Am I missing something?

So as some of you know, I have 6 jobs. They go as follows: wife, mother, Coca Cola merchandiser, Sunwarrior customer service, greeting cards merchandiser,Wonder bread merchandiser. Which means that I work with people, either at a desk or putting things of the shelves at the grocery store listening to people tell me that they wish that I would lower my prices. ( I hate to remind them, but I do not make the prices.) Yes folks, not going to college gets you 4 jobs that equal one full time job. And believe me I am not complaining! Especially in the time of life getting one job is hard let alone 4. I do feel very lucky.But sometimes I feel that I am missing something....like MY MIND! Ok so the work schedules are one thing but then coming home and trying to remember the schedules of 6 other people, I wonder if my brain might explode. I am constantly asking myself...Am I forgetting something?Am I missing something?. My husband says he is surprised that I can remember so much, but honestly I have about 50 sticky pads that help remember whether I have brushed my teeth to whether or not I have paid any bills. I do truly love taking our very active children to all their various activites, but I have to admit, when Bella can drive and can have people in the car, she will be our personal chauffeur.And I know that my children are older and they can remember their own things, but they are also adolescences so the thought that they remember much of anything other then what they ate for lunch is highly unlikely. So there you have it, I might be losing my mind, but don't worry I will have a sticky note somewhere that will remind me where I left it.

In honor of a great mother.

I am writing this about a great mother that I know...and I know quite a lot of them.This one in particular has sparked an interest in me over the last little while and I am to shy( yes, it's true) to tell her how I feel about her. In fact, truth be told I can't believe that her and I are friends. Meaning...that we seem so different in some ways and I really can't believe that she still likes me! My friend Kathryn is one of those moms that you look at and she is so amazing you go home and are always in awe. She is so strong in the gospel, knows and studies the scriptures and when she talks, you listen. She has 5 wonderful children, 4 of whom are boys...very active boys...very, very active. Oh and did I mention that she is absolutely gorgeous? Yup, it's true. She has beautiful black hair, gorgeous blue eyes and and killer smile. I notice with Kathryn though, that she never makes you feel like you aren't important as well. She will ask your opinion of daily life and how you handle things, when in fact, she's the one that should be giving the advice.She is a great mother, who looks at this time of raising kids as a truly short time, a time to get all the info. to them that you possibly can so that then they can go and be good people. I look at it as a looooong journey and think, wow when will this end. But now I really do look at things differently thanks to her. I am grateful for my friend Kathryn. Happy Mother's Day!
