Trials and Tribulations

This is basically why I haven't posted in the last month. I've been SUPER preoccupied trying to put out fires


Replaced all 4 tires on Fusion
Josiah's diet - NO dairy. Not even cooked into other foods. This is crazy:

Labor day weekend in Phoenix
Transmission broke on the Expedition
Back Windshield on Fusion had a rock thrown through it and had to be replaced

October
Colds for me Josiah and Bekah
grill cracked on expedition from random object flying over fence while we're driving
Skunk in the backyard
Back screen door broken from Rebekah literally running into it
bedroom door locking Josiah by himself - and me without a skeleton key
General Conference
Broken computerS (yeah, that's plural)
My birthday - new calling (can't say until I'm sustained next week)
Rebekah's burned her butt by sitting on a slide in the middle of the day
Plumbing Strike 3
Woodbadge part 2, trip to Phoenix, fix breaks on Fusion



I want to write about a lot of this in more detail, and may or may not get to that, but I do want to say that there were some good things in all of that - like General Conference and my birthday! Also, I made some great progress with Daryn's family history and that is always super exciting. Ooo I even discovered a transcription error in the Washinton State Digital Archive and pointed it out to them, and they thanked me for pointing it out and fixed it. Now anyone else looking for those documents will find what they need much faster. :) It made me feel significant, which is something I've actually struggled with lately, so Yay! :)

Annnnnnd that's what's happening at the Wright house these days! Also, ballet and Gymnastics are over again. We're broke so no more classes like that for a while. I'm also not putting her back in Preschool for a few reasons I'll address another time. Hopefully I will get a handle on life and carve out some time to work with her in some workbooks etc to improve her writing abilities.
