this next month is going to be a doozy. It's the last month I'm on the family committee, but that includes going up to clean and open the cabin. It's the last month I'm the PO president, but that includes Teacher Appreciation week, 6th grade graduation, kindergarten graduation, field day, providing volunteers for a field trip and end of year gifts for the teachers. My Ward has decided that the youth can go back to weekly activities... some on zoom, some in person... instead of every other week. (I really wish they had waited until the end of the school year!) I have the last 4 shots on my SI joint and hopefully I'll be a "normal" person again. Ada's choir concert, Jeremy has a caucus, Sam has a solo in the 6th grade play, Evelyn has a dance recital. For how much we are doing digitally, it still is so busy. One more month and then I can breathe and hopefully focus more on my kids rather than the PO. By next year they are planning on full day in person school. Maybe with masks and maybe not, but it will be more like it was before the last 2 years. I'll have two kids in Jr. High as well. Sam is so excited and nervous.
Some fun things going on right now:
Ada is taking shop class and loves it. She loves the power tools and making things.
I love listening to Sam practice for his play.
Today was Career Day at school. Sam dressed normally and said he was a computer programmer. Evelyn did her hair in a bun and found her stethoscope and is telling everyone that she's a med student. Seth found a paint brush and a little shovel and is saying that he's a Paleontologist.
I get to see Emma Byrd about twice a month and I've really been enjoying that.
My cousin's daughter, Alyssa, is getting married.
My Mom's heart surgery went well and she's home now.
The two babies in my daycare are getting older, which is easier. They like to get into things more, but they require less physical care.
I like the new YW's President and she works directly with my class so it's been fun. She is fun, smart and a go getter.
5 of my YW are graduating, so that's exciting. (It's weird... The YW that were in my class last time I was called to YWs are all back from missions, married and having babies. The ones that I have had the last few years are going to college and a couple getting ready for missions. I kind of like teaching the oldest class. It's fun but it's also hard to change minds sometimes because they have already made up their minds about several things at this point.
Because FSY has been cancelled for the year, my parents are taking the 4 grandkids that would have gone this year on a spiritual get a way. My parents are going to hold gospel classes, hold fun activities and asked Jer if he would come up and take them on a hike sometime during the week. I think it's a spectacular idea and will be remembered by the grandkids forever.
Sam might get to go to the temple soon! He has his recommend and they're opening baptisms up by reservation. My Mom is trying to get a reservation. I think it might be hard to at first because of the temple being closed for so long, but hopefully soon!
I only have one more meeting as the PO President and I've already done a training for the next one.
