Lighthouse in Trinidad

If it weren't for the Jones family I'd be going nutso here! Up until a couple of days ago the weather has been horrible. Me, bad weather, alone with my kids makes me very grumpy. Lucky for us the weather was beautiful today. I went to a ward party in Trinidad with the Jones/Whites and then spent the rest of the day with them. They filled up a pool and the kids went back and forth from the hot tub to the pool. Rylee was in heaven with all of her new friends. She loves them all. Then we barbecued hamburgers. My mom and dad stay pretty busy. I'm so grateful that Tasha includes me in everything and lets me come over everyday and bug her. She's been my best friend since before I can remember.

I hurt my ankle in my softball game on Thursday night. I was pitching (which I loved) and got hit with the softball right on the inside of my ankle. It was killing me all day yesterday but is doing much better today. My mom took the boys up to the lake for the weekend and my dad just had knee surgery. So my dad and I are hobbling around each other in the house. It's kind of funny.

Living here hasn't been easy. I miss my own space, seeing my husband, having some of my own time. It's kind of lonely. I feel like I'm single again but with four kids. Which I guess translates into a single mom. It's hard to relax because I don't want my kids to mess my parents nice house up. Rylee has been pretty hard which makes it that more difficult. I feel like I'm getting after her all day long. So basically I'm in a bad mood all day. I get zero breaks because if I want to go to the store I have to go with all of them or when they are in bed at night. But by then I'm too tired to go out. Anyway, yes I'm having a pity party. What to join? I just keep reminding myself that this is very short term and so worth it. I think I can, I think I can...... Good news is that my sister Kasey will be here on Monday. Wahoo!
