TV and My Projects

It is sad for me to admit but, Rachel is addicted to tv. Yes. It is one of the only ways I can really get things done. She will not play by herself. I have to work really hard at getting her to do other things so I can get things done. So this past week, I have tried to keep her busy until 12:30 and then I let her watch until we leave at 2:35 to pick up the kids from school.

This is Rachel in her spot! She kicks her feet back in the recliner.

I still am continuing to work out at the gym. I do it because I love the way I feel in the end. When I am sweaty and tired, I'm left with the distance my legs carried me. And feelings of power and pride.

While getting things done, I've listened to the following things on the Mormon Channel.
Enduring it Well - Episode 09: Beauty’s True Depth - Meg Johnson
Conservations - Episode 04: Elder L. Tom Perry and Sister Perry
- Episode 01: Elder David A. Bednar and Sister Bednar
- Episode 10: Elder M. Russell Ballard and Sister Ballard
Conservations - Episode 15: Sister Beck

These episodes are all so inspiriational!

And to close this post, I have to share some tiny accomplishments. Here are a few tasks that have been weighing on me for anywhere from 2 to 6 months, and that I have finally checked off this week. This calls for celebration! Laundry Room Painted, Spices restocked and organized alphabetically, kids school work sorted, dated, and filed, and paint purchased for the master bath.
