Hi, Just Sitting Here


The kids went to Canon City to see Bree's dad.  I am sitting here watching UFO's on TV.  Love the history channel.

Thank you for all the of the cards.  I am so brain dead where that sort of thing is concerned.  Thank you for thinking of me.

I bought groceries, specifically, coffee creamer.  I hadn't had any for a while, and it was a real treat.  The utility bill on this place is running right around $600 a month.  We are planning on getting out just as soon as we can.  Needless to say, money is very tight.  Thank heavens I got a job.  I am working for Safeway in the Deli.  I actually like it.  Hate my boss, but it is worth putting up with her for the job.  I don't think she is going to last much longer.  She hired her son's live in girlfriend (they all live with her).  So she is dependent on the girlfriends income.  Not a good situation.  But this is a typical small town.  Nepotism runs rampant.  I love the area so much I just don't care.

To get past the cancer, the drugs and now this.  I must be a very strong person indeed.  What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

I have Monday and Tuesday off to take care of the kids.  I guess right now I'm just living for Monday afternoon to find out what is actually going to happen.  Open heart surgery, or stop smoking and get more exercise?  She hasn't smoked for about a week now.  Maybe this is the wake up call both she and David needed.  I am so angry at her.  Doesn't do me any good, and it is deeply buried, but if she starts to smoke again, I'm probably going to kill her (not really).

Everything is going great with all of us, (besides the above).  The kids are doing good in school.  They are going through the "new kid" syndrome.  It is harder on Erin than Donovin.   Erin is in 4H and Donovin is wrestling (his dad is ecstatic).  Erin is involved in a goat farm, where she has her own goat, and takes care of it and shows it at fair time.  She is loving it.  But, the girls are all little sh....ts.  Bree is going to take on the other mothers one of these days.  I hope I am there to see it.  She has become a wonderful mother.  Donovin went to his first tournament and won a match.  Got a meddle that he is so proud of.  No one can push him off the mat, even the bigger boys.  He is such a little fighter.  With such a huge heart.  

Bree and I pretty much take care of Caydin (probably spelled wrong).  She takes him to bed around 7, gets up with him at 2:30-3AM, feeds him, then I take over.  I'm up with him from about 3:30 on.  She and I go to bed around the same time.  It is the only way we can get enough sleep.  He still only drinks 4oz at a feeding and only sleeps around 6-7 hours at a time.  We have tried to get him to stay up later, and gradually work him into a 9-10 pm to 5am, but haven't been successful so far.  Maybe one of these days.  Because everyone has been so sick (Dave and Bree) (I'm fine, haven't caught anything yet) he finally got a cold.  All stuffy in the head.  Makes him really irritable.  He still just screams at the top of his lungs when he is mad.  He will also give you a verbal lashing when he feels it is necessary.  I've never seen a baby as verbal as he is.  He talks all the time.  We aren't sure what he is saying, but it must be important.  I guess we need to teach him that sign language they are teaching babies now.

Well, I'm going to take a nap before I go to work.  I will keep up with you now on email.  I really hope you are doing OK!  How is Leonard?  He seems like such a strong person.  But I think you are stronger.  I love you and will write more later.

I am jealous that I am not closer so that I can help out. I did offer to come, it is not that far away. Remind Bree and David that I will drop everything to come if I am needed.

Jim and Julie are going to be paying those kind of heating bills, as well. It isn't as cold here so they have been only paying $400-$500 per month. They do not have natural gas where they live.

Take care and remember that I love you! M


Myrna wrote: I had emailed you several times, and it wasn't until I sat and looked at the email address I had gotten from Bree and compared it to your mail on her computer that I realized it was very wrong.  Now I have it.  I will let  you know what happens this afternoon.  Love you 2.

About CDs--Please Don't Nag


Myrna wrote: Dear Family,

I have now realized that there are duplicate photos in the batch of CDs I am sending each of you. I know that I have been cautioned before about not doing this. However, I will be hanged if I will do all of these over just to eliminate the duplicates. When you look at them and realize that I have wasted disk space, just remember that it was all at my expense: time and money. Therefore, either be patient and understanding or, at least, be quiet.

I know what I did. I had the photos in different files. A CD holds approximately 311 photos. Some were the files where I put un-doctored photos--originals. I keep them just for myself. The other files were where I put the ones I have lightened or darkened or whatever. The other day I had several computer problems with my DSL, keeping my printer up and running and connecting to e-mail. Allen helped me out. I now have a new Ethernet switch. During that process I became confused about what was what on my desktop. I know, I should name files so that I don’t. However, they were on my desktop in a certain order and then they weren’t. By the way, some of the files won’t save at all because “the originals are no longer available.” I thought I had this all figured out before I moved to CD. I didn’t. Oh, well. I call it live and learn.

Please don't nag.

