Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

Please Send Me My Mother of the Year Award

This morning it happened.  The dreaded moment in every child's life and this mom's worry from day one.  Kyle fell off the bed.  Yes, yes I know-what was he doing left alone on the bed?  Well he was asleep I tell you.  I put him into bed with us at 5 and he slept very vertically with his feet in my face until I decided that one swift kick to my face from that little darling may just throw a wrench into my whole day.  So when I got up and he was still asleep I barricaded him with pillows.  Well Spiderman here just does he what he wants.  I was out getting Cayden ready for school when we heard the pitiful scream and cry.  We all ran to the bedroom and found him off the bed and on the floor partway under the bed.  Oh boy, was he a sad boy and I was a very sorry mama.  We checked for bruises, bumps and goose eggs and luckily didn't find any.  We think it mostly scared him.  Cayden told us that he thought that for Show and Tell he would tell the class that Kyle fell off the bed this morning. I said "Umm why don't you tell them you went to see Mary Poppins over the weekend?"  I would like to avoid the judgement from a classroom of 10 year olds about my apparent lack of mothering skills.
