You Are Mulan!

Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Laundry

Ok, so I dont know about the rest of you, but I HATE laundry. Moving into the town house didnt help the matter much either. We all live on the top floor and the washer and dryer are all the way downstairs. So I have to do 2 flights of stairs to bring down the dirty and 2 to bring up the clean. Needless to say it never seems to be done!!! I am very proud to say that besides the clothes we all have on, the last load is in the dryer!! YIPPPEEEE. I have to enjoy it for the few hours that it is done all the way.





Well tomorrow marks the first day of "Summer Vacation". I have two kids that I am watching and we sat down today and set up a schedule to follow to maybe help the days go by a little easier. I have to try and find some fun craft things to do. We are going to go to every park in Tooele once a week. We are doing the PTA movies thing so that is going to help. The problem that I am finding is the age difference. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Update on Hot Dogs

So tonight I could not think of what to make for dinner, so Mason looked in the cupboard and said "lets have Chilli" well what goes with Chilli? Hot Dogs and I said to myself it will be ok........Well I cut them up into very very small pieces and tried to eat it. But it got the best of me and my nerves took over and I could NOT eat them. Hot dogs are such a staple in our home that I thought I needed to just try it again but I could not. I guess we will have to wait for another day.

Backyard BBQ

I love this time of year. It is so nice to take out the BBQ and cook up some hotdogs and have a yummy simple dinner. WELLLL as of last night we will NOT be doing that again for a really long time.

What is a foreign body of the throat?
Foreign objects can become stuck in either the trachea (wind pipe) or the esophagus ( tunnel in which food passes into the stomach). In either case, the person's ability to breathe properly can be seriously impaired. Insufficient chewing, and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol with eating can lead to a blocked esophagus. In children, objects such as peanuts, beans or seeds can block either of these important tubes.

So this is the paper that they gave ME at the ER last night after I checked myself in. Yes I had a stupid hot dog stuck in my throat. Now we had just sat down to eat dinner and I took one bite!!! yes just one bite and started to choke!!! Rick helped by hitting me on the back and it all came back, so we thought. I could talk and breath but I could not swallow anything!! Including my own saliva. We called over to the doctors office and they said you need to go to the ER because you might exasperate. I was NOT going to go. But the more I tried to make it go down, the worse it got. So we went over and they gave me an IV with some meds to relaxe my muscles and hopefully that would help it go down. That was not working so they told me that they were going to need put me out and take me to the OR and be scoped!!!! HOLY COW all because of a stupid hot dog!!! The nurse came in to check my vital signs and it all of sudden felt different. I said " I think that it passed" so the doctor had me try to drink some soda and it went down. Then they had me eat a soda cracker and drink more soda and if it went down ok they would release me. YEAH I didnt have to go to the OR.

On a better note Matt had his "Dance Festival" today and it was so much fun. His grade danced the Virgina Reel. Every one had a really good time.

Goals for the next year

Well I think I am going to start a new thing, and every year on my birthday set new goals for the next year. A few things I really want to do is change my weight. I went shopping last night to spend my birthday money, and it was really sad I had to go up two sizes!!!! Now dont get me wrong, I am not unhappy with who I am, I just want to slim down. I went to bed last night with the idea of getting up and walking before Rick went to work, but it didnt happen. I did walk the kids to school, but I need to do more. I just have to find a way to motivate myself?? Any ideas?

A few other things, I want to get better at studing the scriptures. I want to learn more of the stories about the people. I want to work on my food storage. I want to work on my 72 Hours kits. I guess I have a few things to do.

Scary Movie???

Ok, so we bought a new movie yesterday. My husband and I were trying to decide if it would be to "scary" for the boys to watch. I remember when it came out it was very scary for me, and also for my husband. So we agreed to let the boys try and watch it. Now I can just imagine you are all thinking what movie could I be talking about right? Yes the movie was Gremlins. The boys laughed their heads off they were not scared at all. I guess technology has sure changed
( ok so I tryed to put a youtube or just a a pic of the movie but I cannot figure out how to do it???)
