Duh

I made a really nice friend at work, a older gentleman who came in every week for treatments and we were talking about teenagers, since they are on my mind a lot. And we came up with the thought that perhaps we should send the teenagers to work now while they know everything and then they could go to school when they are older (over 30) and don't know anything!
Sounds good to me!

Maybe(sing this from Annie)

I have a really great friend who is going through the adoption process for a beautiful little 2 year old girl. Elle and I went to take her Ellies old kitchen for her to play with. Needless to say she loved it and we stayed for a little while so elle could show her everything in it. When we left Elle asked how to get kids for adoption, if we go to an orphange and such. SO i was explaining about marriage and kids and that. Here it is;
Elle "so can we go get a sister for me from the orphanage?"
ME " well it takes time and money and right now I'm pretty busy with you guys."
Elle " When I grow up can I get my kids from the orphange, cuz having babies seems pretty painful"
Me "of course you can, we never know what we are going to have to do, when you get MARRIED in the temple you and your husband will figure that all out."
Yah like I could deal with one more!!

My adventure ends

Well Friday was my last day of work. I am completely torn about it. I was having a really good time except when I wasn't! like everything else it had some really great highs and some lows. It was a tough decision but it came down to this, I was exhausted all the time and wasn't meeting the families needs. We also decided that we couldn't find a reliable and good way to work through things like spring break and summer. I keep telling my friends with young kids to enjoy while they are young, so I guess I should listen to my friends whose kids are grown and gone and enjoy mine while they are here! After all I will only be 46 when Elle graduates high school and all my kids are gone.... or in my basement..... sigh. So I will hopefully find a new adventure in the future after trying to enjoy the chaos I have now! Some days work was easier than what I have here you know?!

Our fun filled weekend!

whew what a weekend! I need a break just from our break! Saturday was packed from 6:30am to 10 pm with breakfast visiting with family driving through for Disneyland then temple tour guide training,meeting my good friends new adopted daughter, driving 1.5 hours to Elles gymnastics meet, sitting through that for 4 hours than driving home! I'm exhausted! Today was the Johnston family dinner at my house and in between cooking and getting kids ready I ran Connor over to a board of review for scouts. While there I realized I totally forgot the Court of Honor was today after church AND.... it was a potluck! So i texted the extended Johnston family that dinner was cancelled and instead took my port rio to the scout! It was a bit fancier and more expensive than what I would normally take to a potluck, but most everyone loved it. I did for get to warn people that my salsa was a bit on the spicy side and hopefully didn't do any damage to my pregnant friend!! The COR was run very well, it was kept short and sweet. While I was bummed they didn't have the boys pin their moms, I was happy to be getting out of there within a decent amount of time! Next up finding Connor a Eagle Scout project!! Whew!
