Life 365 | Week 20

Monday, May 10, 2010
may10I still wasn’t feeling very well today, but JJ seemed just fine, so the kids went to school. I didn’t accomplish very much. It ended up being a rough evening. I burned the corn chowder and the kids were fighting and having a bit of a hard time. But at least my rolls turned out good. I don’t think I will be having corn chowder again anytime soon – I ended up being up all night and throwing up in the bathroom.

may11Last night was completely exhausting. I haven’t been that sick in a long time. Today wasn’t any better. I didn’t eat a thing all day and still felt so sick. But the kids and Joey were fine. Joey got to go on a field trip with JJ and they went to Fishing Day at Salem Pond. The wonderful community puts it on every year for all the special needs kids. They get to fish and have lunch and they bring home a fish and a fun hat. This is JJ’s second year and I went with him last year. I’m glad Joey got to go with him this year.

may12On the mend but still not feeling real great. After school today, Beth and I spent a long time playing with her ponies and princesses. She loves it when I take the time to play with her and I need to remember to enjoy these little moments more.

may13Beth has discovered that if she sleeps on her braids and when they are dry, she gets curly hair! So I’ve been practicing french braids on her and I’m getting better!

may14It was Beth’s last Show-and-Tell at school today and she wanted to do something special. So we made some flower red velvet cookies and she gave them to her class. Everyone loved it!

may15A very laid-back Saturday! The kids played all day and Joey watched them while I got to catch up on some rest. Then we played and did puzzles and watched movies and worked on computers. I finally took advantage of a gift certificate that I won at Christmastime for a photo that I took of my kids and got a Fandango gift certificate. So we used some of it tonight and we got Aaron to come over and watch the kids (they were in bed for the night anyways) and Joey and I went to a movie. We saw Letters to Juliet and I really enjoyed it! It was nice to go out with Joey – we haven’t done that lately.

may16I taught the Sunbeams class today and it was good to finally make it back to church. Since we finished The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia) last week, we decided we needed to watch the movie for Family Movie Night. Our tradition is to watch half the movie – have an intermission and do dinner and then watch the last half of the movie. The kids loved Narnia and I can’t wait to read more of the books with them! Joey was great and volunteered to cook dinner and he made some lion head pancakes with scrambled eggs for the manes. He also tried his hand out at some other shapes too. He spelled out the kids names, he did an I Heart You pancake for me and a colts pancake for himself. But my favorite one that he did was a hidden Mickey pancake. So very cool!

Project 365 | Week 47

Monday, November 16, 2009
nov16Joey had to take off work today to try and fix things around the house and I am just an emotional wreck. For some reason our finances, the trailer, my computer problems, and everything has weighed down on me so hard and I just feel broken. I feel like I am at a fork in the road in my life right now. I’m struggling with so many personal things and I am really feeling depression/stress set in. Which way is the right way? Where do we go from here?

nov17Beth has really been into having “collections” lately. From rocks to leaves, she has to collect at least 10 of things to have. At least she is seeing the beauty of the earth. I especially loved the colors of this leaf that we flattened in a book for her to keep.

nov18One of the managers at Joey’s work had a birthday and she sent the balloons home for the kids. They were so delighted!

nov19Hard hard week. I’m trying so hard to see the blessings (which there are so many of), but my heart still just hurts and their are so many decisions to make. My hubby was amazing tonight. He got his brother to babysit for us and we went out. We really needed a date night to just be together and be away from our problems for a little while. We went to Olive Garden for dinner and then we went to see The Time Traveler’s Wife. I really enjoyed the book and I thought the movie was good too. We got home and the kids were asleep and as I was sitting on my bed, I just got an urge to do something for myself and since I knew Joey has no interest in the Twilight books/movies – and it being the night of the premiere – I just impulsively looked to see if their were any tickets to New Moon available. And there was – for the 3:30am showing and for some reason, it was just what I needed. The kids were asleep – Joey stayed home – and I could just get out for a little while longer. So I did it. It was crazy and I was tired, but I really enjoyed the movie.

nov20Tonight as Joey was headed up to SLC to do his podcast he called and said, “Go outside. You have to see the sunset.” So the kids and I bundled up and headed outside and I’m so glad we did. It was so gorgeous – I haven’t seen colors like that in a long while – deep pink, blue, purple and orange covered the sky! The picture doesn’t do it justice – but it made my heart feel a little better.

nov21Another down day. It helps to look at beauty like this.

