Summer Happenings

Sweetie Bree and Mokie

The Fun with Web 2.0 has been kinda fun and kinda tedious.  I haven't been able to get a few things to upload/download.  I tried again yesterday morning and my school password doesn't work.  Tomorrow I will call the help desk to see about it.  Everything I try doesn't help.  My projects are due on Saturday (I think!  Hopefully no sooner!)


We just keep on keepin' on.  It's a rough time for all of us.  I'm so worried about Bree.  I put this on facebook last night:


Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope."
--James E. Faust,


I got a few comments, only one who is LDS.  I usually get more posts on the LDS quotes and nobody realizes that they are "liking" Mormon stuff.  Well it's all true and nothing is weird or strange like they expect.  I like to search out things like that because they comfort me somewhat.  The other day when I was terribly worried about something I decided to just give it all to God.  Everytime I thought about it, I would tell myself that I gave it all to God.  I kept having to do that then I did stop worrying about it so much.  Not longer afterward I was told that all was OK.  It was a good experience for me to give it all to God.  I want to do this with Bree but haven't found the strength yet.  Every since she got back from Virginia she's been a little down.  We are spending more time together, mostly late at night watching TV and talking and laughing. I know she's hurting and she's scared.  I am too but I want to be strong for her.  Sometimes that means I just don't know what to say anymore. I've said it all. I just don't know how I can comfort her anymore.  


Good news for Traci.  Her tuition loan came in.  That was good to near at least we don't have that monkey on our back (not Traci, the money part!)  And I know she's been thinking about it a lot too.  


Keri is Keri.  I am not sure if I am looking forward to her going off to college or not.  I know she is going to love it...being away from home as well as the dance and the social aspect.  We'll see about how hard she is going to work on her classes.  And the princess will have nobody around to do things for her...unless she can talk her roommates into it. HA HA HA


My mom's doctor told her she has lung cancer.  We found out this week, just a few days ago.  We are hoping she can get in for a biopsy this week. I know she is scared. I don't want her to suffer.


You know when it seems that it can't get worse, it does.  Our grade level is supposed to be quite the challenge this year.  I hope I can keep a handle on it all.


GOALS for the week:
1. family prayer every night
2. clean out the pantry
3. organize garage sale stuff
4. have garage sale on Friday
5. only have up to 2 sodas


I can't remember what my goals were last time so I can't say what I've completed!  Best go check!
