Jeff went to a Youth Fireside Sunday night. When we got in bed for the night we usually talk for awhile. I was curious what they had done at the Fireside so I asked and he said, "We watched Freddy Kruger's Christmas." He of coarse, meant Mr. Kruger's Christmas. I exploded with laughter as he quickly realized what he had said. I continue to chuckle every time I think about it. If you think about it too much it could be quite disturbing. I'm so glad there is no such thing as Freddy Kruger's Christmas.

- Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.
This is so funny!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a time last year when one of the counselors in our old bishopric released Sister Mariah Carrey from Activity Day Leader. Her name was Mariah, but definitely not CARREY! It was hilarious. The best part was that he didn't even catch it, or why the whole ward was chuckling. The bishop had to whisper in his ear. He was a tad embarrassed, but it was funny!
Little vocab slips like that are so funny. Tiffani, your story is hilarious too!
ReplyDeleteKimi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI am terribly sorry to hear about your Mother! Please do not hesitate to call me if you need to talk.
Also, are you still at the same address as last year? Can't remember if you moved???
Love,
Kem
I ran into your blog through a comment you left on Band of Brothers. . .and are you kidding! OF COURSE LAUNDRY COUNTS! Not enjoying every moment you spend with your children doesn't come close to being in the same category with "horrible mother." It is in the category of "human mother"and that is what we are. We are real and that is what our children need us to be. Let your children see your humanity, and you'll give them a gift - the right to be human themselves. They need to learn to be good humans - and we all have eternity together to work out the perfection part. Your biggest job is to point them to the Savior for their example of perfection. When you make mistakes, let them know how much you love and appreciate the Lord for making it possible for you to change and do better. Help them learn to do that, too. I bet you are already doing that. Teaching your children how much the Lord loves them personally and what he did and can do for them is the greatest "service" you can ever give your children.
ReplyDeleteThere are some truly golden moments with children. Those moments keep up going through the laundry, cooking and dishes, toilet scrubbing, diaper changing (and lets face it - those can be really stinky jobs). It's service because we do it, and most of the time we do it with a SMILE! (Ok, fine - sometimes I smile while I'm changing diapers but not very often when I'm cooking, and never when I'm scrubbing toilets.) Cherish those golden moments, remember them often, leave the being perfect to the Lord and Thank Him for each day he gives you with your children because I know I'm right when I say this. . .even when you don't like them, you still love them dearly and would never want to loose them, or go too very long without them in your life.
