Keeping the Sabbath
George decided to be sick this morning. I went to church to help Jillian with her talk and then came back to sit with him.
I was a little bummed because it's fast and testimony meeting today and I do enjoy those. Ah well.
So now here I sit in the front room fighting the urge to get up and start working some more on my kitchen. I know my body needs this break. And so does my mind and spirit.
I think I'll visit some friends today. Visiting with friends is good. I'm going to try and get caught up with the 489 new posts in my Google reader. That's acceptable. Right?
Oh and a nap. A nap is definitely on the agenda. Right after my meeting for Girls Camp at 12:30.

Quick post
The kitchen threw up in my living room. Yes it did.
The good news is that now the kitchen is empty, de-goo-ed, scrubbed, spackled and textured, with a little bit of tape thrown in, I can now actually begin to paint.
The paint colors are....
Tropical Hideaway - for the cabinets
Dipping Chocolate - for the wall down the stairs
Graceful Willow - for the ceiling and the rest of the walls
Amber asked if I was going to post about the dance festival that our school does at the end of every year so I will! Amber and I got to sit together and totally talk while the principal gave instructions on where to pick up your children after it was over. But we were able to figure it out.
This festival is tradition at the school. My kids go to the same grade school that I went to. Yes they do. And I remember doing the dance festival. I loved it. When I went there every year the fourth graders got to do the "May pole". If you don't know what this is then you are missing out. It was SO cool. And it wasn't called the dance festival then. Back in the day it was known as May day. I don't remember if they actually tried to hold it on May first or not but that's what it was called.
I was going to post the video's but they are taking longer than I have time for to load so you'll have to be happy with pictures.
First up came Amber's daughter doing a patriotic dance. She rocked it.
Then came Jillian doing a Samoan Slap dance. I didn't get any actual pictures of her out doing the dance because I was filming it.
Doesn't she look cute with her braids and lei?
McKenna came next and again I got no pictures of the actual dance because I was recording it on the camera. But here she is afterwards at home with her lava lava reinacting doing the hula.
And then George's class did a song to Kung Fu fighting. I actually got a couple of shots of him walking onto the field before the festival and then as his class ran onto the field for the dance. Doesn't he look ready to Kung Fu fight you?
So there you have it.
I'm still here. Hopefully this kitchen will be finished up by next Tuesday. That's the goal.
Until then pray for me living in the midst of kitchen puke.
