a Good Sunday

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Fast Sunday is always a challenge for me. I can not eat, but the drinking is hard. Not to mention I haven't done it for most of my married years (babies). I felt like I got a lot of direct instruction during church. I guess that's what fasting and praying is for, it works! Had the family over for dinner, I ate my whole days points in one meal! It's those dang rolls, I'm a sucker for bread. I'm still down though. Today I went to the gym and tried a few different machines to change up my routine. Instead of going by time like usual, I went by calories burned. When I hit 500, I quit! I sweated like crazy. I used to get a little misty when I worked out, but now that I'm REALLY working out, I drip sweat. It feels really good. Killer on my hair though.
The school year is winding down and I feel like every night is booked with some kind of awards ceremony or concert or recognition something. I'm all about praise and positive affirmation but sheesh. Only 3 weeks left!
Stephen had his first babysitting job this weekend. Thanks Gena! He has wanted to for so long. Whitley went with him for a little training. She said he did pretty well. Everyone was alive so I guess that's good.
A few of my kids are trying out for this performance troupe this weekend. It's a year long commitment. I'm torn on whether or not I want to make it! It will be really fun for them. I hope Rhett makes it. He really sings well and I think it would be good for him.
The girls had a great time on their overnighter this weekend. Chelsey rode home with the Bishop and his wife. She said they were so fun and the bishop is actually a really funny guy! Whitley got the scenic view trip home and still loved every minute. This weekend is fathers and sons so us girls will have to find something exciting to do. I'm sure that won't be a problem!
