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

When life gives you lemons.....

Make lemonade!!! That is exactly what I'm doing right now - making lemonade (literally). I got 3 cases of lemons on Wednesday night and today I am juicing them; making lemonade, lemon water and lemon Mt. Dew (yes, truly - and it's yummy). I am also drying lemon rinds with a little clove for potpourri, making lemon decorations, and going on the internet to find all lemon related recipes.
I'm doing all this today because tomorrow I'm getting 5 more boxes (at least, maybe more). :)

I LOVE lemons!!!

In other Little news, I have been BUSY (understatement)!!! This week I've been working the Holiday Store at the school. I did it last year, but this year I was in charge. So I was there the entire time. With and without kids. Do you know what it's like trying to keep 4 kids from destroying an entire school after it has closed? It's hard!!! On the evenings when we were doing the store, my kids (along with 4 others) broke a radio, shorted out a room (almost electocuting themselves), spilled apple juice on the carpet, and beat up Santa!
What a week (glad to be done)!!! I just have to go back on Monday to count up the money. We better have made a LOT!!!!

There is still so much to share with you all, but I have to get lemons done, 4 reports for school, laundry, and a house to clean. Besides, I have to hurry and get off the computer before Bret comes down the stairs and sees me goofing off. :)

Hang in there, your a trooper. More people envy you than you probably realize and know. Your a special gal with a special heart and spirit and when times are tough you keep on ticking... Just sometimes we have a little edge in our step to put it nicely. I know you know what I mean.
