It's
2:00 a.m. I can't sleep. Went to bed at
8:30 p.m. dead tired. Woke up with a
strange dream and can't go back to sleep.
Took Zac to the doctor for a rash on his face. It's just an allergic rash that will
supposedly go away with Benedryl. Looked
at some more brick at Interpace. We like
"Homestead" This house is
costing more and more. I'll be glad when
we finally get going on it. I'm going to
look at carpet today at R.B.J. in Henefer.
I am
going to get back on my diet kick, and start exercising more and eating
less. In fact I think I'll do Jane
Fonda's aerobic video now since I can't sleep.

It's
2:00 p.m. 36 hours since I last
wrote. I feel great!! Went to Stake Conference today. It was good!
The kids were pretty good.
Sometimes I get lonely and wish I could have some help and companionship
at church. But I will go on and never
give up. I'll just keep trying my best
and try to teach my kids the gospel. I
have so much to learn myself. Sometimes
allot of the time I feel so inadequate.
I will never give up. I will go on, my Heavenly Father loves me. I am happy and joyful and content and at
peace. Everything will be okay and alright and
things will work out just the way they should.

I
just got done making cookies for work tomorrow.
It's Kent Porter's last day and we're bringing treats. We went up to Henefer to R.B.J.'s and looked
at carpet tonight. Bid was $2,800. We have almost got all our bids now. I can hardly wait till I write in my journal
that the house is finished!! I am happy. Happier than I have been in years. I was in a good mood tonight. Didn't get mad once. Roger went to bed already. He's beat. I should do my exercises. I don't want to, but I need to get back in
the swing. Joan Adams had a baby girl 6
pounds 12 ounces last night. This makes
1 boy and 3 girls. They have their house
sold they hope. Well I guess I'll read the Doctrine and
Covenants.

I've had a sore throat,
but I've been taking penicillin and I hope it's going away. We found out that Precision Built Homes went
out of business yesterday, so we'll have
to find someone to stick build our
house. Rog is down talking to Gary
Randall now. (He worked for Precision, and we heard that he was going to
continue to stick build homes from Precision's plans) I am happy!! It's so
nice to feel this way and have no shadows, no discomforts in the back of my
mind. I'm tired. I think we'll all go to bed now.

It's
5:20 a.m. I'm tired! I could use 12 hours of sleep a day. I am re-washing dishes in the
dishwasher. I forgot to add soap last
night. Smart huh? Also finishing up wash. Amanda has a birthday party today for one of
her friends. We should be getting our
tests back from Ford Chemical Lab very soon (water tests), then we go for the
loan. Things are hectic, but we'll make
it. Our family is tough! Roger amazes me sometimes. I hate to see him get so depressed about
money. We are paying our tithing now and
things always do seem to work out.
Amanda is reading pretty good in school now and Zac is getting cuter and
talking better everyday. I called Sally
Little last night and she says she would tend Zac and Ladd Peterson and Angie Peterson this fall if they don't
move back to Pocatello. (Ladd and Angie are Kelee and Roger Peterson's
kids. It seems that they have shared the
same baby-sitter with Zac quite a bit) That would be great! Well, I'm gonna close now and say my prayers
before 5:30.

Today
has been a great day!! Tonight was kinda bad for awhile. I did 5 sinks full of dishes. I don't like to
cook supper at all. It's hard to come
home and not know what to fix and ask, "What do you want?" and be told
"I don't care". And then
whatever I do fix, the kids detest. No
wonder I have such a bad attitude about my cooking. Kids went to the dentist today. No cavities.
The dentist says Mandy is very intelligent. Rog took them. I'm gonna do Jane Fonda's aerobic video
starting tonight and every morning. I've
gotta lose 10 pounds.

Easter
Egg hunt today. Zac got 3 numbered
eggs. He gave one to Amanda and one to
Jared. The kids sure have been lucky on
the Easter hunts so far. I cleaned out
the raspberries in dad's garden today, and Roger went horseback riding. The Easter Bunny has left eggs already for
the kids. It's 1:30 a.m. Easter program at church tomorrow. I get to play the piano for the kids to
sing. Zac will be getting a new
babysitter Monday. Sally Little. Amanda is now going to Kendra George's. I need to get a girl for summer. I want to be a good mom and wife. I need to try harder. I will not give up, ever. I will GO GO GO. I am happy. I am okay.
