Rain, sick kids and body aches make for a very LONG day!!

Dear Readers,
Still dealing with a very sick little girl. Marie has just been miserable. I feel so badly. As a mother you just want to take the sickness away. However, there is an upside when the girls are sick...they are quiet! I always know that one of them is about to get sick when they start laying on the couch and actually watching a whole program on t.V.

I myself am starting to feel those little signs of a sickness coming on. I had very little patience today and found myself doing a lot of "yoga" breathing today to calm myself down. It's just not right to lose your temper with a sick child!

Enjoyed the thunder and lightening we had this afternoon! I just can't get enough!

Your eggs are 90% gone by the age of 30!!!

Dear Readers,

So the newest study out on women's biological clock is that by the age of thirty, 90% of a woman's eggs are gone!! WOW!!! But there is no need to panic girls. You still have 10% percent to work with...and really it only takes one egg at a time. Now if you were thinking about being like the woman who has 19 children...maybe there should be some concern but for the rest of us I think this study is just another waste of energy.

I don't think this study is going to make anyone run out and get pregnant however, it may put having children more in the forefront for some. But lets face it, if you are an L.D.S woman like I am, we usually don't wait to have babies. (sometimes the Lord makes us wait) but majority of L.D.S women seem to be doing just fine past the age of thirty!!!

We make that ten percent work for us!!!
