This has been a lousy week. I’ve been sleeping for most of it. I’ve also been running a low grade fever and have had a headache while being comatose. So I’ve got a doctor’s appt for next week to see why I’m dragging.

My mother called me wednesday to inform me that she is no longer going to be a member of our church. She says that she no longer believes in it. And she has started sleeping with her boyfriend. She gave me alot of other exuses that reminded me of some of the things Greyduck said to me when he was trying to justify his new lifestyle choice to me. My brothers and one of my three sisters are already inactive, so she’s not alone. That just leaves me and two of my sisters has currant active members. A good friend of mine who is a hedonist asked me if this would “shake my faith”. I looked at him and told him that my faith wasn’t founded on my parents believing. If it had been, considering the number of amazing spiritual experiences my mother has had, for her to turn around and say that she doesn’t believe it anymore might hurt it. But, it’s not. I feel sad for my mom, and I feel sad for my dad, but according to mom, dad already knew about how she felt. I really wish my dad had clued me in before dying. I do have to wonder though….she pretended to be in love with dad all those years…it does make me wonder what else she pretended.

Not that it matters. Mom has to make her own choices and learn from them. And I can’t say that this is a total shock. Mom and Dad have gone through being inactive and active in the church all my life. Mom is just formalizing it now.

My daughters school also had our first PTA meeting last night. It was horribly small. Usually you can count on a good turn out that first night. Nope…so, we’re going to bribe them with food for the next meeting. As it is, I still don’t have a treasurer for this year. And I’m not really all that happy about being the money person either. Oh well, we all do what we have to.

I have a wedding to dj this weekend, and then choir practice on Sunday. We’ll be starting practice for Christmas here shortly. I’m still not completely sure what we’ll be doing. But one of the other wards in our stake is being moved into our building and I know the choir director for their group. Maybe we can join our choirs for something special.
