Joining Conference
I woke up in time to turn on General Conference. A few minutes into it Ben sat on my head behind me. I went to get a chair for him and when I came back he had taken my chair so I sat next to him in the one I had just gotten. It was…

Today and tomorrow The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is holding its semiannual General Conference. I listened to the first two hour block in my pajamas this morning. But I brought a spirit of contention and sloth. I don’t remember much from it and it only finished an hour and a half…

Violence and Murder
Yesterday my youngest son wanted a bath at an inappropriate time. I said no and it started a meltdown. We had to use emergency medication to deescalate him. He was able to get a bath in the afternoon and go with his respite worker. While he was gone Stephanie got our new cat Ether. When…
