Well it has been quite awhile since I have blogged. I have a new job that keeps me very busy. I leave for work at about 6:45am and travel about an hour, to Valencia, CA. I work for a CPA. The tax season is the busiest. Corporate taxes where do March 15 and of course we have some late companies. I worked until about 5:45pm all week, plus the hour drive home I was very tired. All that is left is individual taxes and people always wait until the last minute especially if they owe money. My job is only temporary. When the tax is over so is my job. I work for Sam in 2004. He has asked me to back before but I did not. He gave me a raise and helped pay my gas. Good to be needed. He did not have to train me. I am tryiing to get him to hire me full time. I will even go back to school and learn Quickbooks and take the other half of my bookkeeping class. Eric is leaving at the end of the month to go and work with a friend of his from the Y. They are going to put in security systems in another state. Tami has moved to Oakland and is still going to school Jamie is still living with me and working at Toyko Steak. Hope you are all well and happy.l Love to all

A Day In The E.R.

On Monday January 15th Jamie asked me to take her to the ER. She had been having pain for the last 5 days. When we got their the waiting room had only two other people. I thought this will not take very long. Faomous last words. We did not get in until 1 o'clock. We got their at 9. Needless to say the rest was downhill. The ER was so packed they had people everywhere. The ambulances just kept coming. They were lined up and down the hallway. It got so bad that no visitors were allowed in the ER. They had closed the ER at Antelope Vallley Hospital, so they were all beening sent to Lancaster Hospital, where we were. It was a night mare. They finally decided to admitt Jamie and we got a room at 8:30 pm. They thought it was her galbladder so they went in down her thoart and cleaned out the slug. She was in the hospital until Thrusday night. They di d not remover it. She is still in pain and on medication. They were really concerned about the levels of her red and white blood cells. They were below normal. They always have been. They are trying to get her records from Children's Hospital when she was younger and had all that trouble with her spline and liver. She will have a test on those later this week. So in the meantime we just sit and wait. Hopefully will have some news shortly after the test. Will keep you posted.

Merry Christmas

I thought you would enjoy this. I leave Sunday for Kelli's. Will post when she is born.

All of you have a Merry Christmas!!!

posting again after a long absence

I guess it is about time I start blogging again. My life is not very exciting, kind of drab really. I did go to Kelli's this weekend. Her friends in the Ward gave her a baby shower. She really go some very nice things. She is going to have a girl on December 17. I even won a prize. I even got to be their for her talk in Sacrament meeting. She and Kevin did a great job. Jamie and I watched the boys. It was great to see my grandchildren. Ryan can now sit by himself and is about ready to crawl. Physical therapy is really working great for him. I met the woman who gives it to him. She is really nice. Ryan has come along way. It is so exciting to see the improvement. It is just wonderful. Hope everyone is well and happy. Love to you all.

Dancing with the Stars

I was looking at Hannah's blog, when I remembered I too watched Dancing with the Stars. I really like Mario's dance. I thought his was the best. I was not impressed with the rest. Although I wish I could dance like that. I remember taking a ballroom dance class when I went to Ricks College. I really enjoyed that class. My favorite dancers are Fred and Ginger. Those were the good old days.

Birthdays

Today Eric turned 20 years old. Harry turned 34. Randy I believe 27. They all share the same birthday today. Happy Birthday to you all. According to may math if it is correct, they were all borned 7 years apart.

PIANO PLAYER

I thought you all might enjoy this video. http://www.thatvideosite.com/view/540.html Hope all is well with everyone. I have gone back to work. School started last Monday for the High School. I work for a nice teacher and the class have some great kids in them. My assignment is until the end of September, unless the aide comes back before then. That has happened to me before.

Another Gr andchild

Of course you all know that Kelli is going to have a baby in December, the 17th in fact, well it is going to be a girl. Might as well go along with all the rest. She is rather excited. They are going to Argentina(hope i spelled that right) on friday for 10 days. Kevin parents are serving a mission their. Quite the traveler since she married Kevin. They have gone to Mexico City, Costa Rica, and now Argentina. Still have not found a job yet. School will start again on the 14th, but I was hoping to find a temporary job in between but no such luck. Hope all is well with everyone. Love to all.

