Sadness is on the air.
This morning, as I finally got to sleep, our alarm went off 6:00 am and I was literally holding back the tears. Wayne Richards from KLCE passed away while vacationing in Hawaii. Jared and I have been waking up to him ever since we have been married. I never met the man but it felt like one of our close friends has passed away. It is funny how we love those we don't even know. I am a very emotional person, anyone who knows me knows I will cry over spilt milk. I will miss hearing his voice on those mornings when I have to pry my heavy eyelids open. It was hard for me to get out of bed most mornings because I didn't want to miss what he and Liza were going to say next. Liza has went into work this morning, taking calls and playing songs that are in memory of Wayne. I will keep her in my prayers. She teased that he was her work husband. She will be reminded of her friend everyday when she hears one of the commercials with his voice, has someone new in his seat and experiences things in her life that he would have been the one by her side.

Big mistake. BIG!
I don't know what I was thinking. I was just mindin' my own business this afternoon. Layin' on the couch, cuz that's what I like to do on Sunday afternoon and next thing I knew I had drifted off into dream land. Big mistake. BIG! Now I am up posting on my blog cuz I can't sleep. I have been layin' in bed for an hour and a half. Why else would I be up at 11:33? I should be gone....
I was asked to take another calling in church. I am now the primary chorister. This is very new to me. It has been about 8 years since I have even taught in primary. I think I am going to enjoy this job. I love kids, I like some kids more than others but I really do love them all. I love music. I only sing in the car or when I goof around with my kids. My husband thinks its quite amusing to know that I have to sing in front of people every week now. Maybe it will help me get over being so nervous in front of people any way. I feel like I am back in high school bringing up all those insecurities when I have to get in front of crowds and let them hear my voice, whether it be singing or even speaking. What the hell?
I am still the wolves scout leader too. I really am not sure what to think of that job. I was only put in at the end of school last year. We didn't do much scouting except for day camps, but so far I think it is a pretty fun job too. I told them if they couldn't find a replacement I would be happy to stay. I am planning to do a fair theme for our next pack meeting. We will do a pie eating contest, maybe catchin' some chickens, silly stuff like that. I don't like to go to those events and be bored and embarrassed by having to make those stupid cheers when you feel like you are the only idiot doin' em'.
Our cabinets were installed on Wednesday and Tony came to measure for granite. We figure we will be moving in about 3 weeks to a month. I am very excited about that. There is still a lot to do but it really is a reality we will live there soon.
Well I am going to see if I can get some sleep. I took an extra allergy pill. You know the ones that say not to exceed the dose recommended because they may cause drowsiness. I sure as hell hope they do cuz I need some freekin' sleep. Sorry there have been no pics lately. I will try to get some in tomorrow after the cabinet guys put all the fronts on the cabinets. I took before pics and now I will take after. Goodnight. (Hopefully)

Sorry!
I know that I have already posted today but I am trying to figure out how to link things like my recipes. I know that they are good ones, that means easy and that children will eat. Also places I shop and so on. If you want to share with me how I would appreciate it. Also I have tried to do a slide show. I am such a tard sometimes. HELP!!!!!!!!
Fast and Testimony Meeting
I don't know if I am going through a mid-life crisis or what. I feel like I am always in a whirlwind of emotions. Oh how I wish I could get a grip on my life sometimes.
Cami is still home from school. She has staff infection under her nose and is highly contagious. She went back to the doctor yesterday and is now on an antibiotic as well as a cream that has to be applied three times a day. Elli has had a horrible cough for the last month. They say is is a virus and she will just have to fight it off. They did prescribe a good cough medicine so I might be able to get some sleep. Elli sleeps just fine but when I hear her start coughing my instinct is to jump up and check on her, so that is what I do. I usually end up on the couch with her asleep on my chest. That way I can hear her breathing. Maybe this is why my emotions are on edge. I am definitely not getting enough sleep.
Tyler has been busy peeling logs after school with Dylan and TJ. They can make about $30 to $40 in an hour and a half. Not bad for a high school job.
Kody has been begging me to let him back to football practice. I told him when he can run on it without limping then I will let him. He slipped his meniscus (can't spell) in his knee. If he injures it again I am sure he will have to have surgery.
Hailey loves being in Mrs. Johnson's class. She is every one's favorite teacher. She always has the best stories. She has almost finished reading one of the Harry Potter books. I can't wait to move on to another one and I have threatened her with her life and everything in it, if she reads another one of those ridiculously long books. She looses interest too fast and would rather read some girly book.
Lexie is taking violin from Melanie Moulton. She is a great teacher and Lexie is always excited to see her. We are going to start working on letter sounds. She really wants to learn to read.
I will have to post some pics next time of our house. We are so close but it seems so far away. I love this house. It is not my dream house but I love it.
I really do need to be so thankful for a great family. Especially my parents. They are such a great support for me. They act as though I am the best mom ever and that my kids are perfect. I hope that I will think the same about my family. I truly love being a mom. It makes me want to run away on a daily basis but for the most part I love being with them more than with any one else in the world. I am also thankful for old friends who are still very dear to my heart. I never feel like they are judging me for the kind of clothes we wear or the kind of house or car that we drive. I love them even though I don't see them often. I am also thankful for being able to serve in my church callings. I need to serve others because I know I have been blessed beyond any of my comprehension. WOW! what just got into me. It sounds like fast and testimony meeting today. I truly am blessed. Ta Ta!
