The Story of My Life

I got this from a friend and had to steal it for my own uses. This truly is the story of my life. I miss so many things because my brain has some sort of short term memory malfunction, we won't mention the long term memory malfunction that's for another post. I miss Dr.'s appointments, school programs, book club, Normally Fit, firesides, meetings, preparing lessons for church (those are done the day of sometimes), visiting teaching appointments (mostly when they come to my house), home teaching appointments, the list could go on for DAYS! Hopefully those around me will continue to tolerate my brain malfunction and I won't become extinct too!

I hate to even say it, but number four was the kid that sent me over the edge and I have never recovered. My house used to be clean, I used to be on time, I used to be organized. Not so much after number four. Wouldn't trade it for the world though. I am hoping once #4 isn't a toddler but a preschooler that life will settle down enough for me to not be a space cadet.

That is so funny! I know what you mean. I always tell my husband I am the master/planner scheduler and since he forgets everything I HAVE to remember everything.

Yup I agree #4 has totally thrown me over the edge on this one and I hate to say that remembering was never my strong suit to begin with even before kids sucking (literally) the brain cells from me! You are still cool in my book but that may be because I have company in my forgetfullness! LOL We all have our things and that is ok!

You are not alone.

I remember the days when I was on time and stress free. Now, I'm 90% on time, but it almost always seem to involve some mild swearing in my head. And lots of "Where are your shoes? Why are they there and not on your feet? I've told you at least 7 times in the last 10 minutes to get your shoes." And on and on. And on. I'm on time, but it's not pleasant. And being late makes me nuts, so that's not much better!

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
