I know I said I was going to relax all spring break long. Ha! Like that's what really happened. I guess compared to previous weeks it was a little quieter.
We had my Grampa's funeral last Monday. On Tuesday I made my kids clean ALL DAY LONG!!! They thought I was so mean. But I don't really care.
Wednesday was a blur. I don't really remember what I did. Is that sad, or what? I seriously cannot recall doing anything other than going out to dinner to Red Robin.
Thursday we went to visit my sweet little grandma in her nursing home. Then we went to the movies. We saw "Gnomeo and Juliet". I could have really done without spending $50 on THAT movie, but oh well. The kids enjoyed themselves.
Friday we spent all day at the Phx. Zoo. That was alot of fun. And tiring.
Saturday Curtis took the 4 older kids on a hike to White Tanks and I did laundry....for hours....and hours. No lie.
After they got home I went to Kohl's to spend my $20 in Kohl's Cash I scored last week buying boring things for the kids, plus a $10 free merchandise coupon, PLUS (the fun just keeps going) I used a 15% off coupon. It was great. And I was happy.
That evening we went to the Stake Conference Adult meeting to listen to this guy...
...Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. He was so great to listen to. We were counselled to have more "Holiness" in our lives.
Then, today we had our regular Stake Conference meeting. I played for the choir's numbers and was sooooo nervous as I was on the organ and not the piano this time. Elder Andersen was a foot away from my left side. If I had decided to suddenly kick my elbow out I would have smacked him in the head (good thing I didn't do that). As the choir began the first of it's two numbers, he turned around to look at us. I could feel his eyes on me as I played, and I silently prayed "Please don't mess up. Please don't mess up."
It all went smoothly and the choir sounded fabulous. I'm so glad that is over.
Now maybe I can relax.
As if!

Your spring break sounds a lot like ours! Nice, but nothing too terribly exciting. we went and saw Mars needs Moms, which I liked better than Gnomeo and Juliet. Also, don't waste your money on Rango. I thought it sucked.
Awesome about your stake conference though! wow.
Gee... no pressure playing for one of the 12. NOT! I'm sure you did great! Sounds like you had a fun spring break with the kiddos. Sorry to hear about your grandpa's passing.
Ha ha, internal dialogue... "please turn back around, Elder Anderson"! Of course you did great! You really haven't had a break since - when? Ever? :)
