I am behind.
behind in my life (laundry, cleaning and grocery shopping)
behind in catching up with friends who live near and far,
behind in blogging,
behind in my sleep!
It is an overwhelming feeling. I don't like feeling behind because try as I might I can't get caught up.
Life has just been keeping us busy . . .
Life has just been keeping us busy . . .
We started school- Kate is in all day Kindergarten and LOVES it. She loves the idea of homework- and learning to read! Bless her heart- she has more enthusiasm than anyone I have ever met and doesn't have an "inside voice"- but her brown eyes melt me like butter.
Annie is in 2nd grade and is as close to perfect as they come. I wish that I could bottle her and keep her 8 forever. (guess that means that we also missed her Birthday since I was last blogging. We had 20 kids over for dinner, games and a movie outside. There was more drama than necessary, and fortunately Annie didn't get too caught up in it all.) Annie also got baptized on September 12th. We had aunts and cousins (and grandpa) in from out of town which made the weekend extra special. She is a soccer star and a great little reader and has recently taken up texting. I just adore the person she is becoming!
Meg goes to preschool 2 days a week and also to dancing. She LOVES dancing and wants to go every single day. For the first time- I am loving 2 1/2. (with my other two I was pregnant again and on bed rest- or had a new baby when I had a 2 1/2 year old.) Meg is so stinking fun, and cute and full of life and curiosity and love. She counts and sings and twirls and shuffles and laughs her way through our days. I love when she says "welcome" and "i love you too." The other day I was driving along thinking about how funny she is and I looked in the rear view mirror where she had a swim suit on her head! Silly girl!
I also got a new job back in June (working in my dad's office)- which means I now have 3 jobs in addition to being wife, mother and primary president. I thought I would work less at the hospital and more in the office but so far that hasn't happened. And although I used to be able to do it all. I can't anymore- nor do I really want to.
Please remind me to quit one or two of my jobs before I get the next one okay??
Now off to conquer the laundry!

Sounds like Dan needs to get off his duff and start helping.
I now need a nap after reading this post. Good luck. Want to go to lunch sometime between Nov 6-14? email me rachelalbertsen at hotmail.
You are a VERY busy woman! I'm not sure how you do all of that? Just being a mom overwhelms me somedays. Your girls are so cute and I wish we lived closer so our girls could play more! Way to go with the birthday party - that is a serious undertaking and with girls there seems to always be drama!
I'm exhausted just reading that post...Primary president alone would kill me off! Way to go and good luck all at the same time!
I can't get over how grown up Annie looks. Your kids are just so cute. I wish Abby & Meg could dance together. I think a vacation is in order for you.
You are amazing A! I love and miss you and your sweet girls- they really are so lovely. Hope you can take a break to come visit next Spring... seriously!
A, I miss you! Nice to hear whats going on. I don't know how you do it. And you are so good at it all...I have a disastrous house and only 1.5 jobs (mom and occasional nurse - ok preschool teacher today). I am trying to decide if I should clean up or go to bed. Do you have that dilemma? I'm still waiting for the George jettson house that cleans itself up. Someday.
LOVe you and those cute kids!!! So glad you are back to blogging. I have missed it!
yay so glad you updated! haha your kids are too cute i love them all sooo much :] and you and dan of course!! xoxo
No wonder you don't have time for blogging! But, knowing your skills, you can juggle it all :)
