On the run

This past week was great!

Thursday night I worked for Mike.

Friday I worked for Will.

Just kidding. I did more than work. On Friday Will and I worked our sheep and herded them to the East side of the valley. It was crazy. I can guarantee that if it would have been recorded from above I could have secured the $100,000 grand prize on America's Funniest Home Videos. I got a really nice suntan, some of you called it a burn, but today it is nice and tan.

Saturday I cleaned around the house a little in the morning. That afternoon we headed to Richfield and saw Katie's cute little new baby girl, Kaylee Ann. I should have taken the camera, but forgot. We spent some time in the hospital loving on the baby and then went to Hannah Montana the movie. Thanks Amanda, Paige, April, and my Dad for meeting us there. I actually liked the movie. It was a lot of fun and the girls LOVED it. That night we headed over to Mace and Amanda's for a sleep over. I watched Amanda plant her garden (no help whatsoever) and the girls had a blast playing. We had dinner with the Sudweeks and laughed a lot. It was great!

Sunday morning we started our trip to Heber at 6:00 AM. We all have different ways of figuring how long it takes to travel from point A to point B. Thanks Amanda for getting us there an hour and 20 minutes early! Better early than late. We went to church and Emmitt was blessed. Matt did a great job. Then we headed to their house for lunch and again, Matt and Rachel did a great job! The kids got into swimming suits and ran through the sprinklers while I did another tanning session and chatted with Rach's family. They are a lot of fun and easy to laugh with.

It was another great and busy weekend. Here it is Tuesday and I am already looking forward to the jam packed weekend coming up! More sheep, traveling, and family!

About time...

Will did his driving test for his CDL today and PAST! He has been procrastinating about doing this for over a year now. He is required to have one for his job. He is so funny about tests and gets really nervous. His boss, Cory, and I were chatting on the phone while he was doing the driving test and laughing about how uptight he gets. If you know Will, chilling is not something he does well. Well its done and his response was "I never have to do that again." Those are the words of a relieved man! Glad your done honey and can quit stressing! (about that at least)

Irresponsible...I know!

So it’s time to regroup and get focused. I have been a major procrastinator and so unorganized that I am scaring myself. This is what happens when you can’t say no and want to experience everything. So I am currently behind at work, at home, and at school. Who can I blame? Nobody (except myself of course). In the past when I was behind I would spend extra hours at work getting caught up, give up sleep to clean, and tune the world out to do homework. Not so much as I am getting older, priorities are changing, so why aren't my responsibilities?

This weekend I stopped for 30 minutes to play t-ball with the girlies. Two years ago that would have never have happened. Friday night, when I should have been doing homework, I went with my parents and Mace’s family (minus Mace) to the ranch for a hot dog roast. We had a great time. The problem is that nobody did my homework for me while I was off playing, irresponsible I know.

My Internet has been down for a week now, making it difficult to do homework. So instead of going out to work to do it, I let Will and the girls take me out to eat for Mother’s Day. I know I have sinned.

So to the professor patiently waiting for the three assignments I owe him, THANKS! I am in the process of kicking my butt and disciplining myself so this doesn’t happen again. I am regrouping and will not let the process take more than 24 hours, as I don’t have any more time to waste.

Goals for the week:

-Monday-stay late to work.
-Tuesday-(1 assignment)
-Wednesday-(2 assignments)
-Thursday-(2 assignments)
-Friday-Work for Mike, go shopping for a dress, work sheep, wash horses for 4H, shop for girls 4H clothes, get trailer and tack ready for Saturday.
-Saturday-Herd sheep, take the girls to 4H, finish remaining homework.
-Sunday-Heber City

I may have to sacrifice sleep, appearance, and exercise, but I can do it, right?

A GREAT WEEKEND!

What a great weekend! Friday I went grocery shopping, by myself. That never happens and I was able to browse for a few things that I needed to investigate. It was wonderful. Plus it took half of the time it normally does when I take all of my little darlings! My parents came over and spent the night so they could help us in the morning.

Saturday Mark and Emiko, their kids, Will, myself, the girls, my dad, the sheepherder, and a neighbor boy docked lambs. It was great! It went so, so fast and smooth. We got the majority of the herd done in one day, not only one day, about three hours! Thank you, Thank you! We came in cooked lunch and just hung out. That night we went for a ride on the mountain. Will is famous for leaving the truck on empty. Well, this time it was my fault. I left the truck on empty. We got half way up the mountain and the fuel light came on. We continued. We got to the upper reservoir. Will and the girls ran around, threw snowballs at each other, yes we were all wearing Capri's. On the way home we let the girls out so they could ride their bikes home the last three or so miles. We had fun and didn't run out of gas.

Today we did some cleaning, homework, made a great dinner, and played with horses. This weekend they are taking the cows on the mountain and needed to put shoes on the horses. Ashley rode her horse for a while and Aly worked on just trusting her horse, poor girl. They didn't get to far, but they got a good start. I have got to start getting my homework done at nights during the week so that I can hang out on weekends. Spend my time cleaning, with the kids, riding 4-wheelers, horses, etc.

I am loving the rain we had this weekend and spring in general!!!
