Possible?

How is it possible that in February my youngest child will turn eight and be baptized shortly after and my oldest child will receive his patriarchal blessing?  Can I really be old enough for this?

New Year

This year I am focusing on a phrase: Don't overthink it.  Just do it.

It's already helped.  I replaced a shower curtain liner today.  I'd had the new liner for 6 months at least.  It was time.

I finally watched The Letter Writer.  I recommend it.  I cried, of course.

My husband got put into the Nursery at church.  He will teach in there with 2 other men.  Should be interesting.

I got another owl for the front room with a gift card from Christmas.  It's so cute.  You can never have too many owls in your house.

Or books.  I've run out of bookshelf space.  I may have a book problem. (right, sisters?)

I taught radKIDS yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks.  I was a bit rusty.  And the kids were antsy and talkative.  The 1st grade class was rough, so we ended early and they played with the giant parachute for the rest of the time.  They needed to run and move.

I know how to make a great fire in our fireplace.  We've enjoyed several this winter so far.  Not with the inversion, which is when we want a fire because it's colder than normal.  We can wait.

I heard a great quote from one of the Discovery Channel shows I was watching.  "Survival is not fun.  If it's fun, it's camping."

We're really focused on getting our 72-hour kits completed.  We just need to not overthink it and just do it.

That's enough rambling for now.
