Sunday!!

Ahhh, we made it to Sunday! My kids slept in, sort of. We made it to church on time, but the beginning of Sacrament meeting was a little rough. Nothing that a little threat in the kid's ear can't cure. Church was WAY better than I anticipated. I had told my bishop that I was afraid to go because everyone in my mom's ward would look at me like a failure. I mean, really, this is only the umpteenth time I have moved back home (with my kids). But, all I got was hugs and loves and sweet, kind words. It's a GREAT ward!

It's been a week! I want to share a couple of things I have learned about myself:
1. My life has been chucked full of distractions. The internet, mainly Facebook, has consumed a lot of my time. Way too much of my time. TV has taken up a lot of my attention. I always had it on, even if I wasn't watching it. Then, the kids and I would fight over who could watch "their" channel. I had a lot of distractions that took away from time with my kids. This week, it has been all about my kids and we have all needed it. I wasted a lot of time away from them (even though I was always with them). Good lesson learned.
2. I have an amazing family. Period. And, I have amazing work associates who have amazing families. Period. And, I have an amazing friend, D.T., who spent all day Friday arranging folks so that I wouldn't have to. I am a lucky girl.
3. I have a firm, strong, immovable testimony of my Savior and of the Atonement, which is absolutely pulling me through this time right now.

My mom has what I call a "divorce book" that she has been keeping since her divorce from my dad. I was looking through it this week and found this quote:
"God doesn't give you the people you want. He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the
person you were meant to be."
I LOVE that! It's so true.
On a side note... Colton learned about prayer today in Primary. He has been asking me every ten minutes if he can pray to me. Then, he breaks out in prayer. It's SO cute!
