Happy Mothers Day!

Sunday 5-11-13

I woke up today … you guessed it, with a stuffy nose. Fantastic! I think I have had a total of two days being healthy here. It’s not super bad so I took my vitamins, got some Airborn and Doterra going on. I hope it stops it because I need all the health and strength I can get to finish these last two months off strong!

I woke up at 5:00am ready to start the day so I set my alarm for 6:45 so I could go to breakfast and tried to get some more sleep. I dozed off here and there but not enough to feel like sleeping through breakfast. I think I was just mostly bored of lying there so I went to go eat. Breakfast was good. I filled my tummy up and headed back to my room. I have the whole bleh sick feeling throughout my body so I thought I would take a nap until church started.

Today us girls walked into the common room ready for church with the boys having made eggs, French toast and bananas for us wishing us a “happy future mother's day” it was very sweet of them to honor the girls in the group even though we aren't technically mothers, in fact, it was actually pretty fun. It was supposed to be district conference or something like that, but the sound was so bad we couldn't hear much of anything! It’s hard enough trying to focus without being able to see them let alone hear them, add a stuffy nose into the mixture and I only lasted an hour.

I headed back to my room to try and write in my journal but ended up wrestling with my computer instead. Today has been a pretty stressful day and I would have rather slept through it. If it weren’t for the boy’s breakfast, it would have been a total bust.

Sam came home and told me about her adventures and I just laid here wanting to die.... or maybe just go into a coma for a little bit. I’ve been sick here more than I have been sick in the last 5 years. And I’m sick of it! Guh!

I looked over on my shelf at the box of blueberry muffins I haven't made yet. I haven't been the best cook my whole life and to be frank have hardly any skills but after reading the back, decided I could add a cup of water and stir.. what’s the harm in that? The kitchen was pretty busy with a group of Teachers I don't know very well so I got my supplies and sat with Sarah in the Hall and mixed my muffin batter. We chatted until it was time for me to brave the crowded kitchen and use the little “oven” I found some small muffin tins and oil. I am just going to say everybody wanted my goods! Luke tried to stop me in the hallway and stop me from getting through “you can't leave, I want one of those.” that was until I looked straight at him “wanna bet?” he moved and said he forgot about my Kungfu skills... that’s right buddy leave me and my baby muffins alone!

      Earlier this week, we all drew names and had a secret service buddy. I know it wasn't very secret cuz everyone knew that I made the muffins but I left a few on Sams bed for my act of service. I wrote Sarah a note and felt pretty sneaky heading down to eat dinner. Dinner was pretty good. Chopped potatoes but I’m just not feeling very hungry right now.

I headed back up to my room and got some very important emails sent to a few very important people. I hope they got them and know that I wish them a very Happy Mother’s day!
