David and Bethsheba: so one of the moms posted this on her facebook link after class was over today:
"H what did you learn in church today? "Umm...well there was a lady taking a bath on her roof and some guy was watching, and the next day he came and took her to his castle and married her, and then she got sent off to the worst war ever." So H what was the point of the lesson? "Ummm Not to sun bath on your roof"
... ya... so that's how my lesson went... I swear I taught the lesson as best I could... but I guess that 10 year old's hear what they filter.
Home teachers: I really really really love our home teachers. Just sayin...
Pancakes: we had sourdoughs today and the Russians came! I love having Katya & Jason come, but today Sveta and Vlad came too and it was a lot of fun. Such good memories!

Birthdays: today I have 2 nieces who share a birthday, they are on two different sides of the family, but they have a lot of similarities to them. So, today I'm grateful for all my nieces (and nephews) they add so much to my life!
Get 'er done! After 2 days of feeling yucky, today it was awesome to feel great and to be able to get some of the things on my list checked off! Yay! Smaller lists!
Prep time: so tomorrow I have to give the lesson on David and Bethsheba. Not looking forward to that at all... 10 year olds... and adult content... yay... *sigh...

Residual effects: so today G had the yucks. Must be a bug of some sort. So we just laid low. It was a nice relaxing night without much happening in the day.
Reading: My sister gave me some books to read. The Mortal Instruments series. It's actually been a really fun read, and since I haven't felt up to snuff, it was good to have a nice book to loose myself in.
Funny commercials: so... seeing a "larger" man in a wet suit can be hilarious... who knew?

The yucks: I think I must have ate something yesterday cause today is a NO GO! I'm saddened because yesterday was such a good day and today all I want to do is lay on the floor.
Laying on the floor: did you know that when you lay on the floor a 14 month old automatically thinks of you as his very own personal toy? We've had many fun games today on the floor. It cracks me up.
Missing friends: because of the above reasons we had to miss our monthly get together with friends. I always feel blessed they are in my life, even if I don't get to see them.

36 years: 36 years ago my husband was born. He's had a lot of guardian angels protect him to get to this point... lets hope for 36 more years of protection!
Squished: whenever little E comes over and the two little ones start playing together, I've noticed that they are either on opposite sides of the room... or squished together... It's actually kinda funny.
Cuddle time: since it was his birthday, G took the night off from homework and we had a good night together. It was very nice, and very relaxing.

Birthday shopping: tomorrow is G's birthday! So the little man and I went and got him a daddy present. Its funny because I got a present for him... but now he gets another one from the little man! So really... I got to buy him 2 presents!
Grocery shopping: I went and picked up some things so that I can make chicken enchiladas. Fun side note, it was the first thing I ever made G when we were dating. He said he liked them more than his mom's (I'm sure he just wanted to make me happy) and so since they are his favorite, that is what he wanted for his birthday.
Homework: pretty much every night G has to sequester himself up in the office to do homework. I'm always thankful when he pushes it off a little bit so that he can spend time with our little family.

Peacemakers: I was told once that I'm a peacemaker. You know what that really means? I know when to keep my mouth shut!
Pictures: my dad took over 1000 pictures at the family reunion. It was 2 days people! Funny huh!!!
Cheese: I'm a fan of any food that has cheese in it. Any kind of cheese too... maybe I'm addicted to milk products... cause I really like ice-cream too...

Alarm clocks: so... we normally count on our kid to be the alarm clock. So when we all woke up at 9am this morning we figured we were going to be really late to church!
Laundry: so... the ox was in the mire!
Being there: I'm so grateful for when others are there for me. It makes it nice to be able to reciprocate when someone else needs me.

Pancakes: It was good to have a big family breakfast eating sourdough pancakes. It reminded me of my childhood and having them on a weekly basis. Such a good tradition that I'm hoping to pass on to my kids... especially since he ate 2 on his own.
Paddle boats: We got into a paddle boat and the kid instantaneously fell asleep. We also watched as the rest of our family went around the lake having fun with each other.
Cousins: I love how much the cousins all loved playing with my kid. He had so much fun going from kid to kid, laughing, screaming, being tickled and loved. I'm so grateful for such great kids in my life. I love them!

