Can't I Get A Break?

Why is it that the week I teach preschool, I am asked to start playing the piano in primary again (which involves some much needed review of the songs), Keira's 1st birthday is in 8 days, we are going camping in 8 days AND then the bishop calls and asks me to give a talk on "The Influence of Righteous Women"?

I'm beginning to think that God is up there in Heaven laughing. Not just a little giggle, he's rolling on the ground, holding his sides, tears are streaming down his face and a few snorts have escaped his nose.

(Especially after the saga of the never ending car problems.)

Because really a talk on what? Righteous women? Well this sure isn't going to be a talk full of personal stories!

okay, don't hate me. first thing. It was my idea to have you play the songs. I missed you too much.

And secondly, just talk about me in your talk. Everything will run just smoooothly.

I can't wait!!

and we're gonna partayyyyy til the bears kick us out of the woods when we go camping. that's if I survive.

I feel ya on giving a talk. In a 15 month span I was asked to give 3 talks. All in the same ward, no moving about. When the 3rd time came to give a talk I told the Bishopbric memeber that yes, I would give this 3rd talk, but if they asked me again and I wasn't moving out of the ward, I was going to go inactive. It has been a year since I spoke and we aren't moving anytime soon. I hope that means they listened.

And you know your kids are going to go nuts in sacrament meeting this week just because you're talking about being a righteous woman. :) Sorry about the bum topic.
PS. Perhaps you can hijack a talk from the RS broadcast? Because oh yeah, a righteous woman has to do that too. And if you're in my stake you have to show up 2 hours early! Blahh...
