I made a decision before getting up this morning at 5. I don't want to go to Farmington, New Mexico to the temple open house. I hurt and I am so tired and I just don't want to sit in the car for 8 hours today. When I told James he was very sweet about it. He ended up going back to bed for awhile. I worked at my desk until James gets up and we have prayer, Book of Mormon, and "Come Follow Me."

Since we had planned on being gone, the day holds many possibilities. At one point James asked if we were going to Vernon Day. I said, "Only if you want to." He really didn't.

James said he wanted to build shelves for the tack room so he could clean out Luna's stall. He was going to go to the dump but when he called Chuck, Chuck said he already had his stuff loaded up and he was ready to come over and get ours. James conceded. 

James did mow and edge the back lawn.  Something is pulling up tufts of our grass and James is frustrated because he can't figure out what it is. 

I'm just going to work on the things I normally work on when I am at home with an emphasis on doing two blog posts. 

I reminded James that tomorrow is fast Sunday and our first marriage and parenting class. We will plan on eating at 12:30 today starting our fast at one and fasting until one tomorrow. 

I made omelets for our last meal today. I made James a 3-egg omelet with ham, onion, cheese, and green chilies. I had a 2-egg omelet with provolone and cheddar cheese. James agreed that it was a great lunch. We are fasting again for Rowan, Evan, and Joshua serving missions. 

My computer photo app is giving me grief again and is the main reason I don't always get two blogposts done a day. 

I ordered a dress on Amazon. I ordered a size medium and will have to shrink into it. I finished the book, "The Heirs of Falcon Point." It was a good one. James is still reading it. 

Tom was very clingy today and I loved it. 

I gave James a haircut this evening. He needs a trim about every two weeks.

And if any man among you be strong in the Spirit, let him take with him, him that is weak, that he may be edified in all meekness, that he may become strong also.

Yay Charlie!
