la di da, la di da, i get up this morning and make myself a bowl of my favorite cereal, raisin bran crunch...
i don't even sit down to partake.
sam's snoozing away after a horrible night of bad breathing. for one reason or another, he's started having these small asthma attacks. he's had them in the past, but it's been quite a while since he's suffered from them.
anywho, i got up with the kids to let him sleep a little longer,
and proceed to take a spoonful here and there while coercing the girls to "get ready".
sabrina begins having flu like symptoms and so it was decided that i should keep her home in case of the swine flu... who knows right?
sam & lulu leave for church, and...
it's FAST SUNDAY!
"oh crap!" i blurted, "i forgot!"
sound all too familiar?
yeah, it happens, and we plan to fast next time, or "make it up another day".
what happened to "saturday is a special day, the day we get ready for sunday"? honestly, i did think about the fact that it was fast sunday last night, but it completely slipped my mind!
and get this, sam oh so hilariously informed me that i even filled out a check for our fast offering and it didn't even click! what kind of a moron (or mormon) am i?
my point is, our family really needs to "spruce up" our spirituality and set some new sunday routines! i feel we've become a bit lax lately with our sunday-ness.
what do you & your family do to prepare for the sabbath and how do you spend your time before & after church?
please comment... it would be great to have some input from you!
i'm sure others would love to read them too!

Hm, not sure. Maybe when you know something special or different is happening, write it on the family's calender! It's the only way I can keep my life in order.
