So Abe had his last basketball game yesterday. It was the championship! Well for the intermediate bracket. They won their first game in the morning and then played the second game at 5: 00. I missed the first but went to the second. Abe played pretty good. I got soooo mad, though, because his coach sat him out like almost half of every quarter. They only had six players! He finally put him back in at the last of the game. Abe played excellently! He was really good at defense. In the end they won 11 to 10!!! Yay!!!! We took our family out for pizza afterward to celebrate. Poor Abe was pooped,though,by the time we got home.
Today has also held a few adventures and some joys of motherhood. This morning was very hectic. Kaleb left at 7 to go to the Dodge City Ward so I slept in a little late, especially with the time change. I got up at 8 and then began getting all the kids their showers or bath. I think it only took me half an hour then we had to eat breakfast, another twenty minutes. By this time, at 8:50, I was starting to panic a little about getting to church on time. I jumped in the shower and then started getting the kids ready (Always the most stressful part)! I think I spent the next twenty minutes losing my temper. "Abe button your shirt!!" "Cy put your socks on" (at least five times) "Abe quit messing with your sister!!" "Cy, where's your belt?!!" "AAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!" So by the time we finally leave the house at 10:10 we are all dressed but honestly I was in no mood to attend church. (That is, by the way, the latest we've been in a long time. Luckily it only takes about three minutes to get to the church.) And of course, when we get to church, the primary lesson is on repentance. I felt TERRIBLE that I got so frustrated. Especially since I know if I had woken up earlier we probably wouldn't have been late. It was a yucky feeling. I did apologize to the kids on the way to church. I am realizing, the older I get, how infinitely and irritatingly imperfect I am. You just try harder (hopefully!) next time, I guess.

Jennifer,
Don't feel too bad...I'm like that everyday and I only have one kid...ha ha! The more perfect we become the more we see how imperfect we are...I heard that somewhere...your comment reminded me of that. So, you must be on a good road!
