A good simple day.

Today has been a good day. Holly and I got up, took care of my chillin', and cleaned up in time for my parents to visit. I am thrilled they get to meet Colton and actually get to hold one of my children....as Zoe is very standoffish.
Zoe is sweet to Colton. Yesterday she kept laying her cheek against his head. I can't wait for them to be able to play together.
I am feeling very grateful today. I have a good husband, who is amazingly considerate and serving. My children have a good dada, who loves and plays and watches over them. I have sweet faced darlings and an extended family who've been my friends forever. A good day. A good life.
AND I have found life outside of frontierville. That sounds silly, but it had been a struggle for many months. ....and I haven't hooked onto another addiction.

2 days down for my new fam. And "nothing" accomplished.

Wonderful. And Awkward. I don't quite always know what to do with myself. Sometimes I so want to sit at the computer and mindlessly complete one of my frontierville goals. Sometimes I habitually start walking towards the computer for no reason.
But I am so grateful I was able to resist and sometimes do nothing with my new little family. Doing nothing with my family is so much more important than harvesting virtual crops.

The hospital took these pictures December 29th, just before Colton and I were allowed to go home. Here we are. Mike, I, and the two naughties. :) Or is it the other way around...

A Frontierville-less life...

I just deleted my Frontierville on Facebook. It was consuming me. I justified all the hours I spent on it daily by telling myself (and a few others) that it was a great escape for me....just a stress reducing activity. But I've avoided so many projects that I want to get done, that are within reach of getting accomplished, but had to take care of my Frontier first....for 4 - 5 hours a day...not all at once, but accumulative. Doesn't matter. I could have spent a small part of that time reading to Zoe. Or finishing her room. Or reading my scriptures. Or or or or......

So today I stopped. I didn't even go there. And yes. I did finally get the family room organized. 1 day frontiervilleless. 1 accomplishment down. I like that ratio.
