The Illustrated Book of Mormon

Growing up we had the set of The Illustrated Book of Mormon and I have always wanted a set for my kids. A few years ago I looked into buying a set but never did it. Then while I was at Time Out for Women this weekend these books were mentioned again. Sunday I got on ebay to look at them again but still decided not to buy them. So today after getting home from errands I sat down to check my e-mail and there was just junk mail...but I hit the refresh button for some reason and there was a new e-mail from a woman in our ward saying that she had this set and that she wanted to pass it along to someone who wanted them...I called immediately and got in my car and drove straight over....I can not contain my excitement!!! I can't wait to sit down with my kids and start looking and reading!!! Thanks Sister Monk!!!

Irritations and Frustrations...

I really hate when I walk into a store at 10PM and there are kids screaming...I was at Wal-mart tonight at 10:15PM and there were at least 7 kids that I could count in the store. What is up with that? Of course several of them where screaming and/or crying, gee what could the matter be, perhaps they are TTTIIIRRRRREEEEDDDDDDD!?!?!?! Maybe it is just me but my kids are in bed and asleep by 8:30 if not sooner. They need their sleep and I need my downtime too. I keep telling Justin, when they start not being able to fall asleep when I get them in bed we will rethink the time, until then they are tired and they go to bed. They are little and need the rest, I always feel so sorry for the ones up so late.

Another thing I don't like is when TV shows you follow don't turn out the way you want. One I have been following had a bizarre ending tonight and I was really frustrated that I have been watching and waiting and then bam...not what I thought. What a bummer!

The last thing that I wanted to blog about is the problem with hard water we have in our area. About a month ago I told Justin that with some of our tax refund money I wanted to get new toilet because they were so disgusting from the hard water stains. I tried several things from he store with not much in the way of results. I even took a knife and tried to scrape off the stains only to just leave scratches in the bowl. I decided on last time to search the Internet for help...and I found it...at Dollar Tree. It is called "The Works" and it is a miracle. I was sceptical at first so I only bought one bottle but the minute you pour it in the stains just run down the bowl. I even left it in the bottom for a few minutes and a miracle occurred. No more stains, not a one. I also discovered some new kind of toilet seats that come on and off with the turn of a dial so you can clean them better and easier (this is a plus with two small boys in the house). So now I have shiny, sparkly toilets that look brand new! I am happy!

I guess that is it for now...
