It was our ward conference on sunday. Kevin had to go to another ward's ward conference. They were both at the same time. I kept assuring him that I could take all the kids to our church and that I would be fine. Well, Let me just say I am so glad that he persisted with his plan and took Lucy with him. Because in my head I saw it that it would be fine. I would sit on a bench with the three kids and Tayson would sit in his car seat.
Let's just say the 11:00 church time sneaks up on you. We were scrambling to get everyone ready and I wanted to be on time so I got a bench ( i think bench seats are easier to trap the kids in, than the seats in the back) well we forgot that we only have one car and two places to be. (our Hyundai is still getting fixed) So Kevin dropped us off at our building and ran to the stake center.
Everything was going good and I love having the children on both sides of me at church. Than Tayson started crying and in all the hustle of getting to church I realized I wanted to feed him one last time before church. I couldn't calm him down, I thought if only I could hold him off till sacrament was over, but Tays was not having it.
So I asked Cole are you ok to sit here by yourself while I take Dailey with me and go feed Tayson. He said he would be fine. I was worried to leave him but felt like I had no choice. If I had a car I probably would have taken everyone home but instead I took Dailey into the mother's lounge with me.
I fed Tayson and than of course Dailey had to go to the bathroom and so we ran to do that. We start to walk back into the chapel and I see Cole sitting there and I watch him jump up and run to the door where we were with tears streaming down his face.
I quickly grabbed him and closed the doors. We went out into the foyer and he said, "mom, I didn't think you were coming back" Oh man It totally broke my heart!!! My poor little guy sat alone and did so good until it seemed like forever to him. Oh I hugged him so tight and tried to fight back my tears as well.
I was in and out of Sunday school and RS. Tayson's tummy was upset and wow did he let everyone in Relief Society know it, especially when it was silent as he filled up his diaper for all to hear.
Man I was so glad Kevin took Lucy. Sometimes I like to think I can do it all but I know I can't!
It was a rough sunday even just with three kids instead of the four. Ha ha. but it was good too. I got some really good things out of church, I came home and made my kids watch Called to Serve, they talked about preparing our kids for missions. I know we are a long way from Cole serving a mission but I thought it would be fun to show him. That movie is old. ha ha. maybe they should update it!
