June 22-28, 2026
Katie: I got up early in the morning to get Katie a bottle. She was crying and kept saying over and over, "Mom! Where are you??" She can hold a short conversation like, (Hi Katie) "Hi Dad" (how are you?) "Good" (what are you doing?) "Nuffin"
Mary said some naughty things this week. She got mad and said, "I'm so pissed!" then she was mad at Katie and said, "You are a yucky little bastard." Obviously she didn't really know what those words meant so that was a wake up to us to use better language around her. She also said some funny stuff like, "Mom! You are killing me!" when I couldn't find her toy. I made some homemade hair salt spray and she saw me mixing "ingredients" in some water, she said, "you’re like a scientist lady” 🧪
Mom: I finished my desk. I asked to be released from young women. I feel a mix of emotions.
Dad had a really physical week at work and felt very tired but he seemed happy with work and he did really well with his nutrition and workout goals. He ordered a bench that will support his back better so it doesn't get worked everyday.
Monday was just a cleaning day. Tuesday I took the girls to dance and got some groceries. Wednesday we went to Fallon and had fun at their outdoor pool. We were with Megan Donlevy and ShaLay. Thursday we went to the church but April's speaker was broken so we just talked. I took the girls to the Kids Day at the park after. They have booths of games and toys and share resources for children that are available in the area. They had two helicopters there that we could look at and learn about.
Friday ShaLay came over and we finished my work desk! I'm excited to start using it. She told me that this super gossipy guy in her ward was asking about me. We talked about it and she thought him and his wife were gossiping about me. I was very hurt because it sounded like they heard from someone in my ward that I wasn't doing my calling well. Saturday we were all pretty tired and just laid low. Sunday I taught young women. I met with the bishop after church and asked to be released. I was hurt about what ShaLay told me and I know I haven't been able to support Arielle and Kim very much for stuff during the week. Bishop Hoopes was very compassionate and understanding. He also told me that the Stake was asking about my availability for a calling and he said he would tell them no because I need to be available to my family right now. But that shed light on what ShaLay told me because it turns out there was no gossip, that annoying guy that asked her about me was genuinely asking for the Stake and there had been no mean comments from the young women leaders. I felt bad about that because that is what brought this whole thing on. So I'm going to be released from young women. I liked serving there because I love the girls but I can't do stuff during the week and Paul doesn't really support it so it is a hard thing. I wish I had more faith. Maybe this is happening how it should be but what if the Lord needed me to serve in the Stake or at least stay in Young Women's and I just chose to be offended and make a decision when I didn't know the truth or the whole story. Now I'm out of that calling. I don't feel like the weight I felt before church is gone. I still feel weighed down and I'm not sure what the right answer is.
Wendy and Rachel got into town in the evening. We went to dinner at Grimaldi's then came back to our house for ice cream.
