Well hello there.

I realized I never updated on my foot.

I went to the specialist last Friday. They confirmed that the break was through the joint. It was only minimally displaced so they don't have to do anything else to it, he just told me that because it's through the joint, I'll probably have lifelong arthritis in that joint. Yippee.

I miss the having seasons.

It was 98 degrees yesterday and this is what my kids did...

It's your birthday shout hurray!

What a day.

She's five.

I spent the entire day cleaning, decorating, cooking, and entertaining, and I did not get one moment to sit and enjoy what yesterday really meant to the both of us.

I'm ready to swear off birthday parties all together.

At the end of the day I was exhausted (I went to bed at 8:30 last night), Ainsley was on toy overload, and my house is a disaster.

I had to deal with family and friends comments on how she was spoiled, and I didn't even her anything. Nope, it's all Jim's family that does this. It's almost like they have this huge competition to see who can spend the most money on the children in the family and I ended up almost embarrassed by the time the last few presents showed up.

Next year I'm telling them there is no party and to give her a savings bond for college.

You think I'm kidding?

yeah yeah yeah

Did you miss the part where I'm busy? Just because I have a new blog, that doesn't mean I'm going to be posting on it, haha.

I finished Jorden's school clothes shopping today, went to a bbq at my friend sarah's, and now I'm sitting down to prepare a primary lesson, yep, that's right, we've been called to primary...again.

I went home and cried after I gave in and accepted it. I'm still a little upset about it. 6 years in primary. 6 years with no relief society. 6 years of not knowing half the people in my ward because I'm stuck babysitting their kids. 6 years of dealing with my own kids during the week and dealing with everyone else's on Sunday.

I'm slightly bitter...trying to get over it....it might take a few days.
