A Haystacks sort of day

Think Swing Choir in Sugar City…

Monday, monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Can’t trust that day (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Monday, monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
It just turns out that way (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Whoa, monday, monday, wont go away (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Monday, monday, it’s here to stay (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Oh monday, monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Oh monday, monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da)

Not that it was a bad day.
Just a Monday… “get back into the groove of life” day.
An ‘INTENSE’ sort of feeling day.

Went to BYU to pick up scripture journal prints (love them!).
Stopped by BYU Creamery Outlet for Tru to get his fill.
He connects BYU to ice cream.
Detour around the temple = best detour ever!

Drove home barely in time to meet the kindergarten bus.
We have quite a posse at the bus stop.
“Posse: a large group often with a common interest.”
Common interest: waving at the bus and smiling at our kindergartener.
Ready to greet them with hugs and smiles.
Awesomeness.

Early Out for Hannah & Abe.
Tears for Abe.
Kids are not always as gentle with our kids as we wish they’d be.
Piano Lessons.
I do love teaching.
I wish I would have learned more when I taking lessons in college.
I should have done a piano minor.
They make you practice a ridiculous amount of hours though.
I probably should have practiced more…
my Chinese teacher Harry would have been able to teach me more.
Anyhoo…. do love teaching.

You know the 4-8 o’clock time … busiest and most emotional for kids & mom.
Jimmy came home and said, “It’s a Haystacks sort of day?”
“Yep” was my reply.
We all know around here that means I’m tired and don’t know what to make…
haystacks is our back-up meal plan.

FHE … “I am a Child of God”
Thought the kids could handle painting a wall hanging.
The kids handled it okay… but I was a bundle of nerves by the end.
I have such great intentions for lessons.
Hopefully my children get something out of it.
My Prayer: “Please bless my efforts day by day.”

Hugs to older tots @ bedtime…
Mom: “I’m sorry for the times I have a hard time being patient.”
Hannah: “We all have hard times, but we can always start over tomorrow and do better.”

She is pretty much awesome… right there… yep, awesome.

Technology is not my friend today.
I’ve been reading ksl.com & foxnews.com.
Don’t ever read the news. It’s depressing.
Especially about Syria… & Russia & China backing Syria. Arg.
Facebook – bleh. I think people should only type what they would say to someone’s face.
SugarDoodle Melanie linked to my “Creating a Family Emergency Plan” Post from Simply Fresh Designs.
Only problem is 3-4,000 people tried to go there and GoDaddy Hosting service couldn’t handle the traffic…
and my site is slow as molasses now. Crashed.
On the up & up… just opened my shop after summer vacation and in 10 minutes I had 3 orders.
