I blew it!

Yup!  I blew it at the Activity Day Dinner on Friday!   The girls looked so  cute in their matching black and white vests.    I regret not bringing my camera.  They totally looked the part of  chic waitresses.  They served us well.   We had breakfast for dinner (pancakes topped with strawberries, syrup and whipped cream, bacon and scrambled eggs).  To top that, they were serving  brownies with more whip cream and chocolate covered strawberries.   How can I say no to that? It was very DE'LISH.  The girls and of course Sis. K.C.  did a wonderful job.  Thanks for the memorable evening.

 

Saturday was another day.  I did a load of laundry and it's still in the basket waiting to be folded and put away.   I needed to stock up on toilet paper, paper plates, ziploc bags, laundry soap, chickem, foil, clorox, gummie vitamins, etc.   The kids love it when we go to Costco because they get FREE food!   They're happy.  I'm happy.  It's all good.   So, I did my Costco run.  Left at 10.... got there at 11 ....shopped for an hour... got back at 1...took Warrior 3 at a birthday party while Warriors 1 & 2  and Princess put the stuff away.  There goes my 3 hours  of  Saturday.  While Warrior 3 was at the party,  Warrior 2 wanted to go to the beach.    So, we  walked to Hukilau.  It had good waves.  They had fun!  Warrior 2 met up with several of his friends there.  He scored!  

 

I, on the other hand  couldn't go in the water.  I wanted to take a nap but didn't bring any towels or mats to lie on.  I was not prepared  so I had to accommodate.   I just sat tall with my legs crossed, gently closed my eyes, rested my hands on my legs  and  ...sigh...a moment of BLISS. (1 mississippi, 2 mississippi, 3 mississippi)  "Snap out of it girlfriend!"   uh-huh.   That didn't last.  I still had to keep my eyes on the children!  After an hour we went home.  While the kids were showering, picked up Warrior 3.  All are safe and home.

 

King Honeybuns  took us to eat at Papa Ole's.   The kids ordered mahi burgers (they are 'ono' -naimas, masarap, yummy, oishii) and teriyaki steak burgers,  I didn't like what I ordered.   I really liked what King Honeybuns ordered.  He got the chicken and shrimp plate.    Anyway,  went for a drive to Kaneohe...gala-gala (short for gallivanting) at the mall,  had dessert at Ben and Jerry's.   ugh!   why can't  I just say no to  ice cream?  

 

Went to see Indiana Jones.  It was an  okay movie.  It wasn't great at all.  I enjoyed  the popcorn, mochi crunch and skittles, though.  yikes!  I sound like a total junkie each time  I mention what I've eaten.  Something needs to change.  I wonder if  there are support groups  for people like me who can't seem to stop eating sweets?   Hmmmmmm.  Haven't you heard of the word moderation?   What a day?  I can't complain.

I didn't have to teach my Laurel's class today.  The YW presidency will now cover 1st Sundays of every month. yippee!  I can go to R.S.! 

I just now opened the book, "Stand a Little Taller" to page 160 and the message for today reads...."Believe in yourself.  Believe in your capacity to do great and good and worthwhile things.  Believe in the nature within you,  the divine nature, that you are in very deed a son or daughter of the living God.  There is something of divinity within you, something that stands high and tall and noble.  Get above the dirt and filth of the earth and walk on a higher plane with your heads up, believing in yourselves and in your capacity to act for good in the world and make a difference."

 That is a great message. We are all sons and daughters of God. We have divine potentials. We just have to remember that.
