Early Morning

I have the hardest time getting up in the morning.  I guess that is because of a little guy named Nathan who wakes up a couple time a night.  But I'm not staying up as long with him any more.  He is our biggest baby so far.  17.5 pounds at 7 months, he is a couple of months ahead of Liam and a Miriam.  He loves it when mommy comes home from work (for lunch and end of day) but I'm not sure how much of that is because it means he gets to sit in his high chair and eat!

We have had the missionaries over a couple of times in this last week.  They promised that no matter what our challenges were, our lives could be blessed because of doing missionary work and quite frankly, that got my attention.  I need whatever help I can get. 

Bill did not get offered the position with the Hanford partrol.  We have had a large outpouring of support and lots of people have helped sending job postings.  It was really disappointing and hard to know what to do next.  Because my salary is a little short of actually being able to take care of all of our bills (say nothing of setting aside for car repairs, house repairs, new tires, or a just the quarterly oil change) it makes me think about things too.  For now, we can still stay in this house and I guess that's something.

A quick stop

I attended the temple yesterday.  It was a short visit, but good.  A friend of mine helped me see that every little bit counts.

I didn't do a longer endowment session because I still get randomly nauseated.  I'm pretty sure it's a pill I am on.  I'd really like to just get rid of it.  I will soon.

Work is very quiet right now.  It's nice that I can sit and type away at something while listening to music or a conference talk. 

I'm working on not getting worked up and overwhelmed with all the things I need to do.  Most recently I thought that maybe I should meditate.  That maybe it would focus my mind.  But where do you fit that in? 

Life marches on

We were at a birthday party yesterday and Liam was waving at his shadow on the wall :)

I ran my first 5K in over two years.  It was Color Me Rad which was fun. 

We are waiting to hear back from the Hanford Patrol about a job for Bill.  We are hopeful for this.  But it's hard to know.  He ran out of unemployment last month.

I got called as a Relief Society teacher but no one has talked to me about when and what I'm teaching yet.

Miriam finished Kindergarden last week.  Hard to believe!

Pictures later!
