The party went well last night. We had six kids including Makenzie and everyone had a good time. Only one boy though but hey, that was a 100% improvement from last month where we had none. We'll get there though. A boy I had never spent anytime around came and I loved getting to know him better. I know I need to have an attitude change about these get-togethers. The feedback from parents has been positive. I just feel very overwhelmed at times and it feels like "one more thing" but I know its worth my time so I'll shut up about it and put a smile on my face. Oh, we also had a non member come last night as well and that was super cool to get to know her.
Heidi and I played Disney sorry tonight. I rock at playing sorry. I told Heidi she didnt stand a chance against me. I was right. (Heidi says I have to mention how close she was to winning until I won at the last minute, i don't have to mention it but I did.)
I loved our lesson in Relief today. Prayer. I love how the teacher kept it super simple, writing on the chalkboard the main points of Elder Bednar's talk and having us read from the scriptures. I really felt the spirit.
The Amazing Race starts in 5 minute. I can't wait.
I love my husband and children. They complete me. I know it's cliche but forgive me for that please. I don't say stuff like that very often. In fact I've never said that before but I'm feeling that today.
I really wish that I was in Coos Bay visiting my mom and Ben this weekend. Ben isn't doing very well at all. It's really difficult for me that I live so close yet too far away to be there when things are rough. I have a TAG project team meeting tomorrow afternoon so I couldn't go with my sister this weekend.
not to self: do not apply for any district project teams next year.
In fact: and this is interesting for all of you to know. I'm not going to volunteer at all at the school next year. Crazy huh? I'm going from PTO board, TAG project team, Art literacy for two classes and partial coordinator, classroom coordinator, classroom volunteer to 1 hour a week in heidi's class next year.
I can't wait. I need to free up some of my time.
That's it for today. Phil is talking now. I always listen to Phil. (Phil of the amazing race)

It is so hard to balance life. We can potentially fill our lives with so many worthwhile and good things. You are doing a great job.
I love Phil's accent.
Good for you for knowing when to say uncle. You've done a lot for your girl's school, and volunteering in the class is good enough.
I've never watched Amazing Race but I know a lot of people who love it.
Glad to hear the party went well!
We had the same lesson today! I loved it - I have not volutered (sp?) much since we moved - my schedule was a lot like what you are giving up - it is wonderful to slow down!
I am so glad that you are dropping the school obligations- minus the hour a week. I had something else to say, but I forgot.
Who do you want to win? I love Amazing Race this is my first dedicated season!
The Sunday RS lesson was great. Another thing I loved about it....she ended a couple minutes early!! We beat the Primary kids in the hallway. I loved that.
I'm sorry you couldn't get to Coos Bay with Krista. It IS hard living close but not quite close enough to zip on down for the day. It is always a 'trip' when we travel to Eugene.
The Amazing Race is getting good. What did you think about that crazy fight from last week?
I'm doing the same thing at school. I just can't do everything!!! I had quite a few obligations this year and it really overwhelmed me in the end and I didn't do a very good job on any of them. :-(
I've learned, though, and won't over-schedule like that again!!!
