Stahlke Adoption

Double Scheduled

Here was our schedule last Saturday (May 10). I have not included the times for picking up kids after events, which I DO include in my calendar. The entry for May 10 in my calendar was very full and quite difficult to read, so Jonathan and I plotted it out on a big piece of paper.

12:00
Funeral at our church for a young mother, which was very sad on the day before Mother's Day. I was asked to be the organist, but had to find a substitute because of our children's performance at Ukrainian school. Due to a communications mixup on our part, I mistakenly received word at 9:45 am that my substitute organist couldn't play the service. So I drove first from the track meet to our home in Forest Park to change clothes, and then to Villa Park for the funeral. At 11:00 am, as the Ukrainian Mother's Day program was beginning, I got word that my substitute organist could play all along and would arrive in plenty of time for the funeral. So I hopped in the car and immediately drove to Ukrainian Village, slipping into my chair at 11:30. You should have seen the looks of relief on my children's faces! And at 11:35, the first of my kids got up on stage. Thank you, God, for getting me there on time!

Last year at this time, I prayed for rain. This year I went to Office Max and bought my first calendar with a WHOLE DAY on each page. Did I ask the price of the calendar? No!
