Too busy to think

The last couple of weeks it seems like all I have done is go and go. One of the places I went to was the Temple open house. Mike and I went with his sisters. We were the first ones in the chapel and did not have to wait but a few minutes before they started the little film about the Temple. I was sursprised to see ladies wearing bluejeans and T-shirts, I guess they did not understand the importanese of wearing your church clothing. There were no lines in the tents so we just walked right through them. I so wanted to feel the spirit that night, and I did as soon as I stepped in the Temple I could feel the difference. It was hard to take the time to look at everything. But as we were walking through Mike noticed a couple from our ward, the Cooks, for some reason that made it even more special to see someone there we know. Everything in the Temple was beautiful. The colors and the wood I loved. I am so gratful to my Heavenly Father that I was able to share that evening with Mike and his sisters.

Homemade fun

So...The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2- What I create will be just for you. 3- It'll be done this year. 4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be a joke book, autographed picture of myself, handmade bag, or a little invention of my own! I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Sounds like fun, right? So let's play!

Saturday afternoon

I have to say this has been a better week for me. I took Bella to Andrew's soccor game today. Mindy was there with her boys, and I was glad the cousins do not get to see each other much. They enjoyed running up and down the asle. As a grandmom it was ok, as a mom I would have been pulling out my hair. Ajay decided to play hide and seek and did not tell us, so for just a minute our hearts stopped beating when we could not find him. But it was a good 40 minutes. I hope they are close when they grow up.

I had a really bad day at work all because of one lady. I'm sure all of you have had a person like this at your work, if not, you are luck. She is the one who does all the work and no one she works with does anything. This lady has gone over the assisants head to the owner with every person she as worked with. You would think the boss would get the hint that after her complaining about everyone who she works with that maybe it is her not everyone else.
I try to do my job and to get along with everyone. But if anyone has any ideas how to get rind of this lady let me hear them.

I had to get up at 3:30 am this morning to take Mike to Spanish Fork by 4:30 this morning. So when I got back home I could not go back to sleep. I thought maybe this would be a good time to write something on my blog.
This weekend Mike and I were talking about how we do not understand some of the chooses our children make in their lives. I understand when they were little yes I wanted them to do what I said then I said it. But as they got older I want them to think for themselves.
Looking back on my childhood I do not think my parents understood some of the things I did either. My mother never did understood why I liked music on when I took a bath, or why I liked having friends. She hated anything that made noise. But as I remember it I did not disobey my parents that much. I went to school everyday and came home on time from dates. I never argued with my parents.
I am proud of my children for trying things I would never do. It is just things they try that I knew will hurt them in the long run that scarys me.
As a grandmother things are so much different. All I have to do is subport my children I am not the main person worrying and teaching, I get to be the one who can sit back and say you did the samething as a children or your sister or brother acted just like that.
I have noticed that my kids are stronger parents then I never was. They stand their ground my grandkids do not push their parents around, so maybe I did do something right.
So to all my kids I love you and thanks for turning out so great and thanks for the grandkids and all the great memories.
