{ Sometimes its lonely...}

Sometimes or every once in awhile lately I feel bored, lonely and alone...being a bishops wife is truthfully really hard some weeks ...besides the fact that he's gone pretty much all of the time and everybody needs him and in this day and age people call text or email his phone. {I'd love to throw it out;) I know there are blessings along the way but there's the other side too.... There's the fact that you get invited to less things, people stop talking when you come around sometimes..... or tell you things you know they want you to pass on. 

Sometimes you don't sit in the right place or smile at the right time or acknowledge the person you didn't even see. We're just human trying our best..... same as we've always been 

like everyone we all have our good days & bad days. We never know what people are going through and I try to remember that more than ever.

Sometimes I feel like everyone around me works or is super busy in their life and littles....while my little is only gone half the day he loves his quiet time after school and hates getting out or doing anything after being in school...this week alone he has spent 3 hours after school each day COLORING! pages and pages and talking and telling stories he is a child who entertains himself and I find myself begging to read to him or go the park...I guess so I can get out and he really just wants time at home quiet time....how I love that boy!!

I guess there is plenty to do around here but really laundry isn't that exciting and I get most things done for the day before 8 am as the kids go out the door.  Then at 4 on I'm busy rushing here and there, getting a snack, talking, dropping off at various activities and I feel useful 

{or like a cook & taxi ha ha} 

but I feel needed and they are my favorite times of the day when I'm here to hear about their day and we just talk...BUT its the in between I struggle with I guess its a transition period and finding my place..... me..... I will get over it by next year when its all day when I can sub at the school or whatever...but for now its quiet & lonely sometimes....

It'll be okay. 

We all have our moments good and bad... and right now this is mine.....

Kids:

Football is nearly done already crazy how fast time flies its amazing to watch the growth in our children as the time goes by to see them understand things and learn and grow. But the best is seeing them develop and see the right and wrong around them and learn from it.

We took the kids on a Sunday picnic to the ranch last sunday and enjoyed the warm sun and room to run... saw a beautiful sunset, threw rocks in the river .....saw elk, deer, and antelope, coyotes,  porcupines, skunks, cows and horses and enjoyed what God gave us and the stillness, peace and quiet of it all. 

So beautiful out! But most of all to take a breather and enjoy each other.

 

My cute sassy one decided she didn't want to grow her hair out anymore so she got a cute cute bob again it really does suit her so good....

Book

I love based on/true stories and I loved this book.... I love people and knowing their stories fascinate me as does this time era and having been to Germany and seen a lot there and met the people its amazing! I'm going to have K read it because it is the perfect example of what some have gone through without getting to deep....
