Mommy thoughts

I have to admit that I've been moping around the last few weeks. Just pouting and feeling sorry for myself because of the little time I get to have Travis around. He spends every day, all day at the school during the week. And on the weekends, he works 12 hour shifts. It has really put a damper on things and it is ROUGH not having him around when it's been an especially tough day with Kelton. I've just been feeling so lonely and basically like a single mom. That's probably why the Lord has given me 2 new church callings, to keep me busy and help me keep my mind off the negative...more on that later! BUT...yesterday I decided to get a hold of things because otherwise this was going to be a LONG 2 years. So while Kelton was sleeping, I had some time to think about all the huge blessings I have in my life. The biggest one being a husband who is willing to sacrifice his time with his family in order to provide a better future for us. A husband who honors his Priesthood and tells me every minute we're together just how much he loves me. With all his homework he still takes the time to thank me for dinner and tell me how nice it is to come home to a clean house! Another blessing, Kelton! He is a genius, I swear!! He tries to say words after us...in the bath tub I tell him "lay down" so I can wash his hair and he repeats "la dow." He follows directions too...throwing garbage away, putting shoes back, picking up toys, helping with dishes. He is just one giant sponge soaking everything up!! I am so thankful for my family and they make me want to do everything I can to help make them happy.
