Moon over my Abby

My poor sweet Abby has been scarred for life. The other day I was in a huge hurry to get out the door. I had just finished doing Jillian's hair in my bathroom and while I was doing her hair Abby was picking through the earrings that she could wear. I still needed to take a shower and was focused on getting everything done and getting out the door. I took Jillian off the counter shooed her out of the bathroom, went back in, shut the door, and walked toward the toilet while pulling my pants down. All of the sudden I heard a little voice behind me calmly and quietly saying, "mom, should I go out?"

I spun around realizing that I had forgotten that Abby was in the room. I had completely mooned her. I quickly started trying to pull up my pants. Abby looked at me while backing out of the bathroom with a mortified expression on her face.

I started shaking with laughter and, while holding onto my pants with one hand, shut the door behind her. After I had gone to the bathroom and pulled up my pants, I went out of my bedroom and looked down the hall. Abby was sitting in the bathroom at the other end of the hall staring off into space. I looked at her, and upon seeing the dejected expression on her face, knew she was officially scarred.

"Abby" I said, "you don't need to be embarrassed, it is me that should be embarrassed."

She just looked at me, blinked, and shook her head. This, of course, just sent me into more bouts of laughter.

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...
