About Karlton

I have just added info about Karlton from Plaxo. Now I use it more than he does but if any of you have a Plaxo account then you can get in touch with Karlton or me.

Mother's Day

Ah, Mother's Day. That day you think you will have perfect children who will show their appreciation for all you do by being their best selves especially at church. Let's just say that two years in a row now I have been seriously close to giving my children to a mother who could seriously do a much better job than me with them. Granted they were all wonderful angels before we got to church. The girls had done wonderful art projects at school for me, Alexis made me breakfast, and Thaddeus and Nicholas gave me great big hugs. Sacrament meeting started out ok. Rebekah was very vocal that she wanted to sleep during the passing of the sacrament. I took care of that by sitting next to her and explaining she needs to go to bed earlier on Saturday because she wakes up sooooo early (5am) in the mornings no matter when she goes to bed. Thaddeus was wonderful and helped out with Nicholas. I was smiling and then the kids went to Primary. I go to Sunday School and not 2 minutes later the Primary President brings me my darling Nicholas. He had been hitting. Some how I need to find him something to hit other than his parents, siblings, other kids. I have a little discussion with him about hitting, sit with him for a little bit, and then go back to class. Again, he comes back to me because he is hitting. I lose it and one wonderful sister comes to my rescue and tells me things will get better. It better or I may consider a change in employment. My hope is that next Mother's day I will not be in tears.

Karlton has totally made up for Sunday. I got a laptop and dinner and a movie. Star Trek is phenomenal! Quiznos is great too. I got Karlton a new stereo receiver and invested in fixing our PS3 and XBox 360 for Father's Day and Birthday since both fall in the month of June. We both got a new router/modem for our internet because ours died randomly yesterday. Boy did Best Buy get some money from us. Ok we are a family that likes our electronics.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful Mother's Day and a great week. Love, Leah
