Dear Diary...

I started this day with nothing prepared for Easter Sunday. I'm ending it ready! So happy about that. I was busy today. Obviously had a lot of running around to do. As my Mesa family started posting their pictures of Easter picnic's I kinda got a little sad I wasn't there... But that went away quickly. :)

Tonight we went to a choir concert Kendahl's choir put on. It was really nice. It was a "Dessert Theater". (Get it? Like a dinner theater?). Ken sang a solo from Hairspray. "I can hear the bells". She did a good job!

Tomorrow is ham, funeral potatoes, salad, and rolls. Yum! Loooking forward to a nice Easter Sunday.

a special day

I'm so looking forward to Saturday!!  But I'm starting to have anxiety about it.  It's like the only day to get things done. So WhAt To Do FiRst??  What if we don't get much done at all?  That would stink!  And then there's the charity fund raiser...  Ahhhh, I don't know if anything will get done.  Saturday is stressful and great all at the same time.

Back To The Kids!

I think I'm in love with my kids!  And isn't that great? 
They have been sick. :(  Strep.  That makes me sad. But, it has given me a chance to stay home from work two days this week that I didn't know I would be.  I was so glad!  I got to do dishes and keep the kitchen clean for a few days straight.  That was fun!  Just like a theme park....  I also have made dinner and kinda enjoyed the time in the kitchen. :)  Fun, fun!  Seriously it has been good though.

But, a couple of cool things happened today to make me happy.  First of all I had three of them at the doctors, and I have to say, Thank Heavens for Technology!  I hardly heard a word out of them.  *hehe  They were great, no complaints about the three long hours we were there.  That was nice.  

Next cool thing, I made chicken noodle soup for dinner. Carter had a bowl and then lets out something like... "That was just what I needed. It made me feel better all over. No more sore throat, no more headache!"  That made me feel so good!!  I hardly ever get compliments about dinner.

Last cool thing, Baillie is playing Volleyball with the city and she is LOVING it!  She is so cute!  Tonight she had a game and she stepped up!!  She did great!  She served so good, she got some hits that were awesome and she had a wonderful time.  This is only her second game this year and of her life for that matter!  So cool.

Oh and the last cool thing was that my kids laughed together tonight and enjoyed each other.  They haven't gotten back into a good bed routine after Spring break.  So they can't seem to get to sleep at a decent time, but they were sure happy and fun tonight. 

K, there you go about the awesome ones.  :)

Picture-less in Mesa

I actually took pictures with my phone, but don't have anything to show for it because I don't have a converter to use to post them.  Story of my blog life lately. I don't mind necessarily, but it makes it more boring. Oh well.
I've been considering taking this blog private...  I didn't think I'd ever want to do it, but I have reasons to change my mind. We'll see.

I've been in Mesa for nearly a week. It's been different. I haven't gone out of my way to see friends. Mostly spent time with family. I'm struggling to have a desire to see people, INCLUDING family. 

Things I wish I had pictures of...  That BEAUTIFUL baby!!  What a special baby Savanna is. I can't believe how peaceful she is. She has a way about her, her calm spirit calms those around her. She is just filled with the feelings of peace and love. Yes, she cries and gets tired, but you can see her little self trying to be "good" anyway. What a sweety.

Grandma. I would come here just to see her! I love her. It's hard to see her mind going. If you are with her for a short while you may think she is totally normal, but if you spend a little more time with her you will notice she starts asking you something she just asked you about, and then she'll do it again and again.  She asks repeatedly, "did I hug you already?"  I went to see her on Wednesday, but she didn't remember the next day that I had been over. She can't remember one day to the next on a lot of things. There's not much to talk about, but she wants to talk. She talks of being homesick, but I don't know if she really knows what she's homesick for. It's hard for my heart to see. It feels like an ache that I can't relieve.  I miss her!!!!!!  I miss her mind!!!  I love her!!!

All the kids, cousins, have been so great to each other. They are cute and sweet and wonderful.  I could always take tons of pictures of them.

It's been fun here, but some depression in me has felt heavy. Not fun..  I miss our home, I'm ready to be there.
