stop laughing). For those who know me well, they know that I really have no musical talents. Sure I can direct music okay, but it's really extent of my skills. I don't know how to read music and i don't sing well, so this is a calling that is very uncomfortable for me, but it will be good, I'm sure that there will be plenty I can learn from it. Anyhow, I just hope that the boys can repeat their good nursery behavior next week!

I am so glad to hear you got a peaceful 2 hour block at church!
You would do a better job at the chorister than I would!
Good luck in your new calling. I don't even know how to direct music. I remember I substituted in nursery a lot when Jackson was little and I finally had to tell them I couldn't anymore because he was having such a hard time going when I wasn't there. Unfortunately his hard time lasted for a year!
Okay so I am still trying to stop laughing. Do you practice in the mirror?? Do you hum a little bar so everyone will know what tune to sing in? I am having so much fun with this. Is it bad that your friends comments were all supportive but your sister is laughing butt off?! Guess it's true what they say about being able to pick your friends but not your family :)
I have never said no to a calling... but I might have if they called me to that. I have no musical talents, as much as I admire them in others... I just wasn't born with it. So I feel for you!
As for the nursery thing... we're struggling too. I'm hoping that things will take a turn for the better once we get a new schedule.
HA!! What a fun calling!
don't be offended, I haven't added anyone, because I use google reader and haven't added anyone's blogs to my friends list for months!! I'm thinking of taking it off except for those that are private.
Have fun with your peaceful two hours! Also, good luck with the new calling. I've had plenty of callings that I feel uncomfortable with. When ever I get uncomfortable leading music, someone always reminds me that no one is looking at me anyway. Hopefully that will ease your nerves a tad. lol.
Rachael,
Awsome sight!!! Its obvious that you care for Mark very much. That means alot to me since he was one of my brothers growing up. Your boys are so cute and getting bigger every time I see them. Keep up the great work.
