This morning. Before Sacrament.I said the opening prayer today.
It was a horrible meeting.
The speakers were great, the musical numbers incredible, and I didn't hear a word.
I was far too busy:
- watching Grace climb OVER the bench, while Mike "helped" Adam with a word search
- listening to Grace pray LOUDLY during the Sacrament prayer
- watching Adam crawl under the bench to grab a crayon that was rolling away, and HIT his head hard, prompting a few tears
- listening to Grace YELL "Hi, Mommy!" about 50 times.
- watching Grace DUMP out her goldfish
- listening to the sound of Grace DRUMMING on the hymnbooks
- watching Mike finally give up on trying to get her to be quiet/whisper, and WRESTLE her out of the aisle into the foyer
There is no worse seat in the house or place for a mom to be, than one where she have to watch her children be the most irreverent children in the entire building.
And not be able to do a thing about it.
Sigh...
Next time I get a message from the Executive Secretary?
I'm SO not calling back.

I know it may be awful for you to watch...I remember during a Primary Program trying to get Sis. Pulver to stop Doran from picking his nose the entire meeting...but for us old folks, we just love it! Those sweet grandbabies of mine are just being the sweet little kids that they are! Don't worry...and, by the way, Grace looks just adorable! (Oh, and we have a new bishop...Dave Fuller, or Bishop Fuller, I should say.)
Ok that is totally dumb that you have to sit on the stand for a prayer! Never heard of that before just for the fact that parents need to be with their children not sitting on the stand by themselves.
