Life 365 | Week 12

Monday, March 15, 2010
mar15I spent the day lounging in my motel room with take-out food, hot shower, a book, and my computer. I did a lot of thinking, resting and playing. It was wonderful. Meanwhile, Joey and the kids got to go to a play based off the children’s book, “If you give a Mouse a Cookie.” The kids LOVED it. They also went to school and then enjoyed an evening with Joey. I’m so grateful for such a great family!

Tuesday, March 16, 2010
mar16I came home at 5am. I was ready to be with my family. It was a busy day with laundry and cleaning up the house from being away.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
mar17Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I discovered last night that I didn’t have anything Green for Beth to wear. The only thing we had was a yellow stripe shirt that did have some green in it. So we went with yellow-green and I made Beth a green bead necklace and beads for her hair. She was so excited to be so decked out for school! JJ and Beth had a great time at their fun St. Paddy day activities. I spent the day busily trying to get some things done – like getting my van inspected (didn’t pass) and trying to find a side marker lense for an old van. Hopefully we can figure something out. Joey was able to work from home today because his foot was hurting pretty badly. It was nice to have him around!

Thursday, March 18, 2010
mar18Beth has been on a puzzle streak lately and we only had 1 puzzle in the house. So today we took a trip to the store and found some puzzles. A big horse one and a Disney puzzle collection that had 8 puzzles in it. JJ, Beth and I spent hours today on doing this 550 piece puzzle. The kids went to bed and it still wasn’t done, so Joey and I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning getting it finished. Silly us – but it was worth it in the morning to see how excited Beth was!

Friday, March 19, 2010
mar19Joey came home a little early today and treated us to ice cream at a fairly new shop here in Orem! It was a lot of fun – it was self-serve and you could get your choice of flavor(s) of yogurt/ice cream and they had all these bins of toppings that you just could add whatever and you paid by the weight. Yummy! Afterwards, Joey went to do his podcast and the kids and I had a quiet night at home.

Saturday, March 20, 2010
mar20JJ and Joey spent the day finishing up their Pinewood Derby Car. They had to get it weighed and handed in tonight and so they had to get it done. I think it turned out great. JJ was so excited to get to help. Beth did some puzzles and played while I worked on my computer for most of the day. We went out to eat at Training Table for dinner and it was really great not to have to cook!

Sunday, March 21, 2010
mar21After church and naps, we decided to go to Chuck-a-Rama for dinner – they have lots of great comfort foods on Sundays so it was nice. We came home and since it was already almost bedtime we needed something kind of short for Family Movie Night. We decided to watch a part of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, since we are reading it. We watched up to when the kids meet the Beavers – since that is where we are in the book right now. I think it really helped the kids to comprehend the book better.

And here is my weekly layout:

Life 365 | Week 11

Monday, March 8, 2010
mar8My mission this week was to get the house in order. I’ve been just picking up lately and not really cleaning. It all started with the kid’s bedroom today. I had to snap a photo because it’s usually only this clean for 5 minutes. Everything is in its place for the moment.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010
mar9More cleaning and designing today. In School this week, Beth’s learning about rainbows and yesterday she brought home this dandy. We hung it up on the fridge today and Beth just beamed. I love it when she’s so happy.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
mar10We’re trying to accomplish JJ’s reading chart this month – we only got the chart on Monday – so he can get a free pass to the Seven Peaks Water Park. We’re on a roll so far! We’ve been reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It’s the first longer book that we have ever read to the kids so hopefully they are comprehending it.

Thursday, March 11, 2010
mar11More cleaning and designing again. Beth and I hung at home all day and had raman for lunch.

Friday, March 12, 2010
mar12The kids coughed all night long and so they stayed home from school today. We finished getting the house clean and I made meatballs, spaghetti, and breadsticks for dinner. Pete came down to our house for the podcast tonight so it was fun to have him here.

Saturday, March 13, 2010
mar13Kind of a weird day today. It started with sleeping in and snuggling with Joey – so great. It was an overcast/rainy day and Joey suggested I do something that I haven’t done for a long time – so I went for a walk in the rain. It used to be something I did a lot, but I haven’t done it in years. I’ve been struggling lately in so many areas and a walk in the rain is such a good remedy. I was gone for a couple of hours and it just wasn’t quite long enough to face all the things that I’ve needed to think about, but I just didn’t have enough time. JJ had his first friend birthday party to go to and he really enjoyed that. The kids did some painting and watching movies and JJ and Joey started working on their Pinewood Derby Car.

Sunday, March 14, 2010
mar14The kids still have colds, Joey has a cold, and I was up all night with heart burn and a stomach ache. So once again, we stayed home from church. Joey and JJ worked a bit on their Pinewood Derby car again and did some reading together. I stayed in bed with a flu bug. And then Joey gave me a special present – a night away from responsibility. I am here in a hotel in Provo, all by myself. Just me and my computer. I’m still pretty sick, so its not the most relaxing time in the world – but it really is something that I have needed. Some time alone to think about things. I’m sick of being stressed and depressed. I truly just want to be happy and hopefully this little getaway will help me find that.

And here is my weekly layout:
week11I used my FriendZ from the Wood & Digital 365 to create this layout!
