Paisley’s spelling

3/10/21

I know Paisley struggles with spelling but she’s only in 2nd grade so I don’t expect it to be too great. But tonight we had some friends over and she got upset and went and wrote in her diary to help her process the emotions. I came across it and took a look at what she wrote and I can only make out parts of it because I know the context (Her friend was giving them scores as they did gymnastics moves) But lots of it is gibberish to me. This is the first time I’ve been able to see what her true writing is. The only time she writes is for school and she’s always asking how to spell or looking around to copy the words. This was TOTALLY me as a young girl through high school! It wasn’t until middle of college that everything just started clicking and getting easier and I still heavily rely on auto correct or spell check. So maybe I should be getting her help? Here’s a Picture of her writing 



“Hey diary, I have my friends over ____ we’re playing gymnastics. I’m the best but my sister is winning but I’m a master. so my BFF was going to prank me with a toy snake Now they’re going____ ____ ____ then we ___ ____ but it was boring at school ____ ____ ____  going to prank my sister see you _____ tomorrow my friend ___ recess ____

Polly Pocket Birthday Party

Polly Pocket is quickly gaining in popularity. My girls aren't exempt from the craze, they're obsessed! Thanks to the Netflix Polly Pocket series and Mattel's fantastic YouTube Polly Pocket channel (seriously it's actually fun and bearable to watch) they want to collect them all. One daughter, after talking about a Frozen 2 birthday party for a year, wanted to have a Polly Pocket Birthday Party 🤦‍♀️. Ok! Fine, I'll change tracks and plan a Polly Pocket Party. Nevermind that months ago I bought frozen 2 party favors, cause Dollar Tree had tons of stuff 🤣. Here's the problem though... There's NO Polly Pocket merchandise- anywhere!! The only thing you can find anywhere online are the actual polly pocket toys and ONE Etsy account that will sell you a digital file for a party invitation, cupcake toppers and a “Happy Birthday” sign. That’s it! What did you just say?.. “maybe you didn’t look that hard”. No. Girl let me tell you- Google, Party City, Amazon, Walmar

Gratitude

 Gratitude Kris and I recently watched “The Promise” about the Armenian geniside. I do’nt know how I’ve lived my hwhole life and this was the first time I’ve learned about it. I have several friends who service LDS misssions in Armenia and I’ve heard them mention the geniside but that’s all I knew, that there was one. Watching this movie was awaking. I found myself recgonizing my blessings and truly feeling blessed for having them. There is a meme on social media, the picture is a light switch, a sink, a thermostat and refreidgerator- all have a Christmas bow on them. The caption reads, “presents when you’re trying to get out of debt”. These things really are amazing gifts, even luxuries. To have electricity, running watch, Heating/cooling, food, indoor plumbing- things that we take for granted because it’s become a basic staple to our way of life. And while I “know” that these are things I should be grateful for I was having a hard time actually generating that emotion. I guess I view

In 2018 my Mother-in-law’s cancer was back and she was going through treatments again. Though she lived in Denver she would frequently travel to Houston, where we lived, for treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center. It was a blessing to be able to see her so much and spend that time with her though it was a bittersweet circumstance. Pancreatic cancer is painful. The treatment is aggressive and even while in remission she suffered daily with terrible pain. She was so strong putting up with it for 5 years. Paisley was just 10 months old in the summer of 2013 when they first discovered the cancer. Bill and Carol were living abroad in Antofagasta Chile. Carol came home for a health check and then was going to travel to Spokane,
