First Day of School

I know I have a lot of catching up to do but if I don't go with the current I will never get on track. So...I will write about the present and then backtrack as time permits. As a side note I have to explain that I do not have a router right now. I have a very short ethernet cable that I have plugged into the modem in the corner or my bedroom. This makes being on the computer difficult so until my furniture arrives mid September the joy of journal keeping (this is what I tell myself- joy) is slightly, actually drastically, less joyful. Sawyer thinks this is his time to climb all over me, the computer, the modem,cables, cords, etc... He just has to give me one of his ginormous grins though and he is totally off the hook.

So here are the girls on their first day of school- after school, like I could even think through getting a picture yesterday morning.




Ellyn's shirt says "I am who I am" and I can't think of anything more appropriate.

So we found out a few days ago that Jane's bus to the middle school does not come up onto the hill where we live in the mornings. We have to take her to Sadie's elementary school at 6:55. Boy was I thrilled to hear that. So I get up at 5:30 to shower and wake Jane up at 5:45, we get ready, and then at 6:40 we load the kids in the car and drive to the elementary school. Next week Ellyn will start taking the bus to her school so we will have to have her dressed and fed as well because her bus will come at 7:15. The good news is, the middle school bus stops by the elementary school in the afternoon and so Jane and Sadie get to ride and walk home together. They were so cute getting off the bus yesterday I could have just eaten them with a spoon.

So Sadie loved school. Of course. She was actually a little nervous yesterday morning. But she was very happy about her black sparkly shoes. We had to plan her whole outfit around them.

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
