Saturday is a special day...

It's 8:30 pm. Katelyn finally went to sleep. She had been doing so good this week, going down at 6:00 and sleeping through the night. But Thursday and Friday I had to take her with me to the church to get ready for and then carry out the primary talent show and so she went to bed late both nights and woke up during the night. Tonight I tried to put her down earlier, but it was a losing battle and finally I let her cry for about five minutes and she was out. Unfortunately tomorrow is Sunday which means no naps, but what can you do?

John still isn't home yet. He went to school late in the morning and has a lot of work for Dom and homework to catch up on. Poor guy hasn't had much of a spring break, but next week he goes to Texas for his interview and he should have some down time even though it will put him further behind since he'll be missing classes.

I've realized (again) this week that a dirty house is a depressing house. I want to vow that once I get the dishes in the kitchen all clean, I'm going to keep it that way. No matter what! I at least won't let it go more than 2 days without cleaning it up. Seriously, it's embarrassing when I think about it. No one should live this way. It's just that when it gets this bad I start to feel overwhelmed and can't make myself start. As soon as I'm done here I'm going to go do it. Few, I already feel better.

Scripture study. I have to do better about that too. I have no set schedule. As soon as I try and start to have a schedule I have to go to church Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I was even supposed to be at a Relief Society thing today but I decided not too. Probably a bad choice, especially since I decided not to go so that Katelyn could go to bed on time and that didn't even happen. I need to put the Lord first. I need to show Him and myself that I am putting Him first. John said he'll take Katelyn for a few minutes in the morning so I can read my scriptures. For today, as soon as I'm done with the dishes, I'll read. And Sundays, I think I'll just read before bed. The mornings are too crazy since we have to be at church at 8:00. We usually don't get home to 2:00 or later and then I have to think about food, getting Katelyn to bed and then family scriptures.

I also need to think about what it is I want to be studying. I don't think I can just read through the Book of Mormon again. I need a plan. Something to look for or do...I also want to start the New Testament. Maybe I just need to be serious about keeping a scripture journal again. That was a huge help as a missionary. I need a new binder or new paper for my old one.

Today I made empanadas and rice krispy treats. Yummy.

I'd better go make sure Katelyn has some covers and then get going on those dishes. Maybe I can be done before John gets home. Then we'll have to go downstairs and hang up the Laundry. I'm still in my pajamas. If I were a good wife, I'd try and look nicer for my husband. Seriously
