Happy Mother's Day.
The speakers in Church today were amazing. I felt the spirit very strongly, and despite being extremely tired from last night I would go so far as to say that this was the best Mother's Day Sacrament Meeting I have ever been to. I do like being able to have a chance weekly to take the sacrament and renew my covenants. Especially on weeks like this, it is very refreshing to feel the Savior's love.
On a more negative note
*sigh* It has been such a long weekend to such a long week and I am very grateful that it is over.
"The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall." (Nehemiah 4:10)
Anyway. Last night I got home late from babysitting, but earlier than expected because of the storm/tornado watch. Just as I was struggling to relax amounst all of the burdens of the week, the rain began to come down harder. The wind picked up. I enjoyed the beautiful display of lightning that expressed my feelings for the previous days. And then the gutter filled up past its capacity. And then there was a waterfall, loud and forcefull, outside of my window. The water was falling over the gutter and crashing down on the roof just a few feet from where I lay in bed. I hate that sound. It began to esculate, and I knew what would happen next based on my luck this week.
The distant fall of water turned into a not so distant trickle. As I called for my dad, the water began to pour into my room. Water everywhere. *sigh* Someone had opened my storm window some how, and the water was able to get in. We closed it admist the pelting rain and wind, and then attempted to return to bed.
I wonder who in the world opened it. It's kind of creepy, a few days ago I was talking on the phone in my room when I swear I suddenly became not so alone. Someone was in the room, I felt them come, and leave. A similar occurance happened a night or two later. Hmmm. Maybe somebody snuck into my room, leaving the outer window open . . . SNARL. That's it . . . wow I need to simmer down and chill out. Alright. I'm going to go give my mom a big hug since it's Mother's Day. Goodbye.
P.S. Trying to decide what I think about this quote:
"The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy."
-Jim Rohn

wow.. you know I generally don't conceed that luck exists, and I still don't know that I do, but i have to admit that if luck does exist, you don't have it
The best part about the end of a weekend is that it's really the beginning of a new week, so don't worry, last week is over and now you can just move on 
As for that quote, i've heard it before but in several different forms... one time i heard it was when this really cool guy said "i know nothing good comes without sacrifice"...a little different i know, but generally the same idea. Anyway, I think you already know what i think about that one... I hope next week and weekend are better...
Sounds kinda like my weekend. Pshhh. I had such a bad weekend. I could write it all in my blog, but Emily wants me to tone down on negative stuff. Trouble is, when I tone down on negative stuff I find myself in tears all the time, or struggling not to cry, and yet I can't find a reason. And I can't find anything at all to say. I can't even feel the Spirit much anymore. Argh. I think I'll go cry again.
So that's how I feel about that quote. I can't find anything to express myself when I don't allow myself to express myself negatively. In other words, as to what I think about the quote...I'm living it.
Sorry to hear about the teacher thing(yeah, I'm writing about your prev. blog...) when I was LDS, I just walked out of the classroom and sat outside the door. I made one substitute very angry by doing that. Don't let people in 'authority' take advantage of you.
