It's hard to write this supposed amusing entry coming down from the fact that he just threw a light bulb acoss the playroom and it smashed all over everything.... However, with all the stress of dealing with Dad in the home, we haven't shared a lot of stories lately, so here goes....
Yesterday in church Sam asked me "how much longer". I was already stressed. Noah wasn't feeling well and was snoring loudly and putting my arm to sleep. well, actually beyond sleep- I was in pain.... I said, "Two more songs. Sam"
"Just two?"
"Well, two more out of the book. Two more out of here. not the little songs"
I must've confused him. There was a laul in the service, and Sam yells "Hey Pastor! How much longer?!"
It was worse then when Matt said "I hate Jesus" on Christmas Eve. Matt wasn't even 2 yet. Sam is 4 and a half. The congregation chuckled. I covered my face and kinda laughed although I think it was more shaking of pure humiliation. Tears sprung forth from my eyes like water guns. I took a breath. My arm really hurt. two more songs... two more songs....
When the last verse of the last hymn was sung and the music had subsided. We paused for a moment of silence. I always say a quick prayer then to get me through the week in one piece and out of the mental asylum. The Pastor was walking down the isle and stopped at our pew. In a loud stage whisper, he said, "Hey Sammy. We're done."
I said another prayer.

Re: Matt on Christmas Eve. We used to have our children's program on Christmas Eve like at 7pm. He knew that after "Jesus' Birthday Party" we got to go to Gramma and Pappy's and open presents. Maybe he was two going on three. I will have to ask Mom. Anyway, it was taking too long. and he yelled I hate Jesus. We were in the back pew and no one but our pew heard him. i was horrified and handed him to my sister Sara who handed him to our neighbor and he got tossed to the end and taken out in the vesatbule immediately.
