Wow, I totally spaced out writing to you! I think conference messed my timing up. :) I have to say that I really enjoyed it though! I was amazed at how many talks were on the family. Satan has really been working on destroying it! The other one that really touched me was about the "Can you hear the music"…the one about dancing….I don't remember who said it. I just realized that I have been going through the steps without hearing the music when it comes to church. Funny thing, you can only fix those things that you are aware of. I don't think I was aware of how much "just motions" I have been doing without the heart involved. I think I catch glimmers, but I am not always holding on to it. Really, I enjoyed all of it! I always feel renewed and ready to be better after conference.
I have decided to take Tiffany to the Dr. tomorrow. I don't think I can handle much more of her being depressed and in tears all the time. She has D's in almost all of her classes. I am still struggling with how to light a fire under her behind! Last week, she came home in tears…I think it was every day…I wasn't here Monday and Tuesday, but the rest of the week was real bad. I have found that it helps if I sit down with her and make a plan of what has to be done for homework. Usually, it is the stuff assigned that day and then 1 or 2 late/missing assignments. She is smart, but not focused. I think her depression and anxieties are winning. I refuse to let that happen. I know that Dad is not on board with putting her on medication, but I feel we are doing her a disservice by not having her on something at this point.
So, Saturday for dinner, we decided to have a BBQ. TT wanted me to do it on the charcoal BBQ. So, I put in the brickettes and lighted it on fire. It was going pretty good…then I remembered that I didn't have the grate on it. So, I started to put it on. The wind picked up at that time…and I felt and heard my hair singe. Yep, the front of my hair is a bit singed. You can't really tell unless you feel it..lol. The worse part is that it also burned my nose hairs and I smell burnt hair ALL THE TIME!! YUK. Rest assured, I am not injured, just inconvenienced..ha,ha.
Ryan is coming home on Wednesday for a week (in between semesters). I am excited but aprehensive too. I am still in the full swing of school, so I won't have much time to spend with him. :( Sometimes I worry that my being in school is hurting my children. I have asked TT over and over if she needs me to quit. You know I would do it for my children. At this point, she tells me no…
Well, here is today's pictures…not many of them. The first was taken at Jessica's shower in Utah. It was held during the Priesthood session.
Someone must have known that she loves giraffes and made this car seat cover.
I may have sent this last week, but it is so cute!
So, extra prayers for Tiffany would be appreciated! I am so proud of you!! I am grateful that you are my son! I hope I didn't stress you out by telling you about Tiffany. She will get better!!!
I love you!
Mom
