One too many places to be!



This was one of those weekends where you had multiple places to be all at one time but there is still just one me to do it all. Lynn had plans months ago to be with his brothers, they were going hunting and then a change of plans had them doing numerous things together for the week and weekend so I knew he was going to be gone doing stuff with "The Bro's". So I was on my own to think about how I would swing the numerous plans for the weekend. So I was scheduled to work Saturday, Jordyn was performing at the U of U football game at noon, and my brother and his wife were being sealed in the temple around noon as well. I called in sick for work, had to eliminate that one, tried telling Jordyn that I had to be with Jim and Meliss on their special day, but Jordyn was so nervous about performing in front of a huge crowd like that she was afraid of having a panic attack, "I need you there mom!, you signed me up!". Melissa's sister is on Crimson Line and they were doing a fundraisor deal for Crimson Line and asked if Jo would come dance, so I thought fun, she would love that. Well after finding out it was the same weekend as the sealing, I thought oh crap! I really thought Jo would be ok, but I did sign her up, and I did have to support her. So as bummed as I was about not being with Jim and Meliss, they were in my thoughts the whole time. I wish the game would have been later, I wish Jordyn did not inherit my nice anxiety problems. I wish I could have fulfilled everything this weekend and not having to feel guilt. But Jordyn did an amazing job, and I am proud of her. No panic attacks either, she would have been fine. Oh well, still one me and 5 places to be. Gotta pick one sometimes!

Dinner and Movie night w/the girls

So Anna, Wendy and I decided to go have a well needed girls night out. We went to Outback Steakhouse(which was not the best.. What happened to my Outback?) and then to a movie. We wanted to see "The Women" but it had already left the theaters. We were bummed about that so we decided to see a movie that had Brad Pitt and George Clooney, called "Burn after reading this". How can you go wrong there right? WRONG! We got there about 15 minutes late, and were at a complete loss the whole show. Im still not sure if it was supposed to be a comedy or a serious show. And Brad Pitt played a nerdy guy, and he is not so hot when he is a nerd, and George wore his pants up to his chest with a belt and played a not so hot cheater on his wife. We left thinking, "What the hell was that?"!!!! But still entertaining, and a fun night with the girls!

Catching up!


Goodness, I have a hard time with keeping up on blogs, face book, my space yada yada yada. Sorry to the 2 people who have realized I have not updated! Jen and Mind you are great supporters! =) Really, life is just busy in the Dickey household. Lynn is working and watching football, Jordyn is busy with school and dancing 3X a week for 4 hours each time, so she is never home, and Ky is in pre school 3 days a week and home being his busy self on the other days. So when I am not driving Jordyn back and forth to school and dance, and Ky to school and back, and working in addition, I am trying to get my gym work out in, and clean my house. I am not complaining, just feel like I live in my car- realizing and wishing that Jordyn danced closer and Kylan's school was closer. Ok what is with all the complaining? I hate fall and cold weather!! I am in my slump... I am such a warm, summer person that when this change in weather comes I am so down. I hate it! I hit the tanning beds whenever I have time and try and get the "feel" there, but its just not the same. I just look forward to the holidays to keep me busier, and then what do you know, January, the new year! And then, Spring and Summer are right around the corner. YAY!! I guess I need a VaCa to Cali, and quick!
