This day was packed. I worked out this morning and then Abe played basketball. While he was at basketball, I menu planned and wrote a shopping list. Then it was time for lunch, after which Mary napped and I tutored Lydia for an hour. Afterward, Lydia and I \u00a0spent almost two hours shopping while Abe stayed home and cleaned the ENTIRE house–thank-you, Darling!! Then we came home, blitz-cooked dinner, and drove to the Marshalls’ to babysit. (We’re doing a stake conference babysitting swap.)<\/p>\n

Abe is currently passed out on the bed. We kind of want to watch\u00a0Mary Poppins<\/em> because we saw\u00a0Saving Mr. Banks\u00a0<\/em>last night, but we’re both so tired it might not happen. At any rate, we do have some pictures from the day.<\/p>\n

Before I post those, though, a prayer solicitation. I need to do an internship this quarter, and Abe turned to me tonight and asked if I wanted to intern at Communal<\/a>. I laughed in his face because Communal is only the hottest restaurant in Utah Valley right now, and I assumed this was another classic instance where Abe overestimated my abilities. But he then proceeded to tell me that, through work, he has a connection with the owner of Communal, and it looks like a real possibility that I could get an internship there. My jaw dropped when he explained that to me. So right now I am just praying that I get in. Mom and Grandma, could you please pray that I get this internship? I really, really, really, reallyreally want it. (That felt greedy to write, but at least it’s a forthright statement.) Thank-you!<\/p>\n

Here are today’s pictures:<\/p>\n

\"Tutoring.<\/a>
Tutoring. I was about to pull my hair out when it occurred to me that I need to put Lydia on a timer for the math problems. It worked like a charm! I worked out a reward system for all of the problems she solves correctly before the timer goes off, and she responded much better to that than my constant urging to “Focus, Lydia!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Abe<\/a>
Abe took a picture of dinner tonight. I just topped yesterday’s curried squash with some soy-maple salmon. At first, I was embarrassed that he thought this was picture worthy, and then it occurred to me that if I do not get an internship, I need to take a picture of ALL the food I make so I can convince the head chef at my school that I have 90 hours of extra-curricular cooking under my belt anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"After<\/a>
After Abe chased the kids around for an hour in Maleficent’s head gear (much to everyone’s delight except for Mary, who was scared to death), the kids settled down to a tea party.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"We<\/a>
We spent the last ten minutes watching a movie. The kids were cute all lined up on the couch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
