I have had an I needed that kind of week. My kids are home from school for yet one more week of their 2 week fall break ( dang Alternate schedule). There for my house looks like a pig pen, I am getting no help from them and if I didn't have so much dang hair you could so see the bald spots from where I am pulling it out. I feel like my patients is worn paper thin and my dh isn't seeming to help much lately. He did make a GREAT meal and then left the dishes for me. He did a load of laundry and i will be the one to sort and put it away. See what I mean great help huh.... so anyway. I went to the DoJang for the kids to do their TKD ( I can't right now busted a toe) and Mr Tuck told me what wonderful patience I had. He had been dealing with thier almost 2 year old that day need I say more.
SO then I come here to complain and whine and I can't even do that because my wonderful friends make me laugh when I just don't think I want to.
Thank you I needed that.
oh and..........
Thanks for putting up with me and my lousy grammar and punctuation. I know it can be hard to read at times. Like I said in the beginning I din't come here to work on my spelling and such so....... read some of my old posts I understand I really do.
so sorry guys
I know I have been really lazy at keeping up here. Actually I have gotten lazy at everything but the exercise. I am tired and have been having some headaches lately. I think new glasses will solve the headaches but the other I am not sure. I am trying some new supliments and revamping the diet. I slacked a little with that and I am thinking that may be the problem.
Anyway I am 5 pounds from my goal now and I am thinking I will need to push myself beyond that I mean at over 200 165 looked like a lot of weight and now that I am this close to that goal I believe I can go further so, call me crazy but I am going to change my goal to 155 and keep plugging along. In fact I made it reality the other day by calling into the radio station and saying I would do that by Christmas so here we go.
Pray that EVERYTHING will fall into place and my health and body will handle all I have to do.

the weigh in.
I just thought I would update on the whole excercise/ weight thing. I love the excercise. I really do and I love being pushed when I need and encouraged. I wish I could have that at home but I just don't see it happening. My husband thinks that sarcasm passes as thank yous and compliments and it just doesn't to me. ANYWAY moving beyond that. I took a pic with my phone the other day that I really just have to share. At weigh in last wednesday I hit under the 190 I am now in the 80s and I think the other gals are amazed that the weight is still just melting off. I love it.
Anyway pic on is the before from the website.
pic 2 is from last sat when I wore the shorts that are now so huge I had to give them away. sorry for the yuccky lookin me I had just gotten done with a TKD class and was all sweaty. you you look at the pic though there are 2 things you should notice, the first is the look on Ky's face. she did not want to be where she was. THe second is why her face looked like that . Yup her legs are LOOSELY down the shorts, in fact the only thing keeping the rest of her out of the shorts was her diaper, she wasn't too happy about not having the support of mommy's arms around her bottom.
I will post the after pic that we took a bit ago when they post it. I am just as curious to see what has changed as the rest of you.

The knot is slipping.
School can't start fast enough at this point. I have had it up to my eyeballs with most of these kids. and yes I mean most of them. I have a 3 year old that will not talk, she just grunts and groans and thinks that somehow this will get her the attention she wants. she has done this since the baby ( who is now about to talk her self) was four months old and started cooing. Can was say Jealous. she WON"T potty train the diaper thing gets her attention. at this point I am very tempted to just let her go with pants on and hope that after I hose her off a few times with the hose she will get the picture. Then there is the 8 year old who has become a klepto. and will take just about anything that isn't nailed down. then she will lie about it n hopes of getting out of it. THen there is the 11 year old (ok so he is just a few weeks shy of 12) who thinks he knows all and I know nothing, not only that but he can just sit because he can and everyone will take care of him. OH hell no I will not have my brother in this house.
Now on to the oldest child in this house and yes I mean my dh ( for those of you reading today the d don't stand for dear lately) He seems to think these days athat he can go away and come back to a home in perfect order with no chaos at all. that I (his maid) will automatically find his socks underwear and all his clothes on command and never complain about it, even when he doesn't for one second let me know that he A) aprreciates it or B even lets me know he is all most out of something. He sits and tells me that I need to set an example and show the children how do to things, when it is HE that will sit on his tookus all afternoon flipping channels and saying there is nothing on, and how big a mess the house is that that he can't even find the sink ( ok so do a danm dish will ya) I cook clean and keep the fighting to a minimim in the house all day long, I fetch is slippers and shoes and all sorts of things, and then the jerk wants you know what. Last night I finally told that I was leaving my self for someone I thought loved me not my employer. I am not a whore. I will be a maid and a nanny but there is no way I am going to do that.
I AM DONE.

what is happening to me.
I have so much energy when I finish with a workout that is it getting hard for me to calm down. I am beginning to look like a dang Jack rabbit. The problem is that I can't be a Jack rabbit somebody else has that name all ready. But the even better news is that I am dropping and dropping and dropping. by all means take a peak at the ticker below. yup I hit is and it is not coming back. I called my dad and my brother and If it were possible to call my mom I would even tell her, though at this minute I am sure she knows my weight better than I do. I need ways to celabrate this loss though without making my weight spike back up. I am going to lunch some time this week and next and I am pretty sure that I know what I will be doing for both of those. I would really love to find a way to show off the loss though with out buying a new wardrobe yet. THat will come with 20 pounds and that fact that I won't fit in anything I own.
If you know of anything let me know so that I can be proud for me.
Oh and if you want to see before an after pics the link is in the post below titled Well it is up. I don't know for sure when the 4 week pic will be up but they took it today.

