Life 365 | Week 21

Monday, May 17, 2010
may17Beth’s last week of school started today. Afterwards, she played in her little “puzzle corner” for quite awhile so I could keep working on my Good EatZ Kit. She is getting so good at doing puzzles and we just have a puzzle going all the time! She loves it!

Tuesday, May 18, 2010
may18Another day of trying to get my kit done. It just isn’t happening and I’m just not going to have it done on time – but I think its turning out pretty good. No picture today since I just worked all day on the computer, but I do have some of the kit to share. The kids have been playing pretty well together so I am getting some done – just not enough.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010
may19I took a break from designing today to go participate in JJ’s School Spring Run-off – the only school fundraiser they have all year. We didn’t go last year, but I thought we really should do it this year. Beth went to only about 1/2 of her school today and she and I went and joined JJ in the race. We ran a little and walked a little – but we made it to the finish line and we got fun shirts to show it! My Book ScrapZ Chat was tonight and of course I didn’t have the kit done – but everyone is being very patient with me – so that helps!

may20Beth graduated from the Center Stage Preschool today. Joey and I were able to attend her graduation/program and it was very cute. I know Beth is going to miss her friends there and the teachers and I’m grateful she has had the opportunity to do a little Karate, a little dancing and singing, and learning.

Friday, May 21, 2010
may21We got to babysit Mallory for half the day today and it was so fun. JJ was so happy that she came early so he could have a little time with her before he went to school! Mal went with us to Beth’s last time with her class. We went to a park and had Mommy and Muffins. We got to have some muffins and juice and the kids got to play on the playground. It was a lot of fun and Beth didn’t want to leave. But she started feeling a little sick. By the time night came she was coughing up a storm and had a high fever.

Saturday, May 22, 2010
may22This morning, I got to pick up my first Bountiful Basket. I have found a great co-op for fruit/vegetables/bread and I’m excited to have more healthy foods come into my home. Hopefully I’ll learn how to use it all! It is so fun.

Beth is our little sickie today. She does pretty good during the day, but the night is really hard on her. She coughs so much that she can hardly breathe and her temperature got up to 103 degrees today. Joey and I got free tickets to go to the I Fight Dragons concert. (It’s a fairly new band that Joey has had contact with and he’s even had their permission to use their music on his podcast. So its pretty cool). Anyways, but because Beth is so sick I stayed home with her while Joey went to the concert with his brother. He said it was really great – though he overdid it with his leg (blood clots) and is pretty swollen!

Sunday, May 23, 2010
may23With Joey not feeling well and Beth not feeling well – another very hard night – we stayed home from church. The nights are so awful. I think Beth has finally broke the fever – but the coughing at night is just awful. We are all very tired.

For Family Movie Night we watched A Little Princess and we had muffins and meat pies (chicken) – like they have in the book!

And we finished our night – with watching the finale of Lost. It’s been a very interesting 6 years and I’ll miss the show – I think the finale was good and I’m glad they ended it the way they did.

And here is my weekly layout:
week21I used my TearZ U, Good EatZ & Digital 365 to create this layout!

Project 365 | Week 39

I am grateful today for this wonderful preschool that Beth goes to and really enjoys. I love that it is within walking distance and I love that Beth gets to dance, karate, and singing in addition to academics.

We were amazed by the sunset today – it was in such wonderful colors and the gradient from yellow to purple was astounding!

Thanks to one of my dearest internet friends, Georgia – I was able to get my computer fixed. I expected that it wouldn’t be done until at least Friday, but was surprised today when Joey brought it home to me! I missed my computer so much – I have been completely lost without it.

Sometimes life can just be prickly. We have had quite an awful month – with financial woes, our van dying on us, my computer problems, and then today I went happily off to play Volleyball and came home in tears.

I had been playing for about 3 hours and then when I went up to spike a ball, somehow my feet went one way and my body went another – and it hurt badly. I couldn’t put any pressure on my ankle and was just embarrased as the men and women all stopped to try and help me. On the way to my car (with the help of some wonderful people), I got dizzy and the voices faded and I passed out for the first time in my life. I woke after a couple of minutes and a woman drove my car and me home with another woman driving behind us to take the other woman back to the church. These are people I just met and was so embarrassed about everything and was really in pain. I was so glad to see my house and have Joey take care of me. He helped me into the house and took care of me as I cried and tried to get myself under control. Joey listened to me cry, gave me ibuprofen and some sleeping pills and I finally after several hours drifted off to sleep, still in pain.

