Absolutely nothing new is going on in life right now. I keep telling myself that I need to update my blog but there's just nothing interesting to write about. What to write about?! I'm in a rut. Not a bad rut, just in a rut and I'm bored. Not bored of having nothing to do, I have plenty to do. I'm just bored of the things that I have to do, of the monontony of it. I know I shouldn't complain, I am just venting. I have figured out that having a child in school is a little gift from heaven. Am I awful for not being one of those Mom's that doesn't want their child to leave for school? I must be missing out on some kind of parenting phenomenon as to how people that have children are blissfully happy. I love my kids and would be devestated without them but I will say that I'm screwed this summer. What they heck am I going to do for 12 weeks with 2 fighting kids??? Seriously. They fight constantly and I don't know what to do about it. I finally get how my Mom must have felt with me and my brother. It's maddening. I hate "no school" days. Christmas vacation was.....i don't know the word. It was just 14 days of the opposite of joyful. Not to mention Jake's mouth had 14 cancur sores in it. That could have attributed to the hell.
Jersey had her 2nd ever dance recital. She acts like she's 16 the way she talks and acts about it. It's so funny. It was much better than the 1st performance and she was in hog-heaven with all the attention. Tyson brought her flowers and we would have got the same reaction if he'd taken her a puppy. She was just over the moon about getting flowers. They had two outside performers in the recital. One was from the Cincinnati Ballet and the other from the Orlando Ballet. I haven't ever really seen a professional ballet of any sort so I thought it was so facinating to watch in real life. This girl below is from the Orlando Ballet and she was like a little china doll. I couldn't believe how tiny she was....and all the cool moves she had.
I have to write a little bit about my dear new found friend, Josie. She moved here this summer and we started hanging out in October or so. She has changed my life. She's inspiring in every way and has helped me see most everything through a new perspective. She is also the most humble person I know (and the most talented but she doesn't see it). She plays any song on the piano that you tell her from heart and she plays upside down without watching. For real. She has an infectious smile and everyone loves her. I'm not just saying that, everyone DOES love her. She's gorgeous and selfless and kind...she's everything anyone would want to be. And she's a great friend. She's been dealt a pretty crappy hand though and is having a really hard time with things. I wish I could fix her. I haven't ever had my heart hurt for someone like it does for her. I know it's kind of lame to bring her up without saying more about what's going on but, I just wanted to so I have a documentation of this time in my life. (side note: does the comma come before or after the "but"??) She is leaving on her mission for the LDS Church on March 28th. I am so happy for her getting her call, am happy for her accepting this challege, I am excited to see where it takes her, and most of all I hope it helps her get past the stuff she's going through. I am glad she came to our little town and that she picked me to have as her friend.
Alright, here's some pictures from Zee's dance recital. I am sparing putting on the pictures from Christmas. There are just too many. The semi-freaky one of the two kids at the bottom is on Christmas Day though.
