I haven't written in awhile, and I will write about the other things that have happened this summer, but right now, I will just write about my day. It started out very uneventful. Ashley came over and watched the Psych episode that I had DVR'd (I love Psych and I love the DVR!). After she went to work, Kimby watched Little Mermaid (one of her latest favorites). We took Spencer some lunch then went to visit our friend Shari at the Kirby office. After that, we went to WinCo to get a few things. Then I took some flyers for enrichment and our ward activity to a couple of families that we home teach.
Here is where my day starts becoming traumatic. On the way to one of the houses, I saw a squirrel running across the street. I figured it would stop or dart out of my way. Nope! It went right under my van as I was driving and I felt a BUMP! I just felt sick to my stomach. I passed it on my way back to my house and it was so sad to see the squirrel lying there lifeless!
Anyway, once I got back home, Kimberley accidentally dumped out about a third of a (fairly big) bag of mini-M&M's in my van, so I had to hurry and clean that all up before they melted and left a big chocolatey mess. Then we went inside and she spilled about half a can of cream soda on my carpet. A little later she got Spencer's leftover Lime Rickey out of the fridge and somehow it got dumped on her head and Katherine's head. Kids are MESSY!!
I checked my email and saw that I had a myspace message from one of my friends from England (that lives in Utah now) that said to call them. After talking to them for a little while, she told me that she and her husband of 29 years were getting a divorce. Talk about BOMBSHELL! I am in complete disbelief! These are two of my very favorite people in the world. Wow! I definitely didn't see that coming. You hear about people getting divorces all the time, but when it hits so close to home, it really makes you hurt for those people!
I went to Enrichment tonight and then my friend Melanie and I went out and got ice cream because we had both had emotional days. It was nice to get away, without kids or husbands, and just talk. Even though we were gone for just an hour, it made me feel so much better! It's nice having someone to talk to that understands what you're going through! Thanks Melanie! We'll have to do that again sometime.
