It's been far too long

So I was listening to the radio on the way to the gym this morning. Star 102.1 with Mark, Kim and Frank in the morning. They were talking to Tersa Smith who does the news at 9. She was talking about how her blog domain expired and was turned off for not having written on it so long and it got me thinking about my poor neglegted blog.
I have been struggling with a lot of changes going on....1.trying to adapt to being a stay at home mom. 2.My callings as a 1st counselor in Relief Society and Activities Director for the branch. 3. Trying to be a better daughter of Heavenly Father.
ADAPTING TO BEING A STAY AT HOME MOM-I'm not. I kind of knew I was never the type to stay home all day and have a clean house with the nutritios meals a day. I had to be stuck in the house all week 2 weeks ago due to my radiator giving out on me. I went crazy. Became impatient and took out all my anger on Albert when he got home from work. I knew I was being irrational. So now that I have my car back I am so much better. I am in the gym by 9:30 am every morning, which makes my day go so much better. Not to mention I am now 20 lbs below my prepreggo weight. I still count myself being a stay at home mom because the boys are just in the gym daycare for 2 hours. That still counts right? And.....since I am so much happier leaving the gym my family gets 2 some what nutritional meals a day. Sorry breakfast you will just have to stay with oatmeal packets.
MY CALLINGS- actually they aren't so bad. Gabby Craft is the prez and she is way on top of things. Besides we only have 12 Sisters on our list. Being the activities director is easy too. Everyone in our Branch are such good friends that they are all over at our house on the weekends playing volleyball anyway. I just need to start having an opening and closing prayer. However Pres. Cruze asked me to organize a temple to trip to Nashville to do Baptisms....They are complete booked to the end of the year.
TRYING TO BE A BETTER DAUGHTER OF HEAVENLY FATHER- We had a stake women's conference last week that was such a booster spiritually. I knew that I needed to improve my prayers and scripture study. The conference was a huge shove to do that. We watched Reflections of Christ. I highly recommend it.
