Haven't blogged all week.  Haven't had time until today (literally). 

All of the old cliche phrases apply…

I am wearing MANY, many hats:

My plate is VERY, very full:

TREK is very busy…a fireside meeting with all of the youth and their parents this Sunday, a "recon" tomorrow morning, a meeting last night, a meeting next Thursday, lots and lots of e-mails and tweaking and scheduling and phone calls.  It's all coming together nicely, but is quite a lot to do.

I received a new calling at church (in addition to trek)…I'm assisting our new Relief Society President (the leader of our women's organization for our ward/congregation) as 1st counselor.  I will coordinate all the RS meetings outside of our Sunday meeting.  I LOVE her (Kimberly Enlow) and am so excited to work with her.  It is wonderful to serve with the ladies that I care so much about.  But on top of trek, it feels a little daunting.

The dog is sick.  I've managed to keep the kids healthy all winter, but my dog gets an upper respiratory infection.  Go figure.  And dogs don't use Kleenex – did you know?  Yeah…it's pretty.

Samuel's had an interesting week.  He poured baby powder all over himself, his crib, a shelf, and a boombox, one afternoon when I didn't realize he was awake.  So I put him in the tub and attempted to clean up his room while he played with his boat and shark within ear shot.  I made the mistake though of turning on the vacuum for a brief moment and after doing so saw that the carpet was appearing wet.  Samuel had taken a large cup and was shoveling water onto the tiled bathroom.  It was a 7-towel clean-up job.  I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry, so I did what all mommy-blogger's do.  I took a picture.  And I'm still doing laundry from that afternoon.

But my guys are back – after a 5-day trip to Utah.  And I'm thrilled to have them home.  More on their adventures, and me and Samuel's adventures here at home, next week.

Also, next week, Jacob's letter from the White House.  Let's just say, it made him cry.  And I don't think President Obama is on his "nice" list.

Now I'm off to work on two talks that I'll be giving on Sunday…one during our sacrament meeting and one at the Fireside.  I told you…full plate and lots of hats!!
