No, I have not died.
Yes, I could really use another twelve hours in each day.
No, I am not dying of the heat this summer because we finally got an awesome A/C window unit the cools the main floor of the house!
No, the A/C in my car hasn't been fixed yet.
Yes, I am now driving Mark's truck and he is driving the sweltering car.
Yes, I love Mark for trading cars with me.
No, we have not been able to boot-up our family computer since an electrical glitch last week.
Yes, I am thankful to get a turn using Charlotte's laptop.
No, I hardly ever have an answer to the ever-present "What's for dinner tonight?" question.
Yes, I often feel like I'm caught in a wild current, barely able to gasp for air now than then.
Yes, I am already dreading the girls' return to Utah in August.
No, I didn't even get half of my to-do list crossed off today.
Yes, I often wonder if I'll ever blog, scrapbook, or sew regularly again.
Yes, despite it all, I'm still glad to be me.
I wear a size 7 1/2

- I am a mother of four and wife to Mark. Especially lately, I've found myself having to face a wide assortment of responsibilities I hadn’t anticipated—wearing many hats, some might say, but I prefer to think of shoes (hats mess up your hair). Some shoes I wear more than others, and some I wish I never had to wear again. But I confess I enjoy the wide assortment of shoes in my closet and—much to my husband’s dismay—I never tire of getting new ones. With my two oldest off to college and two younger children who still need my time and attention at home, I'm hoping to realize that if I have to wear so many stinking shoes, then at least maybe I can pull it off in style.

I sure am glad that #1 is a "no"!
I'm glad you're you, too and I'm soooo glad you got the AC working!
BTW, I LOVE your new banner!
I'm so happy to see a new post from you! I feared something like this, "Yes, I often feel like I'm caught in a wild current, barely able to gasp for air now than then." was happening.
Your life was already so busy before being called to be RS President! I hope you're delegating lots to your counselors and are finding a bit of time for you every day somewhere in there!
So glad to hear that #1 didn't happen! Boy, you are one busy busy girl!
Did Colorado finally get some warmer weather!?! When we were in Colorado about 3 weeks ago, it rained everyday. I couldn't wait to get home to warmer weather.
I don't think I told you but we plan on moving to Colorado...hopefully next summer. It truly just depends on the CA real estate market. We don't want to give our house away. We looked at different areas and really liked Evergreen. We may be "neighbors" someday!
Hooray for some A/C! And hooray for Mark for switching cars with you! Bummer about your computer... I'm glad you are finding the positives and that you're still glad to be you among the crazy.
Chris said if you want to drop your computer off he will see if he can fix it. I'll try to get ahold of you tomorrow (not sure if you will see these comments)
Yes, it's nice to know you're not dead. No, I'm not out of the current yet. Yes, I have a to do list that never ends. No, I haven't scrapped or sewed (?) in a long time but covering the sofa will necessitate the machine coming out. Yes, I love you and am pleased you have not deceased, especially 'cause I would have missed the services....
Obviously, you haven't found "someone to boss around" yet!
It makes me a bit tired to visualize your life right now, but I'm glad you are still there!
Perhaps I will bump you up on the prayer list order...
I'm glad you still remain, my cutest sister ever. And, the best sister ever.
Computer woes really get me. They are supposed to be smarter than me and always work!
Always miss when you haven't blogged, but hey don't sweat it! And don't sweat the small stuff either. Take a deep breath and let it out, look at the sky and smile and say thanks for another day. God bless ya Denise, Lee
Mark is so sweet to switch cars with you. I'm glad you have your AC fixed in your house. I can't imagine what it would be like without it. I'd think I'd have to live in Target for the summer or something.
I hope your life settles some so you can go back to doing the things that you love a little more regularly.
I wish I could come bring you dinner. Mine is often dumb, but at least you wouldn't have to think about it.
What a funny post...I share many of the same Yes/No's as you!
I loved your labels at the end "brain dump" and "dumb dinner night"
I never put labels at the end of my posts but will rethink it now...
I've been such a lame blogger this summer...I hope to get back into the swing of things once the summer ends...It's just so hard to feel motivated to be on the computer when there is so much to do in the garden....
P.S.--How's your calling?
We had a cute enrichment night recently (it was a depression dinner)--it turned out really well...let me know if you want details... :)
Hang in there!
