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.

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Last week was a really tough week for our Bishop and family. First, my husband went out of town on business and it happened to overlap with our daughter and her babies visiting us. So, three days that she was here, he didn't get to see her. Then, he flew back into town Wed. around town and then we drove our daughter to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. Yes, that is early, and yes, we did go back to bed when we got home. ;o) Then he worked all day Thursday and I will spare you the details but it was a bad day. His non-boss boss was in a foul mood and he got the brunt of it.  Thursday evening he had the yearly ward audit and didn't get home until close to 10. Friday was another fun filled day at work, and then Friday evening and Saturday were filled with youth conference which he attended and was a chaperone for during the entire event. Sunday was a rough "bishop" day that he couldn't talk about, and quite frankly, I didn't want to hear about.  That leads us...

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 ...
