Auto Pilot

I am sorry I have been so sporadic lately. I feel like my life has been on auto pilot lately. Every day is assigned certain activities and I do them then rest and get on with the next day. It doesn't help that Corey works so much, then does school, then gets his lesson done for Sunday. Sometimes he can squeeze a football game in. We really haven't seen too much of each other lately which makes me sad. But I just keep thinking of others who don't see their spouse as much and I know I am not alone. He just works so hard all the time.

I try to keep busy with working out, kids and now MMA classes three times a week. I take the noon class and the owner allows me to bring Hailey and she just runs around getting into stuff. He doesn't seem to mind, so I keep coming back. These classes are brutal and as I got hit in the face a couple of times and then kicked over and over again in the legs because I forgot to block, I ask myself if I really like this. Weird that the answer is yes. After class was all over I was sitting on the bench trying to catch my breath and the instructor came over and told me I had dirt on my shoulders from the huge tractor tire that we mess around with. I look over and start laughing and told him that it wasn't dirt but bruises. He didn't believe me till I tried to rub it off. I guess I look like a really ripe banana now. But when I looked online it seems to be normal for MMA and that eventually my body will adapt and not get so bruised. Good thing it is starting to get cooler or people would think I was getting abused at home.

I organized a child's clothing drive at our General R.S. broadcast, and had a ton of people drop off their clothing (and of course other stuff that was not supposed to be dropped off). Then we had no one take anything. So even waiting till after Sunday meetings for people to take these clothes I had to bag it all up and haul it down to Goodwill. My Pilot was packed. We had small numbers for the actual broadcast, but I am so glad that I went. It is amazing to me how you can just feel the love of the Prophet as he speaks. There is nothing like an uplifting talk to help you through your rough patches. I encourage those who didn't watch it to watch online or make sure and read it when the conference issue comes out.

I wish I had pictures to go with this post, but the camera is out in the car and it is pouring rain right now. So I will upload some later.
