Valentine's Day

I didn't do as much as I usually do for Valentine's Day with the kids.  I usually get them little trinkets...which I didn't do.  I did make them the traditional heart-shaped rice krispy treats.  I was planning on making heart-shaped pancakes...but I started making them a little later than normal and I was running out of time.  So they got normal pancakes with sprinkles and ate them on heart-shaped plates.  It worked and it was good enough for them.





I volunteered at the Elementary School today.  It was nice.  The kids were all hyper because of the Valentine's Day shenanigans.

For lunch today, William decided to use the straw from his Juice Box to skewer his apples and peanut butter sandwich.  He was so happy about this!


After lunch, I received 2 phone calls from the school.  The first one was informing that there was a river on the streets adjacent to the school so the kids were not allowed to cross the street.

It gets like this every time it rains!  So ridiculous!



The second phone call from the school came from the school nurse, asking me to pick up Bryce because he puked!  All over his classroom!  I thought that it was because he had eaten too many sweets...but then he puked 4 more times and has just been resting.  So he may actually have the stomach flu.  I'm praying that no one else gets it!

Grandpa Turley and Lisa gave the kids a few games for Valentine's Day!  The pieces were all over the floor within minutes.



Jon had to work tonight.  So with Jon being gone and Bryce having the stomach flu...this Valentine's Dinner sort of flopped.  We didn't open up our sparkling cider.  I made brownies for dessert but we didn't eat them.  I did make our traditional heart-shaped pizza though.  That's a plus.  I came across a really good pizza dough recipe a few months ago and it is a winner.  I can feel confident in my pizza-making skills now.  I can truly say that I make a really delicious homemade pizza!


Well, here's to a long night of puking kids and a William who will NOT go to bed!  It's almost 9:00 and he is still up...I need my alone time in order to rejuvenate each night.  It's really rough when I don't get it.  I miss the days when William would just go to bed easily.  I hope to see those days again sometime soon.

The Last of the Spring Break, 2019 Posts

It's been a long 2 weeks!  It's been so wonderful though and I am really not ready for the kids to go back to school tomorrow.  I love having them home and I love having our freedom and no real responsibilities.  Summer couldn't come soon enough! We found out this week that Grandpa Duncan had a stroke.  We were all so sad.  We all fasted for him and have been praying every day for his recovery.  Even 7-year-old Mason, who has never fasted before, wanted to fast for Grandpa.  He dd so well and I was so proud of him!  We can hardly wait until June when we can visit Nana and Grandpa in person. I didn't realize it, but one of the days this week I did Walmart Pick-up (where I order things on-line and then the worker brings the groceries out to my car) and accidentally ordered A TON of these chocolate eggs!  They truly are the best chocolate egg in the world, so I'm not really complaining...but what in the world are we going to do with the...

Feeling Awful

 I feel awful about something that I did today.  Well, something that I DIDN'T do.  I feel like the worst person in the world.  I feel like horrible.  I was prompted to do something and I ignored the prompting.  It's eating me up. It's short, so I'll explain it here. I went to Relief Society today.  The first time in about three years.  I sat with Jon's Mom.  I noticed a girl sitting in front of me who was sitting alone.  I chatted with her.  I had the thought to sit next to her so she wouldn't have to sit alone, but I didn't feel like I could leave Sandy.  I didn't want to make Sandy feel bad by leaving her so I ignored the prompting.  Then I went and accompanied a song on the piano.  While I was playing I had the thought, again, that I needed to sit next to this girl.  I decided that I would sit next to her on my way back instead of sitting next to Sandy.  However, as I walked back, someone else was sittin...

Thanksgiving Break, 2022

Well, Thanksgiving break of 2022 has come to an end.  It was so nice to be able to spend an entire week at home together with my family.  I finished my ELA class, which was nice.  I also signed up for a Political Science class at AVC next semester and am hoping that those two classes combined will allow me to get my credential renewed.  I really want to work from home.  I really don't like leaving me family.  I would much rather work at home when the kids are at school and then be completely available for them when they are home.  I want to pick them up from school.  I don't want to miss anything.  Working from home as a PLT will allow me to do this.  The job isn't ideal, but working from home is.  I need the flexibility.  I don't even know if Gorman will hire me to be a PLT, but I'm sure going to try my best to make it happen (with Heavenly Father's help). For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Jon's parents' house.  I ma...
