Feeling sad. Feeling Overwhelmed. Feeling inadequate.

 The bake sale that I mentioned in my last post skyrocketed.  I ended up making more than planned last week and this week I have so many orders that I'm stressing just thinking about it.  I had to put a stop to the orders.  If it was  not the kids' spring break, I would have not been able to do this.  I'm glad that I can do my small part...even though it was, honestly, more than I had anticipated and I'm feeling overwhelmed and inadequate to the task. There are three different types of trials that people go through.  One, the kind that they create themselves.  Two, the kind that they experience as a result of the agency of others.  Third, the kind that Heavenly Father gives them to help them grow into who He would like them to become.  Unfortunately, I feel as if the only trials that I have ever experienced have been of the first and second variety.  The "trial of baking too many cinnamon rolls" is a trial of my own making.  Ho...

Another Week Gone

Another week gone!  It's been a long week, to be honest.  Jon can not put any pressure on his foot, therefore, he is trapped in bed or on a chair.  I'm not sure if it's because Jon is not able to help, or what, but it seems as if the kids have been extra whiny.  Perhaps it's been a year of quarantine and they are done with each other, ha ha.  They are looking forward to going back to school next year.  It's been a wonderful year and we have been extremely blessed, but I think the kids need space from one another.  I will always look back on 2020 with great fondness.  It was a wonderful year where I felt that I, personally, increased my spirituality and have come closer to the Savior. My heart is so sad for my friend, Bobbi.  Her husband, Aaron, was diagnosed with Colon Cancer and it seems pretty dire.  He will not be able to work for at least a year and will have to experience at least 6 months of chemotherapy.  I hope and pray that...
