Slip of the Day

We are preparing for our opening for Faith Formation, tomorrow, scrambling to put things together, making last-minute changes as we juggle teachers and students and classrooms...oh my!

So I went down the list calling all the teachers as a reminder, to answer any last-minute questions, and provide some pertinent information. And of course, in the course of these conversations, other issues arose that need to be addressed, some very pressing.

As a result, it wasn't long before I was even more frazzled, and you all know that when one is frazzled, the tongue tends to slip a bit. In fact, I was actually experiencing the beginning pangs of panic.

In speaking to one catechist, I meant to tell her she could come in early if she felt like she needed to set up a bit. What I actually said was this:

"And if you'd like, you can come in early if you want to get upset."

Oh, dear.
