It’s time for another post.
So today is father’s day. I have
to say that 2 weeks ago the bishop called me and asked me to speech for father’s
day. He wasn’t really specific on what
he wanted me to talk about… just the role of the father. Well I have to admit this is probably one of
my hardest holidays b/c my father isn’t here anymore. So as I was preparing it I was truly dreading
what I was going to say and not crying.
The thought really made me want to cry b/c I didn’t know what route to
take. Sometimes being given free range truly
makes it harder. Well you will be happy
to know that I got through my entire talk without one tear shed. I don’t even thing I got weepy in my
voice. So I was really excited. I ended up taking 20 minutes which I thought
was pretty good.
So father’s day is pretty low key. Tait asked for fiesta lime chicken, which I
haven’t had true success in making this at home. This is usually an Applebee’s dish that we
both get… so I able to get it pretty close.
I even got Maya to get 3 pieces.
This is HUGE for me… she never likes what I cook. We are doing Pizza for dinner so again pretty
low key. I took the kids to the park to
give him a break. He enjoyed himself I
think. He was able watch the master’s so
I think he was digging it. Tait,
Nikolai, and I all fell asleep. The
girls kept watch over the house… we were all down stairs so there was no
threat.
So I have to say I’m kind of stuck. My house stinks. These 5 cats are slowing taking over my house
and I can’t stand it. I listed the 3
kittens online and of course I have had NO response for them. I don’t know what to do but I can’t stand
it. Tait is constantly complaining about
changing the cat boxes. Since we have so
many we have to change it like every other day.
I said I would like to just put
them outside permanently and of course Tait does not love that b/c we live
close to a busy road and he doesn’t want them to be killed and we have to bury
them. So if any one has any ideas on how
to combat cat smell… I’m open for suggestions.
Another piece of interesting information… is I was contacted
by Wabash DCS for a position for them… I’m supposed to interview for them. I have to say I’m a little nervous and
wondering if this is the path I should choose.
I don’t know… I guess we’ll cross the path when we get here… but that’s
kind of where I’m at… I had my evaluation at work and it went really well. I have a few things to work on but pay is
always a concern for my life… I mean I make beans… but to switch jobs means yes
a pay raise but it comes with a lot more stress. And I’m going to have 4 children… do I want
that kind of stress…. I don’t know… I guess I will have to make that decision
after I interview.
So that’s life I guess… still moving… still growing…
The baby is doing great… my gut is telling me it’s going to
be a girl. We have a name picked out
Odessa Layne. My skin is breaking out
like CRAZY. I can’t stand it… I did get my hair cut… I was trying to grow
it out… but couldn’t do it… I just don’t do long hair… it just doesn’t appeal
to me… I don’t mind a little length… but
shorter works more for my style.
Maya goes to Riley for testing on June 25th. I think it should be interesting for her and
us. I don’t know what to expect or what
kind of expectations to have. But I’ll let
you know what we find out.
Lehna dropped 20 lbs this spring. She was so excited. She saw her dance pictures and said “I think
the camera is making me fat.” So I just
have to keep encouraging her to stay active.
Nikolai is still our little escape artist… it’s driving me
insane. I took the kids to the park
today and I was following Nikolai up to the concession stand… he went around the
corner… and was GONE! I was following
the kid for goodness sakes! So I went
around the building and he must have just gone around the building and went
back to the park… but I grabbed his hand and we were off home… I can’t get him
to understand that he can’t run off it’s driving me nuts!!!
So that’s life…

I bet the talking in front of everyone on Father's Day was extremely hard for you. Thats awesome that you were able to hold it together and get it done :) I know your Dad is smiling down on you <3
Good luck with the testing. Hopefully you all can get some answers to help her in school more.
What would your position at DCS be? Is it a lot more money? I would definitely weigh the pros and cons for sure. I still need to figure out "what I want to be when I grow up" lol
I feel you about the weight issue. Aubs has always been chunky. I am hoping this summer she will shed some of the extra weight (myself too). It's so hard.
I hope you can figure out a way to keep Nikolai from running away. It's definitely going to be a HUGE challenge once the new little one is here. Will he wear one of those bookbag/leash type things? Thats the only thing that would work with BJ (although his was just a wrist thing and not nearly as cute as what they have out now).
Sarah,
It's an investigator position. It's WAY more money. It's a $7 pay raise so well worth the change. We have a book bag lease thing that we just got for him but he's running away when we are at the park which is more difficult for him to have it on b/c he is playing when he just takes off... he just has no fear of being forgotten or missing.
