I am just warning you that this post is mostly about things that have been on my mind lately. Take it or leave it.
- The end of last week, I would have said, "Blast these darn hormones, You are making me crazy." I'll leave it at that.
- I have been going to the Chiropractor 3 times a week. The whole thing takes up most of my morning while Gwen is at school. That is really precious time to me. It is the time that I have set aside to do my "chores" and give Beckham one on one time. He is growing up quickly, I absolutely love the stage he is in right now, and I don't know if I can give up that time. I know that I need to take care of my body and myself, but I don't know if I can give up that time. I haven't decided what to do. This decision reminds me of a talk from General Conference a while back about "Good, Better, Best." Now I need to figure out what is the best way for me to spend that time.
- I am biased towards my children. Keep that in mind when you read my blog. I think they are the smartest, cutest, most beautiful kids on the planet. I'm their mom. That's my job. On the other hand, there is a pretty great chance that I think your kids are way up there too =0).
- We had a really great family home evening last night. Nana and Puga joined us and it was seriously really great. For me, the highlight was that Liv wrote out everyone's jobs on a sheet of paper. She assigned Nana to conduct the evening. Each time we ended one thing and moved onto the next she would whisper in Nana's ear telling her exactly what she needed to say. Liv would whisper a few words, wait for Nana to say them, and then repeat. I love that girl.
- One of the highlights of my trips to the Chiropractor are that I get to talk to my mom on the phone while I drive. It's nice to have the time to chat, and it's nice to have a great mom.
- I feel really lucky to have the friends that I have. Whenever I really need help, they are always there to jump in and do anything I need. It is really nice to know I have people out there who care about me. They teach me a lot about who I want to be, how to be more faithful, how to be more caring and charitable towards other people, how to be a better mom, a better wife, a better friend. Not only that I really, really enjoy their company. I am so glad that every person in this world is different. I love getting to know them and seeing their real selves.

Betsy, I am sorry to read about your back. For such a fun, and active girl, it must be hard to have to slow down and deal with pain. I'm praying that this will be a trial that will pass, that you can return to the normal you.
Love you Betsy! You're a great friend and a wonderful Mom. Your kids are blessed to be a part of your (and Brad's) family.
I emailed you last night about staying at your house this weekend. But, it sounds like you have plenty of things to deal with, without having to worry about company. So, we'll make some other plans, and hope that we get to see you soon!
Betsy, I'm so sorry to hear about your back. I know how it is to want to do so much but be limited by something. I hope your back gets better soon. I wanted to tell you just how much I LOVE reading your blog. I always like when I see you have wrote another entry. You have such a beautiful family & from what I have seen & read, you are a Wonderful mother. So I hope nothing but the best for you & hope life gets a little easier for you...& Soon!
