James's Birthday Party

I did an exercise video this morning.  I was too tired to wake up early and go for a long walk or a run.  It's okay.  It felt good to sleep in the extra hour.  Although...I really did miss my alone time outside.  I think I really, really, really need it in order to start the day out right and to keep my sanity.  Jon was gone most of the day and we met him at the birthday party.  He was helping his parents move things to storage.  I started getting a little nervous today, again, when I thought of how we will soon have 3 extra adults living in our home.  I wonder how meals will go.  I wonder if they will expect me to make gourmet meals every day.  I wonder if I will feel like a maid and be cleaning up after everyone...more than I usually do.  Just so many unknowns about the situation and it's making me a little nervous and anxious.

I am getting a little discouraged about nursing school.  The counselor just isn't getting back to me.  It's frustrating, depressing, and I'm finding myself starting to lose hope.  I tried to sign up for a chemistry class, but I couldn't because I need a counselor to sign me in.  If my counselor isn't responding to my emails...then I will never be able to sign up for any class.  I thought maybe I'd try for the Vocational Nursing Program instead.  And then do the Registered Nursing Program afterwards.  Since the vocational nursing program requires you to take a nutrition class, I signed up for an online course for next semester.  I just want to do what I can to move towards my goal.

I cut the boys' hair today.  I didn't get any pictures.  They look decent for my first time solo.  I didn't fade correctly but I'll have Jon teach me how to do it again and I bet I'll do better next time.  It's actually pretty fun to cut hair!

We went to James's Birthday Party tonight at Darlene's house.  This is the first time since they bought that house (3 years ago) that we have been there for a party.  It's a nice home.  They just got a playground out back and the kids had a blast.  It makes me really excited for the day when we will get a playground in our backyard.

Anyway, here are the pictures from today:

At the Party!  Mason and Lydia are so similar...we call them The Twins.

2021 Summary

 2021...What a year! Some Highlights: I read the Book of Mormon 4 times this year (one time I finished in 29 days!) We studied the Doctrine and Covenants for Come follow Me! Lizzie Started Highschool (and seminary)! William started Kindergarten! I got depressed being home without the kids...so I got my first job in 14 years! I was called to be the ward Young Women President in January. Jon is still serving in the Bishopric, this year as the 2nd Counselor. Bryce was ordained to the office of a Deacon and serves as the Deacon Quorum President. Jon broke his foot in March and had to have surgery. Our fruit trees produced no fruit this year, which was sad. Lizzie was extremely sick for about 2 months.  She had ovarian cysts, major constipation, and valley fever! We had the opportunity to listen to two General Conferences, which are my favorite holiday's. We went to Last Vegas after Christmas 2020, we went to Utah for Kynzlee's baptism, we went to Utah for the 4th of July holiday, ...

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...

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...
