just a bad day

So I love teaching the class that I was called to teach. However, today I had my class as well as the class of the older kids. I had six boys between the ages of 9 and 12. It was terrible!!!! Next week I will have both classes again and it promises to have more kids. LOTS of kids were gone this week because of the holiday. I am really not looking forward to next week. I guess knowing that I have a week to prepare myself it should be better. I hope.

frustration

So I absolutely hate changing poopy diapers. Who doesn't? So when Bub gets sick and I have to change four or five diapers a day I get rather frustrated. This morning I was in the shower and asked Spencer to change Bub's diaper. Bub has no desire for the diaper changes so he will run around until we realize that he is poopy which is often times after he has diaper rash. Spencer was awake, but still in bed. Therefore Bub had to wait until after I was done shaving my legs in order to get his diaper changed. Is it really so much to ask to have a diapered changed so that I can have one morning a week to be able to shave my legs? I could be like some people I know and need to shave my legs every morning. So anyway, I am tired of diaper duty. I am tired of Bub not having any interest in potty training. And right now I wouldn't be surprised if tears came.

backyards

This is what my backyard looked like five months after we moved in

This is what my backyard looks like today.

trip to the park

We went to the park today and met up with five of my friends and their kids. It was tons of fun. The kids got to run and play while we got to sit and talk.
The hardest part was that all five of my friends had babies under a year. There were four baby carriers. I got to hold the youngest two boys and so that was nice, but if I sit and think about it to much the tears start to come. It is really hard at this point. I don't know if I should start having tests run or if I should wait and let nature take its course. I just don't know.

good day

We got a lot done today. The metal was delivered for the railing on the deck. So that has been started. We got the last of the gravel that we wanted for the East side of the house. Spencer learned how to use his new welder so that he will be ready to weld the railing together. We even got the long cuts done for the top railing.
We were getting so much accomplished that all of the sudden it was 10 and we hadn't even fed the kids dinner.

money

As I tried to pay my mortgages tonight I got a little frustrated with the companies websites. All I wanted to do was pay them the money that I owe them for my home. The whole paying bills is so much easier these days for my piece of mind. Two months ago I was able to pay the balances on all of our credit cards down to $0. Than last month I was able to put a large chuck of money into the savings accounts. This makes it so much nicer to open up my money management program. It is so much nicer to see that we are in the black and no longer in the red. It just makes me so much happier.

the things we do

I am getting ready to drive into SLC for the night because Spencer just came down with the cold that has had me in bed for the last week. I am not exactly up to going in, but if it comes down to me driving or sending Spencer alone when he is sick, I guess I am going to drive him.
