I had to teach that morning and again reminder YW is the first meeting block of our 9am church. So I had gotten everything ready the night before... all of my lesson stuff was on the table, the girls clothing head to tow was layed out (i'm talking rubberbands, bows, bracelets, shirts, dresses, shoes, everything). I had packed the diaper bag and had it by the door. I had my clothes all layed out and Kris had even ironed all of our clothes that night ( I know he is amazing) I had stayed up making cupcakes for my YW, but really everything was ready to go. I was planning on getting up really early and going over my lesson and frosting the cupcakes. So that is exactly what I did. I got up really early got ready, got the cupcakes frosted and went over my lesson, start dinner, and then got the girls up to get them breakfast. Molly was not eating (k, here is the thing, Molly is one of the best eaters ever! really most moms would be jealous of how much and what she eats, but when it comes to breakfast, if we have somewhere to be or something going on... she will not eat. Then she is totally ornery because she is hungry. Nice. So I was doing her hair while trying to get her to eat and get Stella feed. We were then ready to walk out the door, Stella spits up everywhere and I'm trying to carry to much out to the car at one time and hit the cupcake try on the edge of the counter and the cupcakes ALL go bottoms up! Oh my heck! Are you kidding me! So at this point it's 9 and I'm just hoping that opening exercises go a little long. My lesson whet ok. and then it was off to Sunday school and Stella decided this was the time to start talking... actually I think she was talking in EQ as well. Kris had been walking the halls with her. So Kris talks her out and then Sacrament meeting..... Really need I go on? Ya the girls ware crazy and I really started to wonder if I was going to come back. (don't worry everyone, I do every week. Man I must know it's true.) Then we had to go meet with the bishop to renew our temple recommends, Man trying to do anything with kids is nearly impossible. I had taken Stella in with me and she was all over, trying to get off my lap, pulling at my hair, grabbing the arm rest and trying to pull off of me. So when it was Kris' turn I took both girls. We were going to just sit on the stairs and wait for him, but then our fits started and I had had it. We went right to the car. Me carrying Stella, the dipaer bag, several books (for a service project that I'm in charge of, so people had handed them to me after the meetings) and Molly refusing to move, so I'm carrying her by her arm! (Hi! Can you say Child Protective Services? I'm just glad my neighbor, the social worker, didn't seen me.) I came home and put both girls right to bed. Then trying to change out of my skirt, I couldn't get the zipper down. It's not even tight on me. Well ya the zipper is totally broken and I have only worn the skirt like 5 times! After eating lunch I headed to our room for a much needed nap, and Kris said I needed it as well, I was kind of grumpy! When I woke up I had a few things to run to neighbors and then I came home to serve dinner. I had gone to the store 3 times Saturday to get everything I had needed and so I had tried to get things all done. So even though I had tried to get it all done that morning I had totally spaced rice... one of the main things, so we didn't even end up eating it for dinner. After getting Molly to bed I decided to down load all of my pictures and get some blogging done. It was then I realized I had shot all of the pictures from Lake Powell and Cydne's homecomming at the airport in the wrong format!!!!!!!!! Then when Kris had a patient call with an emergency and he had to go into the office, I opted that It was time for me to go to bed! Man as a mom I think Sundays are by far the hardest day of the week! Why is that as much as I prepare, I still can't be on time and I always feel like things are not running smoothly! Man this is totally my life, and the thing is, I only have 2 kids!
Well like I said there are a hundred other things to blog about, like Memorial day, Whitney's graduation this Friday, and all of the fun ins and out, but I'll have to find another time. Molly just woke up Stella on her way down for a nap, that means feeding, diaper changing, and keeping her entertained. Did I mention I found her playing in my toilet with my sock today? I have to watch this one like a hawk, really there never is a dull moment!

Oh, it is so good to read your blog again. I have missed the smiles it brings to my face! :-) That sounds like a Sunday morning I would totally have.
Oh wow what a day you had! I think the devil works extra hard on Sundays to keep us for doing the things we know we should. You're a trooper!
Oh Linds! You are an incredible Mom!! I am so amazed at how much thought you put into everything and how much you serve everyone (even when your own life is a little crazy). I never think of cupcakes or handouts or any of that and I just have to worry about getting myself ready (well, for now...). You really inspire me. No matter what's going on you're always so happy and full of love. I love that about you.
I love when you blog...because I totally relate!!! Every day is craziness!
You make me laugh. Glad you are back. I have missed you! xoxo
