sunday, sunday

i keep thinking that sundays would get better for me-sometimes it does and other times not so much. the weekend comes around and i just feel overwhelmed(i hate that word) with everything i think needs to happen in primary but i need to change my way of thinking-do the most important stuff first, and whatever else happens will happen. for example, it was my turn to do sharing time today and i had the kids attention as i was telling stories from the scriptures-that was until it was time to sing-of course sila wanted to help hold the pictures at which point i said ok.(i knew better of course) i gently reminded her that she could only hold the picture of the heart if she could stand quietly and not dance around-her response was yes. so long story short, i was teaching a new song to the children while sila was giving high fives to the sunbeams in the front row getting them all fired up and not even the least bit interested in the song-just my energetic and quite entertaining 3(almost 4) yr. old daughter. i immediately took the picture from sila and said i was sorry but she didn't do what i asked her to do and so now she needed to go and sit down. she cried and she cried and her teacher came over to comfort her while i just spoke louder, trying to hide the frustration in my voice-but i think it was pretty obvious-i'll try again next week. it's got to get better, right? but on a brighter note, i can say that heavenly father is merciful and still allows me to have tender moments-even on sundays where i can feel the spirit-i just have to listen.
