Mar. 8th- Wednesday: Dan and I both got up early to shower. He took Ben and McKenna to the temple.
I got all three girls ready to go. I took Bethany and Anna to school and then we took Dan‘s car to Burt
Brothers and I drove him to the car rental place. I took Ben to school and stayed for the Jungle Book
assembly performance. The kids did so well and I was so excited for them! We got home and Alice did
Upstart. Kaysen came over to play. We had lunch and I took them to preschool. I came home and
worked on picture collages on my phone and then the kids got home from school. They went to piano
a little bit later. I picked up McKenna and friends, and then she had to go back to the school to ride the
bus to the district choir festival. Bethany went to hip-hop after dinner and we drove to Syracuse for the
choir thing. Unfortunately, we were late and missed McKenna’s performance. I felt pretty dumb, but also
grateful that Dan’s parents let me borrow their jeep since the roads were really wet and could have been
snowy. The kids had showers and baths when we got home. I had phone time and talked with Dan once
the girls were in bed.
Mar. 9th- Thursday: I drove the kids to school, then exercised. Alice and I ate. I got ready and she did
Upstart. We packed lunches and then went to get Thirst drinks for McKenna and her friends! I was
impressed we didn’t spill any on the drive! I took Alice to the Jensen’s and then I went to sub for half a
day in 2nd grade (Barnett). I brought kids home and then went back to school for Jungle Book dress
rehearsal. Each time the kids ran it, it got better and better. Dan got home from Vernal and work!
McKenna had piano. We had leftovers for dinner and Ben went to play church ball. After the girls were
in bed, I did a grocery order and uploaded videos to the Jungle Book practice files. Dan played
Pickleball with the Elder’s Quorum. *We had so much wind that night!
Mar. 10th- Friday: The kids had free dress day for the end of term. Alice and I watched the news and ate.
I slept poorly the night before, so I did some computer stuff and napped. I got ready for the day and Alice
had lunch and went to preschool. I had went to ladies lunch at the church. I changed and then went to the
temple to do Initiatories and saw Dan’s mom there! I picked Alice up from the Jensen’s and then went to
the Jr. High for a track meeting for McKenna. Ben went home from school with Caleb (Luke went too).
We chilled for a bit, then went to the Johnson's with the Mitchell‘s to sing happy birthday to Faye Wade!
We also have cake and ice cream. It was her 84th birthday! We came home and chilled again.
McKenna went to Adrie’s. We had leftovers for dinner and then Dan and I both had computer time while
the girls played in the basement. We got them to bed, and then we put together a new lamp for our
bedroom. I went to the rec center with McKenna and Ben for a steak youth activity. It was fun to spy on
them a little, and watch them with their friends. I walked around with Brynn quite a bit and we got home
around 11:45pm. We got to bed late and as luck would have it, Alice came in at 5:50am because she
threw up. She slept in our room a little bit and kept throwing up about every hour, 5-6 times.
Mar. 11th- Saturday: I went to the stake center first thing for the stake relief society meeting where I sang
with a group of women. The song went so well! My mom came too and it was a lovely meeting where
I felt the spirit encouraging me to keep trying to be a little better every day. We had lunch after. Dan took
Anna to gymnastics, Ben to buy a birthday gift, then took Ben to Sam Burton’s birthday party. Dan also
picked up groceries and took Anna to shop for a birthday gift for a friend, Madelyn. Alice threw up again.
Bethany and Anna had lunch and played outside some. McKenna worked on her YW lesson. I tried to
nap. Dan washed Alice’s sheets and vacuumed almost the whole house! I dropped Anna off at her party
and picked Ben up. I got gas at Costco and had a phone call with Ginger about youth conference. I
worked on family videos while Dan gave Ben a haircut. I picked up Anna while Dan made dinner, then
we went to dinner and the temple for a date! We were lucky enough to be on the same session as
Dan, Lindsay, Cari, and Neil Moss! While we were gone, McKenna went to Liza’s house and Ben
babysat. Unfortunately, while we were gone, Alice threw up again, this time on the basement carpet.
Mar. 12th- Sunday: Dan had early meetings. I slept till 9. Alice was pretty lethargic and weak, so I started
her on Gatorade. She began to perk up. I ate with the three girls. Alice watched shows. I woke up
McKenna and Ben. I did stuff on the computer and talked with Amy Hamblin about the YW singing in
Sacrament meeting. McKenna practiced her lesson with me. I did the girls’ hair and drove Ben and
Henry to church, then the girls. Alice and I stayed home. She began to be hungry, so she ate bread
and crackers and said she felt “much better than sick!” I napped a little and went through my emails
and uploaded family videos to YouTube. Dan brought the kids home and we had lunch. I had my family
conference call and the kids played. Once Dan was home from more meetings, there was a long
discussion about how to proceed with doing the “Crunch Lab” kits. I started on dinner and the kids packed
lunches. We ate and the Moultons picked up tables and chairs for the soccer dinner they would host the
next night. We watched "Relative Race" and got kids to bed. I helped Alice with her music homework.
Dan helped me with the blog.
Mar. 13th- Monday: I subbed in 4th grade, Ms. Ziel’s class. The class was better behaved than I thought
they would be! And the other 4th grade teachers are always so nice and helpful! I napped when I got
home, then made dinner. Anna and Bethany played outside some. Ben played with Tanner Johnson.
McKenna had her first day of track conditioning. After we ate, we watched "Relative Race" and folded
laundry. We picked out outfits for the next day (Tacky Tourist for spirit week). We got kids to bed and
the Moultons dropped off the tables and chairs they borrowed. Dan and I talked and got to bed early.
Mar. 14th- Tuesday: I exercised after the kids left. Alice and I ate. I did some cleaning while Alice did
Upstart. I showered and then we went to my voice lesson. We came home and had lunch, and then I
napped and called about medical bills. The kids got home and I got Anna ready for her final dress
rehearsal. I went with her and stayed the whole time. Both casts did so well and keep getting better
every time. I was feeling a little frustrated with a few kids who seemed like they hadn’t been to a single
rehearsal because they were messing up so much. Then, I had a thought, “The parents will love it no
matter what!” Anna and I got home at 8:15pm and got to see that Dan had rearranged the basement
furniture. Anna and I snacked and then she went to bed late. Dan and I talked and went to bed.
