I'm done...anyone else?


So I've had it! I told Dave that if the housing market wasn't so terrible, one more day of this and the Collings + a U-Haul are heading straight to SLC. Did someone forget to tell mother nature that it is JUNE? Do you know how many choice indoor play areas the NW is filled with? NOT MANY (unless you count the McD's playland on every corner, and you don't even want to get me started on McDonalds...) Just needed to vent. Rain rain go away....

i've been saying this for YEARS! the springs here are miserable, and after a pretty bad summer/fall, this year has been even moreso.

there IS a fun indoor swimming pool we just found! i'll have to get you the details.

Let's just call this paybacks

Dave got the heads up this morning that we were going to have a couple of "special" talks on reverence today as the Stake Presidency was a little concerned about how loud our sacrament meetings have become. I thought ~ great, let's prep the kids ~ I told them that they were to be on their best behavior, no snacks, no toys, no talking, you get the idea... The meeting went pretty smooth until the Bishop got up. He very tenderly started talking about how important it is that we teach our children about the sacrament...it was at that moment that my family fell a part. Eden and Luke started fighting and Liza and Tucker started screaming---did I mention we were on the second row? I grabbed Luke and put him in a body hold and motioned for Dave to get Tuck and Liza out. Dave left with Liza and Tuck (so I thought...) and next thing you know, Tucker is up on the stand running back and forth behind the Bishop. My sweet friend sitting next to me jumped up to get Tuck, but he of cours...

Child Rearing Race

My visiting brother from Utah and I were left without spouses for 4 days. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but our kids had already been together 24/7 for 6 days and our boys couldn't think of anything better to do than fight. I don't know about you, but 1 entire day of fighting is enough to drive one mad--now times that by 4. Near the end of the week(and our rope) my brother and I had a heart to heart and posed the question~what in life could be more mentally difficult than this? The only thing I could think of (now remember, we'd just run the Ragnar) was running a marathon. Someone once told me that if you could mentally get through a marathon, you could get through anything. So, I put it to the test...I ran a... OK , not a marathon, but a 1/2. Raising children and running difficult races are so much the same. They both require so much of you emotionally, physically and mentally and yet the end reward is so gratifying. I can't express the joy I felt yester...

Bag the privacy!

So I tried the privacy thing and it just isnt' working. What am I afraid of anyway? please tell me that terrible people won't track us down! For those that know me well, you know that I am a Law and Order/Dateline/48 Hours Mystery junkie. I have too many morbid stories floating around in my head! However, so many fun people from my past lives (there have been many...) have re-connected through this blog. So, once again, we are out in the open...
