Today is one of those days I just feel "blah".

I'm bored. I'm hungry. There's all these things I should be doing but  I don't want to. There's lots of things I want to be doing...but I'm not. I have a headache. We are trying to buy a home and its so stinkin stressful. and time consuming. 

My husband is gone all the time. Last week he was gone 12 hours monday, and 15 hours Tues, wed, and Thurs. This week isn't looking much better. Well 2 12 hour days and then 2 15 hour days, and then all day friday and saturday for choir retreats. And it wont end this week. or next week. or the next week.It will end the end of may when the school year ends. Thats when life gets really crazy. Abe and his family are notorious for doing spontaneous  and crazy things. Yeah thats going to be my summer.

Last week I had a really sad day. Chloe fell asleep on the couch and I had about 30 minutes until other kids got home from school. I filled up a bowl with water, grabbed my ipod (which I always forget how much I love, love, love that little thing) and sat in a chair in the warm sunshine and closed my eyes and relaxed as long as I could. I ended up with a sunburn and soft feet. And I felt a little bit better. but not much.

Hmm I didn't mean this to be so depressing...in great news...we are continuing our family reading of the Book of Mormon. We started last June. Last week we finally finished 1 Nephi. YAY!! It was a great accomplishment in our home. I feel like its a crack-up that its taken so long. Its a great book for beginnig readers casue there are so many little words...and...it...came...to...pass...with big words mixed in with the easier ones. Well Chloe also likes to have verses she reads. So someone will read a few words and she repeats it. Just last night, heres how it went:

Wherefore he is

"wherefore he is"

the firstfruits

"the grapes"

Lots of sillyness in our home.

 My brother-in-law is leaving soon for 3 months for China leaving his wife home with a month year old baby, 3 year old and 5 year old. It has really made me reminisce about the years that abe was gone with the military. I spend alot of time alone. And raising baby alone. I remember watching couples around me and how disrespectful and unappreciative they were of each other. For those of you who are married, hold hands. dance in the kitchen. enjoy the time you have. cherish the time you have together. You never know what the future will hold in store for you.

Well, more exciting  and hopefully not depressing things will come next time. I think I'll make cinnamon rolls. Hopefully that will cheer me up. i love you!
