I Do Have Other Children, I Promise.

I was looking at my blog today and noticed that all my posts have been about Rachael lately. Ok, so do you think I have a little issue of her leaving the nest on the brain?

My other kids have been wonderful too. Jill is showing her independence with vigor lately. I have been up much too late working on homework, getting the house in order, and supervising lovebirds. So, since Jill was still asleep after the kids left this morning, I decided to go back to sleep for awhile too. I woke up about an hour later and Jill, who had been awake for a little bit, informed me that she was hungry so she got her own breakfast. She ate some cereal in a bowl that she got down by herself but she didn't have any milk. She said it as such a matter of fact, that she reminded me of the little girl from the revised Miracle on 34th Street. You know the girl, the one who talks like she is 24 instead of 4? Well that is my Jill to a T.

School is coming to a close and I am darn excited. I love it when my children are home and we don't have daily responsibilities looming over our heads. We play a lot of games, talk a lot, and of course sleep! The only draw back to all this fun is poor Mark who has to work every morning. I do feel for him and wish he was partying with us.

With school ending comes of course Rachael's graduation tomorrow. We have family flying in as I write this and we couldn't be more excited. Then with the party on Friday we are going to be starting off this new adventure of Rachael's with a bang! I really am excited for her she has so much fun ahead!

Ha ha ha, I so know where you're coming from. I remember when my life was mostly about McKenna. Lately it's all about Noel. They'll each get their turn. Only, just like the baby books, we probably won't be blogging by the time our babies are graduating. However, they'll be the most spoiled. They always are!

Don't let this deter you from blogging about Rachael's graduation and party, etc! I'm dying to see and hear about it.

Besides, I'm sure with the summer here someone's gonna bust a lip and need stitches or something - then you can blog all about them!

You see, it all comes out in the wash!

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 ...

Third Weigh In

So, I have had another great week . I even allowed myself pizza one night, and with yesterday being fast Sunday I had all my points at dinner time so we made orange chicken. Mmmmmmm! I love that stuff. So, I am so happy to say that I have lost exactly 1 pound this week. Ya!!! Mark lost 1.8 pounds . Way to go Mark!!! I think we are doing well. Probably the hardest part is today. Whenever there is a celebration I want to eat. It is a hard bad habit to break. I am trying to find something else to do to celebrate my birthday. Maybe I will get out something creative to do. Well, happy birthday to me 1 pound is a great present.
