My Dad's birthday is today, I called him and wished him love, shortly afterward I was walking through my living room and manged roll my ankle and fall hit my head on my couch and tore all the ligments in my ankle, that's right all of them. I am told it takes a special talent. So after I was lectured by the Dr. about stregnthing my ankles and told it would be 4-6 weeks until I had no pain, and a long list of other warnings, I will hobbling around on crutches for a couple of weeks, (if I have my way it will be a couple of days!) Please don't feel sorry for me, just please don't laugh at me! Loves!

Rawr!!!
I hate it when people Assume
Because when you Assume, you know the rest.

unreasonable.
Boo to you!! You know who you are!!

John's Mom was put in the hospital today, I hate that, the fear, the worry the look on my hubby's face. Like I cannot lose another parent this soon. I am praying for her to feel better and I hope it happens soon. Too tired to post more.

I don't feel good, Everything hurts, but I couldn't find a good enough reason to stay home today so I dragged myself to church and I am very glad I did. I needed it even though I still don't feel good, I feel better, someone tried really hard today to comfort me and feel better and they haven't don't that before, so I am really glad I went I needed to see them making that big of an effort. Happy sunday.

I decided today that 15 kids in one nursery class is too many. The End

1-16-10

Today is the day my computer decided to be infected with a horrible virus and subsequently cause much grief and tears in posting the cast list. I have spent the better part of the day calling children who could not find their name on the list at all. Crying after each and every phone call, I hate messing with kids self esteem.

1-15-10

My mom's bank where she works closed today, it makes me very sad for her and very angry because it could have been prevented, I want to fight this battle for her but I can't. I am continually amazed at her stregnth, I don't know how she does what she does. Love you mom!

After auditions for the school musical I never want to hear these songs again.
1. Love Story by Taylor Swift
2. You belong with me by Taylor Swift
3. Fireflies by Owl City
that is all

Porter: Mom I need to go on Dancing with the Stars.
Mom: Well, bud we can take you and get you some dance lessons if you want but that show is probably not where you would start.
Porter: No Mom I don't need lessons I just need to show out my moves!

Today at church I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Relief Society, and it was exactly what it said it was Relief! Relief from a crazy week, relief from being overwhelmed, and relief from feeling alone.

C and G


Jack Jack
Today was a day, I had plans and I actually got most of my lists done, for those who are keeping score but, I had things to do today but I had a better offer come along. I spent it the day with these three little cuties, plus my own kids we played nerf guns and read my favorite books (SkippyJonJones and The monster at the end of this book) I downloaded some really cheap music and managed to teach Jack to sing All the single ladies, All the single ladies with matching booty shaking. I say a victory of a day indeed.

A Tale of Two Lists


This is my attempt at balance, a balance between a good wife and mother, and being a good teacher, volunteer and student, is it any wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed?? This is a pretty small list for me but daunting nonetheless (why is that one word?) I am gearing up for a little come to you know who with the hubster and after looking at this list it is giving me even more ammunition. Now please don't get me wrong I am not looking for more, but when it is staring at me in the face HELLO!! Not that I have made clear my current beefs, but here is the gist of it.. Me: Grew up in single mom household, oldest child (believe me this matters), highly independent and pretty driven, if I see that it needs to be done I do it. It should also be stated that I say HURRY UP!! way too much! I am always in a hurry, promise and I hate to be late.
Him: Grew up in very stable home youngest child and pretty much only by the time he came around closest to him in 8 yrs, His mother is a saint and took very good care of him. Love her so much seriously!! He will do anything for anyone (well almost anyone) take the shirt of his back, and he forgives EVERYONE!! No matter what they do (this can drive me crazy, I can be very hateful) he is also very easily overwhelmed.
So he has recently complained to me that OUR kids do not respect him and this is somehow my fault because I treat him like a kid....to say that I was ticked would be an understatement, but I usually am more mad when he is right. Now while I am trying very hard to correct this behavior I am also going to have a little chat with him about his role in this.
MARS, VENUS sometimes they suck!! I will let you know how it goes, or maybe I won't I have never posted something like this about my hubster, Please Keep in mind I love him to death and we are not in trouble at all its just I am sure some of you have had some of the same problems. Advice Please?? Now how did this start?? oh yeah with two lists??? huh welcome to the mind of the woman!!!

Made me laugh


So this week in class in most of my classes we have been singing songs about Martin Luther King in prep for the following couple of weeks. Well today the second graders of a certain class really liked the song. These are always touchy songs to sing with them, and this is really an indication of where we live, because the song are very gospely (yep made it up) and mention God and Jesus quite frequently and I have to tell them its okay to say that in this song. Well the song is called Free at Last.
And the lyrics go something like this Free at Last, Free at Last Thank God Almighty I'm Free at last!
So funny to hear these little ones barely singing along and then after I explained to them who MLK was and what he stood for, the gospel gates we open and out they came after school I happened to be standing at the front door and proceeded to hear about six of them singing it at the top of their lungs. HILARIOUS!!! Little white kids gettin' the hallelujah!!

The musical begins, I have the oppurtunity to help with the school musical, it is INSANE!! Totally volunteer thing, I mention that only because when parents yell at me, I remind them that they are welcome to take over anytime, (haven't got an offer yet..) I have started school again and with work and the musical I am a little insane but only half as insane as the director. But here is a moment that makes it all worth it. Sixth grade class today, asking who wants to audition for the musical, now usually the male of the species scatter to all parts of the room avoiding eye contact but do you know how many boys wanted to try out 10!! 10 boys and that is just one class!! It is so worth it to see these kids do something they love and they are proud of, there little spirits are contagious you can't help but smile. I am reminding myself of this because next week I will want to choke same said boys! But there is nothing better I love this, I really do!!

Sorry I am a day late but my post is actually my reason, I just want to shout out to girl time.

Well at least the nice ones.

Something I wish I had done when I was younger.......Pulled a couch up to the top of a snowy mountain and rode it down. AWESOME!

Welcome to the New Blog

So here is my start of this blog, I have seen many versions of this idea but I am trying to make it my own, So here is the deal, I will post my glance at life everyday, my hope is that it will be a picture, but I am not that delusional to know it probably won't happen so sometimes it might just be a thought I have for the day, quick and short and to the point. But my stab at keeping my thoughts daily in check and on track, on track physically, spiritually, etc. Visit if you'd like as always I heart visitors and comments. Happy New Year Everyone!!
1-1-10 This kid is my soft spot, I love how he will pose for me and my camera no matter what he's doing. What a wonderful way to start the new year, with family, friends and nature. Blessings abound!
