Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

I'm Late, I'm Late, I'm Late

The song from Alice and Wonderland comes to mind right now. That's just what life feels like right now. Hopefully I will get all of the pictures I took during the holidays on the blog.

In the meantime...I got some CTR or "Choose The Right" rings for the girls. They loved them. I told them what they meant, the lady at the store told them what they meant, and I reminded them again in the car. I still wasn't sure if it had stuck that it's supposed to remind them to "Choose The Right" and that means to be nice, etc. Then Meredith was being kind of ornery (yes, it happens) and Emily says, "I'm taking my 'CTR' ring off because Meredith is not 'Choosing the Right'." So then of course I try the next 10 minutes to tell her that the ring is supposed to remind HER to "Choose The Right" not anyone else.
