Addictions

Have you ever had an addiction to something that you used to purposefully keep you from doing what you should be doing? My current addiction is Word twist on Facebook. It is a great game and quite franklyit is much better than all of the cleaning and organizing that I should be doing.

In the past I have used reading, solitaire, tv, big projects, detail organizing, errands, and the list goes on and on, as things to do to keep me from what I should be doing. I look at what I have ahead of me and dread every second of it. I then find something that I find a better or more fun thing to do and I do that instead.

So, like I said, the current thing is word twist. I broke everybody's highest score and blew everybody out of the water with a whoppin' score of 106. I consider myself the Phelps of wordtwist. Yep, I got the oplympian sensation as I scored higher than anybody else by 10 points. Hee hee. :o) I really probably shouldn't be proud of this because it proves that I have been on the game way too much, but I am going to take my accomplishments where ever I can find them.

Nice Olympic sensation. After you broke my high score on Word Twist I kind of felt like the French team that lost to Phelps and the Boys. Thought I was all that...then you quietly came up and blew me away.

I've never tried Work Twist but I can relate to wanting to do anything but clean house. I'm telling everyone that dust is my new art medium.

Oh man! I thought I was doing good by having a high score of 100! Of course, I've also only played it about 10 times. ;) I am just like you! I was halfway through the dishes and now here I am....

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...
