Crazy Is As Crazy Does

Okay - so I'm sure you're all eagerly await my projects... sorry, you'll have to keep waiting... this will be short.

Wanted to let you know that I'm still getting things done - I finished Beth's sweater a week ago, but I have yet to start the second sock. I'm working on getting a scripture tote finished (seeing as Jeremy's scriptures are all but falling out of his). I had made one for Peter last year, and had the fabric to replace all the other kids' ones, but I hadn't gotten there yet.... so, half way through that... but also finishing up Beth's dress.

Add to that I got a new calling - now Relief Society 2nd Councilor - and I get to coordinate the RS activities not on Sundays formally known as enrichment! It's a completely new presidency, so we're getting our barrings in addition to me trying to work out details for our first up coming RS activity. And though I've been officially released from all of my three other callings (Activity Day Leader, RS Teacher, and Nursery Leader), until someone is called to take over Activity Days, I've agreed to continue to run the program so it doesn't hit a dead end and leave the girls hanging (especially since one girl is my own and soon I'll have two). That's two projects with them this month..... then hopefully the new leader will be called.... we'll see.

I've also been putting together Beth's baptism schedule - asking people to do different parts - and still need to actually get a program together. I've got birthday invites out and (thank goodness) the two have decided to share a party so I only have one cake to make and one chunk of time to worry about. Additionally, I need to get a few baptismal invites together because Beth would like to invite some friends.

I've also been getting our family started with Orthodontic care... I'll do a whole post on that later... but I'm just gonna say - if your children have been diagnosed with an underbite, don't wait until they are 7 to get them in for a consult! All other consults are encouraged at age 7.

AND....

I've just been asked to speak on Sunday - which I agreed to - and am grateful for as it's helping me focus on things that matter to me. I'm excited to speak... should my talk actually be fluid enough for others to follow.

AND....

I'm hosting book club, followed very closely by teaching in RS - just happens to be my month...

BUT... come the second week of February, I think things should be slower and I'll have an idea of what normal is.

So - I'm busy.... but it's good for me.... it's helping me to remember what balancing really is... and IF I find time before the second week of February, I'll post some more exciting stuff.... otherwise, forgive me for taking me time! =)

Oh... and did I say this would be short... just think what the long version would have been! =)
