You know you are old when....

Your eight year old ducks down while you are dancing to the radio in the car and she mumbles quietly to herself "I am not her child, I am not her child"

Notes

Lost of changes in our family, how do you count the ways... 1.Bryon got released from the Bishopric. 2.I got put in as YW President...Again. 3.Bryon started an EMT class 3 nights a week. 4. I had back surgery in August for one of 3 problems that have been plaguing me all year. 5.Rebekah turned 13. Because Bryon schedule upset and my upset, I am not able to work at night anymore.  I am opening the building at 4:30am 2 days a week.  I have a 30 minute commute most of the time.  So I have to leave my house at 4AM!! This means I am not able to be at the house when the kids wake up.  Luckily Bryon goes to work later those days so he gets everyone out the door. In order to keep in touch with the kids I do a few things when I am gone. 1. Call Rebekah to get her up.  I love the sleepy voice and moans when she answers the phone. 2. Usually call the boys at 7 depending on how busy I am. 3. Try to leave a note for the ones who can read. I came home at 9:30 ...

Seriously, who cares right?? 2 nd - Other people we love are on there first, way more important. 3rd-The issues with my lungs still hasn't been completely resolved, but when the OB told me I should probably wait, it was already too late. 5 weeks too late. 4 th -After a friend lost her own baby so close to delivery, it really seemed like a bad time. But then Bryon got to talking to his brother about the Bow Hunt. Of course I will not be attending this year, being due the week before.

It is always good to count your blessings. Especially when you have a day like today. So let the counting begin. 1)Car-glad I have one so I can take my kids wherever and go shopping when needed and to collect all the food, dirt, shoes, jackets, homework makeup games and toys the kids don't need right away. 2)Peace-Jack is really good in the shopping cart so I can take a long time with a big shopping list. 3)Coupons-We have saved a ton of money since discovering how to use them. 4)School-My kids go to a great one, so it was okay that I couldn't pull out all the stuff I wanted to use coupons on that the cashier didn't scan and repay for them because Sam was getting out of kindergarten. 5)Lunchables-so no lunch was actually prepared 6)Porch-Ours is a nice size so when I dropped the apples while unloading groceries only one of them made it to the end and fell in the dirt. 7)Friends-Mine and the kids. We all have great ones. Probably the only bright side to the day. 8)A job-...
