sunday summary.
still slacking on my weekly blessings. but hey i made it to week 8 . I'll catch up later.
Last night Lance and i got to go out on a real date alone together. which happens all of 4 times a year including birthday's and holidays. and this year we didn't go out for Valentines day. so yeah it was nice to go out.
we wanted to have dinner and see a movie , and we are cheap and pressed for time so we hit bajio, and then saw, Penelope! we both loved it and agree that we could own it. it had that timeless fairy tale quality to it. and the message was about accepting your self for who you are. and that's always a message i could hear again and again. super cute. and i think older girls would like it too.
so I picked up my mom from the hospital today and took her home. she was feeling Ok. and the pain meds were doing the job.
i came home and crashed. I'm way tired it was a long week,with not enough sleep.
i napped for a few hours on the couch. Last night Hope was barfing all night in my bed. and Liberty has had the flu since Thursday. so with that and picking up my mom mid morning we all ditched church. because lance had the sick kids while i was gone and didn't make it back in time to get everyone that was well ready. it's just one of those weekends. and I'm beat. so i wasn't pushing it.
my clean house? is no longer clean. it didn't help that I've been pretty absent from home for a couple days in a row. and the fact that i'm totally beyond exhausted from not sleeping for days on end for more than a couple hours each night. but I've survived and vow to go to bed in a timely manner all week.
guess what we discovered yesterday! the drive in in Scottsdale is STILL OPEN! whoohoo and spring break is coming. i plan to go a few times on spring break . it will be so fun. maybe if people are interested we could set up a blogger party at the drive in. for those that live in AZ of course? anyone interested??
just a thought.
and this evening, I'm going with my siblings to a funeral viewing for a lady in my ward, they grew up with her kids. so we are going together for that. so I'd better get ready. super sad situation there. she found out that she had leukemia the week before on Thursday and passed away on Tuesday. some of her kids hadn't even made it to town yet after hearing the diagnosis.
so they had no time to get used to the idea of her illness before she was even gone. so sad.
and then there are the feelings and stress that my Mom is older than her. could that be me mourning my own loss, my mothers death , someday soon? I of course hope not. but I am trying to be supportive of those that are in that situation. and am grateful for my own mothers health.
and lets be real i can't keep a secret even if it isn't mine. my mom's surgery was a hysterectomy.
and she is doing good. so thank heavens for that. she has a future hip replacement coming soon. so that should be fun too. glad that is all we have going on with her though.

♥ Yay that you guys got to go out! THat's nice.
My house never stays clean for very long either! But I've had it with the kids making such a mess so I'm turning into Drill Sgt. Mommy and making them clean before they go to bed everynight! :)
Have a great week!
ARen't we so lucky to have healthy moms?? I can't even think about my mom not being here.
Bummer that you have so many sickies...we were visiting your ward today!! I missed seeing all your cute, matching kiddos!!
And YAY for a night out. You deserve it!!
So sad about your friend. It's hard when we have situations like that and then thhink of our own future! With my aunt I thought of my own parents - I'm not ready to lose them either.
So glad to hear your Mom is doing well! She is so lucky you are all here in town and take such good care of her!!
I hope your mom is feeling better soon. That is totally major surgery. I hope her recovery is fast.
I feel so sorry for the Rodgers family. I can't even imagine losing Chad and a parent Sucks more than you can imagine. I miss Steve just as much today as I did 3 years ago when he passed away. Please let me know how the viewing and funeral go.
Sorry about the sick kids. NO Fun. And like your little quote says at the top a clean house is a sign of a wasted life:) so don't worry if it's messy.
I'm glad your mom is doing ok. So sad about your friend's mom. Cancer sucks like that. My grandma found out she had lung cancer in December 2005 and died at the beginning of March 2006. It does make you think about your own parents and grandparents. Its tough getting old! On the brighter side, so cool you and Lance got a chance to spend some time together alone! I can't go to movies for a while because all i'll do is fall asleep.
Glad to hear your mom is doing good. That is so sad about your friends mom. We are blessed to have our moms & healthy!
Oh MAN! Now your mom totally can't have anymore kids!!!
Wow, you've been busy! I'm glad you got to have a date with your husband!
I'm also glad your mom is doing well & hope her upcoming surgery goes well too!!
I wanted to let you know that I changed my blog address, it's now:

You know, strong, healthy moms are a real blessing.... HOORAY to that!
...in my neck of the woods, we call that surgery a "ute yank"
hee hee.
I hope your kids get better soon, and you don't catch it from them! That is the worst! I feel for your friend's family. We lost my Dad in an accident two years ago with no way to prepare and it really sucked. It still sucks. I'm not sure losing a parent ever gets easy. Glad your mom is recovering well!
You deserve alot more than just a nap. I hope that your kids start feeling better. And if I lived closer, I'd totally be at the drive in! Love those. Good memories.
You've had a rough week! I hope everyone is feeling better tomorrow! Including your mom. I hate to say it, I always get a little jealous when I hear of women that had that done. I can only think of never having a period again. Heaven. Not to down play what she is going through. I hope she will be okay! Way to go on the date. I want to take my girls to Penelope. I think it has a great message!
How sad about that lady. It always reminds me how fragile life is when I hear about something like that. I think the drive in sounds great. Let me know. I'm glad your mom is doing well. Sometimes I wish I could just have the dr. remove my internal female parts when I have my last c-section so I don't have to worry about problems later.
Yay! A real date! I love Bajio.
