Dear Children, I put you to bed at 10:30pm last night. Please sleep in it's summer time.
Dear Headache, you plagued me all night long and half the day and made me miss church. You stink.
Dear June, I am feeling weird that it is already June. How did this happen? I am still confused at how days are so long but the months and years are flying by.
Dear Crap, yeah I said crap. Sometimes stuff happens just to remind you of how lucky you are without it. Sometimes people are mean just to remind you of all the people who are nice and that you don't need mean people in your life. Sometimes having no control of what other people choose can make you soo grateful for all the things you do have control over. Sometimes seeing others priorities and the things that they don't care about help you to remember to thank the Lord for those very same things every single day.
Dear Tingy Sport Camp, you are genius. A great way for older boys to earn money, teach and entertain younger boys and still be supervised. I love it. I can't say I would do this with any family but this one is a winner.
Dear Avary, your heels weren't quite ready and you have been in a lot of pain. I feel so bad for you and your discomfort. I am praying they will heal properly and we will know how to fix it.
Dear Nephew Lukey, Happy Birthday! Your pool party was so fun.
Dear Swimming, I was too chicken to get in. I didn't even need to enough water was splashed on me I was plenty wet. It wore the kids out and they actually just went to sleep when I put them to bed, Hazel even skipped her nightly hour long screaming session. It made me miss having a swimming pool, kind of. Swimming two days in a row for hours should earn an hour of sleeping in, right?
Dear Physical Therapy, for my neck and knee. I hardly did anything, but what I did do caused me to be dizzy and have a huge headache the rest of the day. I was not surprised to find out I have some major nerve issues with my right arm. I don't care what I have to do, just fix it.
Dear Hailey, we have had some great conversations lately about the gospel. I love to see you taking such an interest in the book of Mormon and now wanting to know everything there is to know. A natural consequence of reading the Book of Mormon... a thirst for knowledge.
Dear Hazel, something about a swimming pool makes you need to pee on average 15 times. I am glad you refuse to pee in the pool, but really, I wish you had a bigger bladder.
Dear Self, who knew getting really mad would cause me to takes steps forward. If I didn't have a bum knee/neck I probably could have run five miles.
