Reflections:
*I hugged my little one a little more today. Held him a little tighter. I've heard of 4 tragic passings in the last few weeks of children from 0-2 years of age. 4 different reasons they are not here any more. 4 families that will never be the same. Grateful I haven't experienced that trial and hope I never do. My heart goes out to the families.
**Today as I was walking this morning with Mack I noticed buses out and about, kids walking to school and more cars out with mothers driving their kids to school. This scene made me a little sad for two reasons. One, I miss going to school. I miss the anticipation of the first day of school (although that only last a few hours), miss going to classes and sitting in a classroom setting. Today I realized how fast time flies by and soon I will be taking my kids to school. Second, I am sad that summer is almost over. Again time flies and I wish I would have had more adventures and made more memories. The summer has been great but there was so much more I wanted to do and see.
***This week for me as been full of challenges. I don't know if it is my hormones from being pregnant but I have been very frustrated lately and I really have nothing to be frustrated about. I guess it is just do to the fact that all I had planned this week has not gone as planned. I got a babysitter so Rock and I could go to the temple on Tuesday when the night before he informed me he had to work late on Tuesday. I was also planning on him watching Mack Wednesday while I went to work and he told me he probably had to work late that night too. So I found another babysitter only to be told on Tuesday night that Rock had the day off because he has to work on Saturday and Sunday. So I called the babysitter back and canceled. Sunday I planned a babysitter so Rock and I could go to the temple dedication when my babysitter thought it was the 30th instead of the 23rd. Not her fault at all but again a change in things I had all planned out. I also wanted to go to Education Week at least one night this week and it looks like that is not going to happen. I guess I need to learn to be more flexible and just go with the flow....but I am an organizer and planner. I am not a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal....I know some people would like me to be....not planning causes me stress and yet planning causes me stress also. What is a girl to do???
****My son loves to watch the movie "Cars" from Disney. He asks me everyday if he can watch Cars and McQueen. I am torn between liking this and not. Liking it because I can get things done in a faster matter and a lot more done when he is entertained by this show, but not liking it because I feel I am neglecting him to be entertained by TV. Am I a bad mom for using TV to have a little alone time???
*****Last of all just want to say how much I love my family! My husband who is so patient and helpful with Mack and all my needs. To my sisters who I love and love the relationship we have now. I hope to always be close to them and the rest of my extended family. I love getting together and have BBQ's and picnics.

Beautiful thoughts. I feel a lot of those same things. I hope next week goes smoothly for you!
I understand those frustrated feelings...and I'm not even pregnant:) I'm sure next week will be better. About "cars" I am so happy that at least one of my boys will watch "cars." I say take the alone time, because pretty soon you won't have any:)
Don't feel too bad about having your kid watch shows so you can get stuff done. I used to feel guilty about it too, but I figured that they like it and if I get stuff done fast then I have more time to spend with them in the long run.
I can't wait to see your new baby, it's coming up fast! Do you have any names picked out yet?
