Frankenplant!

I only took two pictures today.

We went to Apollo Park in the morning!  I didn't take any pictures.  But it was wonderful!  The playgrounds were open and the kids played on the playground...the first playground that they have played on since March!  They had so much fun.  I saw Rachel Phelan there and it was nice to talk to her for a little bit.

After the park we got back to the grind and did school.

Caitlyn did a great job on her "Frankenplant"!



Mason has been struggling with school.  He whines and complains about it every day.  He refuses to write anything down.  When he does math he just wants to do it all in his head and he absolutely refuses to write the problem down and work through it.  It has been so frustrating.  Homeschooling has a lot of benefits...but I'm feeling like it isn't working for the kids this year, aside from Lizzie.  They all complain and don't want to listen to me.  Sometimes it's really hard.  But I shouldn't be complaining.  We are too blessed for me to murmur like this.

We had a young women activity tonight.  We participated in a virtual tour of the Mormon Battalion.  I loved it.  We only had 2 girls from our ward show up (including Lizzie), so that was a little discouraging.

It seems like I reach a point in every calling that I get when I feel like I'm not needed any longer.  I usually get these feelings right before I'm released.  I can't imagine the Bishop changing up the Young Women Presidency any time soon, but who knows.  Part of me feels like I'm not needed there any longer.  Or that I am needed elsewhere.  Or that someone else would be better in the calling than I would be.  Maybe I'm just feeling discouraged tonight.  Today was a discouraging day.  I don't want to turn into "Debbie Downer", so I will leave out the discouraging details.

Let me just say that I just want to curl up in a ball, get away from everyone, and cry myself to sleep.

I hope that tomorrow is better.

Still Feeling Sad

 My camera broke on my phone, so I don't really have many pictures to share.  The only pictures that I have are of the selfie variety. Easter and General Conference has come and gone.  It was a nice Holy Week and Easter Weekend thinking about Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that He made for each and every one of us.  I finished listening to the book, "Considering the Cross", by John Hilton.  It was a great book and I learned a lot.  One particular part of the book that I have been thinking about is the part when he talked about the symbols of Easter.  He spoke of the Robe, the Reed, and the Crown.  The crimson robe is to remind us that Jesus entered the wine press alone.  He, alone, bore the weight of every single grape.  He did it for me.  The Reed is to remind us that although it was given to Jesus in mockery, He really did contain the power to rule.  He could have stopped everything...but he chose to stay.  The crown, ma...

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...
