?:?? am
Try to catch some shut eye before waking up to do it all over again
I never imagined when I came to university that a year later I would have 5 daughters and several adopted children as well to support and care for. Thank goodness for granola bars and peanut butter crackers - how else could I keep them quiet during Relief Society?
I love being a mom. It has fulfilled a wonderful place in my heart.
Some of my very favorite days are days like today when I get Ole' Blue (the old mini van/ spaceship) out and take my children to and from soccer games and football try outs. There is nothing more rewarding.
Goodnight, dear void.

Much Ado About Nothing
UVU
What was the artist trying to say?
To me the artist was trying to say that there are crazy things in life and people who we don't always get along with each other but we can still find something meaningful in life. And the people who seem to make us the angriest or the most upset when looked at in a different light can be seen as some of the most wonderful people. I also feel like they were trying to say that even though we don’t always understand why things in life happen the way that they do, they seem to find a way to work themselves out in a way that is better than it would have been had they stuck to the planned course.
How well did the artist say it?
The actors at UVU did a fabulous job at portraying the themes of the play. I thought they really did a wonderful job with the costumes and with the overall feeling of the play. I have been to my share of poor performances in my life, and this was not one of them. I came away very much feeling like they did a great job expressing to the audience the plays views on life and on society. I feel like the director did a great job of focusing on the acting and not getting so caught up in the other parts of the production. It really made a difference to the viewer.
Was it worth saying?
Yes. Yes, it was. These themes are so important to society at large. It is important to realize that even though things go wrong, they will work themselves out. Also, it is important to learn to accept people for who they are. Even if they drive you bonkers, it is important to find a way to accept them and to co-exist. If you can’t do that, you’ll never survive in the real world. I also love the comical parts of this play. It’s important to laugh in life; at yourself and at the irony of life. Sometimes I wonder why my life hasn’t been made into a movie yet because the things that happen to me seem so unreal at times. I backed into my roommate’s car last year a few weeks after moving in. I was so upset. There was a hole in her front bumper and I thought I put it there. I was so distraught about having backed my sister’s car into my roommate’s car because I was late for a meeting that I didn’t take time to laugh at the fact that there is no way my car gentling bumping my roommate’s could have put a giant hole in the front…. But I didn’t laugh. I missed the opportunity to relieve the tension and make the situation better. I wish I would have laughed. These artists taught me once again to take the time to laugh a little when life throws you a curve ball…. Or even when it’s your own arm that throws the curve.
