After getting ready, I attempted to do too many things all at the same time. It seemed like a good idea at the time: I could do the budget and other things on the computer and just take breaks when the kids need something from me and also to clean up and get my chores done. But in reality it just made everything take about twice as long as it needed to and left me feeling quite a bit stressed.

I had a decent break at story time at the library. We left with these quite hefty non fiction books. While we were there, Peter asked me where the airplane and car books were. I made him go ask the reference librarian. He was quite shy about it, but did it, and she of course knew right where they were and had a few words of advice for him.

I try to meditate every day, but it usually turns into a tiny nap. I love tiny naps. I nearly finished my landscape design later in the day while the older kids played outside. Joe got off work early so I was able to get a much needed haircut. In the evening after dinner, we went on a walk around the temple. It is a very frequent walk we take and the kids love it.
