A True Puzzlement

This morning I received an e-mail from our choral director at church wondering if Mom and I would mind giving up our 10am mass next weekend. Due to a scheduling error, two people got scheduled, so knowing that we are usually pretty passive people, I think she asked us knowing we'd say, "Sure." Well, not this time!

The weekend in question is Mom and my "Pro-Life" weekend. We do the music for these masses (all 3) every year...we even have specific songs that we do that relate to the topic. I wasn't able to do the masses last year (because I was in the hospital with Ethan) and no one else wanted to do them, either. They were all going out of town, had plans, a wedding, etc. So my mom actually had to talk to our priest about his sister from Fairbuilt coming up and doing the masses. She did, and they both did a fantastic job. Plus, I am always willing to fill in for someone if they need a sub, or switch with someone if they have a conflict. When they say jump, I say how high...So, is it wrong of me to not want to give up our masses? I don't think so, but evidently, though, it must be. I e-mailed our director with many of the points listed above, and got a rather sarcastic e-mail in reply (I will admit, mine may have come off as a tad sarcastic, but I'm pregnant, so...). She said all she was trying to do was keep the peace and that we will leave it as is this time. What does that mean? Leave the schedule as is or leave the issue as is with Mom and I doing all the masses? I don't understand, so I had to e-mail her AGAIN! I just know she's gonna have issue with Mom and me for awhile, but whatever. I had to speak my mind and try to fight for what I believe is fair and right. I guess it's her decision whether she wants to work with me or anger the pregnancy beast within...