Ok now the dust has settled.
I can properly blog about our trip. you know about the whole windshield fiasco. That was the only REALLY bad thing that happened the entire weekend. beside the fact that the camera burned up ( yes I mean burned up. about 45 minutes after I started using it, so I have to rely on the kindness of friends to get me pictures this time around. I know there were some really good ones taken. Te tournament went ALL day on Saturday. We were there from 1130 till 8 PM and I know there were people there longer than we were. They sectioned the children by rank and then by age. SO I ended up with 4 kids in four separate rings and was running like a mad woman to see it all. because almost all of my kids are back belt and they are all different ages. my kids remember their favorite judges. I remember min she said she was proud of me because not only was I there but that all my family was involved that was a great thing. the judge I remember best was this little German lady with a VERY thick accent when she was trying to say all the Korean terms they were VERY hard to understand. She did the judging for Janet and Sydnie by the time sydnie was done though we pretty much could discern what she was saying.
As far as the tournament went all of us except for my husband and Christine had to redo the forms. We choked it wasn't pretty. Next time though we will know them and it won't be a problem. HOWEVER. when it came to sparring (which BTW I think I suck at) we did pretty well.
My son was in the gold metal round and so was I ( yeah I know you are shock too.) I lost by 2 and I think sean only lost by one. we both went full time. so Sean and I came out of sparring with silver metals.
(sorry about the quality of the pic they were all done on the camera phone when I get tournament stuff i will post it as well.)
Christine and Tyler came out with Bronze.
Janet and Randy both got honorable mentions and Sydnie got a gold (they all did they are cubs for heaven sake).
THe kids loved the pool at the hotel and I used the stair well as a personal gym so that I could keep up with my training. I jogged and walked over a mile in + 90 degree weather at 10 at night. TO hot from me thanks, the pool was a wonderful cool down though and I was grateful to have it.
The trip home was interesting, we took the LONG way home and went through white sands and Roswell NM. THe sand were fun for the kids and they really enjoyed playing in the sand and making sand angels and burying each other in the sand.
we had a light lunch there and then were on the road again .
Roswell is not as small as the show made it seem but they do like their Aliens .
There were Aliens on the light poles even.
Between white sands and Roswell I think we saw like 20 Catholic Missions. Some were big and grand and others were no more than a one room church. but thy dotted the indian reservation everywhere we looked.
I kept looking for LDS chapels but didn't see any :( I think they are few and far between put there. We were on the road all day and didn't get home till about 1 in the morning just to get up the next day and pretend we never left. My dd's went to a sleep over last night and today is life as normal though I wish it were not.

the road trip
Ok so we started at 830 and thought great we will be there by dinner. we said a prayer for safety and peace before we left. I mean think about it 9 people 1 van and no movies, what is the world coming to. LOL We got a pretty good clip down the road ( we were past pueblo) and something started to rattle. so we pulled over and checked things out and could see NOTHING. so we got back into the car thinking it was a peice of plastic that had just worked loose and fell off when se stopped. got the van going about 40 and the rattle starts again only worse. D thinks is has to be one of the tires so he gets out and takes some things apart and get back in the Van. NOPE not that. so then we take the engine cover off and drive for a while with an exposed engine and Me driving so DH can see what is up under the hood. The rattle is still there but we can't seem to see the problem. Oh and talk about a nail biter, me driving with hot pipes next to my flip flopped foot. YIKES.. Anyway we pull off and put the engine cover back on it isn't in the engine so there is no use in doing that any longer. He checkes the tires again and we are all but sure we have the problem fixed and down the road we go again, NOPE. once again it starts. I am now trying to see if it has something to do with the windshield wipers because it is so loud and annoying and something has to be done. As I am looking dh just happens to touch the ceiling and says it is on the ROOF. Ok now I am thinking our luggage rack is coming loose and we will have to stop again and fix that. We didn't it happened to be tht black plastic lining thing that keeps you windsheild in place. who would have thought. We pop it back in and go on our way. it wokes for a while then pops out again. and we have to stop and put it back. Finally we just stop at a checker buy glue and duct tape and glue the dang thing on and hold it thre with the duct tape. it took almost 2 hours of our trip and put us in Las cruces at 8 instead of 6. Now I am going to go unpack my stuff and go to bed.
I will let you all know how tomorrow goes tomorrow.
I will let you all know how tomorrow goes tomorrow.
WE are off
and as my mom would say " like a terd of Hurtles." we are on out way to a TKD tournament in Las Cruces NM. I am as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs and old ladies. I haven't been doing my Form for very long this is my first tournament and I so suck at sparing. I know I know possitive self talk but I am POSSITIVE that I suck at sparring.
Just Pray for us that we will be calm and have the knowledge to do our very best in all that we do, which includes our demonstration. I took the camera so I hope to be able to get some pics.

OK well
I didn't loose anything but, I am looking slimmer and my least fav. relative is visiting this week. I am sure that next week I will be down some more and more and more happy with what is happening with me and my body. I am watching the other gals struggle with this though and wonder when they will see results.
TKD in the News.
Our TKD studio has been busy this week we did the city fair last weekend and we have been asked to perform a demo on Saturday during the Tournament. The spree was cool though my head says it was way hot.
This is Micheal Mangarelli ( hope I spelled that right) breaking his board. My dd is the one on the far right.
I have a sun burn BAD and one of the demo team has a 2nd degree on his chest, me I won't be combing my hair for a day or 2. We got a GREAT booth though we were about 3 booths down from the Radio station and we did our demo's on the grass behind them,
they were great the announced the demos for us and were just so great, the guy from the morning show broke a board and now is all ga ga over being able to do that
so guess what he is having the instructor on this morning to talk about it and break another board so that he can get it on video. if they put the pics up on the site I will link to it.
This is the Demo we were doing you can see my Janet right up front then Sean right behind her and Tyler behind him. Up front is my hubbie (yeah the pale guy) and then WAY in the back you can see my red head. My dd blonde is fight in front of me.
I am kind of hoping the Mr. Tuck can Use his CHARM to convince this guy to come to some classes and there byu get yet another perso n hooked on this Terrific sport.

down, down, down, down.
another 2 bite the dust. yup you got it I am now down to just over 197 this time next wee I will be the lowest weight I have been in years and years. I can't remember the last time I weighted below 195. when I hit 190 I am going shopping for pretty things.
I have way more energy with the kids. you can see it. I can feel it. and I LOVE it. I can tell when I am eating like crap because my body HATES it. The depression is gone, don't get me wrong I miss my son, I miss my mom. But has become just that missing them. I don't dwell on the fact that I lost a child anymore. I miss him and I know I will have another that's it. It feels so great to say that. I cant wait to go to the DR again. I actually want to go there. I want him to see how great I feel and how well things are going.
I am sure I told you before but I am going to run a 5k on the anniversary of my mothers burial. I was talking to my brother this evening and he is telling my that it is in the bag, I love that he is so supportive of me and I can't wait to show him how great things are going. Muscles are starting to show themselves in places aI had all but forgotten. this is no hold bar the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I am going to add a ticker at the bottom now because I can. Because weight isn't scaring me.

