One of Those Days

I had a hard time waking up this morning.  William kept me up a lot last night.  I tried cuddling with him in his bed, I tried putting him back to bad multiple times, and I finally just gave in and let him sleep in our bed.  As soon as his head hit my pillow...in my bed...he was out like a light.  I left him there and I went to the couch.  He has never been a good sleeper.   Even at 4 years old, unless I'm sleeping right next to him, he wakes up and wants me.  The other kids weren't like this, although they didn't have the opportunity to because another baby had always come and needed my attention.  Honestly though, waking up at night with my kids doesn't really bother me.  I feel needed.  I feel loved.  Let's just keep this our little secret though, ha ha.

Jon's parents still haven't moved in.  They have until tomorrow morning to be out of their house though, so it will be tomorrow for sure.  I feel so bad for them.  I feel like they have been packing for months and they still aren't done.  They are still packing at this very moment and it's 9:30 pm, the night before they will have to give up their house keys.

I didn't take many pictures today.  Like I said, I had a hard time getting up this morning.  The day seemed dark before it even started.  I made myself do some exercise in the garage at 5, as usual.  I really didn't want to, but I figured I couldn't wake up without it.  I honestly just wanted to lay in bed all day and do nothing.  I wish days like that were a possibility at times.

I made Halloween M&M cookies in an effort to lighten up my mood.  I know, it's a temporary fix...but it made the kids happy.  Also, one of the YW has a birthday tomorrow so I had the excuse of making them for her.  I'll drop them off tomorrow.

I wasn't feeling too great about myself today.  It's just something that I have to fight every single day.  Some days I am more confident than others.  Today was not one of those days.

After dinner, Jon went to help his parents pack.  I listened to a town hall meeting with Vice President Biden while watching the boys play outside.  It was a beautiful evening.  The sunsets in the desert are stunning.






Caitlyn wrote her sight words in shaving cream today.


Oh my goodness...thank goodness tomorrow is Friday.

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...
