Sorry I haven't posted forever. I feel like it takes me about a month to get back to a schedule after traveling. Gideon turns 4 months today!! I'm going to try giving him cereal. Tristan just started back at school last week and I was so worried to be a stay-at-home mom for the first time. But I surprisingly got more done than before he was born. I think it is similar to doing a last minute paper. Always turned out better when I was in a time crunch. I am also working on de-stressing. I am such a list person, but I can't prioritize for the life of me. So I got rid of lists. If I think of something that has to be done, I do it right then or forget about it. It seems to be working. I am much nicer to be around. :) Tonight we are having the missionaries over for dinner. I really don't like cooking for others. It always turns out okay, but I hate feeling like I have to make something REALLY good, because when I do (as you all know) something goes wrong and it flops. :) Anyways, in your wards, do you all ALWAYS feed the missionaries? Tristan says they hardly were invited for dinner...this is going to sound so bad, but I seriously think our missionaries are mooches. If they don't get fed, they show up unexpectedly at my friends house for dinner.
On Tuesday I had the WORST day ever! I was in such a bad mood, Gideon was awful...I'm sure we fed off each other. Sometimes I really wish I had family near by or one of you, a really good friend, who could give me a little break so I can get my wits about me and then be a mom again. Anyways, so random..but that's basically what I've been up to.

We aren't allowed to have our missionaries over for dinner, so our ward does sack lunches. You sign up to make them a lunch and they come over and pick it up. I'm usually one of the first people they call at the beginning of the month to sign up. The only strange meal of yours that i remember was the tar chicken and the mac & cheese. If you steer clear of those you should be fine. :-)
Tuesday night I had what I refer to as a "mommy meltdown." After all the kids went to bed, I took a shower and cried. If it makes you feel any better, Gideon is still small enough to not remember what is going on. I had to tell myself that a lot when my kids were little and I was having a hard day.
Hey I've had a couple of those meltdowns already! My mom even told me to go in the shower and cry - she says it's the best therapy. You girls are amazing - I don't know how you do it without family close by. This mom thing sure takes some getting used to doesn't it??
The mission president here has asked us to stop feeding the missionaries. They said something about dinner hours being the most effective tracting time (cause most people are home). I was kindof bummed though, it was an easy way to serve. I usually just did preformed hamburgers and frozen fries though. Or taco salad. Ha. :)
And Squirt, I'm impressed with you waiting til your kids are in bed before breaking down. Sometimes I lock myself in the bathroom and have a good cry. This life we've chosen isn't easy, but the rewards will be awesome.
