It is Sunday morning. I need to start getting ready for church. It takes forever to get ready. We all need baths/showers. I think most of the church clothes are findable. I did go buy the boys new clothes last week. Lucas keeps growing and therefore I find the whole getting ready for church thing daunting since every weekend something doesn't fit him right. But, I think this weekend might be the one that he is not wearing high watered pants or shoes too small. We'll see.
We have been busy lately. Just like everyone in life. Jon is the new cub scout master. I am the new wolf cub scout den leader. Before this I knew how crazy 3 boys get. But, I had no idea how crazy 7 boys can get. It's nuts the amount of energy that's bottled up in kids. Especially after school. Thankfully we have a park that we go to and play at.

A new day and let me tell you. We got to church on time. It was horrible other than the first 45 minutes. Which I am grateful I had 45 minutes at all of being fed spiritually. But, I mean seriously, Grace is at an age where all she wants to do is run the halls. Plus she misses her nap so she is extra crabby. I got nothing out of church after the first 45 minutes other than frustration and being more tired than I already was. That's my rant. Also, I need to buy Lucas a sports coat because he does not believe me that his black pin strip suit coat does not match his navy slacks. It drives me nuts but he makes his own choices and I will not pick that fight with him. Therefore, the solution is to buy him a sports coat. :)
Is everyone mad and angry in this world? I feel like people constantly misjudge and are misinformed and therefore get angry with others. I have to say it seems like they are getting angry with Jon and I more often than not. I am EMOTIONALLY exhausted right now about all the DRAMA that people want to build up in their lives.
With all that said. I need to let things go. I need to turn the other cheek. I need to love everyone no matter what. Problem is I have a hard time doing all of this. I am not known to roll over and let people yell at me or misjudge me or say harsh words about me. Whether I actually say anything back to them or confront the person I still go over it in my mind. My feelings fester and I get more exhausted. I want and need to let it go. I just need to not care and move on. People's misjudgements and anger is probably the reason why I find myself being anti-social. This is sad too since I use to be a very social person. I use to love being around people and talking and laughing and getting to know others. I don't know what to do. Tell people they need to get over being easily offended. And if they want to be offended they need to first put themselves in the other person's shoes.
My rant is over. Do I feel better? Nah. But now you know me better and can be offended by my offenses. I probably have offended you at some point. :) I'm sorry and most likely I didn't even know I did. Seriously I'm done now.
I have realized why I do not blog much anymore. It is because Grace does not let me touch the computer. If I don't allow her to sit on my lap then she cries at my feet. And if I let her on my lap she just pounds the keyboard. I forget this until I sit down at the computer and then I am reminded. She is sleeping now. Well, she was until David yelled. She is not sleeping anymore and thus this post comes to an end.

I feel like we're living twin lives. Church is the worst 3 hours of my week, and it stinks that I feel that way. I keep reminding myself that one day it will get better--one day. And Owen does the same thing with the computer. He can be completely engaged in the other room playing and as soon as I sit down at the computer he's tugging, yelling, pounding at me. It must be a toddlers 6th sense.
Hugs to you! You have a beautiful family. Love seeing pictures of your kids getting so big.
I think we'll be in SD the 2nd week of April. We should try and grab lunch at a park or something if you guys are around. It'd be fun to see you.
I cant' stand chasing kids in the hall, I'm sure I should BUT, I sat in my van during the last two hours of church and let our 14 month old watch a disney movie. She was SO tired and finally fell asleep. I didn't dare move her. IT's such a hard time.
I'll be in SD all next week. My only boy would LOVE to play with yours.
CHeck me on FB if you wanna. I'll be in Poway.
I hear ya on people around you just being stupid and not taking charge of their own lives. OH and the whole computer thing with kids. PResley smacks the keyboard like crazy. Pretty soon they'll be grown right?
