A Late Night Ramble
at times lately, I ask myself......... can I really do this? I am wrapping up my second semester back at USU and I have had a seriously busy last few months. My house is neglected, my kids are neglected and quite frankly, I am neglected. I asked my children if they felt like I neglected them and if I should stop going to school, but they all told me that they didn't feel neglected and that they want me to finish. They know how important it is to me and they believe in me and my abilities to become a teacher. Somedays, I just wish that I could make the day last 36 or even 48 hours. Perhaps, more hours in a day would allow me to get more things done. I love my job and I love to volunteer in my children's classes. I feel that the more time I spend doing those things, the better teacher I will be. I spend most of my day learning and teaching which is good for the mind, I suppose, but my butt is getting a little tired of sitting in front of this computer doing assignments. I just finished my final assignment three weeks ahead of schedule. I pushed myself to get done early so that I can have time to study for my finals amist the chaos of running the kids to and fro and trying to catch up on housework. I am so blessed to have husband that is supporting me. He sees a pile of clothes needed to be washed and he does it. He empties the dishwasher, gets the kids breakfast, cleans up messes, runs the kids as needed and still loves me enough to rub my back at night. How did I get so lucky. I am grateful that I have this chance to do whatI love and be with those I love and if I fall a little short in areas for a while, I have people around me that love me enough to help pick up the slack.

Sometimes we run faster than we
think we should but it beats sitting still. When your schooling is done you will look back and
think, "hey, I did it and we are
all still alive and well." It never
hurts a family to pitch in
together and help each other when
needed. That's what love is all
about, helping each other when
needed. I'm proud of the choice
you made to finish your education.
You had your family first and then
finished your dream of wanting to
teach. It is a blessing to have a
husband who is willing to help
with everyday chores around the
house, after all you are a together
family, that means helping each
other. Dad and I love you and will
help when you need us (if you ever
ask us) Take a deep breath and go
on. Last week Dad had a young man
a student at USU come in to
initatory and wanted to do some
names before he went to school for
a big test, he said he knew the Lord would bless him with the test
if he came to the Temple and helped
someone who could not help them-
selves because they were dead and
needed someone to help them here
on earth. He really taught a great
lesson of putting the Lord first
and knowing the Lord would in turn
help him. Keep putting one foot in
front of the other and your goal
will come to pass.
Love you very much,
Mom
I am proud of you for going back to school! You are a great mom I don't think your kids are ever neglected, and your house is always perfect
Capable and willing people are aways busy. Busy is good so long as your priorities are in order. There is something important too about sacrifice. It is required of all great people and those who wish to contribute to society in general. You are setting a good example for your children, who will one day be called upon to sacrifice more for the good of others as the grow and mature. It's an important part of our purpose here. And never forget One who suffered and sacrificed more than all of the rest of us put together.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about the lessons and blessings of "doing hard things' Those hard things are what shapes our character. I am grateful for these chances.
Keep on keepin on.
You go girl! Women thrive on creativity, and learning something new is very creative. Your learning will bless your family and your students. Love you!
