enin s skip to main skip to sidebar woolcott happenin s nobody said it would be easy yada yada yada wednesday june 30 2010 random ramblings so i was thinking about life and how i always look forward to what is coming without quite appreciating what is in the now we ve probably all done it i mean remember when you were 11 and just couldn t wait until you were out of primary then you turn 12 and you look forward to being a teenager 13 comes and you re antsy to be 14 so you can go to church dances 14 isn t as sweet as 16 so you can drive 16 loses it s glamor when you consider being an adult at 18 you discover you re only sort of an adult but won t be considered a full adult until 21 21 rolls around and people really don t respect you because you re in your early 20 s you finally receive the respect you wanted at 30 but it s all down hill from there each birthday after that puts another toe in the grave well maybe that s a little exaggerated but you get the point same thing goes for parenting you want baby to sleep you want baby to smile you can t wait till baby walks we want to hear mama or dada but at age 3 you want them to stop calling your name constantly you can t wait until school starts then cry when you see them off isn t life strange my goal right now is to strive to live more in the moment for this moment will pass all too quickly and i ll wonder what happened to my time and if it was well spent i love my family and want to cherish every moment i can with them making memories and sharing traditions what will you do to seize the day posted by joyful mother of children at 11 14 pm 3 comments saturday june 26 2010 a rose by any other name so some of you were at the relief society meeting about having quiet time in the mornings to listen for promptings answers to prayers and so forth i ve really struggled with getting up before my kids are up to experience this quiet time i ve tried doing it at night but my mind is too busy regurgitating my day so tonight russ and i went to the temple and had a very long wait i was able to have some quiet time we must have had a 45 minute wait i actually love it when i can sit and wait in the temple in fact it s the only place i enjoy sitting and waiting i love having a prayer and just absorbing the peaceful feeling the temple emits i decided to have a quiet time and clear my mind of all other thoughts this is not easy by the way it s difficult to sit and not let your mind wander to life i decided to try a technique i learned in the monk who sold his farari in this book he talks about meditating and clearing your mind by focusing on a rose picturing the rose and all of it s details i tried this after a few moments of a clear mind and instead of seeing a rose i saw this well it wasn t exactly this it was somewhat a combination of these two pics now as you know from my previous blog post i ve been having major fatigue problems and life has been out of control imagine throwing a baby into the mix yeah like adding a match to dry grass so even though i ve been wanting and trying to get pregnant for the last year i ve been considering just dropping the issue at least until i get the fatigue issue sorted out so what does it mean i don t know but i plan to find out through much prayer and pondering as you can imagine as soon as the image appeared in my mind quiet time was over i was so surprised that i couldn t clear my head any more what an interesting experience this night has been ciao for now posted by joyful mother of children at 2 20 am 1 comment wednesday june 23 2010 sometimes life stinks though i ve never personally experienced it i think there must be a time when a ship is sinking where those who are aboard and unable to get off of the ship mentally throw in the towel or when someone is dying and they consciously give there last breath because they can t bare to take one more i am a sinking ship i m throwing in the towel so to speak no i m not suicidal stop worrying i m just done done with the direction my life if you can even call it that has taken i m depleted if i was a pioneer i would be sitting on the side of the trail watching my family walk into the horizon i m really not trying to be a downer i just need to express how i m currently feeling gosh i really hate it when people are constantly negative and i think i have been lately so i love my kids i love having them home most of the time anyway i love being in control of their education i want to be in control of my home i wish i had more control over my motivation to eat healthier and exercise more are you seeing a pattern here i m out of control and that s normal it happens but i can t stand to live life completely out of control i m having some major issues right now call it epstein barr virus mono chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia i dunno i ve been told all of these at different times by different doctors all i know is i can t sleep at night i can t get out of bed in the morning and i hurt most of the time it sucks nobody can fix me i m trying to eat better and walk in the evenings i don t always eat great and i don t always go walking but i m giving it a big effort it doesn t seem to be helping am i depressed yeah because i am exhausted all of the time sigh so here s my problem i m letting my kids down because i m too tired to do school work lately i m letting my family down because i m too tired to clean and organize my house i m letting myself down because i can t do the things i need to so i m giving up no not on everything not on what i have to do but on what i can let someone else do for me that means educating the kids right now we re discussing putting them in school in the fall for at least part time i don t know i may have to put them in full time this is a hard decision for our family and russ and i are going to the temple on friday to ponder it well that s one thing that will ease a bit of my burdens anyway i m looking to find some other solutions as well i m actually accepting help from martha in organizing decluttering my house which is a huge step for me so i m making progress i suppose i started my organization project today i m about half way finished with my pantry i love that things are in labeled boxes right now