sunday migraine

K, so i made the effort today to actually dress everyone for church. and made it in time for Primary. 8:30 sacrament meeting is just too much to ask but hey primary is better than nothing right? so we get there , the kids go happily no more screaming about nursery, happy happy. Pierce is a nightmare. in class he is fine in the hall. so we sit. headache comes on. yay. finally time for relief society (adult womens class) , quiet with lesson. Pierce chooses then to practice yelling, trows fruit snacks, drops cereal someone shared with us, and flirts with the 18 year old behind me while wiggling profusely. whoohoo! why did i come? oh yeah to bring my kids to church and go to class, well after about 10 minutes of mister wiggles, we get up and leave, to sit in the hall for another class. yay! on the way down the hall to the foyer, I find Joy struggling and doing the dead weight drop for her teacher. she was being loud and disruptive hopping around and yelling. fabulous. come along Joy we'll sit in the foyer, and wait. Nah! she chooses the opening hymn time to start clomping around on the tile in her Sunday shoes. the door is still open so i get up to leave and find another hall to sit in and wait for the rest of my family. how much longer? i have no idea. blaring headaches wiggly baby, and loud obnoxious 5year old. Fanfreakingtastic. finally i decide to put them in the car, and then go get the keys from hubby to tell him to round up the others, now tell me, if you put the head in the men's class door. and make eye contact, what do you think that means? i could imagine it means get up and come here, no i actually had to gesture to him to come to me. and then i freaking teared up and said i need the keys, and we are in the car. you get everyone else. i have pierce and Joy. so on the way out i see Joys teacher apologizing for bringing Joy to me. and i admit i know she is a turd. no big deal, and proceed to wait in the car while they track down the bishop to get Peyton's birthday treat. it was a long wait. he was thrilled, i have a major head ache, and finally i get to take off my shoes. i think this calls for a nap. i am not a fan of sundays!

I'm sorry you had a rough Sunday.
If it makes you feel any better, it's my anniversary and we had no money to do anything, and it's a good thing, because I have a migrane as well...blah.

So sorry about your day! I hope you feel better soon :)

Melissa said...

I have complete empathy for you. I ask myself all the time as I'm sitting in the hall or mothers lounge "why do I even bother?". And as for the headache... I always get a sunday headache too. I think it's all the stress of trying to get to church with everyone and then trying to keep them under control. Forget about me learning or hearing anything. I hope you feel better.

So sorry! I know it's hard. I went through it, and alone, too. You will be blessed -really! Even when you wonder why you bothered to come. I had a major headache today, too, probably because I'm already stressing about having to speak next Sunday....YES! You heard me right... SPEAK!!! Don't they know I don't DO that?? I will play the piano every Sunday for everyone and anyone's solos/duets/whatever, but I don't speak. MAJOR STRESS!!

I hear ya sista' our meetings start at 1:oo pm so I am in the same boat! I relate to your situation!!! And I picture the day I can get through a SUnday again with out a migrain. It is a weekly thing around here... A Sunday weekly thing!

I hear ya! Today we were actually going to be on time-which doesn't happen a lot and we have 3:00 church, but then Jackson started to complain that he was tired. He had a fever, so we had to tag team so that I could teach my nursery lesson. We went back and forth a few times. Not fun, but now he's feeling better.

Katie said...

Gag! I hate Sundays like that! Why can't everyone just go to class and stay in class happy so mom can just go sit and have some kid free time?!!! Well, I guess you still have Pierce, but as long as you know that's who you've got til he's 18 months it's not that bad. Throw in another kid who should be in class...well, then Sunday just sucks. Sorry you had a crappy time at church. It's better to go no matter how miserable it can be. Hope your day got better when you got home!!!

Sundays are hard. I'm sorry you're day was hard. Sundays used to be my favorite, but now we both have more time consuming callings, Joel's gone basically all day, it takes FOREVER to get ready for church & church is at 1pm ... not good for hungry, tired kids. anyways, don't mean to vent, but just trying to say i understand your frustrations.

Jamie said...

I agree, not a great day:( I often wonder why I go. I never get anything out a single meeting unless I am teaching it and someone else has my 1 year olds.

Andrea said...

ugh! sundays are rough! i agree! we have 1:30 church and still can't get there on time, we usually show up around 2:30 in time for primary. and yesterday my car battery died, ben charged it and it was working this morning, then he left to go hunting. of course, when i went to leave 4 church at 2:25 it wouldn't start. and Ashley has a talk in primary and i'm teaching in my primary class! yikes! i called my mom and asked her to drop us off at church (all 5 of us squeezed into her little car) and she also picked us up afterwards. LOVE MY MOM!!! Anson runs around the chapel during sacrament mtg, so we don't like to go. can't wait for our time change in jan. i think we switch to 8:30am. OH MY GOSH how are we going to make that??

hope your headache goes away! have a good week!!

Our block starts at 2! 2. Either my twins have skipped their nap and are demons, or they've been woken up and are so not happy. Plus, my husband works every other Sunday, which leaves more than my share of Sundays like yours.........but, January is just around the corner and we move to 9 am. Hooray!
