Chit Chat Tuesday

Tonight was the Chit Chat Tuesday for our ward and I had a great time. I brought a dessert that I found on the WeightWatchers recipe. All it is is blueberry pie filling and angel food cake mix. Stir it together, slop it in a pan and cook for about 40 minutes (the recipe said 30 but mine sank and I had to cook it more when I got to the church). There were tons of goodies that everyone brought and we had a great time eating and chatting. We also did a white elephant gift exchange. I ended up with a gallon bucket of blueberries that were picked fresh out of a sisters garden. So excited about that because Atrion loves blueberries and the ones at Walmart were all pruny and shriveled so I didn't buy any.

I stayed around for about 4 hours and just chatted with a few of the other sisters. it was a nice break to be around all women who are all going through, or who have already gone through, what I am going through with kids and family and all that wonderful stuff. Oh, I also learned what a brown recluse looks like up close.

I am not sure what kind of mother I would be if I didn't have the gospel to guide me. I am sure I would love Atrion, but I also don't think I would be as happy or as healthy and that definitely would affect Atrion and my marriage. Knowing that I am sealed forever to them gives me a different perspective on life then I would otherwise have. I love it.



Here are my happy accomplishments today:
~Went to Chit Chat Tuesday
~Paid Josh for his hard work. He is awesome.
~Got our tenant requests done.
~Played blocks with Atrion.
~Family grocery trip
~Made a dessert that I can eat guilt-free.
~Cleaned the house really fast even though I didn't want to at all.
~Did not eat out even though I was starving, but I knew I would feel bad later since we have good food at home and a car full of groceries. Cody was happy about that.
~Took pictures of Atrion and Cody. I need to do that more.

Goal for tomorrow:
Eat lean to offset the food I binged on tonight and STUDY!!!!
