Nerdy and Churchy

So.. guess what I did Saturday night?? Watched Star Wars.. the original ones.. fourth and fifth episodes/chapters whatever they're called. LoL! Yes, I got into them and yes, you can laugh and make fun of me.. but you'll have to make fun of Kurt too. =) I felt like a real rebel or something actually choosing to stay up until 11:00pm watching them. It was fun though. =)

Sunday my family came up to go to Mass with us. I was disappointed because the first time since Father Keenan came to our Church in July he had the Deacon give the Homily. Not that the Deacon's Homily's are bad, they aren't. My mom though has been waiting to hear Father Keenan and it' s not often they come up here. Oh well.. always another time. =)
On a Church note - I ended up in the back pretty much the entire time again. Amelia is going through the - I'm going to talk/coo/howl (whatever) very loudly, need to nurse, or cry during Mass. So we end up in the back nursing or swaying the entire time. I did find a good place to Nurse ... It's not disruptive, we can hear everything, somewhat see everything, sway, sit, whatever. The Devotional Chapel! I've been spending the majority of Mass in there lately. Mom's or Dad's come and go, it's very nice because it's quiet and usually whoever is in there is respectful of the others and realizes we want to listen to Mass or we'd be in the closed off section dealing with our children. Well this past weekend, I was kind of cranky and went to the Devotional Chapel to listen to Mass and nurse Amelia. I was kind of upset though because a mom (I haven't seen her much) just kept letting her little boy run and scream all over in there. First off, you should be able to tell when there are candles, kneelers and people who are keeping their children very quiet in there that you shouldn't be letting your kid do that. It just bothered me and she just kept laughing. Maybe I should have said something kindly to her? It's pretty clear that the closed off section is where you can let the little kids run. (Even if it's not intended for that.) I hate to be picky or mean, but I get irritated when others aren't respectful. It's hard enough getting there in one peace and keeping your two year old and four month old happy. Then when you finally find a place that you can still be there in Mass and hear, someone comes and disrupts the entire thing. I realize this happens sometimes, but there is a section if you want to do that. I've been there.. lots of times, but right now I don't have to be. This post isn't meant to be overly critical of people, it can be frustrating though. Lots of things are!

On a lighter note - Mikyla (my sis) asked me to be her Confirmation Sponsor! I'm excited and hopefully I can help her on her Faith Journey.
