Catching Up

For the last two nights I have been completely exhausted when journal writing time came around.  I tried to put something down but must apologize for lack of depth and thought in the last two entries.  Suffice to say there are days when my tank is empty and I just have nothing left.  I have pretty much been running on fumes since last Friday and catching up has been a challenge.  We extended the hours of the LBH and that has translated into longer hours at work which means later arrivals at home, later dinner, later homework, later scriptures and prayer, later kneeling at Andy's bedside and later getting a moment to relax.  The body is done.  The mind is spent and the only thing left to do is sleep but I fight it to try and write something and that doesn't always work out so well.  I had an email I needed to send out last night and all I really had to do was type in the recipients address, type an 8 word message and hit send.  That took me a solid 30 minutes to accomplish.  Sure that included a power nap or two but my goodness, ridiculous.  Hopefully I got it out to the right people. 

I have continued listening to conference and really enjoy that.  There is so much to learn, so much to understand.  I am almost through the April conference and will start that again.  I listened to a talk this morning, I am not certain by who.  Anyway there was a thought shared about contention in our homes and the message was this "It takes two to contend and I will not do it".  I find that to be a great statement that if adhered to will increase peace in our homes and the influence of the Spirit.  I just looked up the talk which is titled The Home: The School of Life by Elder Enrique R. Falabella.  Anyway, there were a lot of good points made in this talk and some funny stories as well.  I quite enjoyed it.  Conference is great and reviewing the messages of conference strengthens my Spirit, gives me direction that I desperately need, and helps me to feel my Saviors love.  I am grateful for that.

Tomorrow night is the Father and Son's camp out.  The boys are quite excited as they should be.  We love to go on the Father and Son's camp out and we will have a good time.  Not sure what the phone coverage will be like out there so I may not get tomorrow nights entry in until a later day.
