We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we are peculiar. "--President James E. Faust

A day late and a dollar short...

So it was one of those days that you just can't seem to get yourself going...I woke up tired. Ya know? Parker wanted to go to school, but was still just not feeling 100%. He got up and got ready but was in tears by the time he was half-way through breakfast. Ya know when you just don't feel completely better and everything seems overwhelming? So I told him he needed to stay home one more day and just get a little more rest. As of right now, he feels great and is fever-free! He was sick for 4 days, I hope no one else gets it!
Yesterday I had so much going on that instead of washing my sheets (which is my normal Monday routine), I just made my bed and planned on washing them today. So today, I took them off the bed and was finishing up yesterday's laundry and have never gotten around to washing my sheets. I guess I've got about 2 hours or so to get it done! :)
This afternoon, I sat down on the couch with Parker and before I knew it, I had taken a rather long nap! Sometimes ya just gotta do that! Parker's baseball practice was cancelled tonight, and he decided to come with me to Aliza's dance. Her class meets at the Community Center, so Parker wanted to go play pool while we waited. It was good for him to get out! Here is Liza Lu putting on her jazz shoes:
When she was done, they played for a minute until it was time for us to go to.....
...her tumbling class. It is just up the street from dance! Then I played the happy little homemaker that I am and picked up pizza at our favorite pizza place, Ci Ci's. We tried something new: Cheese pizza with alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce. Of course it tasted wonderful...it's a lot more fattening! But my favorite part is the cheese bread! Mmmmmm.
Well, guess I had better go get a load of sheets goin', or I'm not sure where I will sleep tonight!

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