one more week down
I can't believe I am still alive. I have now gone almost 3 weeks at spectrum and I feel great. Thursday into friday I noticed I have arm muscles and it is now hard not to drive and look at them at the same time friday the trainer noticed them.
The other one is that my kids have been out of school since the friday before memorial day and I still haven't Killed them. This is good considering the fact that the house like a tornado hit and they are usually fighting with each other. I am praying that I can get my act together and get these guys in shape before summer is out.

one more pound
I was only down one more pound today so I sat down with him and I am going to email him as soon as I am done here to see where I can cut the sugars, we think that is where things are going wrong but hey a pound is a pound and the more I work out the better it will be. So who is going to call me at 6 in the morning so that I have to get up cause once I am up it is no big deal to get outside and walk till I can't walk no more. di a lot of squats today so the butt has gotten its work out.

Ok, if you’ve made it through this, it’s your turn!
Of course I didn't have the camera
Yopu know the feeling just when you perform your best and do the best you have ever done on anything you don't have the camera with you. Well that was me last night.
We did our Demo team thing and of course I shattered both boards the first time and guess who didn't have a camera to catch the action. Me. I do have to say though that it was very exciting to be able to do that. I was really worried because during the demo at testing I didn't break till my 3rd go round and that can be embarrassing. I also have to remember to keep my mouth shut. I was trying to coach my kids and they are better at this than I am so I just need to remember to shut up. but all in all the demo when well and I broke 2 9 inch across one inch thick boards BOOYAH !!!!!!!!!

exercise thought and goals
First I must thank Anne for my first goal. When she put on her wedding dress I KNEW that is what I wanted. I want to be able to put my dress on and have it fit wonderfully. yes WHEN I get there you will be the first to see. 2 goal is a size 14 when i get there and still loose weight I will be over joyed, I really don't expect my body to do the twiggy thing. For me that really isn't realistic but I can expect to be a healthy toned person. Also I want to do a 5K at the end of August. I don't know why but to me that would mean I was a much healthier person. I am going to look for one sometime the end of August. If any of you know where I can look PLEASE do tell. I think if I get it marked and then have to do it then I will. I am hoping the at least one of my trainer would be willing to do this with me but we shall see.
I am finding that I really enjoy going to this class and look forward to that time in my day. Now I just need to make that the same for my morning cardio as well I do like the free step on the Wii but there are too many kids to do that and not feel weird. I could go back to the Gym and just get on the treadmill but that to me is REALLY boring. So I HAVE to figure out how do get my butt out of bed and then out the door before the crack o dawn on my own because I asked for a partner and didn't get one. so there you have it. I could go with the gal that signed us up for this torture bt she is at work at 3 in the morning and I can't make myself get up then. So out I go see you later for a journaling update.

One week down
11 to go. My my body is completely torn. I can tell it loves the exercise all ready. Although I wish I could do it with out being so sore right now. the trainer says that will go away more than likely by the end of 4 weeks and I will begin to wish it back,I have a hard time believing that. I have a cold and it has affected that soreness a little as well. I do love going though. Today on the way home I was thinking what is going to happen at the end of the 12 weeks when I CRAVE being there and no longer have the money to go. Not to mention the distance. My body is all ready transforming I have lost 2 pounds and more than likely more than that because of the muscles that are building ( muscle does weight more than fat). I find my self wanting my stomach in and keeping it in longer and longer.
I put my wedding dress up on my wall next to my bed and that is my goal and yes I will take a pick when I reach it.
If you would like to see the torture chamber they use to hurt us here it is.
http://www.spectrumwellness.org/photo_gallery.htm
if it doesn't link ( I am sure it won't because I ain't smarticle like that) copy and paste it and if you don't have the pics of the gym go to photo gallery and then gym.
soon I believe they are going to put up pics of the 4 of us as well and i will let you know when that is.
well off for a shower because I sweat like a pic and I have all ready eaten.

A Mothers day for My mom.
I am working on a mother's day gift for my mother. I know that I won't be able to do these songs as well as these people do them, and I think I always sound like there are marbles suck up my nose when I hear a recording but anyway. I know she would want me to sing them. she always thought I had a beautiful voice. I miss her so much right now. I couldn't even call my dad to tell him thank you for the wonderful flowers he sent that really made my day,
Anyway here are the songs I am working on singing. This first on is a song that never failed to be sang in the car when we went on vacations. even if it was only up logan canyon and took no more than an hour.
The second is the last thing I got from my mother for Mothers day. she gave me this Cd last year just about NOW when my Ky was blessed and they came for the blessing. I don't know if I will get through this for a while the last verse is a killer for me right now.
I have the first one done but I am not sure how to get it on here.

