yesterday ... despite offers to "hang out" with bethany, i heard nary a word. this, however was not surprising and so i instigated a hanging out. i was in a toenail painting mood and beth felt like it was something that she could indulge in, so she came over. we went to mtm to rent a movie for the night. it took us an unbelievably long time to decide. we finally decided on breakfast at tiffany's (a movie that i'd never seen--at least not all the way through). than we had to wait while michealah, madelaine and natalie tried to agree on a movie. no progress was made until i decided to decide for them. then suddenly the movie michealah had picked was very appealing to madelaine. i had left a message on amy's cell, but in typical amy fashion, she had "other plans." (it took sarah and me some time to get amy used to the idea that every tuesday is sister movie night.) so the only way we could accommodate her was to let her invite adrian and sean. to amy's great joy, (sorry amy, but bethany did say you sounded very excited) we reluctantly agreed and poor sean and adrian had to come over to my house and watch breakfast at tiffany's. i think it must be only single guys who get themselves roped into watching chickflicks. bethany and i levied a charge: the boys must bring treats. well they came bearing many such treats. after the movie beth gave sean a massage and showed me how to give her one. but since the boys were there, i couldn't really give her one anyhow. amy was supposed to watch and learn too, but she was busy chatting on msn. see what i mean? sean was a little uncomfortable about taking his shirt off so amy reassured him by telling him that at school beth does butt massages as well. i was sean's seminary teacher--and adrian's for a little while. i'm sure that at the time they never thought they'd come hang out at my house and watch an old movie. i miss brent. i was a crabby mommy this morning. i took madelaine home after lunch because i was tired of the fighting and the fake laughing that they do when they are together. it was really getting on my nerves. while nat had her nap i read my scriptures and then read with michealah. it is amazing to me how that can restore me and make the grumpies go away. later i played dollhouse with the girls. i was the grandma. i made the grandma dance to nat's piano. nat made all the other people say the dancing was weird and not very pretty, so then i made the grandma be really mean to them. the grandma kept kicking the baby off the hope chest. nat kept trying to tell me that the grandma wasn't mean, but that just made me laugh and do it again. haha. i was so busy playing with the girls that i forgot all about the 20 pounds of potatoes that i was supposed to peel, cook, mash and deliver to the church by 5:30. i remembered at 5:05. i don't think i've ever peeled potatoes so fast. i felt really bad. i hate letting people down. i've had it happen enough to me in church responsibilites. so i got them there by 5:55. the girls are now bathed and in bed. i love it when they are fresh and clean and all ready for sunday on saturday night. we called brent. he has sore feet. nat kissed the phone. i have affectionate girls.
