29! NO WAY!

Our anniversary is today! Yea! 6 years! Anyway, last night I was lying awake in bed and my brain wouldn't shut off. I kept thinking of all these different things, among them was the thought that our wedding anniversary was tomorrow and my thought process went like this.... 'tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. Hmm... how old is little d? 5, so we've been married 6 years! Wow 6 more til 10 ....no...wait..... 4 more. Wow ten years. In 4 years little d will be 9. Little a will be 7. Little c will be 4. I will be 29... WAIT 29! I can't be 29! How old am I? 25? no 26? no 25.' Then I start silently freaking out cause I will apparently be 29 in 4 years. I don't even feel 25. Then today as we were going to dinner I was thinking that I don't feel any particular age. I just feel like me. And that no age comes to mind when I think of me. But I guess that's probably how everyone feels....... Right?

A little lesson in patience

So yesterday I lost my voice! To the point that all I can do is whisper. Yes this is very frustrating! Especially when on the day that you can't talk everyone calls and comes by. The Missionaries came by and asked for referrals and so did a real estate agent. Big J called like 3 times and could hardly hear me. He kept telling me to talk louder! (he was trying to push my buttons) I felt so helpless whenever anyone came over or called. And Little D kept asking me why I had to be quiet. But trying to get the kids to clean up their toys and to stop fighting and eat their food was a little lesson in patience! I'm used to trying to scream over them to get there attention, but now all I can do is wait for them to stop or get in their face. But its sure is funny when after I do get their attention and Little A replies in a whisper "No, I don't want to!"
