Easy Like Sunday Morning

I hate, Hate, HATE our Sunday schedule this year.

I hate that we don't have church until 1:00.

In my younger (read "childless") years 1:00 church was no big deal.

Sleep in, lay in bed for a while, get up, make leisurely breakfast, read a magazine or watch some mindless TV, take shower, get dressed, go to church, receive spiritual edification, go home, lament the impending Monday blues, go to bed.

These days my kids are up at the crack of dawn and the day struggles along until church at 1:00. And why is it any other day of the week 1:00 comes so quickly? On Sundays my kids are bored, cooped up, and irritable. Oh wait, that's me.

At least we don't have church at 2 or 3... then I would really have to look into Protestantism.

I agree, our 1:00 schedule is the worst. We do ok in the morning, although surprisingly we have to hurry to get out the door. It is the after church, when everyone is tired, hungry and cranky, that I dread.

DITTO! And you know the whole 3 hour thing.....really makes me want to look into Catholicism. Actually, since I have been to a mass or 10...it is wayyyyy more boring, but oh so much shorter.
