Yes, please

I just found out about this remake of Upstairs Downstairs, starting this weekend:

Watch the full episode. See more Masterpiece.

Just didn't want anyone to miss out!

. . .

That's all I've got for now. My daily routine is back to the 5 a.m. start so I can take the (now car-less) girls to early morning seminary. I love my car time with them but, oh boy, it's playing havoc with the rest of my day. Mostly because I crave a nap. And give in more often than not.

Maybe I'll dream of a London house with full staff. Or at least an early morning chauffeur.

Girl. I have only this to say: I have to teach the dang class. And it kills me. So tired all of the time!

In other news, so looks like we are missing Women's Conference. Are we still getting together? I need to.

Thanks for the head's up! I am so excited!! I do have my Tivo set to always record that timeslot on PBS, but now I have something to look forward to.

Oh, Sarah. I actually think of you every time I drive them there. Getting myself there in pajamas and with blurry eyes and bed head is one thing, getting yourself there all presentable and teacherly is a completely different game. Hats off to you.

Hmm, yes. Not making it to women's conference. Are you going? When are you next in Utah? Maybe the stars will align at some point this year...

I loved watching Upstairs Downstairs with my mom, I'll have to watch this new one with Laura.
