☀hold your dress

Oh yes... I almost forgot that I promised a funny story.

You may be familiar with Barett's new Bishop shoplifting story

well, I think my Bishop's Wife story trumps his...

you be the judge.

A few Sunday's ago, I got ready for church

and rushed the girls out the door {which I've been trying to be better about}

We walked right into the chapel, slightly late,

in this case I would call it "not so fashionably late". With emphasis on the

not so fashionable part. We sat down and were there for a while,

when Hazel just couldn't stand it anymore, she was fussing...

and started rolling on the floor. So I grabbed her and then crouching down

in isle whispered to Maren that she needed to sit nicely while I took Hazel out.

While I was doing this the former Bishop leaned over toward Maren as I was

getting up to leave. I thought he was lending Maren a hand, but it turned out

he was trying to motion something to me.

I was out in the foyer for a little while and then saw Sis. Lewis

she came right over to me with big eyes and a smile, and her cute baby and said...

"hold your dress"

I looked down and with horror on my face, held the the bottom of my dress

while she zipped it up. {we both had one arm, since the other was occupied with a child}

Oh my goodness, I walked to church, sat in church, bent over to talk to Maren and stood in the foyer all with my dress wide open on the side.

Completely unzipped.

I wanted to cry. How did I not zip the side of my dress up, how did I not feel a draft on the way to church? I told her that it would probably be funny in a week.
Well, it is now funny and when I see her I point out that I am fully dressed.

I have no idea how many people witnessed this occasion...

and I do not wish to know.
