How about a little jalapeno in your eye

Yesterday for dinner I made some yummy chicken with mango salsa. It was delicious. But...I did a stupid thing...I tried to yank the seeds out with my fingers instead of slicing it open and cutting away the seeds. I wasn't thinking, I was cutting it like it was a green pepper. Well, about an hour later, my three fingers started burning, they actually kind of hurt. They smelled like jalapeno too. So, this morning I go to put in my contacts, and OH MY GOSH, even after washing my hands like a mad woman, that juice is still on there enough to burn the crap out of my eyes. Learn from me people and be smarter with your jalapenos!

I'll admit, I was a few minutes late for church yesterday. The kids and I were walking in right as the bishopric member was announcing the open prayer. Lucky me. The "spirit" prompted him and he asked ME from across the pulpit... while I was walking in dragging 4 kids. (Scott was already sitting on the pew, he had meetings earlier.) I don't know about you, but the last half hour or so before church are a little crazy around here, and it usually takes me a few minutes to calm down and feel the spirit. I sat down, handed the baby over and started praying. If I wasn't feeling the spirit a minute before, I sure wasn't feeling it then. You should have seen the look I shot that man!! But it all turned out all right, I did a fine job and I even enjoyed the meeting. See what the spirit can do! Not a huge fan of being asked to say the opening prayer as I walk into the meeting though!!!

Sometimes we just don't get it as parents,you know?? I was in the primary room yesterday, and this Dad was yelling at his little boy for touching his sister. The Dad WAS talking and the little sister was annoyed with the little boy, but I watched it, and the little boy wasn't being mean, he was actually trying to help his baby sister. This other lady and I looked at each other and I said "sometimes we just miss it don't we?" Why is it we can see "it" for other people, but we miss "it" in our own lives. Oh...help me be more patient with my kids, not get annoyed when they bug Hope for the millionth time and make her fuss. They aren't being mean (maybe super annoying to me but...)they are just trying to say "I love you"

Well, it's 10:15 and I'm still sitting around in my garments. I'll try and put my contacts in again so I can see. I already decided it's an at home day. BTW, I have been up with Hope since 6. I'm just having a lazy morning. I'm NOT going to feel rushed this morning, I'm taking MY TIME.

Here is the new dress I bought for my sister-in-laws wedding. Doesn't that look comfy. I was walking by Banana Republic on Friday and saw it hanging in the window. I went it and bought it off the rack, without even trying it on. I like the shoes too. Those I'll have to try on though. :)
