Visiting Teachers

Visiting Teachers. I am a little down about mine right now. They come every month. They share the thought. But that is all, in and out. I even found myself almost telling them over the phone that I was fine and they didn't need to come by. But I stopped myself. I will keep trying. They have only been coming a couple of months. I miss my "old" Visiting Teachers. I was comfortable with them. They loved my kids, and my kids loved them. They would come, visit, share the message, we would feel the spirit, sometimes there was tears, and they probably always stayed longer than they should have. They NEVER left without a hug. I am sure more often then not, kids where waiting for their Mom. But I didn't ever feel like an inconvience. They were surely sisters I could call in the middle of the night. They were wonderful examples of Visiting Teaching and I hope they know how much I love them. I should probably look at the flip side of the coin. I had the best Visiting Teachers during the most difficult time of my life. (up to this point) It is time to move on. They were probably needed in another home other than mine. I guess I am just feeling BLAH. This is the 3rd straight week of Nate being gone. Well, not straight weeks. He was gone for 2 weeks, home last weekend and gone again this week. I really am used to this. Some weeks are just harder than others. As I read through this, I am tempted to not post it. I don't like my blog to be negative. But I think too, it is life and life isn't always peachy king. Some days are harder than others and we get through them. When we get through them, we become stronger, learn more and become closer to who Heavenly Father wants us to be. On a happy note, in about 2 weeks I will hopefully (fingers crossed) reach a goal that I have been working towards the last couple of months. It is a major milestone for me and I am pretty excited about it. I haven't decided if I will post about it or not. It would be shining some attention on myself and I don't know if I want that. I have also been working on some Pinterest projects. I told myself that if I am going to be pinning things, I have to do some. My goals is 3 a week. This weekend MyLeigh is turning 9. We have a special day planned for her. I am also going to spend Friday with one of my most favorite longtime friends, Cami. I am so looking forward to it! Here is also a little insight into my life. I am a scaredy cat. I monitor very carefully what I watch on TV. My imagination gets the better of me sometimes. I can build on one little thought that then keeps me up all night. We really enjoy the show "Castle". Well, I haven't watched it for a long time. The shows just keep piling up on the DVR. Sunday night, we decided we better start catching up on them. So, the first one on the list was the week before Halloween. 10 minutes into it I had my hands over my ears and humming to myself to not hear what was going on. I managed through the show, but with a couple more moments of humming. Then they had to show the tri pod move! There are a lot of things that scare me, but first on the list would be the grouping of spirits, ghosts, unexplained happenings. Honestly, I am just thankful I have slept soundly alone for 2 nights. I am sure Nate is too, I don't think he likes getting phone calls in the middle of the night.
