Rachel's Ramblings

Posting without pictures is something I don't often do but I have been so busy I don't think I have taken a picture in weeks. After reading this you might understand why my posts should have pictures. I spent the last several weeks getting ready for Relief Society Souper Saturday. One of my favorite days of the year but usually I am helping out cutting vinyl and getting other projects ready and so it keeps me very busy. I have found that when I thought that I would have more time because the kids are in school I was mistaken. I seem to have less. I think on average I get in the car and drive into town 3 times a day. Town is really only five minutes away but it takes so much time to load kids into the car. I have found though that I have had a little time for exercising which is helping me have a better attitude about life. I had a funny night last night. The phone rang at 4:00 am. Of course I jumped right out of bed worried that something horrible had happened because who calls at 4 o'clock in the morning. I looked at the caller id but the number did not register I was after all half asleep. I said Hello and my dad said "Rachel" My heart went racing. I knew that my parents were traveling to Germany and of course all the dreadful things that could have happened that would cause my father to call in the middle of the night ran through my head. Then he said "Wash the Potatoes". What? We had a conversations about potatoes two days earlier. Did he realize it was the middle of the night? Yes he realized he was checking to make sure his cell phone was working all the way on the other side of the world. Thanks dad for the wake up call. Rodney and I could not get back to bed for a half an hour because we couldn't stop laughing. Thanks dad for the heart attack and I will make sure I wash the potatoes.
