Ch-ch-ch-changes...
Today I was released from Activity days and also Pianist for primary kids.
I was really sad about that.
I don't mind the release from the AD's.... but to be released from playing the piano.
I really have enjoyed that for the past year.
And it forces me to practice.
Now I won't.
Not because I don't want to, but because despite my intention, I just never make the time.
Achilles and I were just called as the Val10 teachers.
Which is fine.
Just not nearly as exciting.
Something had to give tho.
And I'm learning to realize my realistic abilities.
And it's just not my season.
***
Two of my kids have birthdays tomorrow.
Big ones.
And I've spent my day today marvelling at how much they've changed.
AJ is going to be 12...which in our church is huge.
He'll receive the priesthood.
He'll be considered a Young Man.
He finished his FaithInGod award this past week.
And got his temple recomend today.
I'm proud of him.
L is going to be 14, which moves her up to the middle class of Young Women's.
No longer a "baby" Young Woman.
She gets to go to dances now. She is over the moon about that.
She informed me this afternoon that she will be driving in 18 months.
*sigh*
Change.

Achilles is STILL in a cast.
I'm sick of that, lemme tell you.
But, there's no choice about that.
He has another appt on Tuesday, and I'm hoping he'll be in a boot cast then.
Still, he did the laundry for me on Wednesday.
I heard the washer and dryer working when I came in...
I eyed the neat & orderly piles warily.
I asked E who did all that laundry.
She reported that Achilles had... and even folded everything himself.
I stood there in shock.
Changes.

Onle El is left in Primary to rule as she sees fit. Lucky girl!
BTW, we love y'all.
I know there are seasons and that things need to be moved to accommodate that, but I just don't like it.
I appreciate the view that you give us, it gives me hope.
