Dear Children, you have been so much happier this week, this makes me happier too even though picture day was a bust...again. Dear Hailey, I am so happy and so grateful for the Young Woman's Program and so happy that you love it. Dear Kade, I have had more of my sweet boy this week. I love You! Dear Avary, you rock your cast. First thing you did was pour glitter powder all over it, get on your bike then roll around in the dirt. That's my BabyCakes! Dear Hazel, poor girly still having sinus pain, that's the worst. You are a pro on your bike now and had to move up a size. Dear School Book Picnic, I love that my kids are old enough to run around with each other and I can sit on a blanket and steal Britt's babies. There were different stations that teachers, fireman, police officers all reading different stories. It was a hit. Probably the best school function so far. It's I love to read week. Dear Foot Dr., found yet another great Dr. Saw all of my kids at the same time, was super quick yet very thorough and got us in the next day. Love it when that happens. Dear Mrs. F, I just want you to know that you are such an amazing teacher. You are heaven sent, really I think I prayed Kade into your class. Even with all of the things he is having to deal with I can send him to school and know that you care about him and I don't have to worry so much about if he is ok. You may go home home tired, exhausted, annoyed ha. I don't know. But for my child you make him want to try, you make him feel loved. And that makes me want to cry and I feel so grateful. Dear Thatcher School People, after our meeting I didn't feel nearly as alone and overwhelmed, it made me feel like you actually care not just about my child's academics but about weather or not he is ok. Thank You for your efforts. Dear Body, what are you doing? Feeling nauseous, dizzy, so tired I'm falling asleep at all hours of the day, out of it, then passing out in stake conference (if not for Will that could have been even more awkward than it was, poor guy people probably think he married a drunk) my back going out and now horrible headaches. I'm at the end of my rope!!! Dear Will, I am the luckiest girl in the world and I won't forget it. Just seeing your face instantly makes me happy. You are so kind and loving and supportive I don't even know what to do but love you. Watching you with my children and seeing their faces when they are with you brings tears to my eyes and a prayer in my heart thanking my Heavenly Father for bringing you into our life. I look at you and think "he's mine"! Despite what it sounds like, you know the mushy newly wed stuff, this is truly who you are. I love you More than Barrows Pizza. Dear Self, life is completely overwhelming and more than I am even capable of right now. I'm doing my best and that will slowly get to be better each day, I hope. I catch myself complaining about how overwhelmed I am and then I look at my husband and am instantly filled with gratitude. Even when it pours I know without a doubt how much my Father in Heaven loves me and my children. And I know I am blessed so much more than I could ever deserve. And that makes me want to be better.
