posting something to take attention away from the pee story...

I have to write SOMETHING to keep the urine story from being on the top of the page. Life gets crazier and busier and I don't think I can keep up. I literally haven't seen my kids in FOREVER (and it's been SO nice!)

What I've done in the past 5 days: I flew to SLC by myself, met my sisters for lunch, went to a BEAUTIFUL wedding, laughed with friends, stayed up way too late, flew home way too early the next morning, got ready for my sister Deb to come visit, went to 2 ALL DAY Time Out for Women Seminars-- without the kids!, went shopping for new furniture, bought beautiful couches, hired a paint guy, colored my hair dark, taught YW, and spoke at a fireside for youth.

What I haven't done: attended to my blog, read anyone elses, checked my email, cleaned my house, played with my kids (they've had cousins to occupy them), read scriptures, shaved my legs, exercised, called friends, or let my let my husband know HOW MUCH I appreciate him and all the time off he's given me..... but we all know he's not going to read it on my blog, so I better hurry to bed.

Sounds like a great time and way too many fun things squished into a few days. I want to see the before/after pictures of your hair!! Sam

Oh...my jealousy meter just spiked. Your long weekend sounds heavenly.

I love your hair by the way... I noticed it yesterday when you walked into church, but didn't have 2 seconds to tell you. Oh and I love the pee story!

Glad to hear you had such a fun time at the wedding and all your other activities. Don't know how you accomplished everything and bought furniture and hired a painter. Sounds like things are coming together and you'll have things pretty much in order by Christmas.

You and Aaron have a special marriage to let each other do your own thing.

The pee story was very funny. Wait till someday in the future and you may have to save every drop in a half gallon jug for 24 hours to check for calcium and vitamin D. If you fill it (I didn't) you can start another bottle.

I want to leave a comment for Arah since I know she reads this. I read the wonderful story including a beautiful picture of her and her girls and the momentoes of Olivia. It will touch everyone who read the Life section in the Spokesman Review in Spokane today, Tues. 22nd. What a great service she is doing for families who lose their babies.

Glad there is a new headline! Isn't "family life" the best?! Still laughing...

I love your hair too. I meant to tell you after sacrament meeting. I hope you found a good painter.

cORRECTION:
Arrah's story "CHERISHED MEMORIES', is in the TODAY section of today's Spokesman Review. Since Monday's paper is always small and the story and picture very large it can't be missed.
