stumped
I have been stumped lately.
Sort of cause what I would really want to say I don't.
Like I got released from my calling last week and it feels great. Is that bad to say? People keep asking me if I am sad..... no. Not one bit. Should I be? Someone even said I should get a blessing to help me deal with the change. I thought, are you crazy?? Not that I didn't like my time serving in RS, but it was time for a change and I am more than happy to pass on the torch to people more capable, organized and energetic than myself. Whew.
Also, why do kids always prefer their dads? It sort of ticks me off. Not that my feelings are hurt, I think. But I get a little irked when Levi saves his unwanted pepperoni for his dad, and then when I eat one bite of MY last piece of pizza that I give to him- he cries and cries cause that pepperoni went to me and not daddy. Humpf. Of course I want our kids to love both parents, but maybe I want them to appreciate me a bit more cause I am the one that is with them all the time.
I am now laughing cause that is probably the problem. Maybe its my attitude sometimes that makes them not want to be grateful for me. Yikes.
I started work last week. That was odd and fun and interesting and mildly stressful at the same time. I got home and Josh had a relaxing bath as soon as I walked in the door. He wondered how I didn't need one of those everynight. At least someone appreciates what I do around here....
Lastly, Monet. For any love the boys don't have for me, she makes up for in volumes. She loves me LOTS. People always comment on what a happy baby I have and I have to laugh cause it is always when I am holding her. She is starting to really like her daddy, too, though. Her eyes follow him around the room and she will cry hysterically sometimes when he leaves the room. My challenge with Monet now is that she wants to be with me all night long. Her room is cold so I hate to ignore her when she wakes up in the night. I dont mind feeding her once at night.... but twice? thrice? After last night's opera performance (it lasted as long as an opera, believe me), I figure it is time to wean. How do you go about it? I want to cut back without cutting off. Any ideas?

I hear you about the cutting back on feeds. I am ready to be done. I think the trick is to take out one feed at a time. The middle of the night feeds are tricky....I'll let you know if I figure it out. Good luck with it.
I agree....change is good.
You did a great job in Relief Society.
Sweet...now I can come to you for my cleanings again. Same time, same place as last time?!
haha, i enjoyed that post. seriously i think i would be the same way if i had that calling, aww freedom, haha
i loved that Josh had to have a relaxing bath, i think that would soo be jeremy too..
you were awesome in RS that is why you don't feel bad about it, you know you did your best! I loved you in that calling!!!!
mwa ha haaaa, oh, I mean na na na boo boo, oh I mean of course they love you too! (oh, and let's try to keep my baths out of the public arena, can we? Sure love ya!)
You were awesome as RS president, and you shouldn't feel bad about being delighted to be done. I loved this post though. Funny :)
horray for being released!
and good luck with the night time weaning. liv and hal slept through the night from 6 & 8 weeks on. jane is not. and i'm a total sucker for her. i have a feeling our 4 am rendezvous will be continuing for quite some time.
let me know what works for you. i'm sure i'll be begging for some advice in the next little while ...
Oh, Sachie, you are so funny! I miss ya! You were such a great RS president. I do miss that Relief Society.
What a wonderfully honest post. Can't believe that Caylee took over. Sure glad I didn't move out there as they obvious appreciate my relatives too much! ;) The kids all love Jarett too...but he misses out on so much that it helps me. Good luck weaning. My kids just do it themselves. They're no longer interested and just cut themselves off at about 9 months.
