I know there are probably gazillions of people dying to know what the "right" answer really is (ha ha). So here it goes:
A-While going on strike sure seems tempting sometimes, it's a little ridiculous. Who would I being striking to, or what for? I LOVE being a full time wife and mom 98.5% of the time, so this is not the answer.
B- While I am training for this specific adventure race right now, it really hasn't eaten up that much of my time or energy. The race is Saturday and should be loads of fun. I'm on a team with two other young moms from my ward. Between the 3 of us we have 9 kids! We get to leave tomorrow and camp out in the forest and then the race is 8am-2pm on Saturday. Our awesome husbands get to come cheer us on and be SuperDads while we are laughing our heads off lost in the forest somewhere!
C- Yes, this semester is really tough on us, but surprisingly we are handling it ok. The kids have gotten used to a LOT more mom, with very few Dad times. We definitely appreciate each other more and I am so grateful for Mark and his willingness to trudge through school! I know he appreciates me, because he tells me so much.
D- Ding, Ding, Ding! We are expanding our family once again. (While it may seem like to some of you that we are on quite a regimented schedule for the distances our children are apart, we're not.) We are thrilled and eager to see what life will be like with 5 Little Green Beans running around. I'm 12 weeks along right now and am due the middle of April. So, we'll keep you posted on how things are going, and sooner or later, we'll know if Walker gets a brother or if we're packin' another one in the pink room! Either way, life's awesome.
