What's in a Calling?

Good Sunday! Pretty normal day, mellow morning with the family, spent a lot of time reading for my Sunday School lesson with my 15 and 16 year old kids and came up with a cool little hand out. Made Breakfast, made lunch, cleaned, cleaned, cleaned...still not clean enough, but is it ever? Got to church early, which may have been a first, Troy got a new calling and here is the sad news...I got released. I have never been so attached to my calling. I love teaching the Book of Mormon and I have so enjoyed reading it again this year. My mom sent me the best books called Book of Mormon made Easier by David Ridges and they rock...it is like having a really great teacher sitting with me as I read. He has notes and commentary in the verses and he brings out some views that I have never seen on my own. So I would highly recommend them to anyone! I think he has them for other books of scripture as well. Anyway I can't wait to see what they will use me for next...nursery!? Not nearly as intellectually stimulating, but as least there are snacks! Sophie is almost old enough too!!!

So here is my question: if you could pick any church calling, what would you pick and why?

For me, I would have to say...hmmm, I would pick any teaching position with kids or youth. Why? Because I learn so much, I really enjoy little people and its fun!

I Miss Meg.

Meg is gone and she took my Lilikoi with her. Now who am I supposed to ride my bike over to see this morning? Sophie is ready to go, Ember insists that she needs to finish watching Clifford first, and that is okay since I am not sure where we are going to ride, but I want to go see Meg. Think I can ride all the way to Sandy, UT? I could try. But what about Malias Birthday this week? We are supposed to ALL go to lunch it just won't be as yummy without Meg. Okay and what about Thanksgiving? I am just going to skip the turkey this year, leave it in the freezer until my heart feels like roasting the bird. I just can't do it.
Why can't Star Trek be real and we could really have a transporter and visit anywhere we wanted instantly...and freely. Then Obama would tax the idea and the manufacturer of the machine and the smart little men that figure it out and the people who use it and then me and he would just ruin everything. My world is falling apart, no Meg and 4 years with a socialist, friend to terriorists running or ruining our country. WHaaaaaaaa! I have regressed to Lily's age-and I like it here...

Rainy Day

It's Raining, It's Pouring...really pouring!!! I took the kids to school this morning in lots of rain, 1/2 way home Ember said , "Ethan's backpack is on the floor" so we turned around and I ran the 50 feet to his classroom and back and I was soaked! Back home for dry clothes and then Ember and I decided it was a good day for cookies and hot chocolate. Malia, Kalena and Kamalei came over to join in the fun and Ember added nail polish and makeup to the activities. She then declared it a girls day. Sophie and Kamalei had fun mauling eachother and Ember and Kalena dressed up while Malia and I got to visit. It was a perfect rainy day!
Troy is in the mainland this week, so although he is missed, it is a nice opportunity to do Amy stuff and not feel guilty if I feed the kids smoothies for dinner, organize the closet and leave it all over the bed...all night, play with my iphone in bed watching "youtube". I found a new treadmill routine for my workout anyone want to join my treadmill team?. Look at the bottom of my page for the video link.
