Where Has The Week Gone?

It is Thursday, I thought yesterday was Monday but somehow yesterday was Wednesday. Which I almost forgot, but then remembered because one of my Young Women asked me to come get her. This was monumental! No it was bigger than that. Because ever since I was put in as 1st counselor in the Young Women I have told my darling Mia Maids that I love them I want them there but I will not come and kidnap them from them homes. A technique that the leader before me did often. She would just show up randomly and drag them to Young Women's. They all cheered that I would not employ this technique and promptly quit coming.

My numbers dropped the counselor over me asked if I was doing the right thing, the YW President asked if I was doing the right thing the Bishop asked if I was doing the right thing and on and on.

Then on Sunday one of them asked me to come get her. My heart cheered, my heart danced, and I finally felt I had done the right thing. Hey, it only took about 7 months to feel like I was doing the right thing. Not only that but all of my girls showed up. Ok, when I say all you should know I only have two. I bet you think that is pretty weird for Utah.

It was an awesome night and by the time I dropped my beautiful girls at their homes we were laughing and had a very fun night. They are awesome girls, (have you noticed how much I use that word)I know that the war was not won last night but I think it was a major victory. I was even asked to come and get them again next week. Picture in your mind if you will me doing a little happy dance.

Which brings me back to the fact that somehow I have lost almost a full week. Well it turns out that I am grounded today. I know this because my laundry told me so. So you will probably hear from me again today. Mainly because I have been tagged? What is this tagged business? Guess I will have to figure it out. But I have all day after work to figure it out. I'm out of here on my way to play in the water.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter. I can hardly believe that it says 30 days. I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter. Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked. That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock. I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me. By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know." I wanted them to see that I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...
