Hello faithful few! Sorry to have skipped yesterday. I'd like to say we were super busy and I had no time . . . but it was just the opposite. We were super LAZY! ;o) Pajama day at my house. In fact Daddy Lion had to take Little Lion out of pj's to bathe him and put him in new pj's before Lolly and Pop came over for dinner.
We had a great time with Lolly, Pop, and Tia (my sister). After dinner and brownies (thanks again Lolly) we played CLUE ~ my all time favorite board game! Little Lion was very cute taking his turn going in "rooms" and "suspecting". He really didn't play, but he sure felt like he was. He even had a piece of paper that he was marking all his evidence down on. I'm sure he felt really BIG last night! That's my excuse for not blogging last night.
Okay, now to explain my title. I need some advice on what you would do. I've mentioned that we are starting a new MOPS group at our church this fall. Well, I attend a group now and know how they run their meetings obviously. However, each MOPS group is allowed to structure their meetings how it best fits that particular group of moms. So out of curiosity I have contacted the leader of the neighboring town's group and planned on visiting their MOPS.
What's the problem? Little Lion brought home papers today from pre-school informing me his Easter egg hunt is next Tuesday - same day as this MOPS meeting! ;o( What's a mom to do!?! I don't want to miss my sweet boy picking up eggs with his friends. But I've already made arrangements to visit this MOPS! OH ME!!! (I realize there are bigger problems in life like who to vote for and how to keep the earth clean, but this is just what's heavy on my heart right now!)
SO mommies everywhere ( I know you are reading my blog, please leave a comment) what would you do?

Knowing your heart and how vested you are in this tiny little project you are about to embark on, I understand why this is such an issue for you! In my ever so humble opinion......the Little Lion needs you. My reasons: this is what MOPS is all about, great moms growing great kids. This next year there will be times when you "have" to miss events due to your position, so do not start too early changing the lions den plans/needs. I know it is great to see meetings from other perspectives but you are going to have amazing women working to make your MOPS group just exactly what the Lord has for the group of moms that you will be serving. MOPS is only for a season, your den is forever, and you are the only Mommy Lion there is for your little Den!! Love you! Hazel
ReplyDeleteYou face a dilema that will only get worse from my experience. When you have both of of little pride involved in seperate sport/school activities, in different places ou and Daddy Lion will have to split up or if possible attend the "Dress rehearsal" at times. (I know that this doesn't pertain to the eminate egg hunt,but) I agree with Hazel. Lots and lots of opportunites for meetings of many different types in the years ahead, only one chance to see 4 year old "Little Lion" in his preschool egg hunt.
ReplyDeleteWe love you and will continue to pray that all works out.

Mommy Lion,
ReplyDeleteWow, what's a girl to do? I can't answer that for you, only you can. Just pray about it and do what you feel you should do. And, no matter what, whichever you go to, do NOT feel guilty about choosing one and not the other.
We mom's put way too much guilt on ourselves. Just remember you are a great mom!!!!

I was going to come to the rescue and offer to go for you... but I have BSF that morning. Rats. Maybe we could send another representative?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe you could go to the other MOPS meeting next time?
I agree with the choose another time to go to visit the other mops group!! You can do it, there will be so many other things you have to choose, right now, choose him.
