Day 86-89 Bunny duty!

Hello all!  No I didn't forget to blog....I just didn't have access to my computer much this past weekend and I have been on bunny duty almost every night!  What a week it has been!  I am so thankful today is Sunday so I can begin a new, hopefully MUCH less crazy week!

Ok so on Thursday Connor and I spent the day together because it is the one day a week he does not have school.  It was nice having just the two of us together and we went to McDonalds for lunch and he got to play and we snuggled at home for most of the day.  During the day, we found a baby bunny in the backyard that Ginger had played with.  So it had passed away.  Later on that evening, I was watering the grass in the backyard when something started squealing at me!  Our gardener had been there earlier in the day and had mowed the lawn.  There was a baby bunny...ALIVE and really mad!  So we read up on what to do and just left it in the backyard.

Friday, the mommy bunny did not return and so we started feeding the bunny and put it in a box to keep warm.  It poured rain like crazy Friday evening, but the bunny was safe and warm in our garage!  Connor and Joel both had school on Friday and I had the day to myself to catch up on laundry and I took a nap that morning.  My RA has really been doing a number on me lately, but I have been able to take it slow and take care of myself while the kids are gone so I can take care of them while they are home.

I can't remember what day it was...it was either Thurs or Friday...I was having a very overwhelming day.  There has been a lot going on emotionally lately and there are only so many hours in the day to deal with them.  I went outside to get the mail to take a break from the boys and at the mail box I offered up a prayer for help.  I asked the Lord to have the mommy bunny return (so it must have been Thursday) and I asked for him to send me some happy moments.  I asked for him to send me someone to just help me make it through the rest of the evening.  Well, as I finished my prayer, I felt peaceful and I was happy to know that God loves me.  I was about to head back in the house when someone drove up and honked the horn at me.  It scared me! LOL It was my neighbors from around the corner and they were headed out to get some ice cream and wanted to know if I would like to tag along.  So not 30 seconds after finishing my prayer asking for someone or a happy moment, the Lord answered me.  It doesn't always happen like that, but I am thankful for that precious moment and the fun time I had driving out and eating ice cream with my neighbors!  I felt very blessed!

Yesterday was Saturday and both boys had soccer games.  Both of them did such an amazing job and my greatest happy moments of the day was watching them find the joy as they played and ran.  We had dinner at one of my favorite Italian restaurants after Joel's soccer game, so it was a good day of being together as a family!  Last night David and I watched a movie for the first time in our movie theater room!  We watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.   It was so nice to be able to snuggle and be in a movie theater environment in our own home!

Today was Sunday and a day of church, naps, breakfast for dinner, Skyping with my parents, and feeling very grateful.  We have such a wonderful Ward and I am so thankful for knowing SO many people!  I can't tell you how many hugs were given today or how many wonderful conversations I had with people.  I am just so very happy and grateful for being in a ward FULL of wonderful, NICE, people!

Well, it is time to get my kiddos into bed, feed the bunny, and get my precious little kid's lunches ready for tomorrow.  I hope all of you had a blessed weekend and I am so grateful I have the opportunity to write down my happy moments and be grateful for where I am and what I have!
