Tomorrow: Its Gonna Be Me (May)

Well, its May tomorrow; which is super crazy. The last half of the month went pretty fast, some days seemed to drag on but then I look back and they seemed to fly by. We only have 4 Mondays left in the school year, because the last Monday before school gets out is Memorial Day and there is no school. I wish we were done that Friday before, but no, we have to go 4 more days after the day off. One of those days will be our field day; so really only 3 days, but who’s counting…

Two weeks ago, on a Friday night, we had a sleepover at my brothers’ house in Rexburg. My sister is visiting, so we got invited. I think this is the first time we got to go overnight there and my girls were in heaven. My brother just bought a cold plunge and my girls and I did it. We sat in ice cold water for three minutes; my brother has done some research and it helps with your circulatory system and there are loads of other benefits. He hurt his back playing basketball and has been doing this everyday and said it has helped him. It was cold but I was able to do it and I wish I had one at my house to keep doing.

 

So Saturday morning, we stayed for a little bit and then came home. Macy and I then headed over to Rupert. Macy is doing her Idaho History Project on the homestead act and farming in Idaho. We decided to go over to where it all began. We rode the 4 wheeler and took pictures and my uncle told us some stories. We are creating a list of things to call and ask my grandpa. It was a quick trip but we had a nice time. We hope to put some questions together and call my grandpa and ask him some questions too. 

This past week was a busy one for Macy; she had dance rehearsal every day with her recital on Friday and Saturday. She decided to miss the rehearsal on Wednesday so she and Sally could go to their singing and dance rehearsal; I was in the car a lot but they are almost done, so that is good. At her dress rehearsal on Thursday night, I tried to get her hair up and in a bun but I failed miserably. One of my neighbors was there and her daughters hair was perfect; so I half jokingly asked her if I could bring Macy over and if she could do her hair. She said yes, and I was so grateful. Her hair turned out great. Her performances on Friday and Saturday went well; we had some friends come on Friday and then my sister and nieces came and some other friends on Saturday; she did a good job.

I played pickleball for 3 hours on Wednesday and it was great; I love it. I played with some ladies after work for an hour and then I played with some other church members after I picked up the girls from 7:45-9:45; I was tired but I burned a heck a lot of calories and it just felt good to move.

Teddy had his first 7on7 games on Saturday; this team is not as good as his grid kid team but they pulled off two wins. Teddy has been playing quarterback for the last two years but it hasn’t been his favorite. Last year at the team championship; he was the back up quarterback but the weather was not great for the throwing game, so Sam put Teddy in and had him just run the ball. He did a great job and so he has been practicing as a tight end and a running back. For 7on7, it’s a passing game, you cant run the ball; so Teddy has been playing tight end and they did good. The throwing quarterback has been practicing and going to camps and is getting to be really good. Teddy is happy.

Saturday Macy and I went to help some people from our ward move. It was interesting because my timehop app on my phone reminded me that it was 9 years ago that we were loading up our truck in Florida and moving to Utah; pretty crazy. We have almost lived in Rigby, the same amount of time we lived in Florida. One more year and we will surpass it.

Sunday was our stake conference and guess what, we slept in. I woke up around 11 and it felt good.  I then spent the rest of the day cleaning; I haven’t done a good job at keeping my house in order. My room especially was just a place to throw things. So I started and got the kitchen, living room and both bedrooms upstairs clean. I really hope that this week I can keep it that way. I wish I could get more help, but I am so soft. I really need to get my kids to pull their own weight. I will try harder.
