Greetings blog fans. Big denominational committee meeting for me today so the round-up will come in bits and pieces. Please use the comments to share what is going on in your world - don't be shy - and if you are looking for a break from Holy Week prep by all means give those folks in the comments a look.
Until I return, here is a question to discuss amongst yourselves: How come whenever my 14 month old actually sleeps in a little bit the phone rings early in the morning. No really... every. time.
-----------------------------------------
And now - finally - we round up:
micah girl blogs on being radiant and contentment.

To answer Will Smama's question:
ReplyDeletefor the same reason why when someone you really want to talk with calls, same 14 month old has blown out a diaper/flushed cat down the toilet/eaten delicious buttons.
oh poor you! For us it was MIL 90% of the time. I finally told her :) lol!
ReplyDeleteI am of the firm opinion that toddlers who sleep in are solely a literary consturction devised to give parents false hope.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, our phone almost never rings early in the morning -- but on Saturday I am being picked up for a meeting at the insanely early hour of 7:30! I am usually up then butno where near ready to go out in public.
Sleeping toddlers send subliminal messages into the atmosphere causing unsuspecting folk to need to call the parents, just to make sure the said parents don't get too used to peace and quiet...for it will be disturbed!
ReplyDeleteAs for Holy week, how is this for sneaky...I am on holiday, we are going to Spring Harvest, a huge Christian festival here in the UK from Maunday Thursdat right across the weekend to Tuesday!!! I do not have to preach or think about liturgy or hymns cos someone else will be doing all that for me! Yay...
Sorry to gloat folks...
