In over my head

The school year hasn't started quite yet and I am feeling like I am going to need to be on my "A game" all the time. Here are a few things on my plate- 
wife, 
mom to 5, 
part time care taker of a 92 year old and a 100 year old,
personal progress advisor, 
co treasurer for the elementary PTA... as long as they find the other co..., 
trying to lose some weight,
trying to keep up on the house, 
scheduling people to work on the house projects we have going,
Assistant 4-H leader... 
I was thinking their was more but can't think of any more right now. 

We are going to be at four different schools with morning kindergarten everyday and afternoon preschool two days a week, on the schedule. 

Glen's new job demands are going to hit pretty hard in the next week or two and who knows what that will bring. I have heard the winter months especially December are the worst.  
I have been trying to scheme ways to see him more aside from the whole family becoming RHS super fans, but it isn't going well.  
I have thought stopping to visit him...which we do every so often, or doing a weekly lunch date but he is thinking weekly might be too often and he's not sure what things will be like once kids actually are in the building. Oh it's going to be a fun year. 
I think I am ready for a nap already.

A big chair and a little girl. It really doesn't get any better for a nap, does it?

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
