Some of us...

woke up to this... Served here... but not 3.4 minutes later I hear..."damn it...I told you guys not to do that" followed by two little girls coming into the kitchen in tears! They had some how pulled on the blanket and spilled that full glass of juice all over John ~ right in his lap! He was covered! I think too it was a shock...a glass full of cold orange juice spilled in your crotch first thing in the morning is not a great way to start your day! He came out and apologized to the girls! I was laughing {still am}! Some of us woke up early {6:30 a.m.} and went and lifted weights. Then came home had some of the breakfast pictured above, and then did this...zonked on the couch and chair till 10:30! Still others were doing this...playing office and library ~ her favorite thing to do {this morning she set her office up on my bed that is sheet less cause they are in the washer due to the afore mentioned spill}! And some of us got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, and went back to sleep on the couch... And some of us {me} left the breakfast mess in the kitchen, the sheets in the washer, and went visiting teaching! Came home and John had cleaned up the kitchen! Hal, our little neighbor girl Lindsey, and I rode our bikes to the library yesterday and checked out a few books...I am "screamer" mom! Don't like to be, not proud of it, hate to scream at my kids...but somewhere along the line I failed at getting them to listen to me!! Probably cause I scream too much! So maybe I can pick up a few tips to help me not to yell! Though I do know we need to work on our family prayers, family home evening, and reading the scriptures together! So along with that and me reading this book maybe I can kick this yelling habit! Another I checked out was...I read this years ago, but one the greatest lady in the world taught some of her lesson out of it Sunday in Relief Society and I wanted to re-read it! So hopefully I can stop "screaming" and "lighten up"! Cross your fingers and piggies!! Well it's 9:49 p.m. ~ better get the bed made ~ there is truly nothing better than crawling into bed with cool, fresh sheets, and I have to beat John to bed so he won't get on my side and get it all warm! So thankful for...1) went out on a belated anniversary date with John last night 2) stopped at my brother and sis-in laws and held their new baby for an hour and a half ~ her is sooo tiny and precious 3) my house is complete disaster but am going to spend all day tomorrow cleaning it ~ I am not even going to get ready for the day or do my hair!! So if ya stop by I might be yellin' at the kids to help clean and look really scary!!
