Sundays

It really is hard to feel the Spirit when you have children with ants in their pants! The topic was awesome and did learn so I guess that is important. I did enjoy our combined meeting (only the baby) :). I needed to hear all of the topics today. I learned a lot even while in the Mother's Lounge. Really!! I got to nap for an hour. I guess all in all it's been a wonderful Sunday. My kids are in bed before 9 and now I am just waiting for the cheesecake to come out of the oven. Not to worry . . . I won't get a lick of it. It's a birthday gift to my neighbor, whom I will is say is really an awesome example of faith, hope, and charity. I love her dearly.

One thing that baffles me is how is it that I work so stinkin hard on Saturday to get the house clean for Sunday, but the time Sunday is over, this house is turned upside down?! And usually by the end of Sunday, I am wiped! Is is just me? I get a headache every Sunday too. Ha!

I love our ward. I have met so many wonderful sisters. I never had sisters until I had sister-in-laws. Then I realized that my ward sisters are really my sisters. I love the bond I have with them. I love learning from them and being able to share with them. I have been shown so much love and kindness. I look forward to seeing my sisters each Sunday and I am reminded that they help me to feel the Spirit. Thanks ladies! I love you all!

Ah Sundays!

I am failing miserably!

Not at blogging, but at Weight Watchers. I am just not disciplined enough. Go ahead laugh. I like to eat and don't care much for exercise. Somethings gotta give I guess. Gym memberships are too expensive and the weather here stinks for trying to get out and exercise. So I guess I better stick to Weight Watchers. I am not feeling very confident about my goal to lose 10 - 15 lbs by my birthday on FEBRUARY 28th. That's in 30 or so SHORT days away. The days are flying by. It will be February on Monday. That's just crazy.

I am trying

In my effort to be better, I am here again tonight. I do not know what I've done to my background though. I was trying to put up a new background and it just isn't working. I'll figure it out. I just need to focus on writing for now.

Anyway - so I didn't do a whole lot today. I did make a brown rice salad and dessert for a baby shower I attended. However, tomorrow is turning out to be busy. The kids don't have school. I had hoped for a day to sleep in, but I guess that won't be coming anytime soon. I also can't seem to catch a cat nap either. Apparently, I haven't earned it. Bitter? Yes and growing grumpier as the week progresses.

I need to keep this brief, as I need to make time for scripture study. I am so distracted. I have the days events running through my mind, but I also have what I need to accomplish in the coming days there too. All this crazy madness is not working too well, with the whole "lifesyle change". It is challenging to try to eat well, when I only have time to grab the closest and easiest thing AND I just am not making time to prepare. I can barely make time to go to the bathroom. Great excuses I know, but still I try.

Well, I've gotta get the hungry baby and read. Off I go.
