Before i forget

Today after Brooklyn finished her bath she told me she had to go to the bathroom.  I humored her and sat her on the toilet... But this time she actually went!  Hooray for Brooklyn using the bathroom for the first time.  I thought it was noteworthy.

Overextended

I feel like Gumby as of late.  I am being pulled in so many directions at the same time.  I have so much to get done in the next few days that it is a bit overwhelming. 
On Thursday I have a relief society activity... At the same time as Alexis school recital.  Thankfully David has the day off and can take her.  I feel bad missing it but I don't know what else to do. 
James and Wendi get here on Thursday as well so the day was spent getting sleep arrangements figured out.  I feel like I live a blurry anymore.  I'm wondering how much "merry maids" cost to help me stay afloat.   Maybe someday.  I keep hearing the phrase "hastening the work" and today I feel it.

A day of rest-ish

Today we got to sleep in.  Okay... Well we could have at least. Today was the Gilbert temple dedication.  We went to the 3p session.  Alexis was able to attend and she was so excited.  Being a big kid has been a big thing for her. She tries to be so grown up and in reality she really is growing up to fast.  She left the dedication with a huge smile and said she felt so happy. It was priceless to be part of the dedication with her. 
A few things I was prompted to work on:  better temple attendance, family history, better relationship with Timothy, and more spiritual time at home. 
Time to focus on what matters most.  Good day overall.  Especially after I got my migraine under control.  Now to sleep with a system full of caffeine... But at least my head doesn't feel like it is exploding.  Moving forward and onward.  Tomorrow will be a busy one.

Alexis had a rough day. Two more teeth pulled and more braces will be added next week.  She cried for the first time at the dentist today.  Makes my heart sad... So I may have added a few more cents from the tooth fairy.  She has a big gap in her smile that she tried to joke about by pushing her tongue through it.

Brooklyn melts my heart with her genuine hugs and love.

Timothy tries my patience.  Tried to lie about practicing piano just to get a penny treat.  Trying to teach him truth every day but wonder if he hears a word I say.

Attended funeral of good family friend today.  A good man who raised amazing children.

Key got stuck in ignition of van and therefore doors would not lock.  David saved the day and got key out... But the bigger problem is yet to be solved.

Crazy day.  Tiring day.  Day is done.
