Monday Monday (da da, da da da da)

Today Brad needed to go to the data center and decided to get lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of bonus points by taking the girls. Leaving a feverish, sleepy Max (teeth? ears? a cold? really wish he would just use his words and tell me what it is) and a very happy mama with nothing to do but the following:

Lighting scented candles to make it cozy (its.snowing. A. Gain)
Getting on his bike trainer (man that was a GREAT Christmas present.)
Shaving my legs (its winter so I kind of need to schedule it)
Taking a nap by the fire
Catching up on the laundry
NOT having PBS or QUBO on.

Before I forget to document this-my girls are slightly obsessed with all things Paddington. I think its wonderful that their imaginations continue to run beyond the book. From the writing his name in steam on the windows, tea parties on top of tables, fascination with marmalade and recently, opera. On a separate note, Amelia is going through a phase where she is calling me Mama Meatball. I kind of love it.

All you needed was a few squares of good chocolate! Hope Mad Max is feeling better and has a new tooth to show for all the suffering.

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 ...
