This is a picture of me right now... at the end of a very crazy day. I was up at 5:30 to finish work on a new product my company was launching. The launch came after an intense 1 1/2 hour online Webinar at 12. This resulted in an onslaught of calls and emails that I was determined to get to before the end of the day. I don't think I'll be making much on this venture any time soon in this crazy market - but the ultimate hope is that it will fund 3 1/2 college educations, a couple of missions, weddings and a cabin in the mountains. Oh - and a boat for Greg the egg.
I also had to finish up work on the Primary Program and Fall Festival - both of which I am in charge of. I think I only screwed up on a few things. Then I had to write an article for my next newsletter and edit a guest article.
It didn't end there... I started painting the last coat of the "not-because-I-wanted-to-remodel-it" bathroom project that has taken 3 weeks. Luckily, Robert was home by this time and was doing the detail part I hate. I took a break and wrapped Christmas presents to take on our trip next week. Finished a quilt (I won't tell you who it is for) and worked on details for Kayla's open house Sunday.
I made a few visiting teaching phone calls, cooked dinner and filled out Kayla's shot record for her to take to the MTC. When I got frustrated at her disaster of a room (it looks 10 times worse than the picture below) Kayla said it is my fault for not making her clean her room as a teenager - so she has bad habits now. That didn't irk me at all! She must want me to look forward to her leaving!
It's 10 p.m. and I'm happy... that's an awful lot to face in one day and I did it! Tomorrow is another day and the to-do list is shorter. Sounds like a good one to me.

Bliss-
You crack me up :)- you also amaze me with everything that you accomplish. I have never met a person who does more to serve other people. You are such an example to me! I hope everything goes well with your trip to Utah and seeing Kayal off.
Thanks for the info about the Johnsons- we were heartbroken when we heard. They will definately be in our prayers.
We are excited about our new arrival too! We are having another boy and he is due on January 30th. This links to our blog and there are some recent ultrasound photos on there :).
Hope all is well there - we miss you all!
