Mothers day dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Young's. Luis got all the kids wet.
Any ways - how was your Mothers day?Mine was good. Luis got up and made me breakfast and I got one of those things that count your steps. Then I had to give a talk at church. And most of the time I would have a heart attack having to get up and give a talk BUT there was maybe 2 rows full. And thats a good day at church. I think the spanish branch has and will help me get over my fear of talking infront of people. Then the Saturday before we when to the Dixon Fair. The girls loved it.
They love riding the horses!!
Everyone loves fair food
For a while now Lydia has been coming up with something at bed time on Why she should sleep with us. For a while it was ghosts. But I tell her that we left all the ghosts back at the little house. Then there was a mean mouse under the bed. I would tel her that there is no mouse our cat gets all the mice. That was a month ago. But Ali will not let the mouse story go. Every time we miss place something, the keys the remote my cell phone. Ali always tells me - the mouse take it, mouse.
I wrote this blog 3 days ago (Juan slept for 10 hours last night whoo hooo the book works!!!!!)
blog again later
I wish so much I could be there to help you. With my three kids in school I would love to be able to come over and take your kiddos to the park or outside or over to my house for awhile so you could rest. DO NOT LISTEN to the people who keep telling you that you need to clean your house. How rude! You do what you can and no more. There will come a time when you can do more but for now think of what you could do instead of what you should do. For instance, you COULD do dishes or vacuum or clean the bathroom OR you COULD sit down and rest, read the girls a story, or rock Juan. You might be surprised at how much better you feel when you take some responsibility off your own shoulders. It's alright to let things go for a while. You need to take care of yourself first. It took me a long time to figure that out. And taking care of yourself by letting the housework go is not selfish. I even changed the way I look at housework. I now clean the house so it can get dirty again not so it can stay clean.
ReplyDeleteI know what a headache it is to put the kids in school for the first time. I think Lydia will love it and I think you will see what a good thing it is for her. And for a little while, you will only have two kids in the house. It's not a bad thing to need a break and to have school be that break. You are a beautiful person and a wonderful wife and mother. You're my sunshine sister and I want you to be happy. I love you very much.
