I normally don't blog on Sunday, but I just recently got my back from my "night away" and wanted to write about my ideas while they are fresh in my mind.
To start the day off, I headed to CVS to buy the kids each a small present for puttin up with their Daddy so long. I ended up with princess stickers, spider-man stickers, superman stickers and a stack of very cute cards I just happened to pick up to read and then proceeded to buy. I stopped off at Sears, which is close to the hotel to check out their Saturday sale, tried on some clothes, but decided to not spend any more money and left for the hotel. Oh, I also stopped at Trader Joe's for some Pasta and sauce and Toblerone- the makings of my dinner for that night.
After cooking and eating and reading some of my mission journal- I had packed three journals, two co-dependency books, The Kite Runner and an Oprah Magazine for my trip- I decided that I was tired and ready for bed. I looked at the clock. It said 6 pm. Daylight savings time even, which would have amounted to five pm standard time. Right then and there I made a decision about my life. I have too many things on my plate. You know that you are running yourself ragged when you sit down in a quiet place and all you can think about it sleep. I was supposed to be analyzing myself, finding out who I am and all I could think was "Why can I close my eyes and sleep?"
This lead to the hard decision of what to cut out of my life to make my life easier. The answer came down to Joy School. I called Josh and we talked about it and decided that I would talk to the girl in charge today at Church about this being our last week- I'm teaching by the way. It's kind of sad, but that's what I need to do to be okay. Also, I have decided to not take on any projects or anything big for a while. At least until I am done with this counseling stuff. It takes a lot more time and energy than I thought.
To make a long story short, I eventually fell asleep- a nice bath, a part of a movie and some more reading later. I woke up earlier in the morning, decided to go see a Doctor about my non sleeping ablilities, since no child was there to wake me up and I still woke up anyways- and wrote and wrote and wrote about my life plans, goals, little items of business, etc. See future blogs for details.
When I came home, I had never seen such lovelier faces than those of my family. I had given all the kidsa bath before I left, so they looked pink and shiny and cute- all dressed to go to Church. What a great blessing they are to me in my life! Thank you, Heavenly Father!
