Twilight


Well Saturday Jennie and I were at Deseret Book and picked up a copy of Twilight. I saw it on every ones blogs so I fell into peer pressure and took Jennie down with me. I talked to her yesterday and she was hooked. She said she finally put it down cause her eyes were hurting so bad. She also wanted to know if there was a sequel. I starred at the book all day avoiding it because I knew I didn't have time to dig in. So last night I finally started it and now I'm counting the seconds till I can start reading it. I thought I'd better blog for a minute. Megan and Heather (my sister- in- law) get mad if there is not a new blog everyday. So I have obviously failed them lately. Anyway take my poll and help me convince those two they need blogs they are both very entertaining. Thanks!

I am a Mother

Lately I have been feeling discouraged about my job as a Mother. My three year old is giving me such a hard time ever since we've had our baby. Sometimes I feel like I can't do anything right or I'm just a bad mom. I've also spent a lot of time without the help of my husband in the evenings. He's been working a lot lately, and I feel for single mom's out there. Wow! I could never do this alone. Just trying to get two kids to bed at night would drive me to insanity. So I've been reading Jane Clayson Johnson's book called "I am a Mother" and there is a quote in it that I especially liked in it.
"If we stop to think what we do, really do, we are building character, and tradition, and values, which meander like a river into the distance and out of our sight, but on and on and on." - Anna Quindlen
It's a good book. If you haven't read it you should.
