On Sunday Jake had his Baptismal Interview with our Bishop. Bret went with him and I finished cleaning up the Primary rooms and saying goodbye to the last of the kids. Quietly Jake walks up to me and looks at me. I smile and ask him how his interview went. He said good and then tells me, "Mom we have to be reading our Scriptures and saying our Prayers every morning and night. And I'm supposed to be reading my Scriptures by myself too."
Now mind you, we try hard to do it once a day - but we are hit and miss.
Well, on the way home from church I look back to see Jake reading his Scriptures. :) And he has been reminding us every morning and night to read and pray. Bret said that he promised Bishop to read and pray every morning and night.
It makes my heart so glad to see him so eager to do what the Lord wants him to do.

I have been Neglectful!!!
And I am very sorry! There are 2 reasons for my lack of posts lately. The first being my busyness. I've been being kept busy with PTA things, Primary, Judo, Groceries, and a few other things. :)
The second reason is because I have promised myself not to do angry blogging. I've set a new goal for myself to be a more positive person. Funny thing is, this new goal has been a trial lately. I've had a LOT of dramatic situations in my life recently and it's hard not to sit and vent.
But don't you all worry - although I'm not going to post so vehemently about things, I'll still let you know about the things in my life (good and bad). I'm not someone who things life is perfect and all is well in my little bit of the world. I'm not going to pretend either. :)
So having said all that, here we go!!
This post is dedicated to Mom Little - who just seemed so sad to not have me posting anything. :) I know that you have all missed me (hahaha) but she seemed so distraught the other day. Genuinely suicidal because she craves my wise words and funny antidotes!! So yes, here is more of ME!!!
The good:
We are all doing well. Nobody has killed anyone (yet). The weather in Phoenix is AWESOME!!!! I bet we'll even be able to put the pool up for my Paigy in April. Keep praying for April sun (and no kids have their prayers answered like Jen's when it comes to the weather).
What else? positives, positives I love my Primary kids!! I am so grateful for where I am at in my life and love my family dearly. :)
The bad:
Had a horrendous fight with Judo lady (and not even about her dumping her rotten kids on Elizabeth). It was something totally different and it was BAD. We are no longer friends - sie lavie (or however you spell it).
I was watching a comedian the other day and he mentioned about getting older and how he has reached a new stage in his older, wiser age. He doesn't talk to Stupid People anymore. I totally related to this!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been feeling a lack of patience for people than I had when I was younger. I've been cutting the fat so to speak. And I honestly don't feel this need to have these kinds of people in my life.
I've been frustrated with the Scouting program as well as our Stake Leaders in the church. I'm trying to be meek and mild (not so easy these days - seems my shovel is Super Glued to my hand).
I've had some situations with the school too. Nothing with the teachers or staff or things like that. Just with the School District right now. I've got to go to some meetings and find a few things out before I decide where I stand.
I've been VERY frustrated with our Primary kids' parents!!! Wednesday nights are HORRIBLE during and after Scouts and Achievement Days. HORRIBLE!!! Parents let their kids run all over the place like freakin monsters!!! They expect us to watch their kids while they are doing their own things. It even carries over after our activities are done.
This next Wednesday we are lining up chairs in the hall and after our activites are done we will be telling the kids to sit in the chairs until their parents come and get them. Then if we see kids running around after their parents have gotten them then we will take them by the hand to Mommy or Daddy and say, "Your child is running around in the church. They need to stay here with you." And I honestly don't care at this point what people think of me. I don't talk to Stupid People!!! hahaha
The Ugly:
Nothing really in that area. Except for my behavior on Wednesdays dealing with difficult children (not mine)!! :)
So that it is so far. My life - changing, yet fun!!
