Come What May and Love It

For My birthday I ran away from home. Four of my friends and I left and went to Utah for a scrapbooking convention. I had pics to post on here but one friend threatened to call the police to have me remove her pic if I posted it. Another friend was giving me a dirty look in the pic and a 3rd friend was blinking so I guess I will spare them all. We were their from 9:00am - 6:00pm. It was long and fun. You would not beleive the deals they have there. When I went 6 months ago, I spent all my time shopping and finding great deals. This time I decided I had a project I HAD to work on. I only bought things pertaning to that project. I did not spend as much money their but we did spend more on the hotel. I guess I did not spend less over all. O well it was my birthday and that is about all I got for my birthday.

I am hooked I find myself coming and changing something every day. I know I come here for the novelty of it. After a couple of weeks I will forget all about it and obsess about something new. Watching my children this week I have been thinking a lot. I do not remember my childhood being this difficult. I do not think that their childhood is abnormally difficult, and maybe they do not think it is difficult. I think what makes it hard for me is that I am the mom on the outside and have very little control over what is happening to them when they are not with me. I like to hear from my children what happened in their day at school. I ask them to tell me something happy about their day. Then I ask them to tell me something sad about their day. I find that by doing this they tend to open a little more. However when they tell me something sad that then makes me mad I really have a hard time not going and kicking some kids hind end! I guess that is the nature of mothers instinct! If anyone ha...

Our house is all a buz with homecoming week. They had decade day at the jr high. I realized I am really old when I took D to school and noticed the most popular decade was the 80"s. What happened to the 50's or 60's or even the 70's? Some of the other days were clash day and spirit day. Here are a few pictures of L marching in the parade and at half time. At the time of homecoming, L did not have her uniform. She got it this week.

Okay, so I am new to this. I went to enrichment night and learned how to do this. I did it once and lost everything so I guess I will try again. Just so you know, ldldh are the first initials of our names. I will update you on our children. L is in 11th grade. she is in marching band and loves it, dispite the 7:00 am practices in 40 degree weather. I guess it rained on her this morning. She is also hoping to be in the pit for an upcoming musical. D is in the 8th grade. She loves her violin. Her favorite fiddler, Natalie McMasters, http://www.nataliemacmaster.com is coming to BYUI next month and we have tickets to go see her.
