"The cause of most of man's unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now"

-President Gordon B. Hinckley

James and the boys left around 4:30 this morning.  James needs to be at work by 8 and the boys need to be home to watch Evan.  This is the last day of their spring break.  I am home alone, again.

I am reading the Book of Mormon in three places.  One place is with James.  We started on January 1 and will finish on March 31.  Today we read Ether 3-6.  The next is with the Young Women.  Sister Soderquist challenged them on January 27 to read the Book of Mormon in 3 months so Mary would finish before she graduates.  Today we are reading Alma 51-52.  The last is the yearly read where you cover about three columns a day.  That one I am doing by myself with a commentary and taking notes.  Today I covered p. 126-27 which is Jacob 5 thru verse 18.  

Here are some of the other things I did today: Wrote on my blog, paid bills, watched "Once Upon a Time" and "Dancing with the Stars."  I also did some cleaning and some laundry.  I made an appointment to visit Rosie Lauritzen tomorrow.  I am Rosie's visiting teacher.  I tried to make an appointment with Linda Diewald but she said she would prefer a phone visit. 

The guy who is cleaning up our yard said he would do it on Thursday so I made a decision about our annual Easter egg hunt.  We would have it Saturday morning in our yard.  I notified everyone.  Stacy and Paul already have plans to take Joshua to the Zoo with Paul's family.  His brother Aaron is visiting from Utah, but Sheri, Kim and Trina all said they would be there.  It's times like these that I really miss Jared & Tricia's family!
