Jumbled thoughts for the day.....

So I got a new calling in church last week. No, I have NOT been released from the Activity Day girls.....but when the 1st counselor asked me if I would play the piano in Relief Society I seriously thought I had been PUNKED! I asked if this was some sort of joke. I haven't played the piano since 10th grade! I was seriously SO upset about it for days, and Nate thought it was the most humorous thing in the world. I am going to have an anxiety attack EVERY stinking Sunday! It was the first time in my life I wanted to DECLINE a calling. After a lot of anguish I've decided to suck it up and try though. Wish me some major luck....and maybe some sort of miraculous hidden piano playing skill blessings! Yikes.

A man and a woman in my mom's ward went off on her this past Sunday for something that is completely ridiculous. It's a long story but my mom's feelings were REALLY hurt and she ended up leaving church crying for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Anyone ever wanted to go track a stranger down and seriously punch them in the face? Blame the raging hormones but seriously....don't mess with my mama. I have no patience for mean and inconsiderate people.

Landon has a little friend.....well kind of a friend. He has a love/hate relationship with this boy. Sometimes they get a long great and sometimes they feud non stop. The thing is, I have seen these two in action and Landon is rarely the boy who starts the fights with this boy. The boy will hit or kick Landon and Landon won't stand there and take it. He defends himself......hey, he has 2 older brothers. (Not that I am saying it's ok) Problem is, the little boy's mom thinks that Landon just comes out of nowhere and hits her kid all the time since her kid will come crying to her as soon as Landon retaliates. Part of me just doesn't want the 2 of them to play together at all anymore. It's a strange and awkward situation since the mom and I are friends. We frequent the same places all of the time. Sometimes being a mom is so hard.

Baby Girl has been kicking a lot more lately. Nate still can't feel it but they are getting stronger. 18.5 weeks:  Almost halfway there!

I am so thankful to my sweet friends who sent me little PINK things over the past few days. My pink pile is growing! My favorite thing has been watching the BOYS excitement as I open a gift. All of the "Oh, how CUTE!" and "Look how SMALL" comments from them just make me melt. It is hard for me to even IMAGINE what they will be like with a tiny sister around. And yes, I cry everytime I open something up. I just can't help myself.
