I am not one that likes football. In fact, I think it was such a BIG deal in our home growing up, that I just learned to HATE IT… I hate the way people get so involved in it. It’s there life.. They get so upset, and acted crazy when “their team” loses… Anyways Just wanted to share how I felt about foot ball….
Than to top it off, Sunday and TV.. I hate the extra noise in the house with the TV on.. ITs loud enough with all the kids playing, let alone add a TV in to the mix.. So sunday is the one day I can say NO TV… And no one argues.. Its just part of the sabbath that we honor.. DVR is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can record my shows and watch them the next day while all the kids are at school… Which really is only one show now.. Once Abound a time show.. LOVE it..
anyways again, not the point of my post.. Just an out line..
I woke up this morning to my house a mess.. Not much is new,.. But Anthony was nice enough to get all the kids showered and ready for church and let me sleep in… But I get a text from our good friends the Hoppies, you know the family that just got baptized… They wanted to come over after church to watch the foot ball game.. ERRRR Football…
I am always happy for sunday guest.. Set in the house let the kids play while we eat and laugh and have a good time.. But really Football & TV are going to be on… Not looking good for me.. I guess Anthony and Devun already made plans to watch it, with or without the sunday rule/law….
So We told them to come on over. We didn’t have much food, but we would think of something..
I put some pork in the crock pot.. and soon after got a call from the Bishop Ric asking to meet with me..
We all cleaned the house as fast as we could.. Said a family prayer.. and Ran out the door..
Devun gave his First talk in Church today.. He did So great from what I could hear.. Sam was at it again, so we had to leave the Chapel and sit in the loud zone.. Which was mostly loud cause Sam was crying.. He wanted to go to his Class, and play with his friends… We really need to get him in preschool, or I have to get this daycare up and running, because my baby is bored!
I was released from my calling.. I wish I wasn’t happy about this.. But I am. I really want to be with the Relief society and get away from little kids for a while.. I need to speak to women who are going through what I am going throw, or have gone through. I need that support, and teaching the 7/8 year olds for two hours is not allowing that to happen..
So I taught my last class today… Don’t get me wrong, I love Primary, its just not the right time or place for me right now.. I am sure when my kids are older in a few years I will be begging to go back in.. But for now I am just so happy to be free…
After church we meant with The bishop again,,, I am so grateful for the Churches services that they offer and help you with… We have been getting some assistance during this hard time, and it just has helped so much… Things do look like they are getting better, but we just have to wait… I am grateful that Anthony and I are full-time tithe payers, and we do give to the fast offerings each month as much as we can.. But still I wish we could support ourselves.. Soon! He is working, he just needs to get paid for what he does~ I know I keep saying that.. But it is very frustrating for me..
So, we came home from church.. I made some home-made Chocolate Chip cookies.. Anthony’s Favorite, as long as I make them right.. Which I did tonight.
Jessica & Robert came over with their three kids and nephew who is about Sams age (mom and dad at the hospital trying to give birth).. It was so cute to see the two little boys playing.. And they had SO MUCH fun together.. So much fun!
So even though the TV was on & it was football. it was nice to visit with my friends, and see my kids have Fun!
But you know what was the best part about today? Before we left the house we sat as a family to say morning prayer. I offered it today.. I prayed for everything above, Devun would do good in his talk, Anthony and I would do well with our teaching.. (Anthony taught today too) and the things which we are grateful for.. I told the lord how grateful I am for this baby.. This little girl who will be joining and completing our family.. How happy we are that she will be here soon, and I couldn’t help but cry…. I didn’t want to cry, the tears just came out.. And they came out again during the Sacrament song, and again while I was talking to my friend in the hall…
I think I have done such a good job at complaining this pregnancy that I have forgotten what a gift I am/ will be given.. A baby is priceless, and I really can’t have it all, but I have been so blessed with her!
So yes, today was crazy day… I like my Sundays Off, nothing to do but go to Church and have a nice nap. Read with the kids and just take it easy.. Today was Nothing like that.
But Still I was able to fill joy, and be with my family & friends and enjoy the day… Did I mention that Devun did Great on his talk.. He wrote it, and worked on it and I loved it! I am so proud of the young man that he is becoming… I will try to find it and type it up here for those that missed it… (if he still has it)
I got a phone call yesterday from a wonderfully nice lady, that is always looking to help! She is going to throw me a baby shower in Feb, so the stress of things needed is gone…. again, I am so grateful!
