Survival Mode

I have been passed out on the couch for the last 4 days! Let me tell ya the couch is getting a nice big broke in spot on the corner of our sectional! So what do you do when you feel nauseous, have the chills, sweaty all over although I am wrapped up in my big fleece blanket, pretty much useless doing anything else but stare. You guessed it, watched a lot of these: Today show, Living in Utah, Rachel Ray, Studio 5, okay I gave the kids a break and let them watch a cartoon, then would resume watching The Talk, The Nate Berkus Show, Oprah and the 5 o'clock news. Thank goodness soap operas don't rule the afternoon anymore. I learned a lot of stuff, which I know I will never use. Maybe one idea sparked an interest. Maybe. My poor kids have been pretty neglected. They are pretty much on their own. Finally at 2 pm today I broke down and ordered pizza and had it delivered. It is definitly time to go grocery shopping! I took myself to the Instacare tonight. I paid $25 for them to look at me and say "well, it looks as if you have the flu." Okay, that is what I told you when you asked me what was wrong. You were then supposed to tell me I had strep throat, walking pneumonia or a sinus infection or something where I could get antibiotics so I could be relieved from these symptoms! Almost the worst behind me. The dr. said it could last from 5 days to over a week. Great. Seriously am hoping I don't pass this on to any one else. Especially Jenna, as she gets so whiny and hard when she isn't feeling well. I hope tomorrow is a little more productive and this goes away soon!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
