Yup.
Warning- rambling stream of consciousness ahead. Head's been spinning so I'm just gonna spit it all out as it comes. Sister Emily married a great guy last Thursday, Joshua Park. Beautiful wedding. I baked 58 loaves of sweet breads for the reception. Bought clothes for my family (and a few things for my sister's family...purple! love it!) and made a dress for L. to wear. Threw Ems a shower and took their engagement pics. Was sick the week before, but cleared up in time for her Endowment, luckily. Spence was out of town last Sunday - Wed. night. Came back just in time for the sealing. He left again this morning for another business trip. Got called to be Primary Pres. in the middle of all of this. Bit of advice: don't pray to be shown your weaknesses so you can make them stronger unless you mean it. Cleaned the Temple. Still doing fruit orders. Lots of photo shoots and editing. Tax commission sent a notice that I didn't pay my business taxes last quarter. So did. Had to clear that up. B-day cruise got cancelled. Cavity filled. Ribbon at the State Fair. Dry pack, planning and executing a Court of Honor for the scouts, volunteering at the school and running carpools. Quit guitar lessons for a few months, but hope to start again next month. Still running around 3x week, usually 4 miles. Had the last of our bake sales/yard sale for J.'s fundraising. Not sleeping well. I end up on the couch 1/2 of the time. I think I got 4-5 hours last night, and am thinking I have a sinus infection now. Swiss friends are in town, so I can drown my sorrows in Swiss chocolate. Throw in evacuation for a wildfire and the general care of a household of two adults, five kids, a dog, a snake and a fish and there you have it. Is it any wonder I had a breakdown over the weekend? My life is a mess, mostly of my making, and mostly good stuff, but messy. I need to potty train L. and decorate for Halloween. Got to get the boys going on Duty to God again, and focus on Primary. Hasn't sunk in yet. Love General Conference. It used to drag on as a kid. Now it is over way too quickly. President Packer rocks! They all do. Sis-in-law is pregnant. HUGE miracle. No make-up today, but at least I got a shower. Need to go do laundry and feed the kids breakfast. And pray.

I recently quit my Spanish classes under similar circumstances. We were in your neighborhood this week and saw the fire line, so scary! My 4 yr. old chastized me for no Halloween decorations up yet just last night...and yes, conference went way too fast. Wishing you well in Primary!!!
Love you! Hear ya, don't ya love it when you are blessed beyond comprehension.
Wedding was a success..so beautiful, pictures were fantastic, bread sooo yummy, you will be an AMAZING Primary President and you are somebody many people look up to. You can totally have a breakdown whenever you feel it..YOU ROCK!
I think I need a nap. Thanks for the cameo in that busy, busy list.