Driving: I love driving through the canyon. It is also good that the kid does well in the car, but there is something about the beauty of nature that is calming and happy.
Ziplines: Okay... expect the unexpected here... I, scaredy-cat crybaby of the universe, climbed up a cargo net, walked across a rope walkway and went down a zipline tonight! Sure, it tooke me 25 minutes to my husband's 3... but still! I impressed myself!!!
Snacks: my family rocks in the food department. It's fun to never be hungry!

Costco: So many wonderful things in that store... all in bulk... perfect for family reunions... amen.
Packing: don't you think that when you start the packing process you inevitably say to yourself that you're going to forget something... I've embraced that feeling, and raise you a "I'm going to forget 2 things!"
Piggies: you could think I'm going to talk about playing piggies with the kid... I'm not! We got some yummy pig we're going to make into wonderful yumminess! Umm Umm Yumm!

Tickles: what is better than a screaming/laughing kid?
Standing up: Little E is standing and trying to walk. It is hilarious because today she grabbed hold of the little man and he grabbed her arms... then proceeded to make Little E walk backwards... until they crashed. Hilarious!
Finger foods: the kid has decided to revolt against anything on a spoon. Thank heavens for finger foods!

Peeing on a stick: I like it when it comes back negative... at least this time I liked it! (I'm late, but now there's nothing to worry about!)
Prep time: I'm getting excited for our family reunion this weekend. I love spending time with family and I'm trying to find little things to do to make it fun for the kids.
Gratitude: I've had a lot of events happen, and a lot of things I'm looking forward to. I'm so grateful for my life. It has it's ups and downs, but overall, what a good ride.

Stress: I think that sometimes it's a good thing to be under high amounts of stress. For starters it reminds us of how good we normally have it, secondly, adrenaline is the mother of invention (forget about necessity!), and finally after solving a problem nothing feels better than letting go of the stress!
Freelance: I'm done for the time being... whew!
Support: I called G today in a total panic (see stress above) and he was able to calm me down, and help me find a solution as quickly as he could. I have my own personal computer handyman!

A new month: isn't it wild that it's already August?!? It amazes me how the older I get the faster time goes.
Testimony meeting: I love our little ward. We might be few in numbers but we're huge in spirit!
Afternoon naps: after playing so hard, our little family had a good nap... well I laid down and pretended... but it was still good down time!

Cracker Barrel: I love breakfast at the Cracker Barrel! So guess where we went this morning? YUM!
Dating: it was so amazing to feel like G and I were dating again. It was fun to just be goofy and laugh at things. I am reminded over and over again why I fell in love with this man.
Babies: we went home tonight and picked up the little man. He didn't really want to come home. I think that it is a tribute to my sister and her kids.

Sisters: my wonderful and amazing sister took the day off of work so that she could take my kid for the weekend! It was so amazing to me! It meant so much to be able to have that time with my husband without a kid around. Thank you thank you!!! You rock!
Movies: G and I were able to goof off all day today. It was so much fun! We went out to breakfast, went to a movie, ate some more... pretty much the perfect day for me.
Sundance: to end the night G took me to Sundance to their outdoor theater. I huffed and puffed getting up the hill... apparently I need to do more Zumba... but once we were there it was amazing to be on a hill, sitting on a blanket, snuggled up to G. Good times!

Memories: 5 years ago I got married. I'm so grateful to have such an amazing person in my life. Grateful that he loves me and grateful for the many ways he shows his love. I couldn't have asked for a better match to me. I love that man!!!
Family time: G took the rest of the week off, so today we spent time as our little family. It was so much fun to be together and I'm grateful for the down time.
Dates: since the little man was feeling better my in-laws took him so that G and I could go out to dinner. It was nice to go and get something fun to eat. Even if it took us forever to decide what we wanted.

Sickos: the kid is sick today. I feel so sorry for him. His poor little bum...
Joints: have you ever noticed that when you're on the floor, your joints pop as you get up... yes, that is the sound of me getting older... you just have to laugh about it!
Laughter: I have always found it to be the best medicine. I'm grateful for a sense of humor when cleaning up isn't so fun.

Loves: whenever the kid is wanting to cuddle or to be held I will say the word "loves" to him. He will promptly sit on my lap and cuddle up. Today we gave a lot of "loves."
Wipes: as I found out that the kid was giving loves because he wasn't feeling so good, I was also reminded quickly of why I love wipes so much. They are handy to have for many a messy situation.
Computers: I am so grateful to have my handy dandy laptop. It is so useful and if I need to be mobile while I work I can. Yay for the invention! (and Yay that they don't cost an arm and a leg anymore!)
