Way excited!

Drumroll please! There has been a surge of inquests as to what my new calling is. I am super excited about it! I can hardly wait to get started! It is the ultimate in callings. I am .........would you look at that hangnail? How'd that happen? I lotion my hands everyday. I sure could use a manicure. My cuticles, uugghh.

Oh yes, where were we. My calling! I'm giddy with excitement. I have so much to plan! What? I haven't told you what it is yet? I am the new............doorbell. Wonder who that is? Valynn was gonna come by an hour ago. Avon lady? No. She won't be by until Tuesday. I'll go see.................

It was Valynn. She brought by some stuff. Have you ever seen Forever Strong? Well, she borrowed it from Elizabeth and then she just brought it over to me. I've heard it's really good. Maybe I'll watch that tonight while I fold laundry.

Okay, so where were we? Oh yes, my new calling! Look at this pile of books. I'm so behind on my reading. So much to do, so little time. I think I need a second pair of glasses. I just got these in November. They help alot. Can't seem to read much anymore without them. I'm not really ready to graduate to large print items. We'll save that for when I really need them.

Oh, the laughter of boys. Mark had a sleepover with the Allred boys last night. They are finally waking up. Actually, Valynn woke them up. It's a good thing. Mark's days and nights have been blurred by the long summer break and the absence of a bedtime. We reinstated it, but it's been rough. You know, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink? We can lead Mark to bed by 10:00pm, but we can't make him sleep.

Judge Mathis. The folks on that show must be from somewhere in the ghetto. No, I don't watch it. Background noise. I think I'll change the channel. Or better yet, I'll turn it off. No sense in using perfectly good electricity that can be better used by the air conditioner! Boy, it's sure hot here! Why in the world did my mother move us to the desert? I swore that when I turned 18, I was gonna leave this state for cooler pastures. What? I'm still here.

Hmmmm. Brittany is off today. My back has really been bothering me. I wonder if I could cajole her into giving her mommy a massage today? She'll know by my knots that I'm really in need.

What was this blogpost supposed to about again? Let me scroll back to see where I started. (Pause while I scroll up and re-read.)

I'm back. My calling! I have been selected from a very select group in a very select geographical area to be the new..........activity days leader! This is the cherry of callings. Not only do I get to keep the rapport that I have with the Primary children, but I get to go to Relief Society too. Sweet Momma Moses, I've hit the motherlode! Jealous?
