Yesterday was awesome!

I got a lot of good things done at work yesterday. The FEMA representative gave us a good jump on the paperwork he wanted. I should be able to get that done this week. I got 6 ordinances pdf-ed to the toquerville.org site, thanks for Papa's help. And Mayor came by and I think we're ready for City Council this Thursday.

Work was productive and all that, but the awesome part of the day was coming home to Papa playing with 3 cute little boys. We had so much fun together! And the day couldn't have ended any better than having Shayna and Trevor bring pizza home and having a little Family Home Evening together. It was just precious! Thank you for making that happen, Shayna and Trevor and Papa!! I love you!!Those were happy boys - Adorable!!!

This is the first day after the 60 day challenge and I feel a little liberated. I hope that I can keep doing all the good things but no pressure, right?

 I love you!! Have a happy day!!

March 7

I ran in the rain today - just a 1 1/2 but it wasn't too cold and it wasn't as hard as it's going now. Don't you love that when you get done and THEN it starts raining hard? It's like you knew, or you did something right, or... something.

Anyways, It's a good day and I"m happy to have things to do that are not on a timer, I'm going to work on the book I'm editing for CC and I'm going to scan ordinances and see if I can put them on the web.

I'm happy that I got to read and study some scripture stuff all weekend. It was a good, rejuvenating thing to do and I feel excited and ... increase(?). lol. I don't know, rejuvenated works, I guess, but it implies a "back to the beginning" kind of renewal thing, and I want to grow better. Oh well....

Now that the 60 day challenge is over, I'm going to decide if this daily thing is good or just too much.
I love you!! I hope you're all doing great!!!

Sunday and I think this challenge ends today or tomorrow!

I had a fun time yesterday hanging out with my sweet daughter Shayna. We just did some window shopping, mostly it was good to get out and move around. I spent most of the day studying scriptures. I had taken to on-line classes from Anthony Larson and wanted to get the background on what he proposed. Most of what he said, I already knew, there were just some things I had to check on, and I had one good "Ah HA moment, where I learned a cool thing, so it was definitely worth it. I'm just trying to obey Jesus' counsel in D&C 8878-79 to "be instructed more perfectly .... of tings both in heaven and in the earth and under the earth; things which have been, ..are,...(and) must shortly come to pass..."

This is the last week of the 60 day challenge, er, I guess tomorrow is the last day.

I 'm glad I did it. I think I'll keep it going somewhat, change it up a little and make the piano and guitar a bigger part of it. - I hope.

I love you!! Have a wonderful Sabbath!

Oh my! I missed yesterday!

I didn't realize that I hadn't posted yesterday until I got on to do today! Oh dear! Messing up in the last week of the 60 day challenge. But we can have one mess up per catagory and still count it, so I'm still ok. Yesterday was a very productive day! I went in to work at 8am and did some cross-training to learn how to do Pam's job so I can do it the next time she's sick. I also delivered the Council's notebooks for the next meeting and posted the agendas on all the kiosks and two web pages. So that's done!

Today I signed up for an online class that starts in less than an hour. It's one of Anthony Larson's and I don't know if it's stuff I already know or not, but he keeps talking about how more in-depth his classes are, so I thought I'd just check it out. It was only $10. so that's not a big loss. Anyways, I'm a little excited to attend soon.

I'm hoping Papa will be back by then, He's helping to clean the church and I didn't even volunteer to help him, because of the class, tsk tsk.

I love you! Have a fun Saturday!!!

Thursday

Cloudy, with a change of blue-jeans. I don't feel like black or brown pants today. I need to finish the FEMA forms today! and the bills and put to the books together. If I do all of that, than I'll only have about 2 hours of cross-training on Friday and not the whole day. I hope so.

I got to visit with Aubrey yesterday as I did my driving around and shopping for work. That was very very fun. Hey Aubrey, Call me and just laugh sometimes! I love you laugh! It feels so good to listen to it, feels like home!

Grandma has new sores on her legs. I hate that so much! Her skin is so fragile! We redressed them last night and this morning Marilyn gave her a shower and did it again. During the process this morning she got another one! It makes me cry.

I try to focus on the joys, the blessings and the work. I realize that when I feel like crying that's more about me than about Mom. My tears do her no good.

I hope you have a good day! I hope you have lots of joys to focus on and that you read your scriptures and stay close to the Spirit! I love you!!

Blue Skies and things to do!

The problem with writing in the morning is my head is filled with the things I have before me at work - Planning Commission minutes to type, Policies and Procedure book to continue to review for Council, doing the bills, the payment approval report and getting the books out to Council for CC next week - that's my plan for today, tomorrow and possibly Friday. I need to get a canceled check from the bank and a couple of frames too.


I'm going to go over to Tammy Birds to plan for Activity Days next week. Hopefully we'll make plans for the next three months and stop flying by the seat of our pants. I only have 5 more weeks of substituting in Primary. Then I'll have to find something else to study as my personal scripture study time, like the Sunday School and Relief Society lessons, hehehe.


I need to order some music for Way Off Broads - I keep forgetting that!

But it should be a good day and I'm looking forward to taking a walk during break today! (I AM going to TAKE a BREAK)  lol.

I love you all!! Be good!!

Who knew?

Now that I've committed to spend more hours at work, a calmness has come over me. Who knew? I feel I can do everything after all, or at least I have hope that I can.

Today I will go to Staff and listen and take notes, though I don't have to do minutes, Mike does Staff's. This week is also about getting City Council's books together and finalizing the expense report.

Papa and I are really enjoying this last book in the CS Lewis Sc Fi series. It's fun and scary and spiritual and makes you think outside the (American) box to get the English style. I think reading his other philosophy books helped me to get this one and appreciate it better. He was truly writing in his own generation's colloquial dialect, so to speak. Anyways, it's good and worth the read!

I hope you have a wonderful, sunny day!! I love you!!
