Good Morning! What a fun way to start my Mother's Day morning then a text from my Hermana!!! Look forward to talking to you later today!
Let's see...what went on this week...
Eldon and Diane were out of town for Elderhostel so we had Holly and Gpa over for Monday night pizza. We tried to make it out on our new Pizza Oven. Which we haven't mastered yet. And we got scrambled pizza. And the reminder done in the oven in the house. I just really want that to work...so I'm not giving up! We gotta figure this out! Poor grandpa is the guinea pig!!! hahah. It was his pizza that scrambled!
I've still been going to my Chiropractor regularly and I hope I'm almost all better. If you wanted to pray for my quicker recovery I would be grateful! I have a knot in my neck and my arm keeps going numb -- pinched nerve likely. He says I am very tense through my back and has been trying to loosen it up but apparently I'm resistant!
Tuesday, Sheron took me to lunch at Rumbi's for my birthday. It was fun and delicious. I haven't seen her for almost a year and she looked great and we had such a nice visit. It went way too fast and we promised to get together again before many many months pass again!
Tuesday evening was Relief Society and we did the nox box lesson - next of kin -- what items you should gather in case of your passing to make things easier for your survivors. It was my idea - I started my noxbox last year -- but they had kind of a lousy turnout. So maybe they shouldn't ask me for ideas! haha. We had about 13 people and 5 of them were on the committee and one of them was me. Hmmmm...Oh well!
Wednesday was my birthday and it was a fun day all around. I worked but when I arrived the girls had a sign on my door. Then I got a couple little gifts. We had a luncheon -- Don Pedros Mexican food at lunch time (unrelated to my birthday!!! but convenient! haha)
After work we met Ben and Laura and took Gpa to Black Bear Diner in St George for my birthday dinner. I got a free meal and so did Ben and it was yum. French toast, eggs and bacon.
Wednesday evening we did indexing with our YW which turned out to be kind of a bust...so we had a great turnout - probably 20 or so people (this was just the beehive/miamaid class activity) BUT apparently you have to be 13 to access indexing and with the way the church has kids starting YW at 11...well...MOST of our group was not old enough to participate. BUST. They were very patient and quietly listened but I think overall they were bored. We'll have some more "fun" activities in the next couple of weeks to make up for our lack of knowledge!
Thursday I worked upstairs in the court for most of the day and had to get a luncheon to WCCC from Costa Vida. So it was a fast and fun busy day.
Friday morning started early with cleanup day -- 7:30 -- we had a GREAT turnout and employees dispersed and spent about 1 hour picking up trash around the city.
Friday evening was our Baseball BBQ appreciation night at Dixie Tech - only about 1/2 the people who RSVP actually came. Losers. So we had tons of extra hotdogs and fixins. When I realized I opened it up to people coming to the game. But sadly...I wasn't early enough realizing and they probably threw out close to 100 hot dogs and buns. (I only ordered 200 total). Oh well.
Saturday was another busy day starting with pickleball, swimming, visiting AJ at Desert Color for an open house BBQ, more hanging by the pool with Becca, and then me and Becca went to Tuacahn for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Which was really good BUT it was kind of windy and cool. Luckily I had one sweatshirt and dad had a big BYU shirt and hat - so we took those in with us. Toward the end it started raining (and no there is no cover! ) and blowing and we could see lightning off in the distance. And then, about 1.5 songs before it was over they said -- ACTORS - please exit the stage immediately. And the show was OVER! I think the lightning got too close plus it was blowing hard and raining. Becca and I ran to our car and got outta there! It was a fun night!
So that sums the week!
I haven't been reading anything inspirational or fun to share with you...So I'll just give you a thought of my own.
A long time ago I read a book by Lucille Johnson called Enjoy Life's Journey, finding happiness along the way. To this day she is one of my most favorite authors and I think she helped me to change my attitude and improve my life. Her basic premise is that more than just getting to goals and celebrating the milestones we need to enjoy getting to those goals. I believe I struggled with that A LOT when I was younger. I just wanted to be "there" -- wherever that was...Like get married, get a degree, have a baby, get to a destination...whatever. And I was kind of miserable in accomplishing my goals. I struggled with the amount of work required to have a baby and maintain a household...I was kind of grumpy about it sometimes!
Now I am trying to find something fun and enjoyable every day (pickleball, eating with friends, going for a walk...whatever!) And even the less fun activities - I'm trying to find the fun in them. It's amazing how much more enjoyable things are with the right attitude.
So my thought for this week is to make sure you schedule something enjoyable every day and find ways to enjoy the hard stuff. Attitude is everything. Make yours a good one!
Love you lots! Thanks for making me a mom, again!
