February 23, 2014

My hip rotated a little over a week ago and it's taken all this time to get in to see Scott Pensivy.  So I've just taken it easy and I've been using my roller a lot.  I think my hip has started going back into the right place.  It doesn't hurt nearly as much as it did.  I can do all my normal activities without it hurting.  It still seems a little off though so I think I'll still keep my appointment this week.  But it was nice to know I can help my body when this happens.

The boys are starting into their basketball tournament.  Both boys got asked to tryout for the NJB allstar team that has a tournament in California.  They were both flattered, but the tournament is on a Sunday so they both turned it down.

Seth didn't have preschool this week because his teacher was out of town.  We had to have kids over to play with him everyday.  It made me so glad he has preschool because he really loves that interaction every day.

I've had some really bad headaches and tension the last two weeks. And I had some moles removed on my chin. They were cut out instead of scraped off like last time. I regret doing it that way.  They told me about it, but I didn't really process what they said. I just thought it would be like last time.  This has way more healing time and I didn't care that much.  I just didn't like how my kids noticed them.  I didn't want them to remember me by my moles.  And my hip rotated again.  So all these health things have been annoying lately.

Young Women's has been going well.  I think I've made some good progress with some less active and inactive families.

The weather has been great.  We've had a really mild winter.  There was only one week where Danny wore long pants to school.  And this weekend is a 4 day weekend so it's been nice to be able to play outside and do a little yard work.

We have a lot of fun trips coming up and over the summer.  We just planned a trip to Disneyland next month and then Bob will take Seth and Ruby to VA, and then my mom will come for spring break, we'll go to Utah in May for Bob and Danny's basketball camp and to see Casey and Kami before they move.  And then we're into the summer when we'll only have 4-5 weeks at home after all our trips.  Hopefully it isn't too much.  But it's fun to look forward to all the fun things.

The kids have been fighting and rude a lot more lately.  Bob and I are having a big contention talk today with a few rewards and punishments.  Hopefully we can get things under control a little better.

This was another super busy week.  I feel a little like I'm in this never ending marathon.  All my days are filled before I have much of a choice for what else to do.  I wonder how long this lasts.  Hopefully as the littles do more school it'll just get better.

Danny joined the middle school soccer team and Seth is super excited to sign up for soccer too now that he's 5.

Seth has always had his way of doing things.  And if he isn't motivated then he won't do it.  He's had a little trouble getting his work done at school.  So much that I started to worry that might have some kind of learning or attention problem.  So I talked to Miss Kathy, his teacher.  She suggested we set up a really great reward and see if he can do it.  It worked. I told him we would go to Target after school and he could spend some birthday money if he wasn't the last one done with his work.  He did great all week.

Rachel has been "writing a book" this week.  She's been so excited about it. She's spent a lot of time on it.
