What a great time, to sit here and have my mind at ease! The girls are sound asleep, and I can relax. Grandma Cleo and I are becoming great friends! I love talking with her! She is always so happy and can so easily compare things to the gospel. And if she doesn't make that comparison, then it leaves a spot for me to fill in and see the blessings from the experiences she, and her family, have had. What a fabulous habit to have and to grow on! :)
After dinner today, Diana went to work while Paul and Cleo took the girls to Pet co and Radio shack to get some shopping done. And I got to be home alone, and I cleaned!!! I loved it! I miss babysitting for Kristie Palfreyman because I loved her girls, and I LOVED cleaning her house! hahaha So funny that after not being told to clean, that I actually want to! And boy, does it look dang good when you want to clean! I got to wipe down the girls' high-chairs, sanitize toys, load the dish washer and hand wash the extras, wipe down all the counters and even the floors! MAN! I loved it! :) I'm sure my parents miss the days when I felt like this! When I am tired, and I can't seem to fall asleep, I always feel like cleaning! My parents would always tease me before bed and ask me if I was wanting to go clean, but then I'd hurry down to my room and jump in bed. Ha ha! It just isn't the same when you are told to clean.
Sophie is starting to like sitting on her big girl potty. Diana really knows the facial expression of when the girls are going potty.. hopefully I can catch on to that so I can help teach them to tell me when they need to go potty, before they go potty in their diapers. KC was giving me a hard time because they are almost 2 and they aren't potty trained yet. Because he was just so special and was trained when he was just 16 months. But with both parents working so much it is very understandable why they aren't, and they seem to be ready to learn. So things are looking up! :)
I'm hoping that this weekend I will be able to get out of the house. I have only been out once since I got here.. I need to be able to drive around in the day light so that I can find some places to run to and not get lost! Ha! My mom is also sending me my Pilates/yoga videos, then I can work out in the morning and during the girls' naps instead of just sitting around, eating junk food and watching that 70's show... Which still cracks me up!
That is one thing I miss most, laughing. I really miss Sunday dinners with my family where we, well at least I, would just laugh at EVERYTHING! And I wasn't afraid of what everyone thought of me, and I didn't have to worry about the little girls copying me. Now I have to try and be quiet so the girls will be quiet. Especially when Diana is still sleeping. I just haven't seemed to laugh as much since I got here.. not that I'm not happy, just growing up a bit. Once I get involved with some youth my age at the singles ward I hope I will be able to get my laughs out. We'll see how it goes!