Love, M


Kirsten wrote: Mom, you just took away all our fun!!! Bummer!  Speaking for myself, you know how to raise a good nag (ask Jared... *pause*  ...on second thought, don't).  Now what am I supposed to do?  Just look at the photos and enjoy them?  I mean, seriously...

:)

<3,

Kirsten

Today Amy Became the New Ward Relief Society President

Todd wrote: Amy was sustained and set apart today as the Relief Society President for our ward.  We are very proud of her and know she is about to get really busy.  Our ward is approximately 350 square miles with about 300 families of which about 120 are active.


Myrna wrote: Congratulations to you, Amy! Being RS president was a really fulfilling calling. It certainly is one where you feel the Spirit. I cried when I was sustained and I cried when I was released. Our love and support to you. Love, M

Happy Valentine's Day to All!


I am not doing too well at keeping up. Sorry about that. You can all feel free to post at any time. It really would be appreciated. Thanks to Siovhan for finding my back post still lingering in the dank, dark woods of the still-to-be posted information. Apparently I am not too good at this blog posting as of yet. I didn't know that items could be kept in the un-published area. Now I do.

At any rate, I hope you all got your Valentines from Gramps and I. Hopefully, there is still something you can buy for a dollar. I was hoping you could all go out together and buy a treat. But then, I have great faith in the mail (ha, ha) and think that you will actually all get your cards on the same day. Was that wishful thinking? By the way, does anybody anywhere bang Valentines anymore? That was fun in the old days.

We do love you all.

Another beautiful winter wonderland day !!!‏


Helen wrote: Dearest Hon and Sister: Here it is a beautiful winterwonderland day- to be sure it must of snowed all night and is still doing so.

Am so pleased for all the items you have been able to get for your Temple Preparation class.  Personally, I would love to take it from you .

Hon, am pleased with the out come of your visit to the Moran Eye Center- those folks are really among the best!
I didn't think to ask how Crayden's appointment went with the doctor in Colorado Springs on this past Thursday. Hope it was productive.

Have a very good day and a "SPECIAL HEART DAY ON SATURDAY".  How blessed you are to have each other on your eteral sojourns. Am grateful you in mine.

Love--Your Sister---Helen

Family, I was wrong. Do not use petroleum jelly in the nose or around it.


A medical question and answer site in the Deseret News  gave the following information.

A. We warn readers not to put Vicks in the nose for fear of triggering chemical pneumonitis (lung inflammation). In fact, the column you are referring to closed with this caution: The manufacturer warns that Vicks VapoRub is "for external use only," and should not be put in nostrils. Regular use of petroleum jelly in the nose may increase the risk for lung irritation. This warning is more important than ever, since researchers at Wake Forest University recently reported a case in which an 18-month-old child developed severe breathing problems when her grandparents put Vicks under her nostrils for a cold (Chest, Jan. 2009).

Kimberly wrote: I've heard the putting it on the bottoms of your feet and then socks worked really well. Have not had an occasion to try it out.

Melanie wrote: I had heard the feet with socks thing. It is supposed to help dry, cracked feet.

Our pediatrician just recently told us not to use it anywhere except on the chest, lightly at that, and feet.

Kirsten wrote: I love it with a little water on my chapped lips. Just a light coat. 
wonder if that causes breathing issues, never has before. hmmmmm.

Maybe that could explain l;oss of brain cells (decreased oxygen and 
such)

We Will Teach Temple Prep

Leonard was wondering if you could pick up the following manual for him.
Thanks, M

36854000-01 Endowed from on High: Temple Preparation Seminar Teacher's Manual $1.25 USD


Helen wrote: Dearest Hon and Myrna--What a most appropriate calling for you to have in Temple Preparation.

Hon, thanks for your call. There is a booklet you will want to look at while you are at Distribution. It ia PREPARING TO ENTER THE HOLY TEMPLE- this is adapted from Elder Boyd K. Packers book- The Holy Temple. Has 37 pages, with a number of colored pictures inside various temples. There is no charge for it. You can get as many as you need. When you get to Distribution I would love to see you - you can come back to the clothing section or let one of the Associates at the cashier counter in the supply area know you would like to see me and they will let me know so I can come up to the supplies area. Pray all goes well with your eye appointment.

Once again, dear Sister, am so pleased you have gotten and hope continue to get such relief from your new doctor. Have a good Sabbath. Look forward to seeing you. Love Just me HT.

I need Ron's e-mail address?


Myrna wrote to Ann Olsen:

Ron called and wanted Shawn's telephone number. The problem is that we were not home. We work the evening shift at the temple on Friday and the afternoon shift on Saturday. We usually do not get home on Friday until after 10 p.m. Ron called about 5 p.m. and we did not get home from the temple until just now (10:16 p.m.). We did try to call back at the number he gave us but the service did not allow us to leave a message. Anyway, here is Shawn's phone number: 1-801-825-2867. Maybe you could pass it on for us.
I hope they can get in touch.
Thanks.
