well I am finally making another blog update...yay! unfortunatly the yuck has not gone away. infact it just seems to get worse with every week that passes. I was laying down for a nap and then woke upneeding to eat the girls are asleep,so I might as well write. I would not call it morning sickness. partly because its not just in the morning but all day and partly because it is this strange combination of nausia and extreem hunger that some how are connected. I have been waking up at night so hungry I can hardly lay there without passing out. I get that way really quickly too. and thats how I get hungry. one minute i am fine and the next i am shaking and starving and the thought of most foods, or pretty much any food makes me feel like I am going to have the pukes. This baby is hungry, and demanding :) Iwould keep crackers next to the bed. but the only things I want to eat int he night don't include any foods that can sit out for5 hours. ah the joys. and this too shall pass, but till then, it sucks. and if you read my blog you get to hear about it.
I was released from my calling of 1st councelor in the young women presidency today. I am sad. but I know that it is time. I just wish it were possible to do everything I wanted all at once. but it is not. and I don't have strength even if it was. I have truley loved this calling. but really I truley love those young women. they are so beautiful. when I say that I realize that I have pretty much loved every calling I have ever had. but the youth are something amazing. My sister Halley posted on her blog about how she loves other peoples children, and it got me thinking....."huh I don't." now that might sound mean but its not. I take other peoples kids like I do other people. I am not best friends with every other person. there are some I get along with better then others. but when it comes to teenagers, I really love them. right now I can say that because i don't have any of my own. and I know they can be difficult for their parents. but I think I get them, on a different level then i get little kids. For one I still remember very clearly my teenage years and I was a rebelliouse one to say the least, so the rebels are not forign to me and the "good" ones, or less rebellouse ones, are more like me now. I am greatful for the season I was able to get to the girls. now it is time for me to focus on something else. my last thought on that subject is I hope I did enough to let them know I love them. and I hope the do know it.
we found renters. I am really excited about it. finally. I am shocked that we made it this long without renters and am greatful for the many blessings from the Lord that made it possible. I feel like we have been watched over and tenderly cared for. thank you to any and all who prayed for us to find renters. your prayers have been answered. love you all. Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.

Glad the renting issue is solved. May this tenant be both good and long lasting!
I do get what you mean about "other people's kids." I feel pretty much the same way as you... and I did when you guys were kids, too.
Regarding teens, they ARE different with other adults than their parents. And it is a good thing for them to have other adults they can relate to in a positive way, even if Mom and Dad don't get to see that side very often. With parents they are working on separation; with you, they are working on being that grown up, separate person. Both are needful..
Perhaps you could put an ad in Freecycle (I am sure they have one for your area) looking for a dorm-size fridge for free... if you have room for that by the bed that might help because you could have stuff that needed refrigeration, right at hand.
Sorry you are feeling so yukky with this baby...