and that i could walk away able to come back tomorrow and pick up where i left off now i just need to feel excited about something in life again that s one of my goals right now find a passion okay bumfest is over i feel better already i just needed to get that off my chest i hope i haven t depressed anybody i love you all especially those that leave comments since i m posting this so late at night and in a fatigued state i hope i don t regret what i wrote like i did last time posted by joyful mother of children at 11 46 pm 9 comments thursday june 10 2010 here come the cabbits let me tell you about our family you already know about me russ aidan connor coby and rylie but do you know about harry our pet gopher snake or suki our very mean cat or velma rachel rosie hermione isabella and miss puffington our beloved chickens well i ll tell you more about them another time because this post is about our newest addition drum roll please jasper the bunny yes the te o family was nice enough to let us adopt jasper this is a new area for us i had a bunny when i was about 9 years old but let s face it that was an eternity ago i wasn t exactly sure how the meeting between suki and jasper would go they really didn t know what to think of each other suki stalked around the cage jasper thumped to let her know not to mess with him after a while i let jasper out with suki jasper much to my surprise chased suki around and around suki just stayed out of reach and seemed confused about what he was and what he was doing well apparently rabbits will mount other bunnies animals to show dominance this is true for both male and female rabbits jasper caught suki and mounted her suki didn t know what the heck was going on i separated them and put jasper back in his cage a while later i decided to try again well they played cat and mouse i mean cat and rabbit for a while again pretty soon he mounted her again the kids were screaming i had gone to the kitchen for a minute that he was hurting suki they were in suki s kitty condo her pad as it were i reached in and pulled suki out much to my surprise she darted back in naughty kitty she wanted the bunny love i put jasper back in his cage this was not for such young eyes suki was meowing and going crazy wanting me to let jasper out of his cage after the kids were in bed i thought i d let them cuddle so they head back to the condo i peeked in and suki was licking jasper s fur oh my well i went in the kitchen to put some things away for a few minutes when i came back in the living room the two of them were on the stairs suki was biting jasper on the scruff of his neck trying to pull him upstairs with her okay kitty this is getting a little ridiculous i put fluffy back in his cage and covered it up suki attacked me and russ on my way upstairs for bed she wanted jasper out and became a monster what a strange strange couple sigh so i decided to google this seemingly odd relationship apparently it s fairly common it was amusing to look up cat rabbit hybrid or cabbit and hear the silly stories people have about them it s not genetically possible for a cabbit to exist but fun to imagine what they would look like i m just glad they can make each other happy without any weird consequences is that bad of me posted by joyful mother of children at 12 12 am 6 comments monday february 8 2010 well hello there i ve neglected my blog lately as some have pointed out i just thought i d check in with an update on our little ol family russ job is going well in fact he was offered a position on a new team last week it s a lateral move but it s a newly formed team that s purposed is to save the company a lot of money so it will be high profile and they will be watching the best part about it is russ will now have sundays off yay so i will no longer be a single mom at church huge blessing homeschool is slowly but surely coming along it was hard getting back into a routine after the holidays russ schedule at work also made school complicated since his weekends have been on wed thurs i m sooo glad we can now get into a more normal school schedule i love being home with my kiddos and seeing them understand new concepts i love seeing their brains work and have aha moments the other day as i was teaching aidan and connor their math lesson connor said mom this is fun w o w days like that make it all worth it today is coby s 7th birthday 7 can you believe it i was reflecting on what was happening 7 years ago today and i got knots in my stomach it was so stressful i remember how sick little coby was i remember not knowing whether i would see him alive again every time i left the hospital i remember calling the hospital at all hours of the night to see how he was doing i remember holding his hand every day and then finally holding him for the first time when he was 6 weeks old looking at him today you would never know how hard he fought for life in the beginning he is our little miracle he is a blessing from a loving heavenly father and we love him and are so so so grateful for him in our lives i m not pregnant still i m on my third month of clomid and my fifth month of progesterone it s hard for me as i see my friends drawing closer to their due dates my previous due dates i see them and feel like i should be almost ready to deliver i should be feeling the baby kicking i should be hearing the heartbeat i should be buying onesies and bibs and blankets i should just be happy i should be grateful for what i have i should remember that others have suffered greater losses and honestly i am happy and grateful and i know that it could be so much worse and it is and has been so much harder for others i love all of you my friends i m grateful for you and i can feel your love i hope you all know who you are thanks for listening posted by joyful mother of children at 12 37 am 2 comments sunday september 20 2009 the good the bad and the ugly so the good news is that almost a year after being laid off russ has a job yes we all feel very blessed right now i m so very grateful for russ he s such a wonderful husband father friend priesthood holder and companion the bad news after getting my hopes up that this pregnancy would stick it s not i had blood work last week that did not look
