Mom, Mom, Mom, say's Holly in a helium filled voice, "whatcha gonna blog about huh huh huh?? Blog about everyone in this family in order of who you like the best which is Dad first and me second right? right? right?" We are all up in Isaacs face about which Disney movies he has never seen and Holly hath declared that he will watch ALL of them before we go to Disneyland at Christmas.  He just shrugs his shoulder and says 'whatevs'.

Why we are on the subject, if you know, me and you read that last bit, you are probably reeling with shock over the thought of ME going to Disneyland the day after Christmas when I wont even go to a ward Christmas party because of the crowds:). I dont know why I agreed to such nonsense but am looking forward to the magic that IS Disneyland during the holidays.  (Oh heaven help me..Holly just poked herself with a pencil and is screaming about graphite poison and how it will be my fault when she is found dead in her bed tomorrow morning.)

Anyway, I love Sunday, I live for Sunday, however Sunday kicks my buttocks!  I am the ward nursery leader, which I find so weird because I am old and also because nursery leader was also my first calling in this ward when we moved in 24 years ago.  I have circled through every organization, even a short stint in RS  (which I have a legendary reputation for avoiding).

This is what I have decided.  That every single calling I have ever been in, has been the best calling EVER! I love toddlers, I love cubscouts, I love women, I love teenage girls, I love waving my arms around like an idiot in front of a choir full of people who know more about music than I. I love kids of all ages cause they say ridiculous and wise things. 

So despite thee fact that I don't like lots of people all up in my 'bidness',  I am grateful that God knows who I need to learn from and plops me down in front of them.  I love people.  That's all.

    Also, enjoy the Disney magic! I luv luv luv Disneyland and if you need to wife swap, I'll bravely step in. But I'm certain that wouldn't do, I am in no way as cool as a mama as you!
