Too Funny
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, ‘My dear child, why are you crying?’ The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.
‘Is this your thimble?’ the Lord asked The seamstress replied, ‘No.’ The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.
‘Is this your thimble?’ the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, ‘No.’ The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.
‘Is this your thimble ?’ the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, ‘Yes.’ The Lord was pleased with the woman’s honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, ‘Why are you crying?’ ‘Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!’
The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. ‘Is this your husband?’ the Lord asked.
‘Yes,’ cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. ‘You lied! That is an untruth!’ The seamstress replied, ‘Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said ‘no’ to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said ‘no’ to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said ‘yes,’ you would have given me all three. Lord, I’m not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT’S why I said ‘yes’ to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is:
Whenever a woman lies, it’s for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.

Something to think About.............
A Washington , DC . top congressional policy advisor who is also LDS, has said the vast majority of GOP congressmen are endorsing Mitt Romney. He thought a Mitt presidency was no longer improbable, but, it is now something that "could happen."
So..., if Mitt Romney became President of the US won't we have something we've never had before -- a president who goes to a specific church? All other presidents belonged to religions that didn't have tight congregational boundaries. Now, think about that:
What Ward would Romney be in?
If you are his new Bishop, here are your top 10 questions:
1. Will you allow an inaugural ball to be held in the
cultural hall? Do you mount security cameras on top of
each basketball rim and have a secret service detail
stationed on the stage?
2. Can you call Mitt and Ann as the Nursery Leaders...
even if you really feel inspired?
3. Who is going to home teach them? Will you call
someone who needs activation but may not pass the
vetting and national security screening?
4. If Harry Reid and Mitt Romney are in the same High
Priest group, will you need to be there to keep order?
5. Exactly how will tithing settlement work? Will the
Secretary of the Treasury come too?
6. Will you be inviting the new Romney family to speak
in Sacrament Meeting... and if they go a little over
at what point do you ask them to sit down?
7. Will the Secret Service do a sweep of the building
before each meeting? And if the Romney's always leave
before Sunday School, will the Sunday School president
need to interview them? If they stay, where will you
hold the class?
8. Can you call the Secret Service agents to help out
in Primary?
9. If you give Mitt a calling and the two Democrats in
the Ward raise their hand AGAINST sustaining him -
partly out of habit - does the Supreme Court need to
be involved?
10. If you can't give them a calling, and they don't
attend very often (for presidential stuff) will that
mean they're "inactive?" If they're not active, can
you give them a Temple Recommend ? And if you do, can
they go? Will the Secret Service have to screen the
temple too?
11. If the President wants to hold Sacrament Meeting
at Camp David or the White House for security reasons,
is that a conflict of Church and State?
If you're assigned to be the Romney's Home Teacher:
1. Can you just drop by, no appointment?
2. Can you even call them for an appointment or do you
have to go through the Chief of Staff?
3. Can you bring by Christmas sweets and cookies?
Will they be analyzed? And for how many people -
family, secret service details?
4. If you don't come can the IRS do an audit on you?
5. Will they want to do a national security background
check?
6. Do you have to have a permanent companion who has
been vetted? Can you just grab any teacher or priest
to come with you? And what if that priest has been a
little wayward. Do you need to search him first?
7. Do you have to help him move in and out of the
White House?
8. If Ann Romney gets sick, are you allowed to bring
in meals or at least tell the Relief Society about it?
9. What can you share with the Bishop about the
Romneys?
10. Do you have to ask them about their year's supply?
11. If you get a late night call for a blessing will
reporters follow you around wanting to know what was
wrong and what you said?
If Mitt Romney is assigned to be YOUR Home Teacher:
1. Is telling the group leader you haven't been home
taught a national security breech?
2. If he wants to come at the end of the month, do you
accept his reason "I've been out of town"?
3. Will he drop by unannounced or will the media crews
give him away?

but peace within the storm.

Babysitting is for the Birds
I have been babysitting for almost a month and today while amongst that crying and screaming that comes with 4 extra bodies I decided to see how much an hour I really make per child. I am depressed it is soooo not worth it only a dollar an hour per child how ridiculous and not worth my exhaustion and lack of sleep.

Pregnant Brain Strikes again
Sitting at the table having breakfast with my family and I pour myself some apple juice...Simple enough right NOPE I pour the Apple juice into my bowl, not my cup. Then my hubby has this thing he says everyday" Ahhh Em I am dying" Translation I am not as young as I used to be and ouch my back hurts.... Well our oldest says" If I had a Nickel for every time I heard that." Now I did not hear nickel I heard NIPPLE. I look at her with a dirty look and say "excuse ME??" I tell her and everyone at the table what i thought she said and they are rolling because they are laughing so hard. It gets better I then go upstairs to get dressed and I put my shirt on inside out without realizing it till I couldn't find the ties on the back of it. OK Blame it on the baby!!! I am 19 weeks HELP ME!!
Feeling good
Have you ever had a time in your life you were ridding the waves, basically letting the Lord guide you whatever his will is? I feel like a surfer girl, in reality I should be terrified because I have no idea where we will be in 5 months. But I am not, I have Faith in the Lord that it will be okay. What a great place to be?? I have the knowledge that we will be taken care of that our needs will be met and they are, I am babysitting 4 extra kids to help pay off some debt, and I got a call from a distribution place and we are going to be delivering phonebooks for the next 3 weeks and making some really good money to pay off the rest. If you have any doubt of the Lord hearing your prayers, remove that doubt from your mind....God never forsakes you he knows your needs and what is best for you. I see God's hand in my life and those around me, TJ and Sam, prayed about whether they should get out of the military and were told yes. They prayed about where to go, the Lord told them. The Lord has blessed them so much with a job, a house and each other. They are such a beacon of Faith and Obedience.
