Non-Stop Week!

So life has been pretty darn busy around here lately. I am not complaining because I would rather be busy that not have much to do. But here is the break down on how my last week had been.

Thursday 6/7
Got home from Moscow, unloaded the car, let the kids run, weeded the garden, did a load of laundry, packed stuff into the car for a yard sale I was doing with my mom. Then repacked bags so that I could go to Twin and stay at my moms so that I could get up early for the yard sale the next morning.

Friday 6/8
Got up early and we got the yard sale set up and it went from 8-1pm. Then we packed everything up so that we could get up and do it all over again the next day. Then I went and mowed lawn at my grandparents. I was then able to head home for a night! So then I got home and got a few more things ready for the yard sale the next day and went to bed.

Saturday 6/9
Got up early again and headed to Twin with the kids for the second day of the yard sale. We got things set up and then a few hours into the yard sale it started to rain and so we put things away and called it quits for the day. (so we are going to have a yard sale again in July) So then I had to go into town to get some ribbon to make a few bows for a lady. I spent a few hours doing that and then the kids and I headed home, but stopped at Flint and Lisas house to say hi. Lisa and I went through some of her kitchen cupboard and organized them. Then we headed home, with Matthew, to relax and get ready for church.

Sunday 6/10
I had to get up and get ready early because I had ward council. So Matthew had to get the kids ready and bring them to church. Primary is always hectic and most Sundays I come home exhausted and not sure that I got anything from it. But it is always nice to go! So then we came home and ate lunch and we were able to go hang out at Flint and Lisa's. I think I love Sundays because I know that it is a day that I will get to relax, because I never plan anything! Brandon and Maricela come out and Zac and Laura were there, so it is always fun to have family get together. We came home and I spent the evening making the bows for the lady that placed an order, because I needed to sent them out Monday and that was the only time I had before Monday. So it was another late night!

Monday 6/11
I had to get up and head back into Twin for an appointment. Then after my appointment the kids and I stopped by my moms house to help her with her house that she is remodeling. So we spent quite a few hours there and didnt get home until about 7pm. So then we actually spent some family time together and then I went for a little run. I am determined to get into shape so that I can run in the 5k before the 4th of July run this year. 

Tuesday 6/12
A repair man came out and looked at my dishwasher and he had to order parts so my dishwasher is out of commission until the 25th. Then I headed down to help Lisa start rearranging her rooms. We all pitched in and painted Tianna's room a light blue, because she is turning it into her sewing/craft/guest room. Then after we got started moving stuff around she decided that she also wanted to paint the walls in the room we turning into the kids playroom. So we decided on a different color for each wall and started painting! (I will post a picture when it is all completed). I ran again which is a new record for me, 2 night in a row!

Wednesday 6/13
The kids and I slept in! YAY! I gave them a bath and then we headed outside to mow our lawn. Then after mowing our lawn we headed over to the Garners to eat lunch and spend the afternoon with Shauna. So we ate lunch and then I helped her with a little errand and then we planted her garden. Then kids wanted to swim in the cuzzi (Jacuzzi). So Shauna and I talked and had a good time. Then the kids and I headed home for another late night. But I was also able to get a run in before bed, 3 days in a row, after I was done running I literally couldnt walk (guess thats what I get for being lazy and letting myself get out of shape!) and then just went to bed. 

Thursday 6/14
Had a presidency meeting in the morning and Laura was nice enough to watch my kids so that I didn't have to drag them to yet another presidency meeting. So I was able to get more accomplished at my meetings besides chasing kids and they got to play with Carson and Macey. They had a blast! Then Laura and I met up at Lisas and did some more organizing and painting. We did as much as we could and then I headed home and was able to go for another run. I am just proud that I have finally done something for 4 consecutive days. I have been running 1.5 miles, but need to get to at least 3.2 by the 4th of July. In my head it seems like its out of reach, but I am going to do it!

Friday 6/15
That's today! Wow what a day it has been! We got up and headed to Twin yet again, because it was time for me to mow my grandparents lawn. So I did that and we always have a good time seeing them. It was a little rushed because I had to get back to Buhl by 2. So I mowed lawn and then had to go pick up Matthews pay check, stop by my moms house and drop some stuff off for her and then head to Buhl. So how I got it all accomplished and made it back to Buhl so that I could do my visiting teaching. My partner and I have two sisters to visit and today we spent about an hour and 15 minutes at each house. Which it was great to sit and talk with them, but it was sure hard on Logan and Ashlee. We then did a few things in Buhl, and I even stopped and got us all an ice cream. Then we came home and I put the kids down for a nap. I payed bills and I am finally updating my blog. Now I am going to motivate myself to go for a run and when I get back I have a messy house calling my name :)!

Did I say that being a stay at home mom is great! So here's to seeing what kind of a crazy week I can have next week. But I hope everyone has a wonderful Fathers Day weekend :)!

  1. WOW! You have been busy! As if time doesn't go by fast already, it goes faster when you have weeks like these, right?! Keeping busy though is better than being bored! :) Good luck on your yard sale this upcoming month!
