Violin Recital

Daylight Savings time is upon us. I changed all the clocks this morning, so the kids could get a heads up on what's coming tomorrow. I really don't know why we still do this to ourselves. Utah almost passed a bill to stop day light saving time. It passed the house but then wasn't presented in the Senate before the legislature session closed, so it's probably dead. I'm bummed about it. It usually takes our household about a week to adjust to the spring time change. Our heads and the clocks trying to tell us "you had 24 hours..." and our bodies and emotions are confused "It doesn't feel like it... it feels like something was missing..." 

I'm giving a talk tomorrow at church, which I haven't finished. I did work on it for over an hour, and made two talks - one was random thoughts and notes about repentance from Pres Nelson's talk, and for the other I was actually cheating and trying to do a redo of a talk I gave in 2018, reading through it and changing a few things to make it fit with D&C 19. I decided it was too risky - I'd feel really stupid if anyone recognized it "Hey... she's done that 'JEWEL' acronym thing before..." Corey said I should be flattered if anyone remembered it from 7 years ago. Corey said he'd write it for me cause he's been having lots of good thoughts, but I don't think he's started and I don't know that he'll get up early enough to do it tomorrow, so I hope I can crank something out in the morning. I have an alarm set for 5:30. 

Tonight was busy with a violin recital - Natalie playing. 

The boys were outside playing on the playground in the dark with Katharine, Corey's car lights shining on it so they could see. I texted them to hurry in when it was Natalie's turn, which they did (a little too slow and they missed the start of it) and then they went back outside. That is well enough, cause there ere 20 kids playing, which is a lot for my kids to handle. Then they came back inside cause it was cold and dark. 

I was multitasking a little bit too - listening to podcast trying to find things for my talk. We made Owen come, he wanted to hang out with friends. The other kids, including Abi, wanted to come for the refreshments. Hang in there, it's almost over. Let the students bow...

Ok, now you can go. Katharine happy with her cupcake.

She licked the frosting off of 3. Abi took Lily to a friends house before she came, and then after the recital was done, Corey and I took off to go climbing and she took the kids home. We each did 8 top rope, but had to hustle cause we only had 90 minutes. It usually takes us 2 hours to do 8. Then we were going to pick up Lily but she said she'd get a ride home with a neighbor. And now I should go to bed so I can wake up and have something to work with of my brain as I pray for inspiration.
