Monday Blues

I hate Mondays. I think it has something to do with a week of work ahead of me. With 6 kids the homework is overwhelming and then there are all the places to be, appointments to keep, etc. It makes me tired to look at the calendar for the week. So, who knows why but here I am on a Monday morning feeling particularly ornery. I think I need a change of attitude. Surely, Monday can't be as bad as I have made it out to be. Ok, so on that thought I am going to list good things about Monday.

1. The kids are gone so I can get the house picked back up after the weekend.
2. I didn't get sick so I could go to the gym this morning.
(I am stretching it, this is harder than I thought)
3. Ah, the house is quiet for a moment (see number 1)
4. New week new opportunity for growth?
5. ?

Alright, I think I am done for now. On to the next thought.

Have you noticed that Drew Carey is such a nerd? The morning news just ended as I am sitting here writing and The Price is Right show just came on. So, Drew Carey is the new host and I can't believe he ever got to star status. Bob Barker at least had a presence of refinement about him. And, I can't believe with my memory that I just pulled Bob Barker's name out of my head. Shocker! I do need to clarify though that I don't watch The Price is Right. Boring!

So, I am going to start my day now and my goal for today is to work on being positive. Wish me luck.

Cute header! I agree that I have a love/hate relationship with Mondays! I hate that my house is a disaster after the weekend, but I love getting it clean and back in order! And the semi quiet part- someday!!!

Officially in the Limelight!

I had an interesting experience this evening. Without divulging more than I should, let's just say that I was told that people in my area are concerned that I have not kept my information about the stake changes private until the appropriate time. They were concerned that because I dated my blog post for the date of my writing some people thought that I had said something before the stake split announcement. Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good.  I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Battling Anxiety and Depression With Christ on my Side

I have been pondering this topic for over a week and still don't think I can express fully the depth of my thoughts.  I write of which I intimately know and battle every day, that of depression and anxiety.  These life debilitating illnesses sometimes rule my life, and sometimes I rule them.  I go through times in my life where I feel happy and content, and other times where the weight of my flaws brings me so low. Yesterday was the final straw of an emotional drain that I have felt as of late.  Any of the events in and of themselves shouldn't have been enough to put me into a tailspin and yet today it was more than I could handle.  Let me preface my day's events by saying that there are things I won't write about due to the privacy that my husband and children deserve, so most of what I write about concerns only me.  With that being said, we have been battling some big issues in our family and that has already made me feel quite frankly like I am failing...
