Feeling accomlished

I am quite proud of my accomplishments over the past few days :)

1) I finished my first Mahjong tiles game ever.

2) Kevin and I cleaned the apartment which had taken a back seat for several months because of school/work and, let's be honest, I just didn't want to take the time to do it. However, it already needs to be cleaned again. Just laundry, a few dishes, and putting some blankets/clothes away. Nothing major, just needs to be done.

3) I finished my semester and managed to actually raise my overall GPA. Now I just get to work for 5 months. Poor Kevin is back to working and school. And he has hard classes these last 2 semesters.

4) I've applied to several places and already gotten multiple interviews so that's nice. I just wish I didn't have to look for a second job in order to get more than 23 hours per week. I mean, I worked 33 while I was in school, but now that I'm available anytime, I only get 23. I'm a little annoyed so I've started looking for a second (or even different job).

5) I completely forgot we bought a container of nutella (accomplishment 1 of this one) and once I realized it, I only ate about a 1/4 of the container. I was especially proud of this accomplishment. I really need to get over this  chocolate addiction I've had since I was born.

That's about all that's going on in our household recently!

Some people

The family we sat behind today in church made me sad. Well actually, just the mom. She was sitting right in front of us and her 4 kids and her husband were to her right. It was in the middle of a talk and she pulls out her phone and checks her facebook!!! Seriously?!? She was trying to keep it hidden in her purse and covering it with her hand, but it was still obvious. I think her husband knew and he sent their son to her side of the pew to ask what she was doing. As soon as he got closer to her, she made the screen go blank so he couldn't see what she was looking at. When he asked, she said "pictures". Now I don't doubt she was looking at pictures, but she left out the small detail that she was also checking her facebook-in Sacrament meeting!!

What kind of example does that show her kids is  my question?

I'm the first to admit to Sacrament meeting A.D.D. but to pull out your phone and text, check facebook, etc. is something I don't think I'll ever understand.  And then to hide it from someone you're supposed to be setting an example for is beyond me.

I would pay money to see how she handles the situation when the roles are reversed in about 10 years and her kids are the ones to be on the internet while in Sacrament meeting. If checking your social standing is OK now, what's to say in 10 years that taking a phone call during a church meeting will still be considered rude? By that time, it will probably be the norm.
