Another Busy Week

Thursday night, James worked mosquito abatement, so the kids and I just hung out. He didn't work Friday afternoon due to bad weather, so we still did our family movie night.

Saturday morning, he worked while the kids and I did some small projects at home. The weather was nice enough for them to play outside a lot of the day. James got home in time for us to switch off going to stake conference meetings.

We had stake conference on Sunday too, and we decided to sit in a room with video, not just audio. It worked great because the kids were able to color and move around a little without distracting anyone, and James and I were able to fully listen. It's just easier with video. I felt really crummy during the first half and was almost ready to go home, but I made it through.

We had a simple FHE on Monday. James worked mosquito abatement Tuesday and Wednesday this week, so I was alone till about 8:00 both nights. Tues. went smoothly and Wed. did until bedtime. I overreacted to the kids being late getting home, so there were some tears at bedtime. I know they have forgiven me by now, but I still felt really terrible. I hate being grouchy all the time, but it's really hard to be happy when you just don't feel good. Ever.

Heartburn is really killing me this week, along with blood sugar spikes after breakfast. I've been working on eating smaller meals more often even though I hate doing that. It really helps. I hope I don't test positive for gestational diabetes. That will be coming up in a few weeks.

The Heads are coming to visit today through Saturday, so that should be fun.

I finished my hummingbird latch hook rug! I felt like it was time to work harder to get it done. All I have to do it wait for the trim to sew on the edge and then I'll hang it up in my room as a reminder that I can do things that first seem impossible. I always have a great sense on accomplishment after finishing a big, time-consuming project, and this one is no exception. I have a few other small projects in mind and one more rug, but after that I'm going to have to come up with things to do. Challenge accepted. I never run out of projects for long.