a temple trip
SO I went to the temple on Friday. I was really hoping to know what I was suppose to do next. Well I do feel now that this child that I lost was my son, I am also more than pretty sure I have more to come. That being said I was unable to know how many (though I hope not too many I don't think my brain can do much more) or when. I also had specific prayers and I know the words didn't come from me. Prayers that friends in pain would be led to the Dr's that would help them. Friends who were having some troubles making decisions, that there would be clarity to make those decisions clear. I am seeing at least some of those prayers happen all ready and I love that when you ask your HF that he takes the action necessary for what is needed. I continue to pray those prayers for those that need them and I will continue to make them specific as to help those that need. I found that in the temple I realized that I need to just worry about what I am doing to better our family and the rest will fall into place.
LOST
As in I have lost a baby. This is all I could think of at church today. about how true, and at the same time ironic that statement is. True because in a very really sense I lost something. I don't have anymore and I didn't purposely send it away. The irony came in the sense that I never REALLY had it. I mean how does one loose something they have never held in their hands or seen with their eyes. I only had him ( and yes i really feel this was my sweet son) in my heart. Funny how fast I could go from not really wanting to be preggers to fully looking forward to the little boy clothes at Christmas time ( buntings are so dang cute) and then having that seemingly ripped away. I can't put up lost posters there is nothing to find. People keep asking me what they can do for me. What can another do for a broken heart. There is a real hole there, thankfully I have my kids. They are a big help, most times without even knowing it. somewhat understand those that have chosen to fall in to depression and just let it consume them. Please don't worry about me. I am Ok as far as that goes, I promise. I have to much to do in this life to let that happen, but I do understand it.
anyway just some more blabber from the lost child.
anyway just some more blabber from the lost child.
Going Home
FOrgive me if this is a bit disjointed. I had these thoughts going north today and have to put them down before I forget them.
Like going back home
I am going on a trip that feeling like going home after being gone for a long time. Familiar sites and sounds come back,
As the miles pass behind.
Voices all but forgotten come flooding to my mind,
I find my self thinking fondly of things I left behind.
As I walk through the doors there are some slight differences,
But the feel is still the same.
Warm caring and peaceful, full of joy not pain.
Listening to wiser ones, and feeling their concern.
Hugs and touches of tenderness just when you need it most.
As I walk back through the doors, I vow it won't be long,
Before I return to this place, it feels like going home.
not real good I know but the words were there and I just had to get them out.

stop the ride.
When does it stop. When do I stop feeling my stomach and wanting the bay to still be there? when do the people stop telling me how sorry they are? The physical pain I know will go away but the emotional when does that end. When will I be to look at somebody when they ask me how I am and truthfully be able to tell them I am ok of fine( and I don't mean the Freaked out,insane. neurotic,and Emotional) When will people hear my voice and not ask if everything is OK? I know you all don't have the answers. I know I am just asking to hear myself think. I know this all has to do with me. Isn't it funny though how a grain of rice so tiny can connect and bond and need so much. Now the bond is the one that I need and it is no longer there, and I am left to wonder. Is that spirit so perfect that I will have to fight in this life to even be able to look on her or him. I my mother enjoying the spirit. Will I get to raise it or do I have to wait. Lets not even go into the whole physical pain that I pray will go away soon. the cramping that is bad enough to make me catch my breathe and have to take a pain pill that knocks me out just do deal with it. I wish and feel like I could go to bed for a week and just stay there.
Enough whining for now I am out.
Enough whining for now I am out.
I don't know what is worse
The cramping or the emotional pain. I have prayed and prayed and the only thing that has come to me so far is that I am being prepared. Prepared for what I don't know, just prepared. I mean in the last 6 months I have lost my mother gone through a major Gallbladder scare gotten PG and then lost that baby as well. I have 7 children and 2 dogs what on earth could he be preparing me for. All I know right now is I hurt bad enough that they might as well have placed t he baby in my arms and then tore him away from me telling me I was never going to see him again. and the questions it brings. Like was that my Bry and now he will never be here or was that another and I will have even more in the afterlife to care for and raise? To be honest I pray it is the later. As most of you know I have dreamed of another little boy for a LONG time. I don't know if I could bare not being able to hold him and raise him until I died.
Just when you get used to the idea.
That there is a live soul growing within you. It's gone. I misscarried this morning and all it does is make me miss my mother more. This is all I am saying for now. Maybe when I have some feeling back I will write more.
This may NEVER happen again
I do mean never. right now I am at home 100% alone. Not another child or husband in sight. See I have to take Jackie (the good dog) to her training class in an hour, so Randy took the other kids and went to demo team practice for TeaKwanDo and Christine is babysitting till around nine thirty tonight so that leaves me with just me. yeah me. Now what to do with the half hour I have before I leave. Hmm I could start soem more laundry and clean the floor, or I could read in my book. I think I will go half way and start some more laundry and then read in my book.
Off to have some peace for a while. It may be a LONG tiem before I get anymore.
Oh and Dh broke the vacuum so I don't have to vacuum the floor anyway.

ok so I need to find a life, right.
Ok there I said it.
I am insane and well more than a little worried. I mean really what was I thinking, I look at my husband in a seductive way and no matter the BC I am with child. So here I am again, I have gone through all the emotions since Monday when I thought maybe I was Tuesday when I was for sure that I wasn't, Wednesday when I knew for sure I was and didn't want to be Thursday and Friday coming to terms and yesterday and today knowing that it was not what I wanted but what Heavenly Father needed of me. I have no idea how all the things that will have to happen will happen but I know somehow they will. I know that somehow the basement the van my kids the dogs my ever expanding stomach potty training and everything else will somehow work out.
I want to personally thank Jeana and Tam who knew my dilemma and patiently waited for me to be ready to let the cat out of the bag so to speak. I knew I was ready when a wonderful sister sat down next to me for no reason in particular and put her arm around me and let me know that there was light at the end of the tunnel. This was Anne's mom and I figured if anyone could make me feel at ease it would be her.
Oh I am right about one thing. This Will be the last, I feel it in my heart.

Mixed emotions
I am really upset and hurt and yet at the same time I am glad it sold. I spent all day yesterday trying to find a way to pick up some carpet that I had purchased at a moving sale. They wouldn't take a check so I went and got cash from the ATM ( actually loosing the Debit card in the ATM) and came back with the cash. I had them write sold on it and told them as soon as I could find a way to pick it up I would be back for it. Well I had some trouble getting a truck,but and I eventually just ended up using my van with the seats folded this morning. Got there to pick it up and guess what. EVEN though I had someone else write SOLD on both the Carpet and the Pad. they couldn't get a hold of me and sold it again anyway. They SAID they tried calling me but used my old number. Ok I can see that but did they even think too look in the online directory to get a hold of me or leave me a message? NOPE. Who does that. I will tell You who. A woman who's main goal in life is to have things done her way that no matter what they have to be done in that way. So when I didn't come and get it yesterday she decided that I hadn't paid for it and she was going to sell it, because nobody that was there had taken my money. Not even I was sure who I had given the money to I only knew that I got 19 dollars in change because I bought 4 magic tree house books. which cost me one dollar. However I am happy that it sold this will go a long way to helping out this gals ALS.
which is why th mixed emotions. I am frustrated that they didn't really TRY to get a hold of me but at the same time I Know it went somewhere it was needed and will be put to use Either way it helps out the gal it needed to help thanks for letting me vent I just needed to get it off my chest.
On to your regularly scheduled program.

