I'm Alive

Here's a post for you, Robbie. I am alive. Just still really busy. And I am not one of those people who likes to be busy. Those people who can't sit still or just have to get out of the house sometimes or have to have a purpose to their day. Those people = everyone in the world but me. I really don't like being busy.

So this last two weeks has been this weird mixture of feeling so happy and excited but extremely stressed out and depressed at the same time. So that's where I'm at. I really shouldn't even be blogging right now. Too busy. But I got a harassing message on my cell phone last night from my brother, Rob, so I thought I should post a little sumpin', sumpin' to let you all know I'm still alive. Here's all the posts - in no particular order - that I need to do when my life slows down: (Will it slow down? Is there a point in your life when certain factors - the age of your kids, your own age, your calling in the church, your life circumstances and trials - all collide and you will be busy for years? I hope not.)

  • Jude being potty trained
  • Luke needs a post
  • My desire to desperately find a way to make money
  • How I'm afraid that things are going too well in my life so I will be hit with a major trial
  • My confusion over how things are going so well in my life, and yet I feel like crying everyday (just feeling overwhelmed)

That's all I can think of now! "I'M ALIVE!!!!!" (Said in the voice of Mike Newton to Bella when they are talking the day after Bella almost got smashed by the van but Edward saved her. I am finding time to squeeze in a little Twilight.)
