Church Church Church!

It was a challenging day today! Wow my calling is hard! This is Tuesday night when we were having fun! The Laurels (all two of them) came over and we cooked. We made pasta and cookies (it doesn't get better than that)! I used recipes from pickypalate.blogspot...so of course they were fabulous! We were supposed to do manicures at a nursing home but the laurels didn't get that together and I am trying to teach them that I don't pick up the pieces when they don't take responsibility so what do I do...reward them with cooking. It was funny though because I asked what they wanted to do instead of service and they said "eat" and so then I said "you want to cook" and they said "no we just want to eat." SO TYPICAL! They didn't get away with it. They did a lot of the cooking but they did get away with no dishes, lucky for them! They are good girls and I enjoy them but today was hard. I didn't feel well (I have a bad cold) so I was going to skip out. I didn't feel like wrestling with my three kids in sacrament meeting, husbandless, and coughing and decongesting all over the place. Anyway, I kept feeling like I really needed to go so I went after sacrament meeting and it was a good thing I did. My awesome friend and counselor said if I wasn't there she would have just walked out (yeah right Lauren). Anyway, we had craziness with our camp fundraiser which the girls are not really taking responsibility for. CAMP FUNDRAISERS ARE THE PITS! We are making fathers day cookies and we had to try to collect all the money today. Two of the other leaders were MIA so Lauren had to teach all of them. One of the YW (in Lauren's class) was asking why we had to combine (she likes it seperate classes) and I told her it was because the other beehive and laurel teachers weren't there and she was like "well don't you have a lesson planned always, just in case, my mom always did!" She always gives me trouble because apparently I don't do as good of a job as her mother, the previous YW president. Wow I am really venting I guess it's good my blog is private! The YW were also really struggling with how we conduct. I have tried so hard to get them to learn to conduct in a nice manner. Like stand (they want to sit and slouch) and ask the people who are doing the prayer, ect before you get up there. I just feels like I am always pulling teeth! I had to miss BYC because I dont think the bishop would appreciate my three kids in there with us. So since I am on a roll with my complaining...this Saturday I am giving a presentation at our Stake Enrichment on Beauty and Fashion (why me...I don't know) but it is very stressful, then the next Fri and Sat we have road show practice which I have to be there for and bring along 5 kids ( I am watching Laurens as payback for her watching mine last weekend)...Brian's working...again... and then the next Sat church cleaning. SO my next three Saturdays are scheduled for me...atleast I wont' be out spending money! OK I am grouchy. 11:03pm Sunday night and still no husband home! Poor guy!