OH HELL
ok sorry for those of you that have sensitive ears and don't like the swearing but OH HELL and the whole just about every little swear word that I can think of right now.
Background over the last couple weeks several things have happened. Lets start with the 2 year old temper tantrum you know The one where you are jumping up and down with your arms flying like you would fly if you could. All over the fact that my son would not figure out the long division I was trying to teach him. Then lets move to the fact that all I want to do is sleep in. I pray for the snow days because I don't have to get out of bed and yet I can't seem to make myself go to bed at night. Add to that the I just don't want to do anything with anything. Including literally taking a week off of Laundry. The mood swings have been off the chart. Add to that the Heart burn that keeps me up when I do decide it is time for bed. Then there is the on again off again stomachache with diarrhea. Now add the PG test that I took JUST TO MAKE SURE, it came out negative. Ok so now your thinking that maybe i have the flu and I need to go the the Dr and have some thyroid tests and talk about depression right. Yup Right there with Ya. SO now skip to today when, as I am nuking the maui onion chips with cheese to eat with Ranch dressing, I had the thought go get that test. Yup 2 pink lines one Strong and one just a really faint pink. What are the odds that it could still be negative? SO I called My very best Friend and asked her what were the chances and she said the same thing I thought. Slim to none, slim to none.

I got "Anned"
a little background. There is Mental disabled woman in our ward. she is very sweet but only have about the brain ability of I would say an 8 maybe nine year. she can still still for a while but always ends up having to do go and do something. she leads the music for RS and her mother is there as well. She gets very excited and it is very hard fro her to talk The thing is that everyone loves Anne there is no getting around it she is just very sweet and she is so close to HF that it is exciting having her around. One more thing if Anne Knows you, you are getting a hug.
I guess I found the key because I have now been "Anned". Anne's hugs are not your typical quick hug. Nope when the spirit moves her to hug she hangs on till SHE feel like you have been hugged enough. Then she will inevitably tell you about something pretty and that she liked something you did. So anyway yesterday I finished my talk and snuck down to sit with the kids, so my dh could do his talk. After the meeting there was Anne One look and I knew what she wanted. It was my turn to be "Anned" I got my hug and then she started to tell me that I had on a pretty.( she liked my necklace) I told her that her pretty was prettier and that send her away laughing. Through out the day she noticed my family time and again for three hours. It was that is your daughter and that is your husband and that is your son. SOO pretty.
I love Anne and I hope every one has an Anne some where in there lives.

