Bright's thoughts

I think whomever coined the phrase "Time flies when your having fun" was refering to motherhood. Seems like yesturday my little boy was born. He is now eight months old. He is growing out of the baby stage and is starting to develop "little boyish" characteristics. Sigh! Where has time gone? What has happened in those 8 months? It hasn't been sleep as he is my first to NOT sleep through the night by 2 months. It HAS been lots of snuggling and cherishing. He is my last child. He is our only boy. He is my sweetest baby. He brings tears to my eyes when I think of him getting older. Before I know it he will be crawling, then walking, going to school, dating, going on a mission. Sigh, slow down time! then I look at my oldest who turned 8 in Feburary. Seems like she was born yesturday too. Boy Howdy time does fly! And I HAVE been having fun. My five children are a joy to behold. What a gift they are. Their smiles and "I love you"s melt my ...

My trip to Wal Mart Saturday night after DH got called back into work was a normal one. Five kids and I wandering the isles hoping not to forget the important items. I needed tortilla chips and turned down the appropriate isle and saw a couple. The couple were playing with eachother...you know how you kick your foot up backwards to kick the person beside you? It was funny to see two people in there 30s doing this. So I said "I'll kick him". They both laughed and the guy looked at me and said "oh, I'd let you kick me! Heck, I'd kick myself if I had a crew like that!" I giggled and went on. I thought to myself "sometimes I should kick myself". Sometimes I question my sanity about having 5 kids so close together and taking them all out at once. The looks I get sometimes are hilarious! BUT to be completely honest...my kids are so good. They are full of love for eachother even if they are tearing eachothers heads off. They stand up for eachother and...

Saturday was a crazy day. The girls wanted to sell Otter Pops but DH and I needed to be working in the basement, so I said "no". Sometimes I wonder if the basement will EVER get done. We moved in in September 2005 and we have all four girls in one bedroom in two bunks and three dressers. It is a constant mess and hard to walk into. Bryan has now been moved to the office and is woken from his naps constantly. I'm ready for the basement to be done!!! Dh and I worked on putting sheetrock up in the storage room. We are borrowing FIL's screwgun. Those are the best invention, atleast this week and the next and next. In less than four hours we got up almost all the walls. We have one wall with the bottom half needing to be done. I'm so excited! We have come to name the tools...the screwgun is "the beast". The Electric screwdriver had a name too, though I can't remember it. LOL, must have had a great name. I'm sure many of you have not had t...

My husband was going to take my daughter, Lindsey rock climbing but changed his mind. he wants to get her a harness first. This of course makes sense. He says he wants to go without her (with a co-worker). Normally that would be fine but he has worked late everynight this week. I have been having a pity party that I haven't had a break from the kids. I am the type of person who LOVES her kids but needs a break. I have friends who don't want a "girls night out". But boy I live for them. I love Relief Society for that reason but I'm in primary. sigh! I did hang out with a friend last night with all the kids. So the two of us had 11 kids between us....one of which was jsut a neighborhood kid. So I haven't had a break from kids. So when he said he wanted to go. I was a fence sitter and told him I would think about it. So while Iw as thinking about it he decided NOT to go since I had a hard time making up my mind. Thinking I would be mad. Well, I dec...

I know I need to keep a journal but do I want it to be published? Do I want people to see into me? Do I want people to be able to judge me for my thoughts? I like reading other peoples blogs and I learn a lot about people. So I will give it a try. I often think I am an open book anyway. We'll see. I don't have a lot of time to write out my thoughts. I seem to have a short attention span. Plus with five kids 8 and under I get interrupted often.
