Since I have thoughts flying around my head all day, and rarely anyone to tell them to... I thought I'd throw them all on here.
*I made bread yesterday, and experimented. It didn't turn out very good, and my family is not happy with me.
*I think I need to buy new yeast. It seems to rise okay, but it doesn't foam up as much at the first. That might be affecting the finished product.
*My hands are so dry. I found this burt's bees stuff that seems to help, but every time I put it on, my family starts sniffing and wailing, "What is that smell?!"
*I like to watch Little House on the Prairie. I can borrow the seasons I don't own from our library, so I've enjoyed watching them in order. I know... they can be cheesy, but I love them anyway!
*I think I'll go take the substitute teaching training on February 14th. I'm scared of the kids, but I think it could be fun. For some reason I am just not ready to get violin students yet.
*I realized that I don't get to spend much time with my boys at all. They get home about 4:40 from school. That doesn't leave much time to do chores and homework and such. I'm thinking of letting up on the weekday chores and having them do more chores on Saturdays.
*I walk to school with Aubrey every morning, and she's talking more and more. At first we'd walk mostly in silence, except for the short answers to my questions. Walking is always good for loosening up conversation.
*I really love my house. It feels so comfortable to me. I love my stove and my dishwasher. I don't miss anything about my old house, except my friends.
*Everyone is freaking out about the cold and the snow. I'm excited for spring, but I don't really mind this winter weather. Am I weird?
*I'm going in to Cooper's class today to help make Valentine envelopes. I'm very excited. Does that mean that I need a life?
*I'm still dying to see my niece (heck, I'm dying to see any of my nieces and nephews!!). Brandon says we'll go in March.
*We still don't have callings in our ward. I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
*I'm hungry. I'm going to go eat some lunch.

I love these posts! Hand Salve does smell kind of "herby", but it's great and we use it all the time. Well, I'm just assuming that's what you're using. If it gets to be too much, try using a lotion with cocoa butter in it instead, that's what I use and it works pretty well. I'm glad you love your house, I love it and it's not even mine. lol.
If your hands are dry cake eucerin cream all over them, put gloves on and watch a movie then wipe the excess off. It will give you softer hands then yu have had since you were a baby, and it doesn't have much of a smell. And if the cold isn't bothering you then yes you are crazy.

'little house on the prairie' rocks! caroline doesn't miss an episode. (kbyu channel 11 @ 6 p.m. weeknights). saturday is our big chore day for the same reason. kids just don't have enough time after school. if you're wierd then i'm wierd too...i find all of the snow exciting and i think it keeps life interesting. i haven't felt those 'winter blues' that they talk about. cause it's just so pretty and exciting. i'm so glad you love your house. it sure looks adorable. thanks for the news tidbits. that was fun...
I love your random thoughts. I understand. I was trying to have a heart to heart with my husband this evening trying to explain all those thoughts that have no place to go. And this is probably just 1 minute worth of thoughts. OH, how do we do it?!!! I thought about taking the substitute test last year. Maybe one day!!
i want to see pics of your house! felicia told me today that you two are going to a quilt retreat! you two better work and have fun enough for me too!
Going to make valentines would be the highlight of my day also. :0)
That's a fun idea... doing a "random thoughts" post. I should do that sometime. :-) I love "Little House on the Prairie". Even though I hardly watch much TV anymore, I grew up watching that show.
I, too, was terrified of the kids, but then I got called to teach teenagers in Sunday School and then I got called to be Young Women's president. Now, I occasionally substitute teach and its quite enjoyable. Don't be afraid!
I wouldn't mind not having a calling, but since the ward change, Travis doesn't have a calling and I have to say--IT'S BOTHERING ME!
I'm ready for spring. The snow is pretty, but I'm tired of driving kids to school on the unplowed (that's Idaho) roads.
I gave up the weekday chores this year and now we work harder on Saturdays, but I felt bad for my kids--school all day, homework & reading, Bruce in sports, Achievement Day, YM/YW, etc. They need time to play.
Love the post.
i LOVE little house on the prairie...
one episode the other day had charles and caroline started laughing... charles has a huge boisterous laugh and caroline has a semi fake laugh.
anyhow... they sounded a little ridiculous, but i still love the show.
thanks for your random thoughts... i know you better now. :)
