The Daily Hailey

You know how I often say that Sunday is a day of fun, family, and food? Today, it wasn’t. I mean, there was fun, and family, and food. So I suppose it was. But it felt high stress all day.

The church service went well. Neither Brady or I were up on stage so we actually got to sit beside each other for the first part of the service. Dekker was sleeping, or at least we thought, until another mom went into the back nursery area and said he was talking quite a bit. I checked on him, and he wreaked. So that was over, and I spent the second half of the service in the room while he played.

I think the reason the day felt stressful was because I’m having a bad attitude about the week to come. I will be relatively busy, and the weekend will be especially loaded. Included in next weekends busyness is leading worship. I’m more than happy to do it, but it takes effort, and I felt like it would be too ominous to do during the week. So after lunch and a few rounds of cards, we all chose songs, and my mom and I ran to the church to run music off for everyone involved. Right before our drive to the church, weather hit. WILD snow and wind. I am freezing just thinking about it. It took quite a while to find all the right keys of the music, and to transpose the songs with keys we just didn’t like. We dropped off the music and drove home, just in time to munch down a quick supper and get Brady, Dekker and I back on the road and on our way home before we couldn’t make it. Luckily the highways were clear-ish. Lots of drifts but no real ice to be nervous about.

So we survived. Lots of planning and preparing, and waaay less crocheting than I was hoping to get done, but priorities were chosen and I’m happy that music is taken care of for the moment.

Now onto a week of meetings, practicing, decorating, cleaning, baking, crocheting, shopping, mailing, and everything else under the sun. Good night.
