Thoughts From a Frazzled Mind

August flew by!  I can't believe how fast the summer is racing by!  Pretty soon it will be fall and then winter - YUCK! Bubba went to the dentist and had 8 cavities!  In order to fill them all the dentist decided to put him under anesthesia so that it wouldn't be so traumatic.  He did a GREAT job and didn't even cry when they gave him his injection. They first gave him a shot that made him really tired and loopy. Then he fell asleep - but his eyes were wide open!  After the procedure he was a little slow to recover from the effects of the anesthesia.  He talked like he was drunk and his vision was blurry.  He kept telling us that he needed to get glasses! He was very brave, and I'm quite proud of him!  Both Bubba and Shandra had a FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.  Bubba is in a combined first and second grade class and Shandra is starting college. I am extremely proud of both of them! I allowed myself to be lured into th...

I had a wonderful lunch with Jodi and Carol. I went to the Logan temple with a Shanne I played fun games with Cyn and her daughters I cooked successful dinners! (notice the plural!)

Spending time on my computer!  I am totally addicted and almost go into withdrawals if I don’t spend some time computing each and every day! I can't plan anything without checking my "google calendar"  because my life is scheduled there.   I have to keep up with all of my friends on Facebook because you never know what interesting things are going on in their lives.   Email is vital to see if I have won any money from a sweepstakes that I didn't enter as well as to check what stores are having sales.  In addition, I need email to keep me up to date on airline fares in case I want to travel.   Pinterest has SO many good ideas!  I need to pin several each day (most of which I will never use!) My addiction includes playing computer games, in fact, I had to totally remove Candy Crush from my computer because I couldn't stop playing - and - I found that I started getting violent if I got interrupted or if someone made a move for me! I never wa...

I have learned that I “kind of” like to cook – as long as I don’t have to choose what to cook and if I have all the ingredients available    I have learned that if I get REALLY tired, I can’t function at all!  All I do is worry and cry. I have learned that overcoming a bad habit or addition takes a very long time and process is very slow, but even little steps in the right direction give hope I have learned that I enjoy reading blogs from people who write about gospel principles in ways that help me to understand and live them better.  My new favorite blog can be found  here

I am attracted to people who like to laugh and to have fun – but not when they are laughing at someone else’s expense or being mean. I like people who are not afraid to be silly.  I am attracted to people who have good moral values, who are kind and thoughtful.

For some reason I have always wanted to go to Australia.   I’m not even sure why!  It is just something that Kim and I have talked about since we have gotten married!  Maybe because it is so far away Maybe because I love to hear Australians speak with their beautiful accent Maybe because their seasons are totally opposite from ours Maybe because I like “Crocodile Dundee” I really don’t know why, but hopefully one day I will get there and find out