My talk
Ok so this may not be the greatest but it is what it is.
Good morning brothers and sisters I will give a BRIEF family introduction, as brief as I can anyway, and then go on to my talk.
Many of you know me and my family due to the fact that I must look some sort of a sheep herder walking through the halls of the church. If you don't My name on the records of the church is Margaret Lee White Shumway. However if you were to call me by that Name, I would spin suddenly, looking for my grandmother. My Aunt renamed me Mar'Lee at a very young age and that is the only name I have ever gone by.
I met My husband, Randy in 1991 through his wonderful younger sister and my best friend, in the LDS institute @ USU, not another byu romance but close. We were married Jan 3 1992, in the Logan temple. We moved in March of that year to Tacoma WA where the first of our now 7 Children were born. Christine came in to our world one day before her due date on Nov. 2 1994. Then came tyler in Blackfoot Idaho, the earliest and scariest for me on Aug 6th 96 he was 5 ½ weeks early. Then Sean on April 26 98, Janet on Jan 2 2000 and Sydnie on April 22 2002 all born in various Ut locations each with their own set of special circumstances. Then to CA where Brianne messed up my math by coming in an odd year on April 2 2005, we then moved 2 “The springs” and were blessed with Kyla on May 1 2007. yup almost 1 year ago. Somehow I have managed to have a child just about every other move we have made, you do the math, the good news I don't think we are moving again anytime soon. Now Let me answer the question that some of you are asking. We are not military, nor do I think are we nomads.
As you know our FAMILY has been asked to speak on how following the scriptures blesses our everyday lives.
To see these blessings, I thought that first it would be nice to have a definition of what the scriptures are. Using the wonderful recourses available to me through the church websites. I found this on the LDS facts page for BYU studies.
How do Latter-day Saints define the idea of "scripture"?
I will paraphrase.
Latter-day Saint scripture is substantially larger than the traditional. It includes the "standard works."which are The old testament New testament book of morman, doctrine and covenants and the Pearl of great price. Although "scripture" usually denotes written documents, in LDS sources it is also defined as "whatsoever [God's representatives] shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost" (D&C 68:2–4), which implies an acceptance of modern-day prophetic revelation as scripture. Latter-day Saints bind themselves by covenant to obey scripture, but they are also assured that important records will yet come to light. Importantly, Latter-day Saints understand that scriptures are a result of divine revelation to prophets and that individuals must study the scriptures and seek personal revelation in order to understand their immediate meaning and relevance.
So to My understanding. This means that Not only are the standard works something that blesses us but also each talk we hear in conference or each story we read in the ensign, a primary song or hymn, can bless our lives as well.
I have to admit when Brother Muffler gave us this subject, the first thing that went through my mind was “ I am the last person on the planet who should give this talk, I am NOT by any means great at scripture study, and I struggle just to read one story in the Ensign most days. But the next thought that came into my head was “be thou humble”. Hey wasn't that a scripture?. I couldn't at the time tell you what scripture, or where to find it, but I knew it was scripture and that I needed to be humble and accept the task given to me. OH by the way and that scripture is Doctrine and covenants 112:10
because I was unsure that I could fill the time given me for this talk. I asked some of my friends how the scriptures have blessed their lives. These where some of their responses.
My friend in Las Vegas who some how knows Isaiah better than anyone in my generation, she just seems to have a connection to him. When I can't understand a passage in Isaiah I know I can call her. She can almost always explain it. She simply says “the scriptures are my rock”.
from a friend to the East of here,” I have a testimony that reading the Scriptures daily provides me with comfort and strength during some of the most difficult times in my life. At those times when I felt that I had nowhere to turn, I would often look forward to that time each day where I would be able to lose myself in the Scriptures. Doing so would give me the renewed strength to keep moving forward even when I wanted to give up.”
From “The Oakwood ward”.” I don't read as much as I should. When I do, everything goes better. When I don't, I'm on my own, and it's not a pretty thing. It's hard enough to be a mom even when you do have the Spirit with you. When you don't, well, you know how it goes”.
I thought of a couple of scriptures as I read their testimonies. this is the one that seemed to stick. Psalms. 62: 2. He only is my rock and my salvation, These wonderful woman have found this blessing.
finally a friend I lovingly call my big brother, he lives in Alaska. “I work among some of the less than religious people in the construction industry. Some may say this is a curse that makes keeping my testimony difficult. It does not. I look at my coworkers and see the giant void in their lives and work harder to keep it filled in mine. I have a great love for those who have gone before and, for some, even died that I may have the scriptures to enjoy. I am not one that fervently studies the scriptures like I should, but the knowledge of what they are worth is still there. I also have a firm knowledge of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. I know that Nephi truly existed and saw the things he saw and did the things he did. In the book of Mormon, an angel shows Nephi all the inhabitants of the world. Now I am sure that any righteous angel would still have a good sense of humor, and building on that I am sure that if a man in this time honked and waved at Nephi, said angel would surely show Nephi this man. I honk and wave about 4-5 times a week just to make sure I make it easy on the angel. This is how sure I am that these stories in the Book of Mormon truly happened”.
I love the honesty in his testimony. He knows the joy and strength that the scriptures bring him, he is a bit of a nut, but he is blessed daily and kept strong with his faith.
Though I haven't FORMALLY studied the scriptures in a LONG time. I have been blessed by them. when I do read the scriptures at times I can see the story unfold around me like a movie, in Alma 24:17 I can feel the commitment of the Lamanites when they chose to bury their swords never to fight again.
Then later in chapter 53. I felt the joyful anguish only a mother can feel, when each of the 2000 stripling warriors took up arms. It must have been hard for each of them to let their child go, to do what was right for the better good. As weird as it sounds it has always been my prayer that someday I will feel that with my boys, and maybe my daughters, as They go off on a mission. In modern times modern revelation has helped me confirm my desire to be home for my children and husband. It is my choice instilled in me as a YW and young wife,I have never had any desire to change that. It is my knowledge of the eternities through the scripture s that has helped me not only to let the spirits who have chosen me to teach them, but also to know that there will be a day that I will be able once again to put my arms around my mother, whom lately I truly miss, and tell her face to face how much I love her along with my aunt and grandfathers and all those who have gone before. It is scriptures that help me teach my children the principles of gospel. Baptism, Eternal Marriage, unconditional Love, service, Missionary Work the list goes on and on..
It is the scriptures and the knowledge of this gospel that have made my testimony as strong as it is. I know that the boy Joseph saw our father in heaven and his son our brother Jesus Christ. I know that it was through the power of Heavenly Father that Joseph smith translated the Book Of Mormon, for Us to learn from. I know that Joseph smith was a man of God that he follow Heavenly fathers direction with steadfast fath. And I KNOW that President Monson has been called of god to be our modern day prophet. To bring us those scriptures that we need to heed in this day. It is my prayer that we will not only be blessed but that we will regonize those blessing in our day to day lives. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
well there ya have it. Let me know what ya think.
Well I was right
I have 4 black belts. I am so proud of them. I can't even begin to describe what this has done for my kids. I have a dd that if she didn't have TKD may still be hiding in a shell and pulling at her hair in desperation of who know what.
I have a son that even though there are days when he gets to me. most of the time for an 11 year old boy he is very respectful and well behaved
I have a dd that I will really not have to worry too much about( sorry it is a mom thing it isn't going to stop the worry) when she goes on dates in 2 years ( OMHeavens ). She will be able to take care of herself.
Sean well, Sean is Sean always will be but I think he is more extroverted then normal.
Not to mention the fact that I can't even tell you how much I seriously think that this is more healthy than I have ever been.
Oh and Randy and I passed as well. So Randy is now a red belt and I am a seinior blue belt.

who would have thunk it.
I was watching a movie that I thougth would never have led me to a Christ theme, but it did. I was watching LOTR where Sam and Frodo are on Mount Mordor. Frodo is ready to give up and just die and Sam asks if he can remember the Shire, Frodo says No I see nothing but the eye even when waking. Sam then looks at him and says "Then let us be rid of it for good". And this is where I start to cry. Sam puts his arms under Frodo and says " I may not be able to carry this for you but I can carry you." That got me thinking that this is somewhat what christ has done for us. When the brurden is just more than we think we can bare he is there lifting us into his arms and carrying us until we can again carry our burdens.
Ok so I might be tired but there you have the LOTR turned churchy.

Oh Thank Goodness.
I have spent a crazy 2 days in and out of Dr's offices and hospitals. My Baby, my sweet little Ky ky is sick. Very sick, they were all but possitive yesterday, and so was I, that my sweet little girl would spend her first night in the hospital. Even the Techs that took her blood work and chest Xrays said she didn't look good and that they would see me later. It was seeming more and more like Pnuemonia was the only out look, they even sent us home with the diagnosis of a mild pnuemonia and told me that if it even acted like it got worse to go back to the ER and they would admitt. I called my husband on the way home, got her perscription and prayed. We got her a blessing and I prayed some more. Her fever never broke it just hovered around 101, 102 but her breathing slowed finally and she slept.
This morning we went back to the the Dr's and he told us that the offical diagnosis is Broncitis
with the threat of turning into Pnuemonia, that was why all the urgency yesterday. her fever is
coming down it is now around 100 and holding and she has a super snotty nose but she is a wake
and moving around.
Thank you so much, my friends, for all your prayers on her be half. she isn't out of the woods yet but the trees are thinning and you can see the sun. I know with all my heart that your prayers helped my sweet little girl, and me, through this.
On another note. I missed my mom BAD yesterday. She would have been here with me through this holding my hand and letting me know it would be OK. There were even reminders of her there while we were there. In the form of a group of nursing students and their teacher wald through the lobby to the little cafe' with their white uniforms and sensible shoes. I knew she was there. It helped me so much. I held together so well, I knew that was my mom too.
I my wonderful friend said yesterday the veil was so very thin yesterday just when I needed and she needed that comfort.

