pine wood derby

Today was a crazy day. I ran around finding papers for the mortgage guy, letting my house get trashed. I am about to go fax the 40 pgs he needs and the real estate agent calls and tells me in a few hours, the appraiser will be coming. Good thing she couldn't see my house at the moment she would have rescheduled. I got all the house picked up, faxed papers, painted pinewood derby cars, called tons of people, gave ideas on the primary act for tomorrow, went to town and got groceries. I don't know about the idea of going to town to get groceries when we are all tired and hungry. Really stupid!! You have seen them, the frustrated mom with all her kids crying and hitting each other. That was the scene you would have seen. I was pretty calm I'd have to admit. (pat on the back).
I looked at a few friends blogs today. Whitney's made me cry. She is just an awesome person. I looked up Amber's also. I can relate in wanting to have a baby in my own time. I guess since she was able to plan 2, having the aggravation of waiting, is really not very long in the short run. They can't stay in there forever.
I looked up the Landins. I tried to email them last night, and I don't have the correct email. They are moving again. I think Kelly is so funny. She came out here last year with her boys and Adam still talks of the boys as best friends. They only saw each other for a day. I love that with kids. They love friends so quickly.
Sammi wrote a story about her best best best friend Ananda. She hasn't seen her in four years? She drew a beautiful picture to go with it. When I get it from the school I'll post it.
Well back to pinewood derby, we made 3 cars. Grandpa Layne cut them, and while the kids were at school, I painted them. We made lemon bars to take. It was 710 and they were still not done. I took them out(they looked like unset Jello), and drove carefully to the church. Good thing we went when we did. They were calling for anyone who didn't have a chance yet. You don't expect church functions to be on time, and definitely10 min into it calling for last runs before the finals! I guess I have to expect something like that from such a small ward. I'm also glad they didn't count on the lemon bars, they were done when the vacuums were broken out.
The kids had tons of fun. Sammi's won her group twice, but didn't pass the heavy weights. Adam and Johnny kept putting their cars on and did that till they took the last piece of the ramp down. Tyler took all of the cars people left on the ground and pushed them all over the floor. Joe just got here! Bye!

Just to warn you I have terrible grammer

OK, you finally got me here. I know it's about time. All the kids are in bed, Joe is still out of town and it's 11:30PM. What am I thinking? I am on the computer not sleeping and morning is fast approaching. I guess that is why I am on the computer, typing away because I finally have some quiet time.
I was running around today getting all the mortgage papers ready. I stress myself in all the tasks to do. As I am typing this I am thinking about the lesson I had in Relief Society on Sunday. (as you may know I have a calling in Primary, so it's a rare occasion to get a RS lesson) We were talking about getting caught up in the stuff, that it is hard to remember to slow down and listen to the promptings that might be trying to get through. I know that that makes the lesson oversimplified, but it works for me.
I guess in all the stress of moving to Indiana in two weeks, I needed the reminder of slow down, and breathe.
I went to my Mom's and Layne's house for Easter. It was wonderful. I visited my Dad, and siblings. It was great to see everyone again. I know at least my siblings wont forget it. I gave them all the flu.
