productivity


the blessings of hosting Relief Society at your house (besides all those intrinsic spiritual blessings, of course): increased domestic productivity.
  • fresh bed linens
  • finished laundry
  • paint touch ups (B took care of it without being asked)
  • artwork hung--artwork that's been awaiting display for months and months
  • kitchen gleaming
  • family room  just so
  • take-out pizza for dinner + paper plates=no dishes!
  • sweet treats for sharing (leftovers for maybe not sharing)
  • vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, polishing, scrubbing
  • plus story time, play time, lunch time, snuggle time, bath time with the little one. 
  • sweet neighbors that bring big fat slices of asphalt pie when it's all over:
And today, I'm tired.  And I had a diet coke. And I'm thankful that I probably will never be asked to teach enrichment. ever. again.

I'm sure it was awesome, as is everything you do.

I heard your enrichment activity was fantastic and can I just say how much I appreciate your willingness to do it - and at your house no less! Having Relief Society at your house rather than at the church garners an extra measure of special blessings. I'm sorry I missed it - I had to do board meeting duty since the Chief Nursing Officer was out of town. And, by the way, I wouldn't count on not being asked again. We know a good thing when we see it!! (Although we may let you have a baby first before we start banging on the door...) =)