Long time no see
Yeah I know on my end. so here is the deal. I am trying out a new thing. It is called not getting on the comp all the time. How ever i did have to get on and show you all what a wonderful week I have had. I have also been trying to find the good in things I am having trouble with. I started with my husband. Lately we have been have some disagreements and I have decided to just let it go. so this week I saw what a wonderful man he is and just how much some times that he puts up with. my kids are home for 2 weeks of spring break and I have had some NASTY pms the week before that. Well my dh took at least one pf them to work with him all week so that I could find some time to get some cleaning done with out having kids fighting all the time. He has cuddled with me and just let me be and that has made a huge difference in my attitude.
Next on the list My kids, mom, and dad, Tested this weekend. I am pretty sure that Senior blue is mine.
I am also pretty sure that I will have 4 yes count them 4 probationary black belts. ( sorry for the blurry pics they were really moving)
My husband on the other hand is worried that he didn't do so well and there for will not be getting his red belt. I am not sure he did have to do some things over a few times.
Now on to the BIG ONE. My dd Janet got baptized this weekend. It has been a long time since I actually got to be in the dressing room with one of my kids getting baptized and just after. What a feeling of peace and awe. I knew at the moment as I helped her dry off and get into her dress that she was as perfect as the day she was born, I even saw the day she was born in my mind.
She looked so beautiful in her white jumper that matched her father's. I guessed I have never really listened to the words of scripture power but yesterday they made me cry as I was trying desperately to lead the music. That was the song she choose as her closing song. We waited so that my father could be there with us when we did the baptism and I was so glad that he could make that.
Being out here there were not a lot of family that we know so the whole big baptism thing just wasn't going to happen.
She even tried to invite some non members that couldn't make it, but I was still so proud of her for trying.
Who knows what will happen this week and what we will here from our new Prophet but I am excited to hear from him and throw my hand in the air sustaining him..... I felt a person reassurance that he was the man HF had chosen that I could sustain him and know it was HF's will.
I hope this month finds all my friends well and happy. I will try to get back sooner.

TAKE THAT
ok If I can think of a different title I will change it. It is just that I did the most amazing thing this morning.
I got in a war with Dh this morning ( call them wars but really I thing they are just nerves) and I was really angry he said some stupid things he shouldn't I said things I shouldn't have. Anyway when I got to the Gym I was NOT in a good mood.
This was to be my first board breaking and I was not sure that I could even break it let alone not leave with a body full of bruises. He had us do it with a target and then we could do it with a board. Lets add to that that I have a VERY new board and had never used or broke it before.
we all lined up to do the breaks and I asked the black belts to take my board I figured if somebody was going to break it it would be them and not me. I was so right I got up with someone elses board, told them my name, my age(yikes), the techniques I was doing, and asked to set up my board for the first break. I swear I set up and just did it. broke a hammer fist on a blue board(represents thickness) the first time. Set up and broke a #2 front kick the first time. I tell nothing puts you in a better mood then breaking something you don't think you can.
I got in a war with Dh this morning ( call them wars but really I thing they are just nerves) and I was really angry he said some stupid things he shouldn't I said things I shouldn't have. Anyway when I got to the Gym I was NOT in a good mood.
This was to be my first board breaking and I was not sure that I could even break it let alone not leave with a body full of bruises. He had us do it with a target and then we could do it with a board. Lets add to that that I have a VERY new board and had never used or broke it before.
we all lined up to do the breaks and I asked the black belts to take my board I figured if somebody was going to break it it would be them and not me. I was so right I got up with someone elses board, told them my name, my age(yikes), the techniques I was doing, and asked to set up my board for the first break. I swear I set up and just did it. broke a hammer fist on a blue board(represents thickness) the first time. Set up and broke a #2 front kick the first time. I tell nothing puts you in a better mood then breaking something you don't think you can.
Round and round the
shumway house the virus chased the family. It first caught 2 and then 2 more. Up goes the temps.
Yup 2 more have now got the nasties. I am seriously praying and praying and praying that I don't get this.
For those of you wondering what is going on. Sunday Sean and Randy stayed home from church with the baby. She was teething and Sean just didn't feel right his body hurt. Monday same thing just hurt all over. That evening a small fever showed up and then a big fever showed up the next morning 103.6 so I called and took him in. She gave him a full work over including swabbing his nose for the flu and throat for strep. All came back negative. In the mean time Randy with what seemed to be a bad cold headed for Santa Fe and was there for the day. Came home in a nasty snow storm and got home at 1 or 2 in the morning. The next 2 days they both stayed in bed while I waited on them hand and foot. EVEN ON MY BIRTHDAY.
Today Randy headed to work I got a hair cut and my son stayed on the couch till about 2 when Randy came home and got him and headed to the Dr's office.
They now both have prescriptions for codeine cough syrup and amoxicillin. so I am now wondering how long I wait till take the next 2 in and get them the same thing.

