MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY
We had a really fun day off with Becky and Grandma Ruthie! We had a few errands to run and stopped for some lunch at Carls Jr. (which ended up being like a half hour wait in the drive thru!) on the way down there, but we got up to Grandma's around 2:00. We played a bunch of games! Nate came up when he got off work at 3:30. We watched a movie, made homemade pizzas for dinner, and played some more games! It was a nice relaxing, but fun way to spend our day off. It was nice to finally hang out with Becky! 1-20-20
SICK LITTLE SADIE
Poor Sadie has been so sick! She's had the goopy eyes, the runny nose, cough, fever, what seems like body aches, wheezing... you name it! The poor little thing! I kept waiting for it all to effect her eating and sleeping, but she actually was eating just fine... not sleeping as good, but good enough really. So anyway. We missed out on a few things... namely playgroup. But she did finally get better. 1-21-20
SICK ME
I hit rock bottom on Tuesday. I had been missing out on so much sleep that I just couldn't even hardly carry on! I was taking care of sick Sadie and trying to keep myself up and alive, and I was really running on empty. Thankfully, Nate was willing to come home early and do the big dentist trip I had been dreading all day. He took Noah, Erika, Jack and Molly to the dentist. Meant a lot to me that he would do that for me. My mom had heard that I was sick too, and brought me some melaleuca that I was needing and a cool new Brad Wilcox book. Hopefully this is the bottom and we can just go up from here. 1-21-20
UNCLE DREWS
Brad's basketball games are so much fun to watch! He's been playing SO GOOD lately! Especially in these games. He just really seems so in control now days. He's a great star, but is so good at being a team player. His defense has been INCREDIBLE! It's been so fun to watch! They won by a lot this week. Made us all happy :). 1-21-20
ORGANIZATION
On the way home from Brad's game, I got a text from Michelle Johnston asking me if I would be willing to share 10-15 minutes of organization with cleaning and cooking that has worked for me. I had to laugh. She has obviously never seen my house! Even the outside of it gives away our lack of organization... so anyway. I told her that while I am not one to say no to these kinds of things, I was definitely not qualified and I could give her some ideas of other people who would be better. She said, I didn't have to if I didn't want to, but I couldn't get myself to say no. I really need blessings these days, so I am hoping it will result in some. So I agreed. Turned out that I started getting blessings almost immediately! That night was a REALLY rough night as far as Sadie's sleeping goes, and because I had been thinking about what I would say about organization, and because I was in the right mind set- and let's face it, because miracles still happen- I was in a really good mood all night long!! Sadie woke up almost every hour and then took a half hour to feed and get back to sleep every time! It was rough, but I was not feeling it. I was feeling okay. Nate was working the mid, so there was no let up. But it worked out! And actually I had the coolest experience- I had a dream that I was hugging my Grandma Mottishaw and got to tell her that I "think about her EVERY day." It was so vivid, so real, it was really cool. I just love my Grandma. So that was pretty sweet. We survived. 1-21-20
LUNCH WITH EMILY
We finally got to go to lunch! This was nothing short of a miracle. Even with Jonah, Molly and Sadie, it still ends up being such a nice little break when I get to go hang out with Emily. I am so grateful for this friendship. Cafe Rio was yummy. I could have done without the dumb debit card fumble. My dumb card wouldn't swipe! This is the second time my card has not worked when I went to lunch with Emily. Last time, at Chik-fil-a- they gave me my food for free. Weird. But Emily covered it and I paid her back. So embarrassing. We had an awesome time talking. It was just what my week needed! 1-23-20
COOL!
Also, when Molly and Sadie and I first got there there was a lady in a wheel chair sitting at a table and as we walked past, Molly was kind of staring at her and she sweeetly looked over and threw out a fun compliment on Molly's haircut! Totally distracting her from the wheelchair! Pretty cool! That's how I would want to be if I were in a wheelchair. 1-23-20
STARZ GAME- NOAH AND ERIKA
Friday night was Noah and Erika's big National Anthem performance with their school choir at the Starz game. This was a fun night! It would have been super cool to get a refund on our tickets since it was the Junior Jazz free game night, but maybe we'll enjoy watching the Starz another time. The reason we were there was to see Erika and Noah though, and they did SO GOOD!! They stayed on pitch so well! I loved watching them and felt so proud of them! They work so hard! There was some fun stuff there, balloon pets, bouncy houses, Steve/knife drama, Grandma and Simon were with us! And the game was really awesome! Went into overtime and we won!! Good stuff. 1-24-20
HONOR CHOIR
Charity participated in the State Honor Choir again! She got to spend the day at Murray High school Friday rehearsing with the whole group. Then on Saturday she left bright and early to practice some more in Salt Lake! They performed that afternoon as well. This was a cool experience for me! Abravanel Hall for one thing, but the acoustics in that building just did their singing such justice!! It was AMAZING!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! Erika, Sadie and I were the only ones able to go, with people being sick, basketball games and working, etc. So we were bummed nobody else got to experience it, but SO enjoyed it!! I'm so proud of Charity! She does so many cool things that take so much effort and work, but she does them with such grace and commitment! I love it! She's living her senior year to its fullest! We were so proud of our parking spot too :). I hope some of my other kids get the chance to experience this!! It was so neat! 1-24-20--1-25-20
