The Unexpected…

Posted on Sunday, March 8, 2009 in Family

It was an unexpected day in our household. As most people know, things usually do not go to plan:)  The morning started off great. Thinking “wow” the girls got up early. Then decided we could make it to early mass and start off the day on the right foot. Got the girls showered and ready and though now my turn! Got finish getting ready when my hubby told me we would  not make it on time. What?? I am ahead of schedule, but not ahead of daylights savings time. Totally forgot to set the clocks ahead. So decided to go to a different time at a different church then usual. What was I thinking? I guess I was not.

The girls thought it was then a great day to chat non-stop with one saying “Are we done yet”, “I want to go home”  as loud as she could all through mass. After each song was sung she would ask “we done?”  Then the hubby, who thinks he can whisper but can’t, is trying to tell the girls to be quite or trying to bribe them to get them to be quite. Yet he was being just as talkative. Do we not understand the concepts or reflection and prayer. I guess not today. Thank the good Lord, for being so understanding.

The readings and homily today where about change and how we need to embrace change. The priest spoke about how some do not want change, or say  ”it can not get worst”. Then I caught myself saying it…

As a family we decided to go and have lunch together. Which for the most part was great. The girls settled down so after eating we thought we would go for a drive. Check out some new cars, which was not good as the hubby found one he wanted. As we talked about heading home, one of the girls stated “my tummy hurts”. I turned around and said it will be okay we are heading home.  She kept saying my tummy hurts, and all of the sudden when I turned around i saw her vomiting with our home nowhere in sight.  Another offering for the day.

Now as I set here reflecting on the day and remember how much it is a blessing and a joy to have a family. Just another Fabulous day in Mama J’s history books:)

Thank you God!
