And More Changes

2011-09-06T10:40:00.000-07:00

I've always wondered what it would be like to have my kids at school all day. I'm a homeschooler. I have always had my kids at home with me. There are some days when I wished they were at school. Days when all they did was fight all day. Days when the table was piled high with books and paper and pens and pencils and art supplies. Days when the floor was piled high with clothes and shoes

My son is in the MTC and my daughter is in China. We are dwindling here. It's Happy/Sad. Happy because there is more room at the dinner table. Sad because there is more room at the dinner table. Happy because there is more dessert for all of us. Sad because there are two less people to share dessert with. Happy because we can use the smaller car to go places rather than

Me llamo Mindy. Am I really old enough to be the mother of a missionary?! So, yesterday was the longest day of the year. The mail came at 11:00 am and with it came The Envelope with a return address from Salt Lake City! But we had to wait until 5:15 to open it because that's the earliest we could all get together. We will be learning as much as we can about... Santiago, Chile! I have

is making me crazy! It's been 10 days since my son submitted his papers for a mission and now we are in the Check The Mail Every Day mode. Exciting!!!

I Really AM a Runner!

2011-01-31T09:04:00.000-08:00

Saturday I ran 5K! Yes I did. It was hard and I thought I was going to die, but I did it, thanks to some very good friends and Ragnar teammates!

I Am A Runner...

2011-01-02T21:14:00.000-08:00

...or at least I am trying to be. I can run two miles now. I am training to run in the Ragnar with a team of ladies from my area who are almost all very good, very fast runners. On New Years Day I met a group of them for a run. We were supposed to run a 5K. My friend, who is just a little more advanced than me was supposed to come, but at the last minute couldn't. So that left me...and 3

Happy New Year!

2011-01-01T23:47:00.000-08:00

I just spent the last hour reading some of my old posts. And I must say there is some good stuff in there! And I can't believe that I actually wrote some of it. And I might even start writing on here again....but don't hold your breath!

I have to have a Root Canal...

2010-12-29T23:34:00.000-08:00

and I am terrified. I've made two appointments. The first one was before Christmas. I sat in the chair for about 5 minutes, then all but ran out of the office. But not before they made me another appointment for after Christmas. The appointment was for Monday at 8:00 am. Sunday night I couldn't sleep. I searched the internet for facts about Root Canals. I scared myself so bad that at

The Sun Came Up Anyway

2010-11-02T09:22:00.000-07:00

Even though I willed it not to. I even skipped seminary this morning in the hopes that the sun would not show it's face. But, alas, it did and with it came the drying of the tears, And the Lord, GOD, will wipe away tears from off all faces.(Isaiah 25:8) and with that came hope.

It's a good day when...

2010-10-15T22:51:00.000-07:00

...you are getting out of your car with your three daughters and the new 9 year old neighbor kid who's coming to play with your son asks, "Now, which one of you is the mom?" And please go see "You Again". Best chick-flick ever!

This is how Things Really Are

2010-07-04T23:36:00.000-07:00

So at around 10:00 pm this evening I got on my computer so that I could just quickly print off this talk for my daughter to read because I think she spends too much time on her computer. But before I went to that talk I checked my email and then some of my blogs. Then I started to get off only to remember that I hadn't printed off the talk for her. It is now 11:34. Maybe I need to read the

Zzzzz......

My phone is slowing way down...it's so slow that it's almost dead. My computer is slowing way down...it's almost dead too. I wish my life would slow down... But not to where I am dead. Just to where I can handle it again...

SIX PACK ABS.....GUARANTEED!!!!

2010-06-16T17:13:00.000-07:00

I have found a new form of exercise...guaranteed to give you six-pack abs or your money back!!!! All you have to do is catch a cold, or the flu, or pneumonia...which ever floats your boat. Then when your lungs are filled up with fluid, just start coughing....and coughing.....and coughing. Try to take a deep breath (that is if you can get past the sharp pain in your lungs). Repeat for as many sets

So Very Blessed

Today while running errands I listened to Dennis Prager. A caller was telling a story about a friend of his who is a quadriplegic. To sum up, his friend was wheeled into a room with a young man who was also a quadriplegic. The friend tried to initiate a conversation with the young man only to discover that the young man was paralyzed from the mouth down, so could not speak. The friend kept
