so the morning started out hectic, (as usual) and then turned bad. adriana woke up coughing like crazy this morning. i of course freak out b/c our kids are prone to croup, our insurance runs out on friday, and we are leaving for disneyland on thursday. so i scheduled an appointment for adriana at 12 i had to take my friends daughter to school at 11:30 and i was running late. well my friends daughter was sick and i had to give her meds. as i was walking (or should i say running out the door with the door shutting behind me) i remembered that i had to give them to her and that's when it happened. i left my keys inside. it went down hill from there. keep in mind that i'm leaving for disneyland tomorrow. i haven't done my laundry or packing, i have to clean my house, and i still have to go to walmart. so we start walking. i decided to go to sarah's(irvin) house. she wasn't home. we walk to school. i call everyone's # that i can possibly think of,(don't have a cell) but nobody's home. so i start walking again. stopped by sarahs house again.... still not home. walked to the park let the kids play for just a bit. left b/c a little girl was coughing up her lungs. (remember i'm freaking out over infected people) we walk back home. hung out in back yard for 40 OF THE MOST LONGEST MINITUES OF MY LIFE. fell asleep for about 5 mins. and suddenly woke up b/c the spirit told me to try the window one more time. i don't know how but my strength came over me and that window opened up. walked into my house at 2:55, husband got home at 3:20 and off i was to start my day at 3:30. had an eye appt. at 4:00 (on the other side of town) had to pick up car from sis-in law (for our trip) went to go pick up minnie costume from b/f house, went to mom's house to pick up cell, went to walmart, was home by 9:00, and started laundry. what a day! let me just tell you though walking around on my own, with my two beautiful children with no food or water in their belly's, totally made me think about the pioneers. how grateful i'm feeling right now. not only for their sacrifices, but for the amazing life i live. for the gospel in our lives, for the priesthood that rene holds, for those blessings that he gave us when we got home. for the example that Christ gives me each and everyday. for the family that i love, and for the amazing friends that i have in my life. so it's safe to say that i will be home ALL day tomorrow getting things done before we take off to the happiest place on earth. (picutres of this wonderful day will posted on a different day)

That is amazing that you looked at that experience as something to be learned from, i do believe things do happen for a reason, no matter what it is it's kinda like a nudge from up above you know! hope you had a good Trip to Disney!!
Aye Bernice!! But i'm sure the kids didn't mind you walking to the park and playing for a while. I'd say this was a life experience and yeah we sometimes don't realize what we can teach our kids until the time has passed. But you can still go back and say remember when...... and set the examples then.
