Gotta Love my Pastor

I am not even joking when I say that on Friday I drag my twin 4 year old boys to our staff meeting at 9 a.m. Our staff couldn't agree on a time so once again I gave in and said I could do Friday mornings if I could bring my kids. It's been frustrating for me and also quite commical. I think my Pastor is getting a little tired of them running around because he came in my office last week and asked what days would work for a staff meeting better for me. I told him next year the boys would be at school on M-W-F so any of those days work. Yeah I could have found someone to watch them for an hour or two but really...could no one else juggled their schedule so I could have met on a day when I didn't have them.

So I must tell you this story...you'll love it:

I was making dinner the day before last when I got a text from a girl that texts me all the time with little piddly things. It went like this:
Youth: What is a creed. I am really confused...
Me: (knowing she was working on make up Confirmation work says): I think you should contact your sponsor.
Youth: Do you have (name of sponsor's) number?
Me: (getting frustrated) Do you have a phone book? I am in the middle of something?
Youth: oh yeah :) thanks

Are you kidding me? I'm sorry you don't know what a creed is! Seriously this is one of the kids that doesn't go to Mass but is getting Confirmed? And you want me to text you information on the creed? Then you want me to look up your own sponsors telephone number for you?????!!!!! I did later call and leave a message for the sponsor and just said look I refered youth back to you...this may be a great opportunity for you to bond with Youth.

I love my job I really do! But when stuff like this happens...I'm thinking are you kidding me? I even looked at my cell phone to see if there was a way to block her texts (there wasn't) because she is really driving me crazy with piddly stuff that she should really be doing on her own. Look up a phone number is not in my Job Description. Not that most of the things that I do are.
