We Made it to Friday!

Sorry, I missed yesterday.  I went to another girls night and I didn't get out until late.  It was so nice.  We talked and talked and talked for 3 hours straight.  It's so wonderful having a group of friends whom I enjoy just talking with.  I don't know how much longer these girls nights are going to last though.  One friend is moving in a few weeks and one is having a baby in a few weeks.

I've been feeling a little sad today.  Sad for the kids.  Feeling sad that they are here at home all the time with no interaction with others.  I feel like I chose to pull them out of school and home school them.  I feel like it's my fault that they are missing out on so many things.  Obviously, it's not my fault.  It's not my fault that the world is fighting a pandemic.  It's not my fault that the kids are home, in fact, the governor ordered it to be so.  I just hope that we can make it through the year...we just finished week 1 and I'm a little discouraged thinking about how we are going to continue this for so many more months.  I just really want life to get back to normal.  Maybe it won't?  Maybe I just have to get used to this new normal.  Maybe life as I used to know it won't exist ever again.  I miss that life more than I ever thought that I would have.

I promised that the kids could trade in their good behavior tickets for prizes every Friday.  Today was the day!

Mason's earnings:


These are Bryce's prizes:


I think that I went overboard on the prizes, ha ha.


I made some homemade bread today...it tasted delicious with the homemade peach jam that our neighbors brought us.

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...
