Week at a glance

My week has been so hectic. The kids have all been sick, including the ones I babysit. Last Sunday was my birthday and it sucked, for the most part. I just felt bad all day. Thirty was definitely not a fun one. At least it's over and I can move on. My two friends, Jamie and Missy, gave me a little birthday party. Cake and homemade icecream...MMMM. My friend Angel, crocheted me a scarf, and I love it. On Wednesday my little brother came home from his mission. We all got to go to the airport and pick him up. It was so good to see him. Two years is a long time. All the kids were great though. None of them were shy at all, which was suprising being that they were all so little when he left. Ray and I got to go on a date last night to a seminar about relationships and marriage. It was so good and I've used a few techniques on my kids today and it's worked! Maybe if I keep practicing, life will be easier around my house. Tomorrow is Ray's birthday and we are going to a friends house for dinner. I think we are going out again tonight also. I'm sure things aren't going to calm down anytime soon either. Thanksgiving, Christmas parties, School activities, and Christmas is right around the corner. Does life ever slow down?
