9th Weigh In

I hate to say it but after 9 weeks of weigh ins I think this is going to get really boring to read about. I need to start posting about something other than my weight. I have found that I got really lazy last week. I struggled to keep track of what I ate. A lot of that came from a week of constant on the go driving. Thursday afternoon I was actually in my kitchen having a snack and realized that I was actually home when it was light. Rachael had range last week from 6:30 to 8:30. Then there was cheer Mon. and Wed. from 4-6 and stunt group Wed. from 8-9. Mark and I also worked all weekend on a consulting project with a deadline that is looming. At this point everything else is a blur but all I can say is that I am exhausted!!! So, long story short, I didn't concentrate on writing down what I was eating. I think I did alright on my points. Not the best week but not terrible. With all of that being said I lost .4 of a pound last week. Disappointing but still in the right direction.

I am having a tough time mentally right now. I just don't want to have to stress about what goes in my mouth. I know that I am a stress eater so it is a good thing I am watching what I am eating right now. I am recommitting this week to measuring what I eat and writing everything down. I also need to find time for exercise. I know I have said it before but I know that would help me I just need time to do it.

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.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.
