"Sunday, bloody Sunday"
It's the only song I could think of with Sunday in the lyrics. Feel free to send me other examples.
We had a nice, mellow day today. Currently in the process of trying to find the right parish for ourselves -- "Church shopping", I guess. Only, we already know we're Catholic -- there are just a lot of "worship styles" to choose from here in Calgary. Today, we went to Holy Spirit CC. It's your average parish -- nice homily, three people singing in the music ministry a little out of pitch, a lot of families & the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
We sat in the cry room -- bad choice. Cry rooms are almost a license to let toddlers run amok. Seriously, we were surrounded by kids banging on windows & doors, chewing on other kids' random toys and screaming. My thinking is that the cry room is a good place to try and teach our kids (kid) how to behave in the general population...he might get a little loud, but the room allows us to show him that even if he throws a fit, we're not leaving. Or it's a good place to pass the kid a few cheerios without fear of him throwing them all over a pew (which he does). The Parish seemed nice, but it was hard to tell from our own little insane asylum. You, personally (if you care at all), might be thinking that a cry room would be nice in your parish or Church -- but you might share my thinking that it'd be nice if everyone's kids were like yours (regardless of their behavior pattern). I, personally, don't want to spend the Consecration asking a random three-year-old not to hit a random one-year-old over the head with a chew toy (it was Buck's chew toy, so I felt semi-responsible).
There were a lot of very friendly people & ministry sign-up booths. RKZ says that we have to hit every near-by parish at least twice before we can make an honest judgement.
Aside from our cry-room experience, we spent the day watching the Broncos lose to the Rams. Freekin' Jake Plummer. He's the worst. RKZ would totally defend the Bronco QB right now -- but I'm all for bringing on Jake Cutler.
It just occurred to me that there are people who will not be interested in anything I've said in this blog. Tune in tomorrow!
Lastly, we had our CSG over for dinner. He's the best. RKZ made a yummy roast & Buck basically went down to bed (a little too early, I must admit, since I am the sleep Nazi). Now, the 'battle of the Mannings' is being raged in the living room.
Hope you had a great weekend!!

RKZ: I feel your pain. I'm wearing black today. We are back to a swimming school for now.
Remember you were raised with the "rams".
love you both,
