Monday

Can I just say that I am exhausted??? Last week was a killer. Monday I bottled peaches with my mom, my sister Andrea, and my sister-in-law Lindsay Ann. I did 42 quarts and Andrea did 28 or so and that was a lot even with 4 of us working on it. Then Tuesday, I worked my 24 hr shift at Davis hospital and Wednesday morning I left from the hospital to drive to Salt Lake City for a meeting regarding reimbursement of CRNA's in the state of Utah. It was brutual. Lots of MD's bashing CRNA's and stating "what poor quality of care" the people in the state of Utah will get if this funding policy passed. It is ridiculous CRNA's already practice independent in Utah it is just a reimbursement issue for hospitals. Anyway, when I got home on Wednesday Jared and I butchered 13 of our meat chickens, skinned them, cleaned them and froze them. THat was a huge job! Then I had YW's. Thursday we did the other 11 chickens before Jared had to leave for work. Friday I worked 10hours at the Moran Eye Center at the UofU. Saturday soccer games for Danica and Lynnaea in the morning and then I cleaned my house and did laundry. I recorded the RS broadcast but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I just really needed to get some things done Saturday. Sunday, I had saved one of the biggest chickens and I cooked in the roaster with dressing and we had mashed potatoes from the garden and it was delicious! The kids said it was like thanksgiving dinner. Lindsay and her friend Lindsay came out for dinner as well and that was fun to see her. I saddled Fancy and gave all the kids a ride and then the YW president and I drove around delivering announcements for the activity that I am in charge of on Wednesday to all the inactive YW. That took about an hour and half. Now it is MOnday and I am back at the Moran and so tired I can't see straight. Sigh. Someday I know my life will slow down. That is all that I have to say.

Funny Story: Last Saturday Jared actually worked a day shift so we went on a date that night, so I showered and then put on my housecoat so I could go get the kids dinner going and get things ready for the babysitter. Anders looked at me in my housecoat at 5:00pm and said "no, not THAT! That is for breakfast!" HAHAHAAA - Kids know more than you think and it's funny that he recognized I usually am in my housecoat when I am cooking breakfast for the kids!!!

Well, I was going to post pictures of my kids at the state fair but my card was full so I took it to Costco to get the pictures developed and then cleared the whole card before I loaded them on the computer. No new pics - sorry. Just finished visiting teaching and now I must go feed Lynnaea lunch and get her out the door for school. Later.
