Friday Letters


I still miss the parks in Reno, see the temple up there.

Dear Children, I wish I could protect you from every sadness and hurt in your lives. I don't ever want to be the cause of your pain it crushes my heart. Dear Hazel, you have a bruise right in the middle of your forehead. You walked right into a metal pole and it knocked you down. You said "it was right in front of my face and i didn't even see it". Poor thing. Dear Sis, thanks for helping me clean so I didn't feel so stressed about going to the broadcast. Dear Dad, thanks for watching my kids so I could go to the broadcast and out to eat, you even fed them dinner or should we say directed them on how to make their own. They were only a little naughty, good thing I said you couldn't spank them. smile. Dear Relief Society Broadcast, I didn't want to go, but I'm so glad I did. The last speaker was just what I needed to hear and it went right to my spirit. Elder Uchtdorf is one of my favorite speakers. Forget-me-not flowers have a whole new meaning. I need to get me some now. What a meaningful reminder of how much the Lord loves us. Since moving to Az. I have had three strangers/new aquaintences tell me that the Lord has not forgotten me, so I loved this talk. Dear Melatonin, it was late, past bed time, I thought it would be fine...It wasn't. After two hours of nonsense and my goal of never yelling went down the tubes I handed you out like candy(not really, only one, at the correct dose). I'm not sure we could live without you right now. I'm sure the kids wouldn't be sleeping without you that is for sure. If only you had the same affect on me. Dear Scorpion, you make me feel very unsafe. Dear Nephew E, you did awesome singing a solo in your school choir. I'm glad some one got some pipes. Dear Avary, you made me laugh when you asked me to read a note from your teacher that said "thanks for doing extra work" you said "oh, I thought it said I'm glad you don't have diarrhea" and then walked away. Dear Pintrest, you sucker you. That's just what you do. You suck people in with your beautiful pictures and you can never get out. Dear Parent Teacher Conference, I feel lucky that my children got teachers this year who seem to care about not only their learning but their feelings and happiness too. They seem like loving people. I love teachers like that. I'm crossing my fingers the speech teacher will be that way too. Dear Hailey, we started our classes this week. My parenting through divorce and your split peas. You said you loved it and want to go back, mine made me feel sad but thankful for knowledge and guidance. Dear Self, I need to remember to be patient with myself so I can be patient with others. Patience with myself isn't as easy as it sounds.
