Hey, just a quick post before heading to bed. We are doing well for the most part, just trying to keep warm and dry in this crazy weather. Soren had pinkeye again today so I'm trying to find a sub for me in Kindergarten tomorrow, but no luck yet. They may just have to be mother helperless tomorrow. Nina stayed home with a sore throat and swollen glands today. Seems like we all have a bit of something but nothing worth paying to see a dr. for. C's eye is finally better.

Karla, thanks for stopping by tonight and for the lovely pearl necklace. I will really try to keep this one intact. I have always thought pearls were timeless and classic. Fun gift! Hope your kids are feeling a bit better when you read this......

Wendy-been thinking about you and all you are doing/going through. I don't have any sage advice, just that I have learned that peace fills me when I say to Heavenly Father, "I'll do what you want me to do, what is it that you would have me do?" When I stop trying to get him to do it my way and I'm willing to accept his will for me, I feel like I can do/be whatever he needs me to be and be content with it. Is it easy? NO! I still get so frustrated and tired and whiny sometimes about my lack of time to do things I want to do, yet I know that His is a better way. So if this is his plan for you to have all these children possibly come into your family so quickly and in this manner, he will help you get through the tough times and grow with the challenges that come. But make sure that you are not just doing what YOU think is right, make sure you have his blessing. I assume you have asked him what you should do....

Mom, glad you get a bit of a break from work. I'm looking forward to summer so I can get to the temple more often. I am setting a goal for myself to go once a week. That should be doable.
Dad said you got the toilet set in the main bathroom. Are they done now? What are your next plans/projects? I need to come see what you've done. I need to look at a calendar and make a plan to come down for a weekend or something.

Well, better go throw the sheets on the bed so I can climb in....love to you all.
