Falling Behind... days 7 and 8...

Here is Sarah and Lilah on Saturday evening... the story behind this cute little gingerbread bunny house is this: On Saturday morning I have music practice at my church... This is not the best day for me, as Saturday is the one day of the week when we aren't rushing around trying to get out of the house, and also because I can go out to do errands alone or with one of my babies alone... so that we can spend mommy time together. Its a long story of how it got changed, but I agreed to it, because it was better for everone else, and I thought that it was selfish and unfair of me to insist upon my way or no way... so I requested a compromise. 9 AM instead of 1030 AM, that way I can get done with practice by 1030, and get out to my shopping and home by 1-ish... well, they agreed after complaining about it being saturday and they want to sleep in... blah blah... fast forward to this week. Now "they" (no names...) don't bother to show up until 945!!! (Its just too hard to wake up early on Saturday, plus we have to leave our house way earlier than anyone else... even if its just by 5 minutes, it makes a difference) and we practice until almost 1130, and guess what? Its too late for me and Sarah (She came with me, and left us alone, as agreed, so that we could get done faster with no interrupting) to go to the dollar store together. I HAD to go to Michael's craft store, because I needed some cake decorating supplies to make cupcakes for the next day, and while we were there I compensated for my guilt for not going to the dollar store even though I was exhausted, and other people's selfishness and bought this cool gingerbread decorating kit... it was so much fun for the girls to do, and we took it to church potluck on sunday to show it off. I warned people not to eat it though, since they licked the knives and their hands every single time it touched the yummy frosting. Just a question... will I be unreasonable to inform the group that I MUST leave at 1030 on saturdays, whether or not we're done? I have things I need to do that can't run into the afternoon. Saturday is my resting day, and I feel as though I've made adjustments for them that are hard for me. Should I expect them to do the same?








I missed taking Simon's picture on saturday. It was a crazy day, but here he is yesterday. And the Girlies too. I always notice that its Sarah and Lilah together, and Simon all alone. Poor Boy. He needs a playmate...
