just got home from the movies. leesh, heather and i went to see the secret life of bees. it was as good as i knew it was going to be and i cried a lot. i cried the ugly cry which was ok because it was dark. i'm still filled up with the emotions. the feeling of tears is still on and around my eyes. sigh. what a good movie.

this morning i dreamed about the primary presentation and how i was trying to get to the practice but i was having trouble putting archie and izzy in their car seats (real baby car seats) and izzy didn't have her collar on and things kept happening.

then i woke up and got ready and went to the real primary presentation practice but left the cats at home. the girls were all excited. catie kept begging me to go up with her when she gave her talk. the spannish kids were rowdy. edith, the mom of one of my girls and a teacher of the five and sixes said to me at the end "sometimes you wonder how it's going to come off, but it always seems to work." i muttered something about miracles and she agreed.

i gave the kitchen a good scrubbing. washed a mountain of dishes. you know i like to pile the dishes high and then leave it a while. not to say "hey look i did the dishes", but more as a monument of accomplishment to myself. anyways i scrubbed the cupboards and the floor and the stove and even washed all the crumbs out of the silverware drawer.

i started on my bedroom but didn't finish. at least i got all my clothes away just before laundry day comes again. i'm a scrape in by the seat of your pants type of girl.

last night elicia and i went to chapters to hang out. i'm looking for a knitting project so i went to the knitting shelves and spent most of my time there going through all the books and organizing them while i was at it because those shelves were a mess. i didn't really find anything that captured my imagination. we left when the store closed at ten and at elicia's suggestion we went and got a bubble tea at the dragon house. 'pinacolnada' was the flavour we both got. the pearl were really fresh, soft and sweet.

i've been thinking about what it means to keep your eye single to the glory of god.
