Notes to Self

- Should you continue to bear children, remember next time to drink LOTS of water and lay on your side when necessary to avoid early contractions.  37 weeks is longer than you're used to, but its WAY better than bed rest and preemies (at least so far).

- Read your scriptures.  I don't know why you don't do this more regularly.  You've been spending a good portion of your evenings readings scriptures lately, thanks to the Bishop's challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 60 Days.  As a result, you have gone to bed every night feeling happier, more at peace, and filled with accomplishment and joy.

- You and Aaron are doing quite well as husband and wife.  As with any marriage though, things get rocky from time to time.  When this happens, listen to the CD that you made for your wedding guests.  Every time you listen to it, it takes you back to those precious moments (that we all tend to forget) of new love.  It lightens your heart and reminds you of how good you really have it!

- You have great potential!  Allow yourself to succeed!  Try to avoid the urge to give in to laziness and self-centered actions.

- You have amazing daughters!  Try to work on being slower to anger with them.  You have been over-reacting over things that really don't matter at all.  Going off the handle on such things doesn't create a loving environment.  Plus, showing frustration or disappointment on things that REALLY do matter in your kids' lives will lose its effect if you respond in that same matter with all things.

- Don't forget to pick up band-aids at the store.  You have a cut on your finger in a place that keeps getting aggravated.  A band-aid would really help.
