Today I went to the gym and ran/walked 2.5 miles.  I'm going to attempt a half-marathon in January.  I have a long ways to go.

I then went to the church for a RS meeting.  I taught a class about the importance of making your marriage a priority (i.e. date nights) and my partner-in-crime (Anne) did a handout with lots of great date night ideas. Derek laughed at me when I told him what I was teaching – I told him you don't have to be perfect at something to be convicted about it.  :)
I taught my portion then went and watched kids in the nursery – 22 kids to be exact.  And they were great, believe it or not!  But I kept counting them to make sure they were all there.

Then Samuel and I joined some friends for an impromptu lunch date to Pei Wei…fun!

Then we exchanged something at the sports store.

He fell asleep on the way home.  I did not, but wanted to.

Boys came home and I made them snuggle with me and tell me about their days.  Then I dozed off on the couch while they got a snack.

Homework, piano, chores, dinner prep.

Jacob to football.

Home to feed little boys and Derek.

Derek leaves for Young Men's.

Back to football practice…carpool kids home.

Get gas…way too low.  Talk about bullying in the car.  Jacob wants to play a prank on a prissy girl in his class…I tell him about some pranks that were played on me when I was young and he changes his mind.

Kids to bed.

Blog.

Watch finale of America's Got Talent.

Read a conference talk.  Derek and I are doing a "Conference Challenge" where we are trying to read all of the talks from our last General Conference (of the Church) before the next one.  We gave ourselves a month and we need to read one a day.  I'm one behind.  I should read two tonight.

Until tomorrow…

    Hey – just download the conference talks onto your ipod and then listen to them while you get ready in the morning, or plug the ipod into the car while driving the boys around. You’ll get in several a day (learned this trick from a Sheri Dew talk). I can listen to two some mornings with maybe even a motab song thrown in πŸ™‚
