I Miss Church

I do actually make it to Sacrament meeting, but I haven't been to Sunday school or Relief Society in a while. I miss the spiritual boost from studying the gospel with a group of people with different perspectives, and especially from our society of strong, amazing women.

Part of why I've been heading home after the first meeting is Ethan's nap. (He is such a great, happy kid because I refuse to let him miss any sleep. When he does miss a nap, life stops being fun at our house.) The other reason is that John teaches the 4yr olds in Primary. So if I did stay, I'm on my own with a boy who really likes to explore EVERYTHING. You'd think that our ward of young families wouldn't mind him crawling behind chairs and digging into diaper bags, but we have just enough elderly and handicapped to make free roaming impossible. The constant vigilance means I miss out on things even when I stay.

But nursery is only 18 Sundays away. I can't wait!
