I SPOKE TO SOON!!!

*****Skip this if you want a happy post*****

I must say before this weekend, ALL was going well, before this weekend...

I think right after I wrote that last post, the walls came crashing down on me. Kids got out of school early since it was Friday at 1:30 and it has been a LONG weekend. Kids fighting and picking on each other. Not doing their jobs, lying to me, not listening which resulted in threatening, spanking, crying, yelling...I was not a very good mommy this weekend. I thought getting out and going to the park, library, Arctic Circle for ice cream would be a nice change to get us all out of the house. Still, somehow there is WHINING!!! I am done.

If I didn't know and had already arranged to sit by a lady in my ward today I would have skipped out on church today, not kidding! And the last thing I wanted to see on my email today was all the "activities going on in August, just so you are aware" back home (sorry mom, thanks but I won't be attending and I don't need a reminder I don't live by everyone!)

I hate this. I really do.

This was so refreshing to read! Thanks for sharing....no really thank you! I've had a disaster of a day and it is nice to know that someone else out there has the same kind of stuff going on. This was a real life post and I loved it. :)

Hate days like that, and it seems 10 times worse when you have no family or help around. I hope your week is going better!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
