- Plan and get ready for a 16th birthday party on Friday (40 kids)
- Save 60 seats at the Easter Pageant for all the YM/YW in our ward (that was ugly)
- Plan a Priest/Laurel Activity for next week - Amazing Race (Julie and I have great ideas)
- Take Kenzie each day to a different community college to take her exam for dual credit - no one knows what is going on and which college she should be taking it from. It took us a week and 5 trips to get this accomplished.
- Plan, prepare and have dinner as a family
- Have everyone gathered for family prayer
- Clean house - started on Monday and I'm still not done
- Work out
- Visiting Teaching
- Spend time with my husband - not sure when that will happen
- Pick up at 3 different schools at 3 different times and get everyone to their activities - poor Alec had to miss scouts due to me not being able to be in the right place at the right time
- Be a great mother and friend
- Be a fabulous YW's President and help each YW that is struggling
- Prepare for Easter and 3 Birthdays that are occuring in the next 7 days
- Help a ballerina raise $ for summer intensive - not to mention all the trips to the studio
- Play basketball with Alec and help him with piano
- Watch my favorite TV shows - I LOVE Tivo
With all that being said...I am wondering what gives and how do you begin to spread yourself? All I know is that I have said many an earnest prayer this week. So much going on and so little of me, I hope my family does not feel cheated or short changed.
Life is crazy and I know I put a lot of expectations on my shoulders. Its the type of person I am and right now with 2 teenagers and an 8 yr old boy Its a crazy life! But its GOOD!!

If you figure out how to balance this will you please let me know? I think you are just way more organized than most, otherwise you'd just look at that list and start crying. I don't know how you do it. You forgot to mention "bake bread for your friend who's losing it." What can I bring over to you???
Oh man, it's Shawni. That darn Elle...
Good luck with that! The thing I thought was ...you are trying to do everything for everybody. Remember to breathe! Maybe you need a nice vacation to cold Idaho for some friend time with someone I know.
My house has a mind of its own and decided to stay dirty, because no matter how much I clean, it just gets dirty again!
Happy birthday to our favorite Smith girls!
Miss you!
Mom and Dad, Best of Luck "Doesn't Exist" just take one day at a time and don't sweat the small stuff.
