Kimberly wrote: Yes, we are going  up early. Or you could go with Shawn.  Let me have him call you.

RE: Sorina/Zoey Dance Performances:

I think that I am going to have to bypass the review. It breaks my heart but I am snowed under with the newspaper. Rebecca was supposed to go to all of my meetings for me while I was gone but she did not. She did go to a couple but not some of the most important (school board, county, court). It was the end of the school year for her kids. I have been listening to tape recordings and trying to get things put together but I am not doing well. Then we had more drug arrests and a trial that I need to get taken care of. I have missed so many of the kids things this last couple of months that it makes me sad. I didn't get to any of the Howard's recitals or concerts either. I also missed Mary's program. (I did get to two graduations, however, and a funeral and helped with a baby.) I think that I am getting too old to keep this newspaper stuff up. I really need to quit the paper but that is my grandkid money so I hate to do it. Also, I have not helped you with your move at all. If there is something I can do this Friday, I would love to come up and help out. Our shift does not work on Friday during the pageant. I will go to the temple alone on Saturday.

Please, please forgive me and send photos. Thanks.

Kimberly wrote: You are always forgiven.  It’s just me and Sorina on Friday.  Dane leaves for Trek Thurs-Sat, and Shawn and Toren go up to BS Camp on Friday (that sounds funny).  We have a baptism to go to in Layton on Saturday, and Dane to pick up, and my dad’s birthday party.

We still have a lot of our stuff in storage at Jim/Julie’s.  I don’t know what Shawn has worked out with that.  It’s a slow process getting things put away here.  We’ve had a lot of back and forth to Layton these past few weeks.

AnnMarie and Brandon and kids came and helped us unload twice.  It was very nice of them.  It was while you were away and I asked AnnMarie not to tell Jim we were moving those days because I didn’t want him to come all the way up to Layton to help us move.  (He had told Dad, he’d come up and help us, and we thought that was too far, and he is always so busy, and they just had a baby, and I still have the present sitting in my room) .

Also, we could come down Sunday.  Are you planning a special dinner, and is so, could we help?  We are out of Church at 2 pm.


Myrna wrote: We are planning a dinner and Melanie, Ben and Mikaela will be here. You are welcome. Dad was thinking that he would like me to make meat balls but I don't know if that will be best or not. Let me know what you think.


Kimberly wrote: Whatever you make will be fine. I can bring a salad of some type, a desert—lemon meringue?


Myrna wrote: A salad would be wonderful!!!!!!!! Who is coming and who is not? I usually don't worry about it.


AnnMarie wrote: I wonder if Kim wanted everyone to see the entire string of emails between the two of you.  It has her telling me not to tell Jim about the move.
I'll reply separately.

Myrna wrote: SHOOT! I am sorry. I thought that I had erased all of the beforehand stuff. Looking at it, I did get most of it. RATS!!!!!!! Sorry everyone. I am just going to go somewhere and cry. I think that all of you should just bypass me with email. Forget that I am part of the family!!!!!!  I want my mommy.


AnnMarie wrote: Well, I had intended on being subtle.  I think we call that reaching the tipping point, Mom.  Now would be a good time to turn off the computer, put in an old movie, pop some popcorn and remember the good old days when the most stressful thing was washing clothes for 10 people, feeding them all, cleaning the house, working, cutting articles and measuring them, school activities, preparing a lesson for church, PTA fooferah, and making random trips to the hospital.  That isn't relaxing?  Well maybe it is perspective then.  You've handled worse stress, this too will be handled--and handled well.

Well, hopefully I didn’t say anything bad…

Love all of you.  Hope I’ve been in the family long enough that everyone will put up with my talking out of turn and quirks.
