Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

You Know You're a Bad Housekeeper When.....

your husband does your job for 4 days and does better than you! :(
I've been doing the Holiday Shop at school for the past 4 days and Bret has been home with Livvy and everyday that I've come home the house has been cleaned and the laundry all washed AND put away! (sigh) Pretty bad huh? Some days it's all I can do to take a shower much less clean a house or do the laundry. I think that he's going to trade me in for a more effective model. :) Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to show him that I'm worth it to keep around? :)

Well, I was supposed to be at the Holiday Store again today - but last night was real bad and my back is really bad today. I have so much to do for Enrichment today and I don't want to be a painful mess tonight.

On a happy note - I've been released from one of my Callings @ church. Enrichment Leader. I just have tonight and then I'm done with that responsibility. I'm a little worried about how tonight goes. I always am. I really want the women to enjoy themselves. I think the hardest part to Enrichment is worrying about kids. It's hard trying to find someone to work in the Nursery and quite a few of the sisters have to bring their kids. Their husbands either work or have callings and have meetings on Thursday. I remember my old Bishop in the last Ward, he was/is such a wonderful man. Bret was in the Bishopric and I was the Enrichment leader and he made sure to not have any meetings on Enrichment night so that the brethren could be @ home watching the kids. That was such a blessing for me as the Enrichment Leader and as a mom who would have (and at times did) bring her own kids to Nursery.

Well, enough for now. I need to lay down and also get started on Cinnamon rolls for tonight.
