oh… that’s right…
i have a blog. i do. so – what’s up this week around here? …
eye doctor… i think i’m blind when really i’m like 20/25. i’m a perfectionist about my vision. my eye doc is my former bishop… he held eliza for so long. it was cute. she smelled like his cologne the rest of the day.
ob-gyn this week…. ummmm, yah… the things we women experience in this mortal life. i do like my doctors though. won’t see them for 2 years. yay!
dentist today… my tooth hurts… is this another root canal?… please. no.
parent teacher conference. hannah and abe did great. i love seeing them with their teacher and in their classroom.
r.s. … wowsers, i think i’ll learn a lot. i.need.training.mucho. my heart hurts for those who are struggling. my prayer: please fill my mouth with words… the right ones.
it’s raining. the high was 84 on monday … 47 today. i’m not ready for winter. really.
eliza is a dearie. she is starting to recognize us. she’ll look at us for a moment and then you see a SPARKLE of recognition in her eyes… then it spreads to her mouth and she attempts a smile. it’s the dearest little look. she’s being blessed this Sunday.
loved general conference… though with kids around it seemed to go by so fast.
my mind is whirring. sometimes i feel like i’m on a merry-go-round and everything is rushing by so swiftly… spinning … a blur. i occasionally jump off the merry-go-round… take a look at things in a new perspective… re-group… and jump back on… for we gotta keep going, going, going.
max just came up to me and said, “I love you so much, Mom.” he is quite the kiddo.
i am really good at making cookies at 4 p.m. when really i should be making dinner. but, oh, it’s so much more fun to make cookies… they are optional. dinner is necessary.
wouldn’t it be fun to have an ipad? i have to remind myself that it’s not eternally important… same with a new minivan… or new fun clothes… sigh…
flies… really – can they go away. we killed over 30 flies in 2 days. never leave the doors open.
teaching our 1st relief society on Sunday… theme: we can do hard things… to go along with new ‘Daughters in thy Kingdom’ book.
can’t post without a positive scripture to start the day. i glanced at Proverbs the other day and liked so many things. good stuff.
off to start the day!!

The FLIES! Oh, I hear you. They are so bad this year. I always thought September was the fly month, but by October shouldn’t they be gone? Ick.
Did you see how low the snow level is? I thought I’d be excited, but I’m not yet!! It reminds me I haven’t even taken out our old winter wear to see what new coats and boots we need to buy and what we can reuse. I don’t love that job every year.
You guys have flies too!? We left the doors open 1 night when we had a party and no matter how many I kill there’s always more!!
