Book Tag

These next few weeks are going to be a bit more crazy than usual. This week I need to work, complete a special scrapbook page as a surprise for a former beloved bishop. (I'm not making the book, it's a combined effort on ward members). I need to finish reading my book club book Uglies. I need to start and complete Mother's Day gifts, including some for myself :) And then next week is BYU graduation for 3 of my in-laws. We'll have both sides of the family in town...fun times. It'll be a blast, like a mini reunion. Eating out, BBQ's, long lines of people in caps and gowns, annoyed and tired children, FAMILY! Yay! OH!!! And I just remembered that Samuel has to give his first talk in primary!!! I've never done that before. Melissa and Rachel, you may need to help/remind me :) And I cannot forget to wish my sis-in-law and mother-in-law Happy Birthday's either.

So, it'll be a good few weeks. Today I felt like such a good mom. I played with Samuel. I watched like 4 episodes of TLC's "Jon and Kate plus 8" last night and felt inspired. Kate, the mom, reminds me a lot of my friend Brittany. Really organized, great sense of humor, and just a great mom who can handle 8 kids under the age of 7 (one set of twins and one set of sextuplets!!!) They have decided to, as a couple, go out w/each kid alone. They get to have a special day w/their parents, completely alone. This is naturally a big deal for these kids since there are so many of them. They don't ever get undivided attention. So anyway, I decided to play play dough w/Samuel today. He loved it and he so much more calm, bcse I was paying attention to just him, completely undivided. No computer, no Jocelyn, no cleaning, etc. It was fun! I was distracted a bit and my mind kept going back to the computer but fortunately the internet wasn't working and so I couldn't use it anyway! But I thought it was really valuable time.

Well, my same friend Brittany tagged me. This is really simple.
The instructions for this tag are as follows:

I am reading Uglies written by Scott Westerfeld "The thought of what she must look like was too much."
