{Tuesday's 10 rambling thoughts}

1. pet peeve.... why are companies starting calenders with a Monday instead of a Sunday? just plain confusing to me or anyone born since like last week really why? why?

2. Miss L has an official name for her eye color called "glasz" who knew Google it its legit she has beautiful eyes yellow gray and green and her's has a dark gray ring around her pupil........ which she inherited from her birth mother who has the same color and they are uniquely beautiful:)

 Looking forward.....

3. I had my first job interview yesterday an hour after my babies went off to school just as a sub for the schools here. Grades 8/6/4/1 its weird being in a new phase of life watching them all run off excited to start another year, as excited I am for them......there were a few tears.....

4. I sit here wondering what after 14 years do I have to offer? I am a mother a women of many talents all at the same time you know cook taxi keeping the ship afloat..... BUT What do I like to do? Who exactly am I? Do I still got it? I feel old? Am I ? How did we get to this point? I'm halfway to dead this year ha ha j/k but 40? whoa what? Makes one do a lot of thinking. YET there's nothing I love more than my kids and family..... being here for them while they are young it's what I want and can do.  

I want to raise these littles to be amazing contributions to society, life and faith... To be strong, intelligent & hard workers who have convictions and a burning testimony for what is right in a world gone so wrong. 

Being here leading, guiding and walking beside them is my biggest goal. We waited a long time for these children and we have a big job I intend to look back on and know that I did all I could for them. Of course its all about improving along the way none of us is perfect especially not me I'm working on patience and being calmer and being a better example because we all know its not what we say its what we do and how we do it.. thats our job:)

"OUR ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN OUR WORDS"

5. Sometimes its hard being a bishops wife not complaining here just stating facts.... people ask me a lot what its like if its hard and sometimes honestly it is. You lose friends... people say to much .......or assume you know their problems for the record I honestly know nothing!  You get invited to a lot less. People watch you, expect you to be perfect .....expect things of you like if you didn't smile, talk or sit next to the right people and leave no one out ..... chances are you probably offended someone never intentional that is for sure! I sometimes find it hard carrying on a conversation if I don't know you that well just me not you. We aren't all made the same I could serve more, take gifts, meals and serve all day long. I wish I was more like that. I try but I'm far from perfect. BUT I also have a family to care for who have a father who dedicates his time and talents to a ward family and that TAKES A LOT of time. I love our ward family and pray for them daily but I have my four littles to watch teach and protect too.... I'm where I'm needed filling in the gaps and helping things to run smoothly while my kids have less dad time.

6. I get to be be a vendor in the WHAT THE JUNK Vintage Market in a few weeks so I'm changing a few things..... upgrading..... and have lots of new stuff I'm working on:))  I even ordered business cards for my non business haha:) But it will be lots of fun!  Mark it one your calenders:) Come:)

7. Made these for the kids yesterday on their first day home from school snack all of them loved them they did not turn out pinterest pretty but they weren't to shabs:) {not my picture}

8. Found these daily questions on the blog house of smiths.... to ask the kids after school so we made it our dinner conversation material last night it was amazing like actually they talked, K2 got sad for a minute because he missed mom at school but it was really helpful and informative and made them really think about their day. I'm excited to keep it up everyday its important to get them talking and for all of them to listen to each other. I think having more empathy for each other only cultivates an awareness of looking out for each other and in turn feeling more love for each other and understand each other a little better in the process.....

its worth it.

Have a great week:)
