I said I’d try to post more, but I haven’t been. I’ve been trying for a long time. I sit at the computer, staring at the blank page for hours, and just give up. Nothing is really happening, but there is a bunch of stuff that’s about to happen. It seems as if it is always that way. It seems as though I’m always bored, staring at the calendar waiting for something to happen. And plenty of times, I’m interrupted by a friend coming up to play, or something else fun like that. And normally, I’d have a lot of fun with them. But because I am looking forward to the day on the calendar when something big happens, I hardly notice that I am actually having fun. And the funny thing is, when that day on the calendar finally arrives, I am still blind to the fun that I am having there, because some other bigger more exciting event is distracting me once more. I wish that I were more laid back so I could take the time to enjoy all the friends and family and fun that are staring me in the face. I wish I were more thankful for today instead of longing for tomorrow.

Well, I suppose I’ll just tell you about my day. We woke up at about 8:00, ate breakfast, and left for S.W.I.N.G. (Seminary Wives In Nurturing Groups), which is every other Tuesday. The moms did a bible study there, and us kids did some of our school, had snack, and played on the playground. It was basically like a mini school, except for it was for homeschooling kids and it only lasted about two hours. Usually afterward, our S.W.I.N.G. group would go to a park and have a picnic together, but we didn’t this time, because it was to cold. So instead, we all went to the Bults (one of the families in the group). After that, we came home and just hung out (clean, practice piano, read, play on computer, call friends, watch Monk, invite the Harrison’s up). We ‘hung out’ till about 4:00, then Mom and Dad went on a walk while we stayed home. I worked on one of my books and Emma and Anja played superheroes (they play that a lot, and it’s pretty cool. It’s more like wizards than it is superheroes. I’m actually working on a book based on their game). After that we cleaned up and Emma and Anja went to bed, and I am sitting here at 10:04 p.m. typing this. Wait– 10:04?! Oh, sorry, I gotta go to bed!
