True Story:

We were at the Logan Zoo on Friday ("What? Logan Has a Zoo?" you ask. Yes. Yes they do. Well actually, it's more like domestic animals in cages.)

We were looking at the turtles and Kirsten turns to Jim and says:

"Dad- I just read that the tortoise is the slowest animal in the world?"

PAUSE

"Huh. we always thought it was you."


We are still laughing.

In the opening prayer given in Ward Council on Sunday there was a part of the prayer that really hit me:

"Please help us to have the Savior in mind with all that we do this week".

Those words haunted me all day.

I don't think I have ever made a conscious decision to do just that...with ALL that I do in a week...as a mom.

So that is what I fasted and prayed for on Sunday-asking the Lord for some serious help.

It's Tuesday and if you could have seen the way I just handled the fifty-millionth spill of juice (in one day) on my carpet by my 2 year old you would be certain that either God didn't hear my prayer, or that the Savior really would have gritted his teeth, groaned, and reacted in such a manner as to cause a 2 year old to utter the words "I shorry mommy!"

Oh and Monday wasn't that stellar of a day either.

This is way harder than I thought!

Maybe I should set this goal for when all of my kids are in school...all of them.
