Monday's Allergy Test

I don't know about you but I always get super stuffed when I go lay down on anything, especially on the side I'm laying on. The doc referred me to an allergist here in Provo and I had an appointment to go get my allergy test done. After I figured out what they do to you I was NOT at all thrilled to go. They told me a "few" needles in my back to do the testing. But come to fine out when I got there it was a whole other story, they wouldn't tell me how many they were doing just "a lot" is all they would say. I was totally freaked In fact on Sunday night I dreamed that I purposely missed the apt and had some one call in for me. But I went and 54 shots in the back and 1 and half hours later I found out I'm allergic to........ NOTHING! not a single freaking thing! I just have what everyone has but more pronounced. So there is nothing I can do about it and I will always be stuffed. I was hoping I could get this taken care of for my next pregnancy because it was so hard for me to breathe especially with a gigantic belly (Mason never dropped). So after all the scare, shots, and sleepless nights it was a waste. ha ha I'm so negative some times :P

Skills

I just want to shout out to all my friends that happen to have skills to sew. You are so blessed! I see all of these great things that you lovely ladies are putting together and making and everything turns out beautiful. Mostly it is for little girly things for their daughters...bows, dresses, flowers, blankets... I'm just amazed at all of the many great things you all can do. I love seeing the new idea's you have and I love to see the turn out of what ever it is you make. I do have a sewing machine but no idea how to even thread the thing. Its sits on my floor starring at me wanting to get used by my unskillful hands (and foot) to make some thing from a awesome piece of fabric to a hideous masterpiece. I don't know a single term or what you can do other than a straight stitch. So a square is about as creative as I can get, if I don't go over the edge. So again I'm very proud to see it is possible, how? I have no idea. But it can be done! :)
So if any of you out there can help my simple mind of sewing techniques I would love to TRY and make some thing from a piece of fabric. any thing simple to start and if there are any terms I need to know, that would be greatly appreciated!!!

Infinite Power of Hope

These last few months I've been trying really hard on being a better example for my son and husband. It seems that the harder I try to better myself the harder Satan works at destroying it. But I know I need to continue to push myself at doing the right things like reading my scriptures, praying openly, showing the respect that Heavenly Father deserves by going on my knees to pray (i'm famous for pillow prayers), keeping my journal, going to the temple, and doing my visiting teaching. I will admit that it has become extremely difficult at times and I seem to get EXTREMELY distracted (satan's work) by situations going on in my life that seem to be almost impossible to over come. This month for the R.S. message a quote stood out to me," Each of us has a responsibility to try to avoid problems before they happen and to learn to overcome challenges when they occur..." then satan comes in and tries to make it so overwhelming for me which makes me more angry and upset, and that is not Heavenly Fathers plan for me to get through. But I'm going to do my best at what I know is right for me. I need to better myself first before I can better my family. I know Heavenly Father seriously loves me for me and my efforts to keep my family spiritually together and happy. I'm not going to lose.
this video is amazing and what a strength builder

So I Married A Computer Nerd

The night before last I was on a cleaning frenzy when Alan decided to pitch in. "I'll take out the trash" he said. He walk out the door to the gigantic dumpster right across from our condo and threw the big white bag in, well tried anyway. It only made it half way, it got stuck between the fence and the dumpster. So as anyone would do he tried to push it in. He comes in running to the bathroom with blood completely all over his hands dripping! "I cut my had really bad!" So I put my clinic skills to work and got him bandaged up with gauze and neosporine and wrapped it with medical tape and we were off to the hospital. The blasted emergency entrance was a beast to find, poor Alan. But after all the paper work and checking him in we were sitting in the back in our own little room and they tell him he will need the stitches (alan being continually in denial that he even needs them) in his left thumb and his middle finger will be glued shut and he will get some shots to numb so they can explore inside the cut and stitch it back up. Alan goes pail. They had to lean his bed as far back as it went for most the rest of the visit to get the blood to go back to his face. Needless to say it didn't really work all to well. It made him less dizzy but he was as pail as ever. Come to find out the doc is a good friend of my cousin's husband who is a dentist so we got a talkin. Meanwhile poor alan is getting a shot from a nurse who didn't really have the experience in shot giving and was inserting the needle "fishing" all around his thumb. " its about ready to pop out the other side!" says alan. It was the ugliest looking shot I have ever seen in my life! she started going in in one direction but the needle (that never was pulled out during this process) ended up in almost the opposite direction. The doc quickly comes in and does the other injection. Alan's face was white! And for the most part Mason was a gem. He was super happy, ate and threw up on me twice, screamed just so he could hear his own voice since it some what echoed in the hospital with bare walls and fell asleep right before we left. And now Alan has a huge bandage on his thumb like what you would see in the cartoons after they smash their thumb with a hammer. After all that this is what he says to prove my title of this story," At least I push the space bar with my right thumb!"

Alan finally taught me how to upload pictures on this computer and I wouldn't of been able to do it anyway with out the card reader. So here are the blocks that I made on sunday with my sister-in-law. So much fun! If you want them and don't have a table saw I'm selling them for $7 in black, red and green. I will probably be putting up more crafts during the holidays that I will make and sell to help us out for Christmas since now I'm a stay at home mom. Just let me know if you want any and how many and what color. Im going to be doing them for family and friends and some neighbors for Christmas. If you would like I can also make any other word that you come up with so your not stuck on just the word believe with any other color. I love the holidays!!!
