Golfing With the Family

Mark has been working a lot of crazy hours lately. Last week, in an attempt to slow down for a minute, he took a day off from work and went golfing. He was going to play the course and invited me to go with him and drive the golf cart. I thought that sounded like a lot of fun and that the kids would have a blast so I accepted his invitation and we went to the AF Golf Course together. Unfortunately, there ended up being a waiting line just to play on the course and then he would have had to play with 3 other men. I think the kids and I would have been quite the distraction, so Mark decided to hit a bucket of balls instead. Mark really wanted me to hit the bucket of balls with him but I kindly declined telling him that it would be similar to me asking him to learn how to quilt. Fortunately I had my camera so I had something to do. Two of my 3 favorite shots are listed last. I am excited to say that little by little I think my talent for photography is growing.

Sounds like a nice day out! Good idea while the weather's still good. By the way, I can't figure out what happened to your address that you gave me, could you email it to me again. I'm such a lam-o. Also, do you know how I can get on the Merryweather Family blog? I have also gone private but I'm not sure if I have the right email address for you but I want to invite you to view it. My email is sharlacarbine at gmail dot com. Hope to hear from you soon!

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.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
