A little late...

This is how I have been feeling lately...like I am slightly late with so many things. I love blogging, but Instagram and Facebook seem so much faster. I get lazy and just post there.

Halloween came and went and I didn't even post a picture on here. Shawn's parents have been on their mission for 6 months already. Mom and Mike have already passed month one of theirs. Parent teacher conferences have already passed and I sit here wondering how that happened so quick. I have lots of great plans for things to do because my kids are all in school full time, but there is still not enough time. I volunteer at the school one day a week, I am the 2nd counselor in the Young Womens. Shawn got put in the Stake High Counsel, so Sundays we are super busy.  I babysit 2 kids before school, 2 kids from 1:30-5:30 every day. And another little girl on Friday afternoons. The older girls are in dance class. Kam is in a cheer/tumbleing class at the rec center. Austin just finished up flag football. The kids are in two different schools and their schedules are not the same. The older two have late start days and the younger two have early out days. Somewhere in all of this is me... I get lost in the randomness of being the mother at times. I still make sure to get my workout in, because even my kids can tell when I havn't been running haha. But there are days when someone will ask me "You are a stay at home mom, don't you get bored? Or, what do you do all day?" I truly just want to laugh at them. I know I have been very blessed to be a stay at home mom, we go without a lot of the worldly things just so I can be home when the kids leave for school and when they get home. They will only be at this stage one time, then it will be gone. Austins crohns has been in remission since September 1st, the greatest blessing ever! But I know it isn't perminant. There is no cure for crohns, he is still sick. So deep inside I also figure, there is no way I could get a regular 9 to 5 job becuase Austin will get sick again and I want to be the one who takes care of him. Life is just moving too fast. Paige is 14...before I know it she will be moving out, going to collage and starting her own real life :) I know this is all just a lot of rambeling, but it was on my mind. To tell the truth I do feel a little better haha...maybe I just need to go to a concert :D they always cheer me up. Anyways, here is the lost but not forgotten Halloween picture. Kambree is Little Red Riding Hood, Paige is "a page" from a book, her shirt has writing on it from a book, Shawntell is Catniss from Hunger games, and that would be Dr. Ashby.
