What I Wore Sunday, Volume 5

Chris was at a retreat this weekend so it was just Ryan and me for the normal Mass party. He also took the car since he had to drive other people to the retreat so my wee one and I started Sunday off with a pleasantly brisk walk. And by brisk I mean a comedic skip-jog-speedwalk that included a late mama with her twenty-five pound baby strapped to her chest who were late! for a very important date (with Jesus)! I was gassed halfway there which is so surprising since I am such a stickler with working out. I also realized that there was a very likely possibility that we would miss the Gospel which would deem all of that effort as worthless. And so I sped up. What a picture I must have been to the girls in Walsh and the boys in Sorin. "Sprint to that tree!" I would mentally command myself and in reality I would shuffle-sprint almost there, stumble and resort to a speed-walk til I shuffle-sprinted again. Training for the shuffle sprint while babywearing 5K in Rio, I guess.

Ten minutes after Mass had started, I held my breath as I pulled open the heavy wooden door and heard a girl's voice reading. Yes!!! Not a priest, which means I didn't miss the Gospel! And then the responsorial psalm started and I was so proud that not only had my speed-walking gotten us there in time for the Gospel, but we even made the first reading. 

Ryan's church activities today include: mooching off a sweet toddler girl's snacks, kissing a different toddler girl,  trying to hug but really tackling that girl, and hanging out with his friend Caleb.  After we randomly walked into my friend from ND, Karlo, who was visiting friends, we walked home at a leisurely pace taking in campus and loving it. Ryan started to get dangerously close to a nap, and early naps are the worst.  I kept him awake by pretending to be a dog and singing Old MacDonald Had a Farm. So if you are a female student passing by and you hear me woof, meow or moo, no worries, I am not calling you a dog, foxy cat or cow...I'm just trying to keep my son awake.
