It always looks worse before it looks better! As is the case with my office. Can you believe all this stuff came out of one closet? I'm going to remedy this!

14: ice..drive carefully?
I do not live in Southern California to receive such messages on my car!! Who knew this message even existed? I didn't until today!
Ahhh..the cell phone story.
Today in seminary one of my students thought it would be funny to take my phone. Mind you, I already feel like I'm losing my mind a little bit, so when I couldn't find it and was frantically looking everywhere for it, sadly, I could only come to one conclusion..someone took it! Not a conclusion I made quickly! I searched the classroom, the library, my cupboards, my car..even though I knew it was on our table for the opening hymn. Finally, I had to give up and get home to get the kids to school {as it was late start Monday}. I was so frustrated and mad. Sadly, my phone has my life in it. My calendar, my contacts, my email. Just before taking the kids to school, I got a call from one of my students informing me what had happened and that another student had taken it and then pawned it off on another. All I felt was relief. Once I realized who it was and talked to their parents, I felt much better. The individual came over later that afternoon and apologized. Having had that cool down time, I was able to use it as a teaching moment. We're studying the New Testament and Jesus' teachings. He taught forgiveness and that's what I did. I told him that I truly appreciated him coming over..that took courage. What's done is done and forever in the past! I will remember it no more!

12: sunday on a saturday
I was in my church clothes from 6:00 a.m. till 9:30 p.m. today!
Started my day off early at a seminary training in Fontana. Got home and had about 1/2 hour to get Jayden and Ryder to a birthday party and Skyler to soccer practice. Then Jim and I drove down to the temple. It was a great day, but a very tiring day! I should have just pulled a RAGNAR of dress and slept in my clothes and gone to church early the next morning!
{a trip to the temple naturally involves a trip to sprinkles for Jim}

9: 6 zay
Jim's new license plates came in the mail today. It's just funny..I have this little hang-up with numbers matching or having some kind of flow to them. When I got a cell phone, I had the guy go through more than a dozen phone numbers until I had one that flowed. With license plates, you have no control..unless you order a VANITY plate, which we do not! So when I opened these up and saw a very easy plate to memorize, I was excited. 303 is the first 3 numbers in our phone number..that's easy enough. When Jim got home and I told him his plates were on the table, I heard a sudden burst of laughter. "What's so funny?" I asked. He couldn't believe that I didn't know what he was talking about. "Did you not see my new plates?" he said. "6 ZAY..SEXY". I didn't even see it! He brought Skyler over.."what does this say?" Skyler bursts into laughter and asks, "why did you order sexy license plates?" I'm sure the convicts making these got a little laugh at this too {do jailbirds still make license plates?} Anyways..I think this is hilarious. Yes Jim, you are 6 ZAY!

7: resolutions
For family home evening, we made good of all our old magazines and made goal posters. The boys all whined in the beginning..probably because it involved a little work, but in the end, they took great pride in their individual posters.

4: vitamix's maiden voyage
Jim had asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I really didn't have anything that I wanted, but I kinda needed a new blender. That's all I gave him and this is what I got! So, just like my father, Jim goes right to the most expensive blender on the market. If it costs more, it's got to be better, right? In this case, I'm kinda glad he did because it's pretty awesome!

3: watching my repairs
I can see where the dealership was going with the idea of having t.v.'s in the waiting area so you could watch your car as it's being worked on, but just because I can see them, doesn't mean I TRUST them any more! For all I know, they are laughing and planning what they can pull apart to create more work.

2: get air
Today was the great Christmas take-down! I usually wait till the kids are back in school, but I was just ready for a fresh start. I was reminded, from these 3, that it was still vacation for them and I was wasting "their" vacation cleaning! I'm soooo sorry...Let me make it up to you! You poor dears..{this is dripping with sarcasm, in case you didn't notice}. So to calm the complaining storm that was taking place in our home, I stepped away from my cleaning and took them to Get Air for an hour. How I cave so easily!

January 1: Happy 2013
Here I am again..another year, another picture of the day! I was contemplating not doing it this year. I was trying to think of a new way to document our life but couldn't come up with anything that was as simple and doable. Plus, the 2 people that actually look at this blog, pleaded for me not to stop. So..here we go! Here are some snapshots of our, crazy, chaotic, adventurous, but real life, one day at a time.
Happy 2013!
This is how the Geddies' bring in the new year, every year! It was especially great this time because my parents were, once again, able to join us! We also had the Warrens, the Rheads, and my sisters masses. For Christmas, I had purchased Jim an inflatable couch that pulled out into a bed..it was quite the hit with all the crowds. We were happy that Stephen was visiting from Hawaii, so we had at least one of the Watkins representing. Even if he did fall asleep mid-parade. Jesus made an appearance, as did crazy, almost naked man. The Stanford band played their stop signs and bathroom sinks. We saw our fair share of "male" flag twirlers and one of the youngest drum majors I've ever seen. I was a little disappointed with the protestors, or lack of! The stealth fly by surprised us all by coming near the end of the parade rather than the beginning, but it was grand and spectacular all the same. Tella, you were sorely missed and we pray that you are getting stronger everyday!!
2013 is off to a great start! Even if my blog is 20 days behind..
