Sunday Blues

I was looking forward to Conference all week end but I have ping ponged back and forth as I listened to the various talks... at times feeling guilty for my faults and weaknesses wishing I was a better mother and falling short each day. And at other times feeling inspired as just the right thing was said to give me hope. Like Carin, I loved President Monson's quote "your future is as bright as your faith." I also loved the talks by Elder Bednar and Elder Uchtdorf because they always seem to say things that speak to my heart. I look forward to rereading their talks again.

I suppose my melancholy feelings this weekend were intensified by the inevitable departure this afternoon as Brett left again to go out of town for work. He was home for 2 1/2 days and left probably for another 4 1/2. He was so awesome to take the boys to the movies on Friday night while I took time to myself to recoup on the couch at home. I intended to do something fun for myself but was too dang tired to move. I guess home renovations and 4 boys back on track with hubby out of town takes it out of a person.

Needless to say, all the boys pray for Brett in every prayer they say that he will come home safe. We miss him so much the second he leaves until he returns. So I'm posting a couple of the goodbye hugs he received today as Brett checks my blog so he will remember that his boys love and miss him. oh and Brett... I love you the most!!!
