Sunday things

I was thinking today about how all these love songs talk about Sundays and rainy sundays and sleeping in on sundays and relaxing and movies and whatnot....I think if mormons thought really hard about it, most love songs don't really apply to us.
Today I taught relief society about prayer. That was good since I really like praying and prayer almost to a fault. I think you should pray about pretty much everything and therefore, there is probably a backlog of answers to most of my petitions but I think I'll keep it up.
Then we had a meeting with the stake presidency where they released Gabriel as the second counselor in the bishiopbric.....whew! I finally get my husband back on sunday afternoons, I get to have help going to church, I get to see him on tuesday nights, I get an extra lap to try and juggle babies on in sacrament meeting while they spit raisins on my silk stuff......and then in the next breath they called him to be the FIRST counselor in the Bishopbric....oh well....for that nanosecond, it was nice to be 'released'...now back to the grind.
I stood outside the nursery door today for a while and watched through a little crack how big my Dellah is and how she learns about Jesus and talks and plays....it's surreal. I taught her (since we live next door to the Salt Lake Temple and see it all the time) that the Temple is Jesus' house and now she says "mira mami, templo, casa de Jesus'....cute
I guess I have a few years before she actually goes there and realizes that you don't actually SEE Him in his house (or at least I never have) and thinks I lied...for now it's cute.
Mexico beat Iran in their first game of the world cup...I can't believe I even know that but Gabriel is a little obsessed with the whole thing so VIVA MEXICO!!!
speaking of Mexico...the inlaw thing has simmered down since we got calls from both of his parents yesterday apologizing and we figure it's better to forgive than fester in hatred, racism and terrorism...what?
I got some nice things at Anthropologie the other day because Andi said I should tell Gabriel that getting some nice things at Anthropologie would make up for my current emotional strain...like a business transaction...you buy me this, I forget about THAT!...
I got a nice little bowl made of ceramic leaves and some perfume and a belt...which was too big and I'm taking it back...not big, good, big, bad..
The truth of the matter is, there has GOT TO BE a special corner of Heaven for people who can change some of these diapers I've been changing lately and keep their lunch down...I swear to you!....rancid.
I think Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's baby looks like she's going to be a mouth breather and I think that's pretty funny because she's just a baby, not the shroud or Tourin or something. I love how famous people have babies and all of a sudden it's like famous people invented 'the baby' when I'm pretty sure Eve invented the baby...well, God, but Eve too.

OH my gosh, we live parallel lives. I went to church today and LISTENED to a lesson on prayer and thought how I should try it AND we they called a new bishop in our ward who is probably the same age as Gabriel.

Andi gives good advice about stuff.

I can't believe how blasphemous you are about the chosen baby. You need only to look upon her and she will make you rich.

No look on Cindy and she will make you rich. Have you seen pictures of Cindy as a baby? Now that was a beautiful child. Except for maybe Marsha. But I am completely irrational when it comes to Marsha as a child.

Speaking of children . . .we just got back from the ER where my child just finished getting his third set of facial stitches. In a word - blood.

nice.

Sheesh! Andi! ouch...
I know, Cindy, I wish our lives were more parallel like why don't you move here but I guess parallel is good enough

I didn't go to church because I'm lame. I like to sleep all day, and work all night, bitches, uh-huh.

Erin - I should move out there. I just spent all my money, so no SLC just yet.

Andi - Look on me now and it will make you want stay away from McDonalds!

Marsha - You're livin' the dream.

Howdy Gals,

I have looked upon babies from here to there, none have made me rich, except for that one child in Seattle I nannied I made a pretty penny there, her name was Flannery.

I do not live parallel lives with you two, my lesson was on feelings. I asked those poor little sunbeams how they would feel if their freedoms and rights were taken away. They didn't get it, so I asked them instead how they would feel if someone took their cookie away from them. They said sad, I asked them if they instead meant angry, and they looked at me weird again.

Ouch to ER's, but Hello cute single Doctors. With all the hospital visits amoung our married friends you should be looking for single doctors to set Marsha, Cindy, Emily and I up with.
