Parents are Everything

Sometimes I wonder if our parents talk one with another.

Recently I've been having a hard time coping with a few things in my life and yesterday I kinda had a small meltdown in front of my Da, whilst I was waiting for hubby to be off work so we could go home.

Then today while at work...mind you its a quiet week as the 3 stooges are in Arizona so I can work at home more this week...I get flowers delivered to me with simple message of "we love you" and I break down in tears.

How is it that when you try to be strong for everyone else they end up helping you more than they realize?

To both sets of my wonderful parents I want to say THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here.

The flowers are beautiful and they even have butterflies on them...so precious!!

aaahhhhh

This week has been a long one for me. I've been trying to figure out what I'll be doing with YW and finally tonight at Midnight I finished somewhat organizing the binders for the new presidency. I still have a few things to add to them in the morning, I'm just hoping I can make it to the church early to get into the closet, grab the cd player, crap I still need for the binders and make it to the room to be set up before the girls arrive by 9. Oh, and I'm still trying to come up with an agenda for my first meeting tomorrow during sunday school.

Aside from YW not much else is new, we helped our lovely sis today who has the most gorgeous curly hair in!! WOW can I say I'm jealous!! We helped harvest her grapes, and we both learned how to make jelly!! Hopefully it will set up as I've heard jelly can be temperamental to make. Hubs and I even trimmed one of her bushes and I'm a tad nervous she'll hate me for it as some would say I butchered it. BUT I really didn't!! I just followed the grass outline and cut it back...but hey, it'll grow back too.

Oh the grapes we harvested today, there are still TONS left and the grape juice we were able to do tasted so sweet and marvelous, I'm curious how it will taste once its cooled completely. Maybe one day...

Its Official

Its finally official and I'm still scared to death.

Yesterday during sacrament the Young Womens was reorganized. I thought that I would have been warned or something, but nope. Suddenly it was being changed.

So I'm officially the YW President, and I've called 3 somewhat strangers to be in the presidency with me. I'm hoping things will go smoothly but I still have no idea what I'm doing and just hope that things will work out.

For one, its been decided between myself and the old 1st counsellor to have a farewell party this wednesday for mutual for the 2 ladies that are changing. I want to get them something but I don't know what, can't really do food as 1 gal has major allergies to EVERYTHING!! So hopefully I'll be figuring it out today or tomorrow...seeing as this thing will be at my house.

Then Sunday, instead of a lesson I've decided on a question and answer period. Kinda a getting to know who's who and hopefully we'll have a good portion of the girls show up. Seeing as we only have 4 maybe 5 active Sunday girls and 7 active on Wednesday...that is if we pick them up.

Oh well, back to work I go!

urgh

I'm running out of steam for particular callings I have with the ward, but I don't know how to kindly yet gently tell people how disappointed I am in them that they didn't fulfill their calling which in turn is making me work harder with one of the two callings I have.

Very frustrating...but oh well. I just won't plan on trusting that individual to do their part anymore.

My honey must really love me, he bought me 3 new fishies for our wee pond AND 4 trees for our backyard!!!

Maybe Monday we'll plant the trees and make them sturdy. We have a maple, 2 black alders and 1 wierd named one. Its supposed to grow tall and skinny and turn orange in the fall.

Maybe next weekend we'll get one more tree and have our backyard planting all done!!

Yay for the long weekend!!
