Feb. 2nd- Wednesday: Dan got the kids going for school and I woke up around 7:30. Bethany
stayed home with a runny nose and slight cough. We drove lots of Junior High kids to school
since it was pretty cold. Then we drove to Hoopes for my post-op appointment. We were a little
late because of the snow and poorly or not plowed roads. We also almost got hit by a truck
swerving into our lane. That was scary! Everything with my eyes looked good! When we got
home, Bethany did some homework, and Alice had preschool. I got a nice pictures of Alice
"being the youngest" and having Dan do everything for her. I took a nap. Anna and Ben had
piano. I woke up around 4 to do drops and my eyes were burning lots more. Dan took Anna to
gymnastics. Dan’s parents brought dinner. I got caught up on roommate Marco polos. We ate
and then Dan did baths while I did dishes and talked with McKenna about not doing the next
play at Backstage, which she was sad about. Dan played games with the kids while I continued
to rest my eyes and took a pain pill that didn’t seem to help much. After kids were in bed, Dan
took Ben to his late basketball game. I watched a little bit of “hidden Figures” with McKenna and
then listened to my book once she went to bed.
Feb. 3rd- Thursday: This was a rough day! I woke up at 8 to do my drops and I really couldn’t
keep my eyes open because of the burning. Dan brought me breakfast and I rested more.
Bethany stayed home again with a cold. I also ate lunch in bed and rested more. I took a Loritab,
which did end up helping with the pain, but it made me more groggy and sleepy. Dan drove
carpool and picked up Anna from Seussical. Once kids got home from school I saw a couple
of them off and on. McKenna had piano. Rachael Alexander brought dinner which I was very
thankful for! We did scriptures and prayers in my bedroom. But I did go out in the family room
from 8:30-9:30.
Feb. 4th- Friday: After my 8am eye drops, I could tell things were improved a bit. I had breakfast
in the kitchen and then showered, which felt really good. I was in much less pain! After lunch,
I napped and then listened to my book. I helped Bethany with her homework and spelling test. I
played with Alice some. Dan drove carpool again. Anna went home with the Kumps. McKenna
went with Lyla and Hannah. I rested my eyes and listened to my book. Dan took Ben to the Jazz
game with a bunch of the Websters. I stayed home with Boof and Alice. We ate dinner together
and I tried to watch some of the Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremonies. I put the girls to
bed (Bethany with cough medicine and a humidifier in her room). Then I listen to my book more
and rested. Anna got home and we talked for a bit around 9:15. Then she went to bed and
McKenna, Dan, and Ben got home around 10:20 and we all chatted.
Feb. 5th- Saturday: We woke up around 8 when I needed to do my drops. My eyes felt pretty good
other than being pretty blurry still. I was able to eat breakfast with the family. We cleaned up and
then Anna did some homework. Dan and Ben got started on the new van flooring and I worked on
classroom emails for Ms. Laney’s class. It was hard to focus on the computer screen, but it needed
to be done. I took breaks here and there. The girls played and wrestled on my bed. McKenna got
ready for silks. Dan drove her and I got the kids lunch. After Dan got back with the groceries, he
traced the carpet and started cutting the vinyl mat. I listened to my book and rested. The girls
played in the basement. McKenna’s friend Makayla came over to hang out. I showered and Dan
finished the flooring! We went to the adult session of stake conference. I was inspired to think
about and decide what I can be doing more invite Christ more to my side of the equation to equal
more! I thought about it a lot in the middle of the night as well! We were given sourdough baguettes
to remind us of the loaves and fishes story where with Christ, they had an abundance! We had
Nielsen’s frozen custard and played Golf at Dan’s parents’ house afterwards with the Stewarts
and Winegars. McKenna babysat with Korie and Brittana. Bethany fell off the silk and hurt her lip. :(
Feb. 6th- Sunday: We both had a rough night’s sleep. Dan gave the little girls their bath. After
lunch, we drove Katie, Truman, and 4 Winegars to Stake Conference in our big van! The three
fashion cookies were all matching! It was a lovely meeting about how to make time for Christ and
walk with Him. We watched some videos about CFM as a family. I put dinner in the oven and Ben
edited a video of Alice for me. We ate chicken pot pie from the Cundicks. Dan and Ben built Legos
and I got caught up on my journal and McKenna watched a show. I watched “Don’t Miss This” and
fell asleep.
Feb. 7th- Monday: I was able to get up with Dan and the kids. After they left for school, I watched
the news and ate Alice. We had a normal morning starting laundry too. We played some games and
read a book. Then she watched a show and I rested my eyes and listened to my book. Dan took
Alice to preschool. I worked on some emails in my room and listened more to my book and took a
nap. When the girls got home from school, McKenna went to Whitney’s to hang out with her and
Katie. Ben had HArry Potter club. Then Dan and I took the three little girls to get their hair trimmed
at cookie cutters. I saw Erica Day and Lisa Livsey there. Once we got home, Ben left for the Jazz
game with his Jr. Jazz team. The girls started on their homework. The Moultons brought us chicken
noodle soup for dinner and chatted for a bit. We ate and then got the girls to bed. Dan and I watched
the Olympics while McKenna watched “Hidden Figures.” Ben got home around 10:20. We folded
laundry and went to bed. * I was getting excited for the Super Bowl halftime show! ;)