Sunday, November 22, 2009
nov22Popcorn, a good movie, and my family. Life is good. Sundays are usually our family movie night and I really love being with my little family this way. It helps me to keep it together and remember the many blessings I have.

Beth is such a character! Her sense of humor mirrors her daddy’s and Joey gets such a kick out of that. She says the funniest things all the time and I need to capture more of these little fun moments.

Joey has never really eaten breakfast – even as a child. As he’s gotten older, it has actually gotten to the point where if he eats too soon after waking up, it makes him nauseous. This morning, Beth was sitting at the kid’s table eating a bowl of cereal, while Joey sat nearby working on his laptop.

“Daddy,” Beth said, “you forgot to eat some breakfast.”
“I didn’t forget, pumpernickel. Daddy just doesn’t eat breakfast.”
“Why not?” she asked.
“Well, I’ve just never been very good at it.”
“It’s EASY, Daddy – you just do like this!” Beth explained, moving the spoon from her bowl to her mouth several times.

I had the opportunity to attend a Relief Society fireside tonight and I am so glad that I went. David Osmond spoke to us about his life and about how the Savior and the gospel has helped him through trials. He has a wonderful voice and sang several songs to us as well that just really filled me with the spirit. While I was gone, Joey and the kids went to the playground and also rode on their trike/scooter! They haven’t been able to play outside much and the weather was finally perfect for it.

Could it possibly be Spring? After the snow and rain we have been getting it’s kind of hard to think that maybe Spring is finally here. These are some beautiful flowers that are in my yard that seemed to just pop up out of nowhere!

We met with Beth’s preschool teacher, Miss Megan today to hear her progress and I am so happy to report that Beth is excelling in her development. It was fun to hear from her teacher the little things she does at school and how well she gets along with her classmates. I thought it was really interesting that her teacher told me that Beth is the only girl that the boys in her class will play with. I think that is because Beth has a brother and they will play trucks and action heroes and stuff, so when she goes to school she is willing to play that with the boys too. But of course she still loves her dolls and dress-up!

While Joey was off playing racquetball and doing his podcast, the kids and I colored Easter Eggs. We did some glittery ones and some just colored ones, we applied stickers to some as well. The kids enjoyed seeing the egg go into the cup white and come out with color! I don’t know what we are going to do with them now. Growing up, we always went somewhere to roll our Easter Eggs. We would make the most awesome trails with tunnels and ramps to send the eggs down. But I don’t know where we would go to do that around here. So they will probably just end up going in the trash – oh well, at least we had fun!

What an amazing day! We got lots of great family time today. We went to lunch at a good burger place called Chadders and then we headed over to the Orem Library. We found some good books and were about to head to the checkout line when the fire alarm went off. Unfortunately we had to put our books down and head out of the building. The police, ambulance, and fire truck came and apparently there was some smoke. But we didn’t see any fire. We were a little disappointed that we didn’t get to get our books, but what can you do? Instead, we headed off to go see a matinee of Monsters & Aliens. It was a fun movie and I love being able to go to movies with my family. On our way home we went back to the library, but of course it was closed, so I guess we will have to get some books another day. We spent a nice night just playing and being together. I haven’t had such a relaxing and impromptu day with my family in a long time.

Happy Easter! It was also Bethie Girl’s 4th Birthday today. We decided to just celebrate Easter and celebrate Beth tomorrow. The Easter bunny found us and gave the kids a Leapster 2 with some games and so after church the kids spent a lot of time together playing games. They also got to hunt Easter Eggs around the house. We also watched a movie on Jesus and tried to teach the kids what Easter is all about. The Easter bunny also brought us the movie, BOLT, so we watched that as a family too. A good day!
