I raised my voice to the kids getting them ready for church
I was painfully late to Sacrament meeting
I was indeed still the last person to pick up my child from nursery
I left the church an hour after church was out
I ended up packing 4 suitcases instead of 2I get a big F for the week and I am hanging my head in shame. I was, however, successful in not strangling the kiddies on the plane ride. Very proud of that.
We've had a great week and have a couple more big weeks ahead of us, too. Allow me to share in some highlights a well as things we've discovered in the last 7 days....
- Kyle managed to pry himself away from his responsiblities for 10 days and went hunting. Unfortunately he has nothing to show for it. Bambi got away! No jerky for you guys this year. Sorry.
- Kyle and I could enter a couples pogo stick tournament and fair pretty well
- Cade managed to get a black eye and fall into a pond at Gardener Village within about 22 hours of each other. Talk about rough day. Poor kid.
- Savannah loves being in front of a croud. She ran in a race on Thanksgiving and ate up the attention of hundreds of strangers cheering her on.
- Cade hates losing. Just after the gun went off for his Thanksgiving race Cade noticed lots of people were in front of him and he began sobbing because he wasn't first. Fortunately by the second half of his race, he got over it and was smiling.
- I always revert to a child when I am at my parent's house. For instance, I love eating the food my folks make and getting to pick the movie to watch at night. Such pleasures remind me of the good ol' days when I was a self-absorbed teenager with just myself to worry about.
We are heading to Boise in a couple of hours and then off to Hawaii. YES!!
And then home to pack up our house. Sniff, Sniff.

HI! It has been a while! It sounds like things are great! Have fun in HI... I wish I was going there! I read your thoughts about nie nie... I love her blog, but I, too, can get overwhlemed by all of my weaknesses and how I wish I could be like her. But then, I try to remember that people usually only blog the good stuff... she is not goign to blog about how she got upset at her kids or left the house messy... I just try to be insipired by the way she loves life and loves being a mom... I want to be like that. Also, I still think about that time freshman year when you wrote me that sweet list when I was so sad and down... you will always have a sweet spot in my memories for that. So, you are great! I love catching up on your blog from time to time - you are an awesome writer!
