Back to the Academy

So today we went to church for Sacrament only and it was so full that the overflow spilled into the gym. I couldn't belive how many people where there today. Anyway today Dale heads back to the Academy for week two of training. I hope this week goes better and faster than last week.

Lazy day at home

We did absolutely nothing today. We spent the whole day just hanging out as a family. It was wonderful.

Memory Preservation Day

So today we had scrapbooking at church and since the kids are out for summer vacation they came with me. They were really good and so I took them out to lunch as a reward. They loved that. Today Dale came home from his first week at the academy and he said it was a long bad week. I guess this is their weeding out week cause he said it was like being back in Basic training all over again. I had to give him a pep talk and let him know he can do this. I am so glad he is home. Now I will sleep better. I hope anyway. We didn't do much today once he got home. Just let him unpack and start laundry.

Wednesday Hodge Podge

1. What is something about living in this country that you value?

("this country" is what ever country you live in)

I value the fact that we are able to freely say what is on our minds not only as a woman but as am american. I don't know what I would do if I lived somewhere where my oppion was not valued for what it was worth.

2.What is a favorite something you own that is red, white and/or blue?

That would have to be these cute new little earing that I just picked up the other day that are Red white and Blue hearts inside each other.

3. Do you fly a flag at your house on Patriotic holidays?

I would if I had a place to put it but living in an apartment give me restrictions that I have to follow.

4. What ingredents do you think should be included in a great picnic basket?

I think it is really up to the person making the basket as to what goes in it but my personal favorites are potato salad and corn on the cob and ribs.

5. What is one interesting piece of trivia you know? Interesting is of course a relative term.

My son came to me the other day and said " Mom did you know that a pearl is the start of a baby oyster. And you wear them as jewlery." Now I don't know if that is right or not but it really got me thinking about my jewlery collection. Ha ha ha.

6. Wednesday May 24th is National Escoargot day...have you ever tried them? Eww or Ooh?

No I have not tried them, nor am I planning on trying them. I am going with Ewwwww.

7.What is one thing you know for sure?

Something I know for sure is that kids are the best gift any mother can get. They are honest to a point and are a sorce of uncondtional love all the time. No matter what happens they always put a smile on my face for something.

8.Insert your own random thought here.

Its not the load that breaks you down

Its how you carry it.

Bad day

So today started off alright but as the day went on this migraine of mine just got worse and worse. I tried to ignore it but it just wasn't happening. I went with Mindy and picked up the kids from school since they only had a half day anyway then we headed over to a re-store to look at a couple of things. By the time we were done with that I was feeling pretty crappy so I had Mindy take us home and I took some meds and headed to bed. I slept for about three hours and when I woke up I couldn't talk but my migraine was gone. I hate when I get sick.

Last Day of School

Well really they have a half day tomorrow which I don't understand cause they are only there for a couple of hours then they come home. Anyway I spent most of the day hanging out with Mindy at home and then after the kids got home from school I started on my new summer fun. I am making hand made- well really machine made- quilts for the kids. I thought they would love that. Other than that I didn't do much today. Just missing my hubby. Thurday needs to come faster.

Last day

So today is the day. Dale leaves for the academy at 2:00 so we only went to sacrament at church today. On our way out I ran into Jenna Khan. I have not seen her in so long. She looked great. We have so much to catch up on. For those who don't know Jenna and I went to camp together. She was one of the girls I was over my first couple of years. I miss seeing her. I hope to see her more often.

Anyway after we left we came home and ate lunch and Dale finished packing for the academy. He loaded everything into my car and we headed out at 1:30. I sure am going to miss him this week. I know he will be home on Thursday night but that seems so long away. Let's hope it goes fast.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. Annalise went into labor this morning. I can't believe it. It is a rare thing for a woman to go into labor on her due date. Most either start just before or just after. That is great. I hope her and the baby are fine.
