Happy Monday!! I feel like it is going to be a great day!! I haven't felt this good in a few weeks, so I am so excited! Yesterday I taught a lesson to my Young Women on Personal Records. We talked about different ways people keep journals. I was telling them that I had started a blog and my daughter challenged me to record a week in my life. So, I am going to take her up on that.
So... Day 1 -
It started a little late. I didn't get up until 6:35. Hannah and Megan were already getting ready. They both have SOL tests today. Alyssa also has one too, but she doesn't let the pressure of a test get her down. She is still sleeping peacefully. It has been Hannah's tradition for the past couple of years to eat blueberry muffins for breakfast on her SOL days (she is convinced they help her make 600s), so I was scrambling to get those made in time to catch the bus. After mixing up muffins, it was way past time to wake up Abbie, Alyssa, and Weston. Abbie did really well, Weston wanted to stay asleep. At 7:10, they were just sitting down to eat, so we missed the bus. Instead of getting down, we did a little Monday dance, and they were car riders. We loaded the truck at 7:25 and headed off to school. They were really pretty happy for a Monday! (It might have something to do with the fact it is the LAST Monday of this school year!!! YAY!!!) On my way home I pass Barry who is heading off to work. I walk in the door, and Jordan and Megan are heading out. Megan didn't seem her happy self, so I am praying that her day is amazing and her SOL goes well. The morning rush is almost over. But I can't find Alyssa! After searching the house, I find her out in the lot playing with the miniature horse she is trying to tame. She is, of course, smiling from ear to ear. So she grabs a muffin and off we go to catch her bus. As we leave, Michael brings my little Bentley for me to watch, so he got to wave Alyssa off this morning. Next it is time to get lunch started for Barry and the boys, start a load of towels, order ice cream from Barry's uncle for the PTO meeting on Thursday, Scott brings Noah, I send off an email reminder about field day and the PTO meeting, get Noah breakfast, change Bentley's very poopy diaper ,and now I am finally finishing my first entry for the day. Whew!! Now it is off to do Zumba if my little ones will let me! LOL
I have managed to get everyone fed for lunch, Bentley had a short nap, another load of laundry done, did 40 minutes (hit and miss due to running after two little ones) of Zumba, ordered some new walking shoes and a Hilary Weeks CD (that I LOVE) and now it's off to clean up lunch! Have you ever heard the song "Who You Are" by Hilary Weeks? That is my theme song today. If I knew how to put it on here I would, but I can't figure it out. It starts out, "I know you wonder if you'll ever have a day When the kids stay calm, the laundry's done, and the dishes are put away...Believe in what you're doing, Believe in who you are." Just thought that was appropriate right now. My two little grandchildren are making more messes than I can keep up with! I love them so much though, and just had to sit down and hug them both! Heavenly Father is so good to me!!
A couple of week ago I found this awesome site that Hilary Weeks started. The purpose of this site is to promote positive thoughts. You get this little clicker and click every positive thing that you do throughout the day. I have been so excited about it, so I finally ordered me a clicker. I am so excited to start clicking!! I have been told many times that your attitude reflects your thoughts. If you think positive, you will be positive. I will have to report how it goes a little later.
Scott came about 2:30 to get Noah. Abbie, Weston and Hannah got off of the bus at 2:47, and the afternoon rush begins. Abbie rushes to get ready for dance class, we pick up her cousin Madison at 3:25, pick up Alyssa at 3:35, and it's off to pick up Megan. We get to Magna Vista at 4:00. All three of my girlies that had tests today, felt really good about them. Megan got pass advanced. I am so proud of all of them! Megan had a meeting to be on the Horticulture team for her school. Next it is off to dance class. Abbie dances from 5:00-5:45. She is so lucky because Megan is a student teacher for her class and the class after. Alyssa dances from 6:30-8:00. This is the last dance class for them this year. Friday is rehearsal and Saturday is the recital. During all of the dance time, we picked up treats for the little horse, and black ribbon and elastic for Megan's point shoes. I was also able to study a little bit about Sarah. I have enjoyed learning about her so much. The faith that she had in our Father in Heaven is so amazing! Her longing for a child for so long, and then she had to have faith in Him to help her when she conceived at 90 years old. Well, it's almost 9:30, and I am completely exhausted. I am going to change my sheets (I didn't get that done earlier) and I am off to bed. I love my family so much!
