Time to think of the possitive

I am really in a bad mood and am crying. The only thing I can think of to make it go away is to sit here and write the things I am thankful for.

My two little girls that just came in to tell me what their little brothe was doing. The joy they get from simple things. "he's sucking on a straw"

Knowing that we AREN'T starving even when THEY think they are. We have more than enough food. Our needs are met. We have a comfortable home in a beautiful location. Gorgeous view from my kitchen.

I find peace in Heavenly Father's creations. What a joy it is to know that we have a Heavenly Father that loves his Children so much that he has created a world full of beauty. If the Earth is so beautiful what is the Celestial Kingdom like? Seems like it would be beyond our comprehension. I have live in Maui and have seen some absolutely magnificant places and things there....I jsut can't even imagine the enormity of the beauty in the Celestial world.

Knowing we have a living prophet ont he Earth. WHat a gift that is! To have modern day revelation coming from God. We have a link directly to Him. WOW!!! Looking at PRes. Hinckley and thinking about the life he led of sevice makes ME want to do more. BE useful!

My family, I never imagined I would have five kids. I did however imagine I would have a wonderful husband who loves and adores me. I don't have to wonder IF he loves me. He shows me eachday. I think that is my greatest gift when I am down like this. To knwo I can fall on him. He encourages me to pray and go to my Father in prayer. Even though it seems so hard for me to do. WHY???

My mind wanders so much I can't keep a train of thought. I jsut can't seem to figure out WHY I'm in such a funk I have so much in my life. I need to think on the possitive and look at the simple things. Take a page from my precious children and laugh at the little things like the straw. Laugh when there is lip gloss (BLUE) all over my kids face and look like a clown.

Facial cellulitis

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin

Goodbye Nala (graphic warning)

  The past 22hrs have been excruciating. 22hrs ago we were sitting down to a late dinner after helping buck hay. Ramen Noodles, the dinner of champions, ya know. We heard this HORRIBLE noise. None of us had a clue what it was. Someone said "It sounds like someone is dieing. Little did we know it was OUR dog! Scott went out to investigate. He was gone for a few minutes and when he came in, he had this look. I said "Do I need to come?". "yes" was the answer I popped up and threw shoes on. When I went outside I saw a car in the middle of the road with a dog BEHIND it. My thought was it was Danny and Nala was sitting there worried. When I went up the boy (17) driving said "she ran out in front of us". It took a minute to realize he was refering to my dog. She was on the ground mangled. Her back legs were a twisted mess. Not much blood but you could hear her troubled breathing. I thought the problem was just her legs. Later I found out d

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa
