Im posting for Brooke, cause she is in the middle of a bet, and cant post till May 3rd. And we know how determined she can be. She wont loose. (isnt this cheating Brooke?)
Well I came in late....no elder wanted to seat me, since I gave them a dirty look and shook my head no. I sat down right in the middle of the hall. All was silent, more silent than normal. I made a surprise visit to the old hall I went to growing up.
I got up after 5 minutes of the talk. I took pics of me flipping of my camera phone. Richie inspired me.
Sat back down. When we prayed I grabbed my kids hand, and said my own prayer. My husband took our son outside, since he was acting up and I do not believe in beating a 2 year old.(plus I like them naughty) Anyway, my husband missed the whole event of passing the godly items. I think he did that since he never knows what I am capable of and thought I may partake this year. Wrong!(respect out of his sweet grandmother)
As it ended is where it gets funny. They gave the special announcement(blah blah blah). Then they said for those who are Baptized we should make all meetings, not just the special ones. I laughed out loud. Mind you my brother on the other side heard me(he has 3 tattoos) and he smiled in pure amazement on how I just don't care. Those I grew up with smiled, because I haven't changed one bit.(plus they are all just as bad as me but they all still go)
Then came the song. As I stood up, a child who acted up during the whole meeting right behind me started kicking my seat. Now, his mother and I are not speaking. Since I bitched her out saying if she comes near my sister god help me for what I would do. So her son really got on my last nerve I turned around gave him a look and got down to his level and said "Knock it Off". Then the baby just cried. Oh so what if I am the spawn of Satan. You would have done it too. I didn't touch him just scared him a little.
I shunned my family I didn't speak to them and walked right passes them all with out a word. That's why I went and i did what i had to do. Next year will be different. Wine may taste real good at that memorial.
