No change in circumstances can repair a defect in character!
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Character is not made in a crisis it is only exhibited.
~Robert Freeman~

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try and be in the first group; there was less competition there. ~Indira Gandhi~

Sluffing ???

Disclaimer: ( Gentri would like all who view this to know that she was in the process of straightening her hair and was just taking a break - hence the weird hairdo.)


The Thursday before Valentines Day was deemed an official sluff day for our family. Between all of our hectic schedules, it was the only available day we could attend the Draper Temple open house together. Also, finished valentines were needed on Friday and they were not even in the start phase yet! So after thinking it over, I decided to let the kids stay home from school. (Except Kolby it was his preschool Valentine party and he couldn't miss that!) We worked on Valentines and hung out in our pajamas all morning. Then later that afternoon we went to the open house together as a family.
4 Unexcused absences didn't keep us from having a great day!

Years have gone by,

Oh Happy Day, The Cord Has Been Found!

I delved into the Pit of Despair and came out alive, but cordless! So after sending the children on a mission of their own, the cord has been retrieved from the playroom downstairs. Who'd have thought, don't ask me how it ended up down there. I'm sure it had a good time being a dog leash, or a Indiana Jones whip, or whatever imaginative thing the children thought up for it. Either way I'm just glad to have it back, now on to blogging!
