"I left my brain in St. George"

That sounds like a song title, Scott told me. I keep tryign to talk and something else comes out. I told my daughter to go put something on the couch instead of the table. That isn't the only thing. I keep transposing words. SILLY me!

I went down to St. George this weekend. I went with a bunch of CRAZY ladies. I so needed the break. Oh boy I got it! It was absolutely fabulous to be away from the rigamarole of stuff. No Laundry, no dishes, no fighting kids oh, you get the idea. The biggest descison that had to be made was "what are we going to eat for dinner". It was wonderful Oh and I didn't have to cook.

I got to know some friends better and made a few new ones. I have a new admiration for one. She is definately one I would like to be like. She has a quiet strength that I REALLY admire.

We went down to see Les Miserables at the Tuacahn. I had NEVER seen it. I really liked the message it had. We can all change. It takes work and a real desire. We ate and ate and did a bit of shopping. I spent under $10 shopping...yippee!

I am SO thankful i had the chance to go. My mom and Scott took turns with the kids. Luckily my mom was off work when Scott needed to be there. School was out on Friday for my kids so I didn't know if it was going to work out. I so needed the break. When I came home Bryan came out first to meet me. My heart melted! It was so sweet! Then the rest of my family piled out of the house. I'm sure Scott, hollered at them "mom's home!" I was ready to be home. The break was good.\


I think every mother needs moments like this. A break from reality to be able to come back to be better. Even though my brain still isn't completely working (what day is it?) I am happy.

****I JUST figured out the problem I was having with my camera! It wasn't on the right setting. One of the kids must have turned a dial! UGH! No wonder the pics I took were poor. I guess I need to read my manual to see what M means. I prefer Auto, LOL! http://picasaweb.google.com/brghtii/StGeorge#

It sounds like you guys had fun. I really wanted to go but Jury duty, Temple Sealing, and Garry's Birthday was a pretty good excuse. I really want to come to some of your classes. Right now I do not have a vehicle so I will have to come when I have some wheels. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me!

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...

Teacher Appreciation

Originally I had planned on do a different door completely! I was going to copy a door I found on a website Sugardoodle.net had posted on Facebook. I even got Home Depot to donate the things I needed. Last week I thought I should do a Hawaiian theme since this teacher went to school there and met his wife at BYU Hawaii and he will use "Mahalo" (thank you in Hawaiian) in class. I put it off, I had everything. Well, this morning I decided to change it to the Hawaiian theme. I had it all worked out in my head. I knew what I wanted. It didn't turn out the way I wanted exactly but I think it worked well. Mahalo Nui Loa, Thank you very much. I told LeMira, the parent council president that I was not very creative. She bawks at that idea now. I may have gotten myself in trouble. LeMira, made the pail and shovel and the banner. Journey made the sand castle. Lots of encouragement and it was done and hung. Not bad for a "last minute" idea.

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...
