good quotes

i've found these quotes over the last few months, and wanted to share them, but also get them down somewhere permanent, so i don't lose them. (i don't know the authors.)

"When you look for the best in others, you discover the best in yourself."

"Instead of pointing a finger at someone, try holding out a helping hand."

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterwards."

grilling.....oh wait.

i was going to grill up the chicken that i got today, and then dice it all and freeze it. halfway through the first batch, i ran out of propane.

DOH!

crazy day

i am thoroughly exhausted!! it's been one of those days.

this morning started very late. like, 10:30a late. but, we were able to get a lot done.

we started cleaning. ashley's room got a deep clean and vacuum. taylor's room got cleaned and vacuumed. i got the laundry finished. the front room got a deep clean and vacuum. the kitchen floor got mopped, twice.

around 7, i got a call from a neighbor. their deep freeze had stopped working, and they needed to get rid of everything in it. i got 4 pounds of hamburger, 1 pound of bacon, 4 pounds of chicken, 1 pound of sausage, and a large pork roast. with the exception of the roast, i got everything cooked up, and sectioned out. it's now all back in the freezer, waiting for meals to be used in. the roast is for dinner tomorrow night.

i was even able to get some bread made. if i hadn't had to cook up all that meat, i would have been able to bake some cookies or something, since we dont' have any snacks in the house at all right now.

miserable

yesterday was extremely miserable for this mama. i went to bed sunday night with a headache (after watching 4 hours of eureka. most likely the cause). i woke up monday morning with a migraine. a particularly bad one. i didn't dare take anything, or move too much because of the nausea. i spent most of the day in bed.

shaun attempted to work from home, and a friend took the older kids for most of the day. by noon, i was no longer nauseous and able to take something. by 3:30, i was able to get up and physically function. it wasn't until 9 or 10 last night that i was all mentally together. and then, because i'd slept all day, my body couldn't fall asleep.so, i was up until 2 or so.

new calling

i have a new calling at church.

our good friends moved out of the ward. she was one of the librarians. i am her replacement.

being a librarian gives me an excuse to not have to worry about my anxiety. on my bad days, i won't have to worry. i have somewhere to be that shouldn't cause problems. i'm not teaching, so being up in front of people won't be a problem. people are coming to me with things they need. mainly chalk or copies.
