Watchin Emma

So, there is this girl in my ward who I switch off kid watchin with. She likes to sub and I like to sub and once a week we sub and watch each others kids. So today with my "super woman strength" I brought the Train Table upstairs so the kids could play. And as they were playing they kept getting distracted by a fuzzy red guy who sings LA LA LA LA

Working Full time from home

So last year around the end of Feb, I received a call from a lady named Tina. but first let me explain something...... My aunt worked for this company American Envoy. She told me she called places and collected records. I said hey, can I maybe do that? So she gave me her e-mail address and I emailed Tina...and 4 months later at the end of Feb I received a call.

At first I was not going to take the job. I had just invested a small sum of money in starting a Usborne book business and I was all prepared to be a "Home Party" woman! But Jeremy said just do it! What could it hurt. You can do both!

So I did! I am so glad. It is a great job to work from home. I am so blessed to have it. I am able to be with my Xander. We need the money and when Jeremy was fired at the end of August. I e-mailed Tina and asked for more work (I get paid by the record not by the hour). And she said, "You want it you got it"

I work early in the morning when Xander is sleeping, and eating and watching T.V. which he really likes T.V. Handy Mani, Mickey's Club house, Imagination movers, and little Einstiens are his favs.

And then we play a little bit and he goes down for his nap. And I work some more and my day is done by 3pm because I work Florida standard time. And then Xander and I go outside and play.

Sometimes I think....Man my life is kind of boring. I am not doing all the cool Mom things that I thought I would be doing like, play groups and lunch dates, and sewing....and organizing rooms.

But I am happy! I am! I call hospital workers in Florida and collect medical records. I have a lot of information on a lot of different people in Florida stored on my little computer. (kinda scary)

I get to let Xander sleep in and wake up and give him a bath....There is no rush. and when I am done at 3pm, I am done, nothing to bring home or grade or worry about what I am going to do tomorrow.

Jeremy is doing so well in school! I am so proud of him. It is such a small time in our life and even though it is hard right now. I know we will enjoy the fruits of our labors.

God Bless

Xander

This is Xander
Xander screams
I shut the door
he screams

I open the fridge
he cruns (fast crawl)
to play
I hurry and close the fridge
he screams

I try to put him in his car seat
He Screams
arches his back
and I have to wrestle him
in

Dr. Justin and Nurse Annie
My favorite medical cousins
who live in
Colorado
suggest sign language
it helps with
frustration

Jeremy and I teach Xander
"MORE"
He learned
He can now tell us when he wants more
of something
more drink
more food

But no
he only hears
more

Like yesterday when I said
"Xander, No MORE screaming"
He looked at me and
signed
"MORE"

Sometimes you just have to look at yourself
and smile

I am in a greatful mood

I read a blog
nienie

She has had 90% of her body burned
and doesn't look the same anymore

She is still beautiful
but in a different way

And I just got to thinking
how sometimes I worry
too much
about the way I look

But never again
I will not complain
I am thankful
for the skin
I am in

The freckles
the zits
my swollen foot
my funny nose
and unmanageable hair

I love it all!

Thank you
Heavenly Father
for blessing me with this healthy body

If anything were to happen
that would be ok too

Because I have a testimony of our
SAVIOR

Who died so that we can live again
In a perfected state

God bless all who are suffering in anyway
