Enough of that :)

Gee that last post was depressing ~ Liza is just fine. The fact is, I have never seen a child faint or have a seizure...now I know and will be more composed next time...not that it is EvEr going to happen again.

I've been tagged. Time to reveal 6 things that make me happy. I am going to change the rules to "6 things besides my family, the gospel, my health and stability that make me happy"

#1. A sunny day - I used to work at the Space Needle and part of our tour included the phrase "we only see a full day of sun 52 days out of the year." NO joke. Let's just say there are 52 days out of the year that I am happier than the rest.
#2. Reading a book in bed. Chances are if you call my house between 1-3 it will ring busy. I don't let anything get in the way of a little R & R.
#3. Email. I LOVE email. I think I check my inbox 30 times a day.
#4. Wednesdays ~ for reasons that are too superficial to list.
#5. Really good chinese food. I just heard about two new restaurants in the International District that I am dying to try.
#6. Crossing the finish line...

I tag Makay, Shannan, Marisa, JoLynn, Laura (do you still blog?) and Nat

When you want to try those Chinese restaurants give us a call! I love the international district (and Chinese food)!

I will try to be a good girl and post my 6 things :)

Ah...I need to find some good Chinese around here. My first legal job was in the International District. There is some really amazing cuisine there. I miss it.

I love this list! I love Wednesdays too~ There is something about knowing that the week is half over that feels good- the weekend is just around the corner! And who doesn't love a sunny day??! That is a great list!

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

Facelift

It is time this blog gets a facelift! I know it is not "in season" but I don't think I want to update my widgets for at least another year. Dave and I just got back from a weekend cruise with some friends on the NCL. We got a small taste of what a real cruise was like and that was all it took. We are already planning the next, much longer one. It might be 10 years before we do it, but it is fun to plan nontheless.
