Busy Busy

Today was such a busy day...and on a typical busy day for me I end up melting and exhausted by 4...but I just kept trekking along...I think it's the exercising...I've worked out everyday but Tuesday, but I was busy then too...so I count that as a mini workout!
I was able to help Sara clean her townhouse...she's moving to Missouri with her new hubby! Sara was neighbor across the breezeway in our first apartments in Virginia! She and Max(her choc. lab) moved into a townhouse to be closer to work and for Max to have some grass of his own to poop on...and then we moved shortly after into our first home and we've stayed in touch. She's a dear friend I hope we continue to stay in touch. She treated Christie and I to lunch after cleaning...speaking of cleaning, we did such a kick bootie job she got all her deposit back! Special thanks to Emily for taking Sydney!
I am up late .... needing to clear my mind before bed...and after having watched Grey's Anatomy. I soo love that show...was almost going to stop watching it if McDreamy really died...I really dig him he's so DREAMY!
Christie had a VCUG done at the hospital Tuesday...don't know what the VCUG stands for but they were checking for reflux in her bladder area and it showed a slight reflux in her left side of her bladder area...but there is nothing they are going to do or that needs to be done at this time. Good to know...incase she gets another UTI I guess. She's doing great with the work we are doing with her. The occupational therapist comes often and works to show me some exercises and what not to help her develop better...she's getting there...she's a joy in our home and to everyone who meets her!
My heart and mind have been in some other dimension lately...especially since the day I was introduced to the blog of Nie and Carol (by way of Nie's sister's blog) and wow...I am totally reminded of the hymn EACH LIFE THAT TOUCHES OURS FOR GOOD...
WE, everyone here on this EARTH is so precious to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I fail to see that often! Why? I was moved by something I read in the Ensign not too long ago about "the natural man"...and it is what we are and what we must "put off" and become like a "little child"....I sooo love what my children teach me daily. They are my HIGH every day!
I enjoy asking my children what was your HIGH today? (got that off of JUNIOR'S GIANTS) and I usually hear...I didn't get my marker moved! and then I ask if they had a LOW...and I have to tell them it's okay to not have a LOW and they get that and it's great to hear that they didn't have a low...but it's great to talk about it when they do...
I love it when Sydney kisses my elbow or back and say's softly "I love you"....and I love it when Mike slaps my tail end...it's his endearing way of letting me know he thinks I'm hot! hee hee. I love it when Jaimie talks fast...and when Kassidy dances...and I love how Christie is soothed just by my touch. I love it when I have more moments like these...where I think of all the blessings in my life...and when I can randomly just spill my thoughts. I know I'll have a good night sleep!
I miss my family tremendously...especially here shortly as Jaimie will be getting baptized. Jaimie is so understanding and we're planning to let you know how her special day was for her!
Well, it's almost midnight and I am really feeling tired...I think I took my workout energy drink a bit too late...
TGIF....I can nap tomorrow...no big plans...it's gonna rain all day anyway...supposed to...and Mike's going to be camping in it! He and the scouts are canoeing? is that even a word? I hope the rain eases up for them...or doesn't rain....But I am kind of hoping it does rain bad...so that I won't have to go to Jaimie's soccer game...if it's cancelled it'd be great...it's too painful to try and get to an early game by myself with tired kids.....but we'll do what we have to do....I am in charge of snacks...so we'll have to go...even worse if we do cuz we'll be in the parrot....Mike's beater car...I am always without the luxury of the suburban when there is a scouting trip. Bitter party of 1 (i stole that line from some chick of the Emmy's...but she said 2) I really am not bitter...just annoyed...or irritated...both!
Oh one more thing...our primary program is this Sunday and my girls have memorized their parts and a scripture...I have to by helping them...Kassidy starts out the program by saying
"Who am I? That is one of life's greatest questions. I know who I am! I am a child of God!"
it's cute cuz sydney pretty much has it memorized too and has on occasion helped Kassidy out!
Jaimie's part is "When I am baptized I will receive the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will help me make good choices that will lead me back to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus." She was getting frustrated because she kept saying reveal instead of receive....but she has it down just perfect and enunciates receive....and the scripture they say is 2 Nephi 25:26 "and we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ and we write according to our prophesies..." Great job and memory...they even beat me at the game MEMORY! No fair...I don't remember growing up....33 is the new 20...I just need my body to be that again!
Well, enough from me...luv luv
