I got the ones with the words...

Over the past year or more we have been trying, unsuccessfully to have another baby. Every other month I would skip, get my hopes up, take a bunch of tests and then nothing.

This time, I splurged on the digital tests. Hoping that if I could read the answer in words instead of just lines, it would happen. Nope.

So, I am going to ask for a blessing from my Dad. Not that my husband can't, but I could really use a father's blessing.

Symptoms: tired, snappy at husband, no period, a little nauseated, a little sensitive to smells, every now and then my chest aches, and headaches.

Oh, great those are all symptoms of PMS. WHY, do they have to be the same?????????

The big 4!

JD's birthday is Wednesday. It is about 11pm as I write this the night before he turns four! He is very excited. When I ask him what so exciting about being four, he doesn't really answer.

Anyway, we have a great day planned! We are going to Canyon Park for play group! Then back home to rest for a bit before going to the public pool! Then lounge around until dinner when we will open a few presents and blow out the birthday candles! We did celebrate with everyone on Sunday. Daddy has to work until 8pm.

Off to bed I go...when I wake up I'll be the Mommy of a 4 year old! I just hope he doesn't wake up when he did when he turned 1. I'll save that story for tomorrow!

The Million Dollar Question

"What should we do today?"

It's summer. There are a million things we can do. What are we doing? Wasting away inside doing absolutely nothing. Well, I guess I'm doing something. That's not the point. For the last half an hour I have asked my 4 year old(his b-day is tomorrow!) what he would like to do today.

His response, "We should do..."

Then he just leaves me hanging. He probably wants me to fill in the blanks because that is usually what we do, but I want him to decide. Why won't he just decide!?!?

I guess I am going to have to lay out his choices for him. Besides, it's time to get dressed!

Hope you all have a great day!

PTA Summer Movies!

Hello from Cedar City, Utah!

During the summer here in Cedar City the school PTA's like to have cheap movie days at the theater and show a cartoon or family movie. This year we decided to go! My friend and her little girl asked if we would go with them! There are ten movies(we missed the first couple) and we are about half way through the list.

The first week we went, the movie was Space Chimps. If you haven't seen it, it is cute although we missed about 10 minutes of it due to the fact that part of the movie got a little singed. We are sitting their in the comfortable stadium seats at Fiddler's 6. They are just about to make a big introduction when the film started to burn under the heat of the lights. Not only were the lights on in that little box of a room where the movie is projected from, but some of the lights in the theater were also. After 10-15 minutes of just sitting there wondering what they are going to do, the movie starts back up, but JD has lost interest by now and won't sit still. We finished the show and went home.

The next week, which was last week we went to see Marley & Me. We get seated...nothing...still nothing...the lights go out, the lights come back on. It's a Monday, things are bound to happen, right? Yup, then they announce, "The power is out, we are trying to get it back on." Huh? What could possible have happened to cause the power to go out on a clear blue sky of a day in Cedar City, Utah? A car accident. Apparently, it knocked out the power until 2:30pm that day! Great, now what? They said we could come back the next day. So, we packed up the kids and head for a park. The next day we get to watch the movie. Let me tell you, that movie is not a family movie. It should be rated PG-13, but it isn't. Parents should watch this movie before letting their children watch it.

Today, is Monday. I've decided that Monday's have to come with an event of some kind. This weeks movie, The Tale of Desperaux. I've probably butchered the spelling, but I don't really care! Cute movie, but again they had the lights on in the theater and part of the film burned again. Hello, earth to the movie theater, when showing a movie turn out all the lights!!! Apparently, it isn't the first year that they have burned movies. Last year or the year before they must have burned a movie something awful because they let everyone watch a new movie in the next theater.

Maybe we should start going on Tuesday's or Wednesday's!! I'll let you know what happens next week!
