I.Am.Tired

I wonder if I could legally change my name to that, like some famous pop star. That way everyone wouldn't have to ask me how I am, because let's face it--I AM TIRED. I think it is a disease you catch when you have your first baby. I am still looking for a cure. Chocolate helps. So do long, hot baths. And massages. And days off. Of course, I can usually only get my hands on chocolate. Everything...

did you think to pray?

I did, but as I was praying for my precious children, I heard one of them screeching at the other one followed by some violent sounding noises. Does this mean I should stop praying and go intervene? Should I pray for divine intervention? Or is this the Lord's way of saying, "Seriously? You think you have 5 minutes for spiritual communion? Get real and get to work, girl!" I just don't know!...

a project

So, I have been asked to teach a class at our stake rs conference in May. I am teaching "Today while the sun shines". Other than being a slightly annoying song, the theme is supposed to be things we can do to prepare while we have time. So, I came up with this:Five things we can do each day:T: Talk to Heavenly Father--prayO: Add some OIL to your lamp by doing scripture studyD: DO something for...

Spring Break is Over!

Of course, I celebrated by waking up with a migraine! It was nice to have some quiet. We had a big snowstorm last weekend. Ellie came in on Saturday morning, and said "Is anyone else in shocking surprise, besides me?" It was very cold, though, and not much fun to play in. It is almost all melted and I finally hung up my Easter wrea...

Every Grouchy Inch!

It was Halloween. It was neither dark nor stormy. I, however, was both. After a day of crazy running around to soccer games, laundry, errands, and trying to get to the ward Trunk or Treat on time, I was GROUCHY. My hubby came over during a lull in the insanity (otherwise known as trunk or treat) and asked me how I was. I think I grimaced at him--he told me I was beautiful. (Does he actually believe...

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Can't believe that I have another soon to be driver! Rachel turned 15 today! I can't believe how old that makes me feel. But we are blessed to have such a beautiful, amazing, smart, athletic, good, funny, and talented daughter! And yes, when she starts dating in a year, I will be there cleaning my...

Another consideration for my mother of the year nomination...

Yes, I know some of you are shocked, but I definitely don't fall in the mother of the year category :). Mostly because I am a lunatic. Here is yet another example of why I won't be making the nominations list.Last night I was at the KFC drive thru with the little ones. Vaughn was night flying and Andy and Rachel went to Tulsa for some away games. We waited an inordinately long time for the lady in...

It's already March!

And my last post was in February! Yikes! However, I am on here more frequently, which was the whole point of making a resolution to try to blog daily. Nothing earth-shaking to share, only that I went down to the temple in OKC today. I also managed to drop in to Target! My favorite store in the whole world! So there you go: the eternal and the purely temporal all in one sh...
