Hell no! When they told me I was going to have to go to the "other" ward. You see, we have not been going to the right ward, well since we moved into this house. Remember, we were going to buy another house, we waited and waited...but then didn't buy that house, in "that" ward. But we had already started, and the other ward was so big a) they filled the chapel + the whole gym, b) they had to set up 2 sacrament tables to be sure everybody got the sacrament (they had like 20 deacons passing the sacrament!!) c) yesterday during the testimony meeting, a man bore his testimony and started it out by saying he didn't even know who the new bishop was-he had seen him before but didn't know his name!! Hello that was one big ward, so our bishop just said, hang out here until they split the "other" ward. We were hoping the boundaries would be re-worked in our favor and we would go to our ward...for real. But alas, it didn't work, and yesterday was our first day in the new ward.
The new ward...is fine, they are nice (all except the man that prayed and said he was thankful we live in a country that there are no secret police out watching us-seriously he said that.) The people are very nice, I'm just tired. I was getting so comfortable in my new-old ward. I knew the people, I knew the freaks, I knew some background stories. Starting fresh all over again. I don't feel like being all out going and friendly, again. My new-old ward was feeling like home. It takes about six months and I had been there over six months!! Dang. Do I have a bad attitude or what??? **sigh**
On a happier note, my parents were out this past weekend for a little fun. They got to see everyone at their best...and worst. Like always, right? Last night, Scott had put Hope to bed and then ran downstairs to play some game with Hunter. The other two kids were sent up to shower/bathe/get ready for bed. Well, Hope just knew she was missing something, so she got herself up. All, of a sudden Hayden and Hannah are screaming for me...or for Grandma, or for Grandpa-SOMEONE to come up. Hope had gotten the toilet brush out, put it in the tub water, and then put it in her mouth! Yes, you read that right. Here is my question, I've got some kids that know how to tattle, WHY did it take them so long to tell me a) Hope was EVEN up and b) she was up to NO good? I do not understand all that, or WHY she would do that in the first place. Hope got scrubbed down, a new toothbrush, clean PJ's and a stern talking to and was put right to bed, where she did NOT budge.
But I did get a new crepe maker. And we had some tasty ones last night for dinner. Yes, they should have been a dessert, maybe...but I also made that pumpkin gooey cake the day before and we had to prioritize...you know fit it all in. I did buy my Dad brussel sprouts (special for him- I was going to make chicken parmesan last night) but again we had to prioritize the good stuff. Anyway, we had all that crepe goodness, and brussel sprouts and carrot sticks for dessert. I'm good like that.

I so feel your pain! When we lived in Sherwood, we were in 3 different wards in 5 and a half years and we never moved once. It was exhausting being all extra social and nice every year and a half.
I loved that story about Hope. It's so true about the tattlers who don't work when you need them.
You could just go to 2 wards like me & Juli did. . . :)
Yeah, that worked as a teenager but I don't think I could handle that now. It's no fun to try to start all over again so soon after having already started over again.
Sorry about the new ward. That stinks. Maybe you have someone that you will meet there that a year from now, you just couldn't imagine life without. No, I don't mean a man! But you know how we are as friends...we know our anniversaries and all. I remember meeting you at the gym...and unloading about my cat...you must have thought I was kooky...and wanting to be in your book club...
My point - there might be a FRIEND with a capital F waiting for you there!
This sounds so girl crushy...its not, and you know me. I just worry about all the other people who read this blog. Whew, they must think I'm weeeeeiiiiirrrrd!
whoa. i'm a little creeped out by jennifer right now. KIDDING.
i can't believe they didn't stop her! gross hopers!!! i'm glad she didn't budge the 2nd time!
ward stuff sucks - new changes, i mean.
I hear you on the ward! Why are there ginormous wards outside of Utah. My ward is SO small. And by small I mean we never have to worry about getting a seat - and if there are 30 women in RS we consider it HUGE.
And I think I gained weight hearing about your dinner.
