War- Day 5

Smell: maybe

I'm thinking the war may be over... No sightings, no smells, no use of the trusty Libman. Hmmm. That would be too good to be true.


On another note, because despite our deep dislike of vermin and rodent alike we do have a life, we do have better things to write about. Sometimes.

Beth's recent activities: I survived a Young Women Sleepover. I also refrained from taking up cell phones (big pet peeve of mine- if you have kids please don't let them have their cell phones on their person during youth activities or during church in general. They can't help it... they have to pull them out and 'just check.' It's a compulsion youth of America can't control. They do try, but are most unsuccessful. Soooo... Take the dumb things away, keep the youth adviser's number on yours and call them instead. It will make everyone happy. Except your kid. And that's ok. And they DO USE THEM IN CHURCH. No matter what they say, they do. And get rid of the i- pods and whatever other nifty electronics there are. PLEASE. (Just during Church related activities. Three hours. They will survive. I promise)

I'm done with my soapbox. Continuing with Stolle Life.

After the sleepless night of the sleepover I dropped girls off and went to school. AND after school I chaperoned a tri-stake dance. With Randy. It was our date night I guess. I did have to beg him to dance... but once convinced we had fun careening all over the floor, stopping kids here and there, asking strangers and/or Randy's students from school to find the Smyrna Ward youth and make them dance. I confessed to the Bishop. He said "That's great. It's your job to embarrass them." Whew! Sorry kids.. but you looked a little lonely on the sidelines. I've been there and it's kinda boring. I thought I would spare you a wasted Saturday night. You can thank me later.

And then I came home and slept for twelve hours. Anyone with two children knows the opportunity to sleep for eight hours is a far off goal, but twelve? That just proves how wonderful my children really are. (they slept for twelve hours too)

We also have a new car. Pictures tomorrow. Rowan loves it... Compliments of Mom. hehehe.. We can then fill you in on Randy, Mikayla, and Rowan's weekend. I was absent for most of it, but I hear they had fun!
