Things about Monday
I woke up to a big mess. I don't clean on Sundays.. so my house is not happy to wake up to.
I got up.. made my hot chocolate.. and sat down to read my morning paper ( blogs and Facebook )
I even read blogs that I haven't checked in a long time. I still can't comment on 1/3 of them.
I'm still reading and love you! But.. I do like Internet Explorer... and your blogs won't take me!
Mary is up. She wants some breakfast.. and wants me to turn on music. We have a dance party everyday. I have decided that 4 is my favorite age. They are potty trained... old enough to tell you how things are and talk your ear off.... and yet.. still little enough to follow you around everywhere.
Sometimes the "following around everywhere" is a nuisance.. but I still deep down adore it.
What will I do next year.. when she is in Kindergarten and I can use the bathroom by myself?
I spoke in church yesterday. In Sacrament Meeting.
When the Bishop called and asked me.. I thought "Don't people hear from me enough??" Since I teach Gospel Doctrine ( Sunday School class ) and bear my testimony often?
They still wanted me to speak. I did it.. and in 10 minutes. Whew.
Chad said... Well... at least you will be more relaxed up on the stand.. because you don't have to sit with the kids..
Um.... since when is it relaxing to sit on the stand and speak in church???
I will tell ya.... Never.
Last week... 3 people I know -- that are very dear to me.. were diagnosed with Cancer.
I hate Cancer.
It's always around.. and brings heartache and sadness to everyone.
If you are related to one of the people I speak of... our family is thinking of you.. and praying for you daily. ~ And I mean that.
I have a very busy and full week ahead of me.
I am grateful.
Today I am Grateful for:
Breaking Dawn in a few days... Party!
Friends.
Family.
Church.
The beginning of a new week.

I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn too! We'll have to compare reviews once we see it.
I'm sure you gave a great talk yesterday. I have a feeling I'm going to get asked soon since it's been over a year, but I hope I'm wrong!
I found the book on Amazon.co.uk. I am going to order it soon. Cancer is a dreadful disease. I lost a friend last month. At work several people died in the past year! I realize how lucky Henk and me are for being healthy, that is the most important thing.
Take care,
Marianne
I found some more info on you comment problem on the Blooger forum. Maybe this helps.

I bet your talk was fabulous! I hope you will share it if you can.
Ya, what will you do when you can go to the bathroom by yourself? Knowing you, you'll be busy doing service and giving.
Enjoy your day!
You shouldn't be nervous, because you are amazing! :) And sorry, I really wanted to stop and talk yesterday in church, but I was getting a doc referral from someone and needed to write down the name before I forgot it, when I looked up you were gone and I felt crappy.
Bless your heart. Me, a girl who is totally fixated on 'clean'. I take it to the limits but on Sundays....nada! You'll find my house cleaner when I'm sick than on Sundays.
I figure if God took the day off....'Just sayin'.....Heeehehehe!
God bless and have a fantastic week sweetie!!! :o)
I had the blogger comment problem a couple of months ago. What fixed it for me is unchecking the box that asks if you want to stay logged in. Try that. My dad works with your uncle Kelly and was telling me about his wife. I'm so sorry! I can't wait for the day when there is a cure for cancer!
You are right about that magical age of four, but I'll bet she will stay awesome into that also magical age of 5 (which i love in my kindergarteners I teach)!
I bet you gave a great talk! I have to agree with you, I think sitting with the kids is more relaxing than speaking in church! You may feel you are talking enough in church but the Lord must need your voice right now.
I am starting to really enjoy Ayla's age. She is finally showing signs that she has learned from our disciplin. I didn't think it was doing anything but we just kept going and now it is starting to pay off.
Ann Marie...I love reading all of the things you are grateful for, love reading your ramblings about life....My dad's sister was diagnosed with cancer on Halloween and died on November 8th. She made it barely over a week. It was SO sad and I got to thinking how truly LUCKY you were that you got an extra year and a few months with your dad before he passed on. Not very many people are that lucky. Even though it was hard for you and your family, at least you still had your dad there to talk to, hold his hand, and to say your good-byes to, etc...
SO sorry you had to talk in church...I hope all went well with everything. I agree with Tauna, you should post it on your blog, since this is a journal for you and you will want to save it for memory's sake.
I think talking in church is going to be coming my way sooner than later because last time we talked it was October 2008. I hope I'm wrong.
Cherish the next 9 months with that sweet adorable Mary Caroline to keep you company. I do have to agree that ages 3-5 are my favorite ages....They just grow up too quickly and you wish you could keep them young forever. Cherish each of these moments, which I know you will!
Just love you sweet Ann Marie!!
