Done!!!!

I had to document this so one day I could go back and read it and actually laugh about it. I'm so done with being pregnant. Yesterday pretty much sealed the deal! Anna came down with a pretty high fever and wasn't able to go to church. Since I will soon be missing about a month of church (due to a new baby and RSV season) Rob and I both agreed that I should take Sara and go. Sara is on a little bit of a rebellious spree right now. I don't know if she can sense that her world is about to change dramatically or if it is just because I have a lot less patience right now, but she is a little bit more difficult than normal.
We get to Sacrament Meeting and the only available space is close to the front, in a middle bench. I don't think much about it because I have brought a couple of activities for Sara to do. After the Sacrament I gave her the bag full of stuff to do and turned my attention to the speaker. About ten minutes later I hear a little bit of snickering going on behind me. I look over at Sara and she has linked all of the markers together to create a tower. She is holding it up in the air and frantically waving it back and forth for everyone to see. Now, keep in mind that I am nine and a half months pregnant with an extremely big belly. I am trying to get to her to get her hand out of the air, but the big belly will not allow me to lean forward very much. She realizes this and inches further away, waving the markers even faster. I finally am able to reach her hand only to cause the markers to shoot spring loose and shoot all over the floor. At this point the snickering is getting louder. I am mortified, but calmly collect everything and get her to sit down. We continued the rest of the meeting without any other incidents, but I was still pretty upset with the little monkey. We then break for classes and everyone proceeds to tell me how funny that was and how it made their day. I, in return, have to go to the bathroom so I won't cry in front of everyone. I know someday I will look back and laugh, possibly even tomorrow, but right now I have decided that church might not happen again until after the baby is born.

Your sweet one and my Kendal can never be friends - we might have to bail them out of jail if they ever get together! Just kidding!! As a parent, it is mortifying, but she probably did make everyone's day a little bit brighter!!
