Well, for those of you who don't know, Thomas is the new Elder's Quorum President in our ward here in Indy. What exactly does that mean for me? It means that I have the wonderful task of getting all 5 kids up, ready and to church by 9 am, because Thomas has to be in meetings at 7:15 am. (He actually leaves at 6 am, though, because he has to catch a ride with Trent who has a meeting at 6:15 am.) Now by up and ready I mean, waking up,(which is funny because every other day of the week they are up so darn early), feed them breakfast, do the girls hair,(remember now that I have 4 girls), dress them in nice clothes that match and are appropriate,(I can't believe how hard that is getting to be), shoes found and put on, get the sacrament "keep them busy & quiet bag" together, and get myself presentable!! (I think that's it! There is always something that comes up, though) Did I mention that our building is about 15-20 minutes away from our house? So, my goal is to have everyone heading out to the car at 8:30 am. That way, by the time we load up and drive away we should have plenty of time to get there and get a good seat. (By good seat, I mean a middle bench in the back row. You know, because the redhead usually has to go out a few times.) So anyways, back to my bragging...We Made It!! Not only did we get there on time, we got there early! 8:45 am to be exact. Now, I am not getting my hopes up, because I know that this will probably not happen every week, but it sure is a good start, if I must say so myself!

Dang, good job!! Congrats to Thomas! Did you get put in the nursery like you wanted?
Nope. You know what Thomas is, and I am the Activity Days Leader. There are only 6 girls that are age 8-11, so it will be a small, fun group. 2 of the girls are mine. Tonight is our 1st AD, the girls are way excited because they haven't had it for about 6 months! It'll be lots of fun!
good for you Jamie. Tyler doesn't even have meetings in the morning and we don't make it on time:-(
I am impressed! The million dollar question is how did you end up looking. Sometimes I look down the pew and think how cute my kids are and then look down at my un-ironed dress and feel my pony-tailed hair. Mothers are so giving, huh, even of their presentability :)
