Mr. Mom

With Stephenie in Georgia, that means that I am playing "Mr. Mom" with an interesting twist.

On Saturday night, Mollie started complaining of a stomach ache. She threw up early Sunday morning. I've never been in this situation before but that meant that I couldn't go to church on Sunday. There have been plenty of times when I've had others call me to let me know that they wouldn't be able to sing, teach Sunday school, play the piano, etc. but I've never been the one to have to "call in."

We have a wonderful church family that "covered" for me by leading the choir, leading the congregational singing, and teaching my Sunday school class. Some of our church family also came to pick up Jeremiah and Titus so that they could go to church. I was proud of them. They both wanted to go to church.

The next interesting twist is the fact that now (Sunday evening) Titus has a fever. What's going to happen on Monday morning?!

Ha Ha Ha! Brings back memories of the many times I had to call and say I couldn't play, because one of the kids was sick and Nate was working!

Oh yes! I just remembered last year you all were in Iowa, and I was supposed to play for a service. I think I was the only person in town, and then my kids got sick. Poor Pastor Scott, he was volunteering to have someone come watch my kids. Thankfully, someone came and was able to play, so I didn't have to go. Fun Times!
