I'm Not A Regular Mom....Shoulder Shrug

I took the day off work to ride a bus 1.5 hours with 100 screaming First Graders. Down Provo Canyon. Barf. Amy Poehler's got nothing on me.

"It is impossible to avoid pain; you must walk through it or it will wait for you around every corner. And it is impossible to numb pain; you must experience it fully to come cleanly out the other side."

"A woman with a mother heart has a testimony of the restored gospel, and she teaches the principles of the gospel without equivocation. She is keeping sacred covenants made in holy temples. Her talents and skills are shared unselfishly. She gains as much education as her circumstances will allow, improving her mind and spirit with the desire to teach what she learns to the generations who follow her."
