I think it should be put on record that Alien (How did that pants person manage to produce such a gorgeous daughter?) is an absolutely darling. Mind you, her mum's lovely too. This weekend - perfect timing - a tiny parcel arrived through the post, a smile in an envelope.... I would take a photo of it and post it here if only my camera were working properly. With amazing insight, Alien chose a small gift for us to cheer us up. And guess what it was. A snowstorm fridge magnet (lovely enough just being that) of..... wait for it, wait for it..... Noah's Ark :o)
Smudgelet's story-telling at Sunday School went well. I was forced to go to because he wanted to take my laptop and I wasn't willing for him to walk through the streets to church carrying a laptop over his shoulder. It was hard. I'd had a tough weekend and this was going to be the first time I'd been to church with everybody knowing. I was tearful enough, without being met with loads of sympathy or people not knowing what to say. But it was lovely. I cried through most of the service and with most of the people, but they were so lovely - not too kind, not too sympathetic, knowing precisely when to back off, but there for me. And so many hugs! And nobody edging around me, not knowing what to say, at all! Well, nobody who mattered to me in that way, anyway. How foolish of me to be afraid of my own church family. And how ironic that I'm now feeling resentful that next Sunday is a week away (if I'm not otherwise engaged).
Off now for my son's review. It'll be a long day.
