What to blog about....

I haven't blogged much lately. I keep thinking that I don't really know what to blog about. I feel like I live a boring life. Ok, so it isn't really boring but I feel like I do the same stupid stuff day after day. Wake up, try to become coherent for the next two hours, do some dishes, put in a load of laundry, get Jillian dressed, switch laundry over, take a shower clean something else in the house, get ready for work, go to work.

Day in day out it is the same. Really though there are changes in my day. Yesterday I got the chance to babysit for my cousin. She is moving up to this area from Ferron and is looking for a place to rent or buy. I keep hoping that she moves into our neighborhood. I love living close to family.

Then, as Sharla was leaving my sister Dione came to visit for the rest of the week. I love having visitors. i don't really think that I am a very good hostess though. I never know what to make for lunch. It ends up being a hodge podge mess instead of making people feel like they are well fed. i think I am going to work on this. It is so nice to have Dione here though. She is one of my best friends and we have seen each other through so much. She is unfortunately moving to New Mexico and I won't get the chance to see her very much any more.

Life changes can be so hard and yet just part of life. I have reflected on this much lately as 2 of my closest friends (Dione, and Lourdes) have recently moved, and then today is also the 1 year anniversary of the passing of another of my close friends Linda. Time goes by regardless of the various circumstances. We lose people we love but life keeps ticking by. At least I can still talk to Dione and Lourdes. Distance makes things harder but it doesn't stop communication. Death on the other hand does change things. I pray for my friend's children often as I think about the many things that will be missed. Baptisms, weddings, births, hardships, and no mom to help and see them through all of the good and the bad. I know the Lord has a plan though. Otherwise, this life would be for nothing. Why keep living if there wasn't a grand divine purpose to everything we do.

Anyway, back to the mundane. I work tonight. I guess this is the new normal for me. Tonight I get to squeegee floors, clean out hot dog bins, and serve a lot of pizza, but life is good because I have the blessing of a job. Up next on my list of new blog topics? How to clean a toilet. :o)

Thanks for letting me and my gang stay with you last week! I'm missing you already! I love the pictures you took of us saying goodbye and driving off. Especially the ones of your kids sitting in the road. That's exactly how we felt in the car!

Becky, it was so sweet of you to take my kids! You were a lifesaver! And I enjoyed chatting with you after. I am really hoping we will get into that house in SS. We should know for sure by Tuesday. And if not we'll still be in Lehi. I look forward to becoming close friends, not just cousins. I've always looked up to you! And I can't wait for that toilet cleaning post. ;)

I appreciate this post. I know you posted it a while ago but I needed it today. I really stuggle with change especially when it involves losing friends. I am just going to have to get used to it though.

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.

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.

day one.down for the count.

So in my typical fashion, I put a plan into action and then immediately have to deal with the changing of said plan. I went to bed dizzy last night hoping it was nothing and that it would pass as I slept. No such luck, this morning I got up and didn't stay up. So, three movies later I sit here on the couch with the best laid plans laid to rest. I was going to get up early, make breakfast, get dressed before 10, and send my honey off with a kiss and looks of devotion. Instead...Mark got up and I slept in, finally got up in time to stumble down the stairs, see the first set of kids off to school, and plant myself on the couch for the rest of the day. Mark gave me a kiss on his way out the door and instead of looks of devotion I had eyes welling with tears. Great day huh? Luckily I don't have any plans for today. Tomorrow isn't too bad, I don't have many responsibilities, but Friday I have an important photo shoot. This dizzy thing better go away!!!
