My dirty little secret...

So I have a confession to make.
I am not Perfect.
I try to keep a clean and organized house but I do have one (read a couple) of areas that are not so great.
We came home from our trip and bossy Brad refuses to help me get the girls room ready and organized until I face the demon that is my pantry.

But here's the deal. The pantry didn't really bug me. The system is as follows...No system. Many bags of almost eaten things so Brad doesn't say, "Did you eat all of the ____________________(fill in the blank). Stuff stuffed where it fit. Only 2 rows of usable space.

Since Bossy Foreman Brad was being so unreasonable about letting me keep the pantry like this I caved to his heavy demands.

Behold the before:



The during:


(Note: Trader Joe's is so wierd. I bought All Butter Shortbread cookies with Raspberry or Apricot filling. I opened the bin and BEFORE I KNEW IT half of it was gone. It's like they magically put a spell in the package so that after eating what I am sure was 2 or 3 they are all half gone. Wierd.)



And the AFTER:


Brad and I actually had fun doing this project together, He's a great but demanding partner.

Funny, I saw picture number two of BEFORE, and I thought it was picture number one of after. Needless to say, I wasn't really impressed. However, the actual AFTER looks awesome! I'm excited to come over there and eat the organized food of yours!

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...
