My Reprieve is here....Hallaleu la!!!




Soccer is over!!!! After 3 months of helping COACH soccer with my friend so both of our sons could play I am finally done. I have been counting the days and boy did I barely make it. We had practices twice a week and games on Saturdays where I had to go alone carry three camp chairs get all my children to follow me as we walked to Bailey's and then Josh's game. Alot of times my feet were so swollen by the time I got to Josh's I could not even stand up but I was still there and thats what counts. I also got released from teaching primary this week, which I wanted for when the baby was here and out because realistic -ly Jake doesnt have a lot of sundays off and I just am not even willing to try and handle a newborn with a primary class. I did it with Jenny and it was just too hard. So I feel like a wuss and not a very tough lady but I am grateful the presidency gave me that break. I still have scouts every thursday night but I think I can handle that. BUT the biggest thing that has happened in the past few weeks is Jenny started HEAD START at the school. So she is gone from 12- 4 everyday. So I have NO KIDS in the afternoon everyday. NO kids!!! I have been shopping and out to lunch and even to the movies all by my self. That hasn't happened for over 9 years. 9 years people..... and soon it will all be over. I am down to 30 Days. I am so ready for the baby to come but yet I am enjoying my last taste of a little freedom.

no mom is ever a wuss. Sometimes breaks are inevitable, and always deserved. Way to go and good luck with the new little one.