So life can just pile on the trials sometimes, but I’m trying to see the beauty in it. Just like weeds can have some really pretty flowers, I know that this trial is supposed to teach me something – there is something of worth in it – I just have to figure it out. At least it will give me some computer time and some down time – maybe that’s what I need.

What a day. Of course, I was still in pain and felt guilty because Joey had to take care of everything for me – including getting the kids off to school and taking care of my every whim. We decided we should go to the doctor and make sure the ankle was not broken. Thank goodness it wasn’t but we found it is probably a second-degree sprain and I got a brace. Joey missed a meeting and other work stuff today because of me, but thank goodness my Mom and brother came up today, so that he could go play D&D and do his podcast. Mom and Lane got here about 6 and they brought me some crutches so I could get around better. We went out to dinner at Iggy’s with Cody and Becki and of course as I am still getting used to the crutches, I fell on the curb and hurt my ankle again. So it wasn’t the most enjoyable time, but it was nice to get out and visit with family for a little bit. It was great to have Grandma help me put the kids to bed and everything.

So another awful night and I just couldn’t get mobile enough to go watch Lane run in his Cross Country Race at UVU. I pretty much slept the day away. Mom and Lane left to go back home and Joey took care of the kids. I finally got up and hopped my way into the living room so I could be near my family. The kids enjoyed playing with some new watercolor paints and I finished up my grab bag – thank goodness my computer is back.

Sundays at our house mean church and Football. Well today, because of my immobility I wasn’t able to go and because I am usually the one to get everyone up and ready to go – no one went to church today. I stayed in bed for the first half of the day, thanks to another unrestful night. And then we spent the rest of the day watching football together and the kids playing nearby. Our Colts won today handily and it was fun to see them play better than last week!

Joey had this nice experience this morning while I was still sleeping: This morning, as I was sitting on the couch watching football, Beth came and climbed into my lap – this surprised me, as she doesn’t normally show any interest in watching football with me. I asked her “Do you like football?” and she said “No, I don’t like football as a movie, I just wanted to spend time with my Daddy.”

We had the opportunity to ride on Thomas the Train today. We headed up to the Heber Valley Railroad and joined in the fun little activities and then went on a 25 minute train ride. JJ really loves trains and this was just a great thing to do as a family on Memorial Day.

I got some fun ice cream sandwich molds and we tried them out today to make treats for Beth’s last day of school. They turned out pretty good – I think I need a little more practice – they were messy – but yummy!

Today is my Dad’s 60th Birthday. I hope he knows how much I love and appreciate him. He has and does so much for our family and I am so glad that I am a Daddy’s girl. I love you Dad – Happy Birthday!

JJ’s school had their annual Dance Festival today. This was the first time the Life Skills Class has been able to participate. Joey was able to come too and JJ loved having his family watch him. He did such a good job doing their dance to “Under the Sea.” He was so excited about it and it was a lot of fun to watch!

Today was Beth’s last day at Adventure Time Preschool. She has loved going to school and Miss Megan has been a really wonderful teacher for her. She always has such glowing things to say about Beth and how smart she is. She told me today that they were learning about opposites and she wasn’t sure how to teach the kids that, but Beth got right up in front of the class and yelled out the answers and got the rest of the class involved. She’s going to miss school this summer. But we have her enrolled in a new preschool in the fall that even has dance classes included. Beth is really going to love it!

Today was JJ’s last day of school. Ms. Raines has been an amazing teacher for JJ. He has accomplished so much this year. I’m so grateful for the amazing schools they have for kids with special needs. It truly helps so much. It’s possible that JJ will go to the same school and class next year and I really hope so. He does get to summer school for a few weeks this summer, so I’m hoping that we can stay on track with everything!

We celebrated being out of school today. We took the kids to a double-feature at the movies. We went and saw UP and the NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2. They were both really fun movies and I’m really glad we got to take the kids. By the end of the 2nd movie, the kids were getting a little anxious, so I think maybe 2 movies in one day was a little much, but I’m glad we did it anyway. We ate at KFC in between the movies and it was just a fun day out for the family. Poor Joey was pretty wiped out too – he had helped Curtis and Anne move this morning. A good day…

I finished up my next kits today for my upcoming June Challenges and my Featured Designer spot at Digitals. I wanted to have it done earlier, but at least it got done on time. I have a lot to do this upcoming week to get ready to go move cows with my family and hopefully have another kit done before I leave…we’ll see if I actually can get it done!
