**SYTYCD....was so amazing last night! I LOVED the contemporary dances, and the hip hop was so good. The tappers were okay, I think they needed a better song. But honestly, that opening number by Wade Robson was INCREDIBLE! **
Work on my talk and a project for Young Women in Excellence that is coming up on Sunday.
I am sooooooo grateful that everyday is not like this. It was a busy day, full of lots of good things but I am WIPED OUT! It's days like today that I have to laugh when I think that my title is "stay at home mom". During my visiting teaching visit, my friend Kris told me not to get overwhelmed by all of the busyness that today had in store, but to enjoy every activity and be in the moment. She even called me at 5pm just to make sure that I had survived my day.
I followed her advice and I have to say that I truly enjoyed my day. All of it. I can't even tell you the highlights because there were too many.
Tomorrow's agenda....get kids off to school, take care of Camo, clean bathrooms, sweep, vacuum, and maybe a leisurely fall run.

I'm tired! Wow,that's a lot in one day. I'm sure I had days like that but it didn't seem like a big deal back then, You just do what you have to do right? I think you were very productive and all was worthwhile things to do. Good for you!
I agree with the lovely Mrs. Anna. I am tired just reading this. I LOVE that you made sure that you enjoyed it all, though. That is truly amazing.
...because you are truly amazing, lady...
Sometimes it totally feels like you are on a treadmill and someone keeps pushing the "speed up" button. Never enough time in a day!! Good thing you can "stay at home" with your kids eh! :)
Whew!!
I swear that fall is SOO busy. I too, think that the title "stay at home mom" need to be changed. Let's think of a catchy title...
Too busy for me! You are amazing. Hope you get the run in because the leaves are beautiful and so much fun to crunch through.
Whoa! I'm going to take a nap for you!
I have more days like that than I would like to have. . . However, WOW... That one was CRAZY! I thought the same thing about SYTYCD on Monday night. It was awesome. I am only 1/2 way through Tuesday nights episode, but so far, I am only 1/2 as inspired as MOnday nights show. But what about BILLY BELL? ?? ? ? What on earth could be so bad he would have to withdrawl?? H1N1? CRAZY! He was soooooooooo amazing the night before. I felt so bad for him!
Oh my heavens. our lives are too similar in so many ways. you're wonder woman (that isn't one of the ways:)). How great is it that your kids get to do their music lessons BEFORE School??? I would LOVE that. Instead, we cram them in after school with homework, sports, scouts, achievement day, dinner, baths and bed time...your way makes so much more sense. also, you guys get a seminary building? is that common to every high school there? are there that many members? just curious. thanks for sharing your crazy day with me. it makes me feel not so lonely in my crazy somehow.
I got tired ju;st from reading about your busy day. I hope that you get a quieter one soon. Hugs
i agree. wade robson rocks my world. sad to lose mia. :( boo.
Wow, I am amazed at how quickly you did some of that stuff. What did you do the next day is the question. After days like that, I am tempted to do nothing. Good job.