Told You I would return and report.
SO this is where I was lead.
WORD OF WISDOM
as interpreted by me.
section 89 of D&C
section 89 of D&C
The first thing that hit me is that this isn't a commandment but more of a guideline (seems to me we had a discussion about this on one of the boards I frequent), but that it is the will of our father in Heaven for the return to him of our bodies. this is in verse 2
It comes with a promise and has been adapted for us. ( so do you think maybe it was harder before JS.)V3 Itis a result of the bad things that were done ( dang those tobacco spitting men) and it to be used as a warning. v4 The wine thing I know was chanfed later and the next verse makes that clear. V5 I cross referanced Prov. 20:1 Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging and whosoever is decieved thereby is not wise. (this totally explains drunk stupid people.) It is to be used for washing. ( I am thinking rubbing alcohol because I would hate to smell like rum)V7
Tobacco is not for the Body or belly of man but for sick cows. (ewe )V8
Hot drinks are not for the body( oh please don't let that mean hot chocolate and herb tea) V9
Herbs are used for nature and Man. ("sigh" that means the herb tea is cleared, wonder if chocolate should be an herb?)V10
EVERY herb and fruit in thier season is to be used with understanding and thankfulness ( this one I had look up so I went laymans terms) V11
To me this was the big one you know eat meat don't eat meat how do we eat meat when do we eat meat. so here we go. Fleash(meat) of beasts and fowl are for man to be used with Thankfulness and sparingly.V12 BUT not only in times of winter or need. V13
ALL grain is to be used for man and beast, it is the staff of life for ALL that live and breathe.V14 (this next came as a shock to me) THESE (grains) are to be used ONLY in times of famine and excess hunger. ( wow the staff of life is for famine? hmm How much have I eaten all ready today? )V15
all grain is for man and as is fruit( didn't he all ready say that guess it needed to be said again)V16 1Then he explained the grains and made me happy by talking about barley being used as a mild drink (yeah Postum) V17
THen comes that promise he talked about. for those that keep these things in thier hearts (again layman terms) and use them will have health and strength in their bones. V18 They shall find wisdom and great treasures of Knowledge. (for me I am hoping this means that all the thinking power I had as a teenager(LOL) will come back even after 7 kids.) V19 They shall run and not be weary and shall walk and not faint( kind of self explanatory) V20 The destorying angel Shall pass by (Long Life)
I guess this has been the desires of my heart lately because this is where I was lead and so I studied and pondered it. The words written here are the conclusions I have come to, I am not saying they will be your conclusions but they are mine. I pray that you will read and pray for your self. BTW as I came to these conclusions the spirit burned in my chest and I have missed that feeling for soooo long.
Now I just need to adapt this and use it in daily life, I have a feeling that if I can do this, the weight that is plaguing me ( i really don't want to die like my mother) will be resolved.

I feel like I am failing.
and that I am disappointing HF in helping to return his children back to him. I have kids that steal and don't think twice about it, in fact they can come up with a lie so fast it would make ones head spin. So all ready I am a down by 2. My house looks like a tornado quite right on top of it. You know like in Twister where the tornado stops and all the stuff falls right where it is, that would be my house. I am so impatient when it comes to spiritual stuff with my kids that I can't stand to do it for very long and I am afraid that my kids know that and so try harder to annoy me when I try and do the right thing. I know it is just the debil trying to put me down but right now he is doing a mighty fine job. Ok that is enough for the night I am going to go and read a random page of scripture. I will let you know what I find.
The woodhouse family.
On ABC tonight they showed the woodhouse family and you may notice below the house picture, this was their house. My home is the one they lost. I have met and talked with Kimberly myself and know what a kind and sweet spirit she is. I know the prayers she prayed to have a family that needed he home. Prayer that we answered for her and she answered for us. I wish and pray for them all the best in this life and the next.
He is out of the dog house (for now)
My Dh has completely redeemed himself. He spent about 80 bucks last night with me. He took me out on a surprise date. We went to the theater and he bought Imax tickets to I am Legend. we had an hour and a half till show time so He took me to a sushi and steak bar. That is where you sit at the grill and the artist's ( can't think of a better word for them) cook your Japanese dinner in front of you. Our's was named Taco and he was so funny, and OMHeavens the food was FANTASTIC. I don't know if they have a AI (means love) but if they do you have got to try it. I had hibachi Chicken and shrimp with steamed rice ans he had garlic steak, and we shared a California roll I love sushi. We ran back to the theater (yes it took that long) and watched I am legend. The first 30 minutes of the movie I had to get used to how big and clear the picture was it made me a little sea sick. then I was sad at the end because dang it the good guy is suppose to win and live dang it. sorry if that is a spoiler to anyone. Next I am going to go and get my running shoes so that when I get upset with my kids I don't have to worry I am just going for a run.
I may never know.
I just turned myself back around from going to the one place I truly wanted to be. I was going to go to TKD I was ready had all the in my car had the children bribed to be good and everything. Pulled out of the driveway praying again that they would be safe and my entire body said turn around and for the first time in a long time that is what I did. Now if all my kids were awake and dressed I would still have them in the car on the way to TKD and things would be fine I am sure but I am not going to risk whatever may happen because I didn't listen. I may never know why I am not going but at least I know that I did the right thing.
so this is my house
I am not ready for you to see the inside yet ( I need to do some kind of decorating) but this is the out side of our house.
I am trying to optimistic as seen by the watermelons at my entryI had a bench there and will again soon I hope right it is being used in my kitchen due the the breakage of 2 chairs. this winter. More to follow as I improve my home.

So your husband is assistant cubmaster.
What does this mean for you. I will tell you what it means. It means on pack night he comes home early and you get to run to the store for everything that he forgot to get. Like an arrow and a tom tom and a poster board with an arrow drawn on it.
Ok now here is an interesting fact. After Christmas Wal*mart has NO arrows Not even the little toy dress up kind. and they don't have toy drums either (unless you want the whole music se and then you can get the one you hit with your bum oh and your 3). They didn't even have the LED lights that we needed.
SO as said wife of the cub master here is what I did (thank you Jeana). I went to hobby lobby grabbed a dole, some leather, and an arrowhead ( and yes they had those) then I grabbed some feather and other decorations and I did this.
The leather needs a bit of stretching but it worked great and the arrow will be the one used for the whole year.

So I got to thinking.
The goals I set are great but only one of them will benefit me emotionally and that is only if I loose the weight that is now plaguing me.
I was reading this morning and my friends have their dd's playing guitar. I used to so love to play the guitar. I just never stuck with it. I have a sad lonely guitar my mother gave me up in my closet and I think it is time that it came out of hiding. I think I will be going to get a learn to play book from the music store after TKD and I am going to teach myself to play again. I know that good music soothes the hear and i have always love the sound of guitar music. I just wish I hads someone to call me and ask me how often I have practiced this week. LOL
