Sue, an amazing lady that has suffered much, and can still stand on her feet and smile. After hearing her story I have not one thing to complain about!
Myra, a doctor's wife, whose phone never stops ringing, and who shares her husband with the community whether or not he's working, and everything else she has with everybody else.
Charlotte, in constant pain from rheumatoid arthritis, but who spends her days serving others. The amazing lady who housed my husband for eight months, instead of three days, never taking any money.
Me. Sue, the wife of a Bishop, daughter of a mother that's blind, who homeschools five children, runs, cans, makes homemade bread, blogs, gardens...you know, the one you always want to be like!
Me. And Hillary Weeks, an amazing singer, mother, and another lady full of compassion and service to others, even when life is not easy. These are the women I spent my weekend with. I was sent to Time Out for Women, as a surprise by Zach and Alana, probably mostly Alana. It was fabulous, I feel renewed, revived, and am much nicer. How come going to time out can do that for you? Does it only work on Moms?

Yay for your time out!
I'm glad you got to go.
You deserve it.
Amy... always willing to do anything she is asked and more, has 6 handsome boys who are an awesome example to any other young man around, lifts everyone's spirit as soon as she walks in a room, plays piano for primary and sacrament meeting, can plan and throw a good LUAU!!
WHAT A FUN SURPRISE!!!
I love time out, it's a fun getaway~sounds like it was just what you needed!
SO GLAD YOU WENT! I knew you would enjoy it. You are just as amazing as all of the above women. Thanks for your support!
What a wonderful gift to receive. I was thinking how sometimes one of the kids haven't cleaned there glasses for awhile and dirt builds up. Their lens are cloudy and they don't take timeout to clean them, but keep trying to work through those lens. When they take timeout to clean them, Wow! things look much clearer. I think that's how life can be for me. I get so caught up in everyday life, my lens begin to get cloudy, and unfortunately, I start seeing things differently. But when I take a timeout to clean my lens, a new perspective is seen. I see things much differently.
Glad you enjoyed your Time out Amy Jo. You more than deserve it.Can't wait to see you guys again this summer.
What a nice gift to a wonderful Mom. Just was the doctor ordered! Life can be seen through a different angle when you have time for yourself. If you don't take care of yourself, you can't be 100% to take care of others--caregivers, being either for the elderly or the young, need to take time out, and I am so glad you had this opportunity. You deserve it.
Oops, I should have proofread before I submitted the above. Should have said "just what the doctor ordered"--oh well. You know what I mean. Love you.