BACK AT HOME

Well the traveler has returned. I had a great time at Traci's. It was great to see my grandchildren everyday. The day after I left they went around the house looking for grandma. Traci and Jeff have always blessed their babies while i was their. This time is actualy feel on a fast Sunday. We did lots of fun things while I was there. I also went to see Joan in Tennesse. I had a five hour lay over. I was good to see her. She took me around to see the town. Everything is green. We went to see the temple and her house. We had lunch together, then Fred came home to visit and they both took me to the airport. On the plane I sat next to a women who turned out to be a member of the church and her folks live in Quartz Hill, not to far from where I live. We had a nice chat. This is only the third time I have gone anywhere far away since I was sick. It was a relaxing time for me. I came home to a sisters weekend. It was great to get together and visit and eat. Which we did plenty of. Now it is time to find a job until school starts agaim. Need to pond the pavement. Great to read that everyone is doing well . Love to all.

ENGAGEMENT

Over the weekend Tami got engaged to Tyler. They plan to get married sometime next year. I am at Traci's for the next 2 weeks. The weather here is muggy and hot. My grandchildren were glad to see me. I have not seen them since October of last year when we all went to Sea World for a day. They were here on vacation and a wedding. Jeff's sister got married in Las Vegas. Well hope all is well with everyone. We are praying for everyone.

TAMI'S BIRTHDAY

Today is Tami's 23rd birthday. I know it may seems strange to some people but I can remember the day she was born. I went to the hospital at 3am, because Jamie had come quickly. Tami was not born until 10:30am. She was a beautiful little thing. Besides Kelli she was my longest labor. Just want to wish her a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

MOTHER'S DAY

I would like to wish everyone a happy mothers day. I went to mom's and joans family ccoked dinner. BBQ chicken,corn on the cob, rice, salad, and strawberry shortcake. I was great. We all had a nice visit. All my kids called and wished me a happy mothers day. Altogether it was a great day. Well got to go. I am watching a video with Eric. Lois and Clark (Superman Season 1). Love to you all.

Joke

Pain
A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered.Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine thatwould transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby'sfather. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very
much in favor of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% forstarters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than thefather had ever experienced before. However, as the labor progressed, thehusband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch.
Thedoctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband wasstill feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure andwas amazed at how well he was doing. At this point, they decided to tryfor 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the paintransfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband
Encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthybaby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. Whenthey got home, the mailman was dead on the porch.

Thought you might enjoy this. Good for a laugh. Hope everyone is having a good day.

LOCKED OUT

I was doing my laundry today, which is out in the garage and locked myself out of the apartment. I had to wait for Jamie to come home from work to let me in. I walked to my friends to use her phone. It took me about 30 minutes so i got my walk in for the day. Now i put my laundry key on my key ring. No more locking myself out. Go thing the weather was nice.

Holiday

Want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. May we all remember the true meaning of this gloriest day and what it can do for our lives. The Savior did so much for us. Love you all.

Tami's Surgery

A few years back Tami fell off a horse and broke her back. A little while ago it started hurting her really bad. She would go numb in one of her legs and was in pain all the time. Finally she got medicare and went to the doctor. They did a bunch of test on her, some were not very pleasant at all . They stuck her with needles in her leg at which she cried. That was on a friday and by Monday they said she would have surgery the following Tuesday, which was today. Whenever they put Tami out she wakes up crying, which she did today probably more that usual. She had it done at USC hospital. They took out her pins and filled the holes with a bone graph from her hip. They thought they might have to do everything over again, but in the end it was not necessary. Now she can heal faster. I don't think she wanted me to leave (once when she had her apendix out I stayed with her in the hospital). Not this time. Hopefully this will be the last time she will need surgery. Hope all is well with everyone. Love you all.

MOVIE

Mom, Donna and I went to the dollar movie this morning and saw Nanny McPhee. I thought it was a great movie. This was may second time seeing it. Mom and Donna enjoyed it too. Then we went to WalMart. Mine is much better than the one where Mom lives. She also had her hair cut at a salon that I go too. They did a good job. It looked really nice. It was great to spend the day with them. Hope all is well with everyone. Love ya.

Movie

Went to the movie and out to dinner with Donna and Mom. Saw the premier of "Take the Lead "with Antonio Bandares. Was an okay movie. Loved the dancing, wish I could dance like that. Lots of swearing. It was entertaining. It was also a little long and dull in some spots. Well back to school on Monday. Spring break is over so back to the world of work.
