Another month....

It's been another month since I last wrote on this thing.  Let's see what's going on...  hmmm....  My days and weeks totally run together.  I guess rotating shift work will do that to a person.

We took the children to the Mesa, AZ temple Easter pageant.  It was awesome!  I came off nights the morning of Good Friday, the kids were off from school, and John gets all holidays off (lucky guy!), so I slept until noon and away we went.  I LOVE the Mesa pageant.  At the end of the pageant, we waited for people to clear out a bit, then John went to get the car to pick us up.  While we were waiting, Cam told me he wanted to walk the grounds, so we walked around together.  I had him, Caitlyn and Caleigh.  The girls mostly like the flowers, and Cam just likes to wander around and look at the building and water features.  It's so peaceful.

The kids are still doing pretty well in school.  Honestly, the boys are bored and their grades and the notes sent home from their teachers reflect that fact.  It's the last month of school, and they still haven't brought home anything they didn't already learn in TX.  Gotta love Thatcher schools!  Caitlyn is a little social butterfly.  She has her little group of friends, and they play and talk about horses all day.  She and Caleigh are absolutely obsessed with horses and My Little Pony.  Caleigh is learning to use the potty!  She made poops on the potty even!!  I took her to the store and bought her a new pony for going poops.  She saw this really pretty barbie while we were there, and she really wants it.  I told her that if she starts wearing big girl panties, we'll go back and buy that barbie.  She is sooo excited :)

John and I joined the local gym.  I'm going for the first time today.  This shift work and eating all the wrong foods is making me gain weight again.  I've gained back about 25 pounds since we moved back to AZ.  I want to get it back off!!  Yuck!!!

I applied for a promotion at work.  I'm really hoping it goes through.  I'm hearing some really positive feedback, but won't know for another month or two whether I get it.  I hope, I hope, I hope!  I am so glad I took the time to get my education while the kids were young.  I can't imagine trying to go back to school right now.  You think you're busy when your kids are little, but as you add more children to the family, and they become involved in different activities, life gets CRAZY.  Honestly, there were times that I felt like giving up, but didn't, and I feel like the lord is blessing me at this point in my life for that perseverance.

I'll try to find some pictures, but right now, the camera is in the car and I'm too lazy to get up and go get it.

Until next month.....
