Playing catch up!

Getting thing caught up today was not what the kids wanted to do on their day out of school but sometimes a dirty house trumps all the other stuff.

So after getting through 5 loads of laundry, three bathrooms, the kitchen and vacuuming the whole house, some of the kids were able to have a little fun. Hailey played with her friend Grace and Colton and Crew went with me to run a couple of errands then I went down to  Kirstens so that I could have Maddi draw a snake on a poster for primary for me. 

When I got home I made barbq chicken and agratin potato's and a ceser salad it was really good I didn't get much feed back from the kids except from Laike since he will eat most anything I cook, he said (why don't you make this just for me.) so I guess he must have liked it. 

On a side note, my sister inlaw Shannon's nephew is in the ICU and in unstable condition he has been battling hodgkins Linfoma for two years and about a month ago he was told he was in remission, but last week he got hnemona and now is bleeding from his lungs, if he does happen to pull through he will not live a full life it would be hard to just do normal everyday things but, it will be heartbreaking to their family to lose him after he has been through so much. Are prayers are with their family, we love them and know that it is in Gods hands and that family's are forever. 

I think for one day everyone had a pretty good day know one new is sick Crew was up happy and playing all day, and I feel tuns better. Codey is still not 100% but he's getting there. So happy day. 

School starts tomorrow and I have a lot to get done this week to prepare for sharing time on Sunday, Pres. Meeting and also pack meeting tomorrow. 

Thinking through the drops of awesome, do I really think or want to point out that I can do something awesome each day, or that telling it for all to see will make me feel better? Maybe I just want to do it so that I can see for myself that I can do something good each day. But does it have to be the spotlight of my day? No! I need to be awesome because I want to remember that I am better then I was yesterday, that I love my kids more, that I want to be that person my kids talk about someday that they want to be like not because they love me but because they want to be awesome too. 

So for today I just want to say that I am a little better today then I was yesterday, I accomplished more today and I sat and read to my kids. For that I am awesome. And tomorrow I will do even better, not because I want to have that drop of awesome but, because I can be better tomorrow then I am today.
