Excite Me

Things that are making me happy right now:

A new season of The Doctor



The majority of 3 days spent outside in the sunshine


My energy is returning so slowly but surely thanks to tons of vitamins



Cinnamon rolls that I am making for breakfast tomorrow



But the thing I am mostly excited for is General Conference!

 

Keith is at the age where he listens to what goes on around him.  So much so that I have begun to be very careful of the media while he is in the room.  I have a game planned for him to listen and get treats, but he will be listening and that is the important thing.  Oh, and the fact that I get to hear from a living day prophet!  That is pretty cool as well. ;)

This post is linking up with Mamarazzi's Happy List party.  Come join the fun.

LOVE the General Conference weekend. Almost as much as I'd love those cinimin rolls. Also, I have no idea how to spell cinimmon. And to think, I am a teacher.

Can I come over for breakfast???

Isn't it awesome & super scary when the littles start really paying attention to everything around them. My daughter has asked me about conversations I've had earlier in the day & I was shocked at how much she paid attention to.

Conference weekend is the best! We get bagels for Saturday morning and make cinnamon rolls for Sunday! Although, today I had a really hard time focusing on the talks. :(

The Doctor? Never heard of it. Enjoy your show!!

I Love general conference! Did Keith watch or at least sit still so you could? Cuz my 2 SOOO didn't. Oh well. At least the Spirit was in the room... when I wasn't screaming at them. :)
Oh, and hooray for good weather... at least for a minute!

Oooh! Recipe please!!!!! I was craving them babies. There was a sweet gal in our ward who made the BEST cinnamon rolls evah! I enjoyed conference. I had to watch it on my computer this round though. I got rid of some of my movie channels and changed my plan. In the process I lost the BYU channel! Booo! Great happy list!

I hope you enjoyed conference. I started watching the new Dr. Who a couple of weeks ago on BBC America. It is a lot of fun. I didn't realize there was an old one. I always thought this was the version you talked about. Glad you are feeling better :)

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really.

We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me.

Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?"
Lowes: "What's that?"
"A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short."
"Is that like a brand of baseboard?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling."
"Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?"
"Tile?"
"To go along the ceiling, right?"
"Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."
"I hav…

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight.

We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven.

After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired.

The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting.

We talked about the children.  
We talked about school.
We talked about our rental house.
And our plans for the future.
As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening.

More so me.
Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly.

While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships.

Last night was a perfect example.
We received the news.

The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news.

And it came in the form of an email from a good friend.


And reality s…
