Do a good deed!

My goal is that every day for the rest of my life, I'll do this and record the results every day!

Yesterday morning I prayed asking to be lead to Someone who needed help. I went through my day...registering JJ for EFY, that was stressful. Taking Kia to the orthodontist, volunteering at the school, had a serious talk with JJ and Kia about non member girls and not being so nieeve to think they have the same standards so avoid the situation all together. Etc. 

homeschool, planning Davids Bday, took michael to the bike shop, play date with the Atkins, 11year old scouts, dinner (tacos), and then it occurred to me that I hadn't felt any particular promoting to help anyone :(. I don't know if I missed it or I kept myself so busy doing for others that it counted? At any rate I felt a little like a failure. 

So, starting over today. I prayed this morning and thought of a new family we need to welcome. I'm going to make banana bread for them today.

Micajah's Birthday

Today I didn't have a specific experience come to me. I dropped an invitation by April's house (an inactive I VT). I suppose that was something. I also took Michael to the bike shop and in-and-out sports. 

Tomorrow 

Kia and I go skiing.

So, I haven't been doing a great job these last couple of days. But I will try to think of examples of what I did even though I didn't pray specifically. Today was church, I helped out in primary when they were short on teachers for Zac's class. 

David and I made cupcakes for homeschool group to celebrate his birthday. I spent most of my day in the kitchen. Yesterday I should have prayed because I had a terrible day and I noticed that when I'm having a bad day it's like I cause more bad things and constant negativity. I can't explain it properly here but once things start going wrong and I get a bad attitude - nothing goes right. It just gets worse! I took the kids swimming in meeker yesterday.

I did not do such a good job again today. I ignored a prompting to stop and give someone a ride who was walking in the snow. I had a good talk with michael tonight and Jacob. We had a good FHE, talked about the influence of media.

Today I . . .

Rolled out of bed exhausted from a sleepless night because Zac had been coughing and run a fever throughout the night. He got in bed with us at 4 AM. He was febrile but finally fell into a nice deep sleep. I got up and did some yoga because I was so stiff and miserable! I got davids birthday gift ready so he could have it as soon as he woke up. He needed extra cheering cuz he had spent the last 2 days having tests run on him because of his digestive problems. He was facing more torture at the hospital ON HIS BIRTHDAY! I showered, took Kia to school. Stopped at Safeway to get a donut for David. No donuts! Are you kidding me? I bought a box if assorted! Oh we'll, took them home and Zac had finally awoken, put him in the tub and prepared a netty pot. Started making davids Bday cake. Good thing too because I never would have been able to do it. Picked JJ up at the school, brought him home. Picked Kia up from middle school got Zac set up in front of the TV with his snuggle he got from uncle Dickie a few Christmases ago, his pillow and dream light! Took David to the hospital for more blood draw and an x ray. Talked to Danaka who WILL be in Utah at the same time as me!!!!! I haven't seen her in a year and a half! Got the pleasantries for collecting 24 hour samples!! Yippee! 

Came home, studied math and history. Stripped the sheets and started washing them. Fed the boys lunch, held Zac for a quick min. while finishing a book we're reading together. So much for being sick. He got a total if 30 min. of my time today. Took Kia to e and while he was there, dropped by Pam Horns office to discuss the contract on the house we want to buy. Picked Kia up from PE, on the way, got a phone call...the x ray is no good some foreign object showing up. " did he swallow something he shouldn't?" He's not 2. Dropped Kia off at home, picked up David. Another x ray. Looks like he had tootsie rolls in the front pocket if his hoodie! They had messed up the first x ray. The staff thought it was hilarious! This is Prescotts kid, right? Of course. 

Went home. Made stir fry for Davids B Day dinner, finished the cake. We ate and opened some gifts and then they left for mutual. His first mutual - on his birthday. I looked around and it looked like a tornado had hit the house. I started to clean. I asked Zac if he'd help. He suddenly felt sick and had to lay down! Hmmm

I finally finished cleaning the kitchen and the floor of the dining room. Now I'm watching Zac pretending he's HeMan! 

Sometimes you don't even have to ask who you can help that day. You simply have to let your feet hit the floor. The day will take care of the rest, leaving you barely coming up for air and eventually falling into bed.
