My favorite Primary story

Years ago, when I was a primary teacher, I was sitting with my soon to be eight year old. It was June and my birthday so the chorister called me up to sing happy birthday . For some reason, the kids were asking how old I was and the chorister, being exceptionally kind, stated I was 21 years old. I was older than twenty-one but I guess it seemed a better age. However, when I sat back down with my class, one of the little girls was confused and upset. It would seem she had figured out that if I was 21 and there with her class that I HAD NOT served a mission. I had to explain to her that I had not served a mission and that it was okay. It was a lesson to me to always tell my right age.

Valentines day

Valentines just in not want it use to be

first there are year round school and you have to be on track to celebrate

second there are no decorated boxes as everyone has to have the same box size and decorations available

you have to give everyone the same card etc

and no one runs around ringing door bells

what's up with that

Last year I drop off Lily's and she caught me I just kept runningshe cried for me to come back and was sad

Ambree and I went to dinner and a Valentine craft night and made Valentine bags.
At dinner she ordered fish eggs, soy beans, seaweed salad and steak -- she ate it all!

then she mad a bag for her and her brother

My nose must be broke

Melissa says she can smell the chlorine, Brent's says he can smell the choline 2 days later

I cannot smell anything

This week the pool was too cold to swim and I could actually smell my own body odors which is not the case when I swim. When I swim, I smell like nothing. Nobody has really ever told me that I smell like chlorine so I am thinking I don't smell like Chlorine.

I think Rob's hearing is getting a little bad but his sense of smell has really picked up on every odor and he hasn't said I smell like chlorine and he would diffinitely tell me.

I am not a "smeller" like the boys. Actually I think I am glad I cannot smell that good since I have an over active gag reflect. And good smeller with gag refelects is not good.

10 days and counting

Ten days to go and I am definitely not ready. If I had to identify an emotion I would have to say scared. First, there is not enough money in the bank for me to feel good. If our taxes get deposited and I get my final commission check then I will feel better. I have several interviews this week and the companies are all good but looking at the account -- I NEED to make more. The 2K just isn't enough to make the big step. It is a bit scary. We have never been house poor and I like to be able to spend money as I want and "need". Still I feel drawn to Herriman and when I ask--- the answer is always GO but this is definitely going to have to be a leap of faith. Again I have to remind myself that maybe this isn't the right house............ I guess I am waiting for the lightning bolt to hit us or some thing to show the way but it just a still small voice. I e-mailed my Herriman friends and swim friends to help. The mortgage group has given us till March 3 and then we would have to start all over again. So I am just going to keep doing everything I should be doing to make it happen and see what happens. But if I ever believed in crystal balls or tarot cards-- I would do it now-- No, I wouldn't -- I do not want to know the answer.

17 days and counting

We have finally gotten a "hope for" "it could be" "if everything goes as planned" move in date
Feb 19th
that means the painter needs to finish painting, the tile has to come in on time , the tiler is free, the counter tops can be ordered, the electrician is free.... etc
and still we do not know where we will be moving to...........
there are so many options and everyone- including us -- are looking at them all
I do not know the answers but - what ever it is - it was meant to be.
I saw a ward member in the store the other day and she asked about what was happening and I gave her the short story. She said her kids had prayer I would not move ( this is a statement that just makes you want to slap someone)
Anyway - here is another deja vu "selling your home" experience
(I know Melissa is the only one who believes me or cares how much it bothers me)
So after our long episode with our last home and we finally sold the home and MOVED. We went to church the first week and meet with our bishop ( whom I will love till the day I die and then some) And he said, " I have been praying for you" HUM
Yes, it was one of those things we now laugh about. but it makes me wonder -- what other prayers are out there and where are we suppose to be?
We did get out to Herriman on Sunday and I again I "knew" we were suppose to be there
I am just not sure how, why, when or where
Rob says it is just a cold coming on
