Lazy Saturday

So last night was rainy, with lightning and thunder.  You would think that would make for a decent night's rest.  Wrong.  Both hubby and I slept restlessly.  Must have been the way the air was hanging.  We both couldn't seem to cool off no matter how much we cranked the A/C.  I normally sleep pretty warm anyway but last night I slept a little too warm.  Not even the air-filled comfort of our sleep number bed was enough to lure us into dreamland.  So needless to say, when I had to get up this morning to sing at a funeral and attend a cantor workshop, I was less than enthused.

However, as usual, when I got to church and saw the people and started singing and realizing 1) what a unique and wonderful ministry the funeral choir is to our church and 2) what a great group of people we have, all lack of sleep vanished and nobody knew the difference.  And I think my cup of coffee (though decaf) helped a little as well. 

The cantor's workshop was fun.  Basically I get to learn to play an entirely different mass setting (which I better start practicing soon because I'll be using it soon!), and a whole new set of Psalms.  I will have to sing them too, but once I can play them, I can sing them.  So that's the news in church-land.

Afterward, I grabbed a quick bite to eat, then came home only to greet my children briefly before they went down for their naps.  That was around 1:30.  It is now 5:30 and it is still quiet upstairs.  Could they both be going through growth spurts at the same time?  At ages 1 1/2 and 3 1/2, I suppose it is possible.  But I think I'm going to poke my head in their room soon to make sure they're still breathing.  HA...only about half joking there.  You know how mothers can worry. 

Greg is over at the neighbors helping her fix an electrical box which had a small fire and basically fried the components.  I expect that once I wake the kids, we will go for a walk or something while Greg works, then it will be time to start night time routines.  It has been nice to have this time to myself this afternoon, but now it's time to go be a mommy.  Good night, blog-land.
