The Daily Grind

Okay, so not EVERY day goes as planned. Yesterday happened to be one of those days. The following is a run down:

6:00 am: Wake up, stumble to shower

6:20 am: Out of shower and feeling awake (sort of)

6:30 am: Wake up children (of course they are all so chipper)

6:35 am: Finally pry Ashley out of her bed and into the shower*

7:00 am: All have eaten and heading to brush teeth, comb hair, etc.

7:10 am: Read devotional (While Myles is falling asleep)

7:20 am: Try to start car, doesn't turn over, goes click, click, click

*Forgot to mention I was supposed to be at Levi's school at 7:30 to work in Student Store*

7:22 am: Call neighbor friend to see if she can take kids to school

7:25 am: Try car one more time, Levi notices the interior light was turned on. Thank you, Ronnie! 

7:40 am: Get kids into friend's car and off to school with Elle pouting**

7:45 am: Another neighbor gives my car a jump and it decides to work. Whew! 

8:00 am to 10:30 am: I am home doing random chores

10:40 am: Pick Ashley up from school, head to DMV

11:00 am: Waiting at DMV

11:30 am: Waiting at DMV....oh wow, they called my number!

11:35 am: DMV can't register my car until I have pink slip which is in transit from CA.

12:00 pm: Home and stayed there for the rest of the day!

* Some of you may wonder why Ashley has to shower in the morning. Well, natural curly hair, when slept on, ends up looking like dreadlocks.

** Elle was pouting because she didn't want anyone but me to take her to school. 

In all, I had an awesome day, really!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
