This picture of Daxton is how I feel today...

Here is another fabulous tag! Thanks Tiff!

I am: in a really bad mood, my chest is even heavy with anger

I think: most things are not a big deal but this just pissed me off

I want: Daxton to get rid of his dad, and my job to go back to how it used to be

I wish: I wasn’t hungry all the time

I miss: being married, but not who I was married to

I fear: that I will never get remarried

I feel: you don’t want to know what I feel right now

I hear: really loud music so I don’t have to listen to Kristen talk to whoever she is talking to on the phone (a personal call).

I smell: my stinky heater

I crave: bubble gum ice cream and penny candy

I usually: like to work, but not lately

I always: tell it how it is

I search: for deals on ski coats for Daxton this winter

I wonder: what’s going to happen in court on the 9th

I care: way too much for just about everyone

I worry: that Daxton will turn out like Trevor

I remember: how nice it felt to be skinny, much easier to move

I believe: all may be accomplished in righteousness

I dance: every chance I get

I don’t always: do the right thing…like yell at my boss for example

Grrrr...8-27-8

I am just so conflicted right now. It’s mostly because of my job. Daxton was sick today, thanks to my mom for taking care of him while I work. At work they have put me on a schedule where I have someone different covering the phones. It’s not a good idea. Customers like to talk to the same person every time they call in. I know this because people will be like where were you and I just had the day off or something. They didn’t ask the people if it would work for them, there bosses just told them how it was going to be; so now all the people covering the phones are going to hate me. Which for the most part I don’t really care but it was kind of jerky. Work just sucks and I don’t really want to leave but I don’t want to be a prisoner either. And that is how they have made me feel now. The only thing that gets me though today is listening to Kelly. She has the most amazing voice. Angie downloaded it on Caden’s ipod that I am using so that’s to both of them. haha anyways it has to get better because it can’t get much worse.

How it should be 8-24-8

Sunday’s are about church and family. Yesterday after church we went to my Grandma’s house. Almost all of the family was there. It was nice to just spend the day with them. We had pot luck dinner and then Grandpa had a few games for the kids to play. Daxton was off playing with the kids, which is nice for me because then I can visit with my family. While Daxton was playing he stubbed his toe on a rock. It was right before I went to take this picture. He cried and cried…mostly because of all the blood. When my mother and I were trying to dress the injury Daxton kept on saying, “I want my Grandpa.” It kind of bugged me because when kids get hurt aren’t they suppose to want there mommy’s? He kind of thinks his Grandpa is a rescuer, just because he is on the ski patrol and he helps people. So I will just brush that one off. On a side note, my cousin Mindi and her husband Nick just moved home from Texas where they have been all summer selling security systems. I am glad to have them back. And Uncle Tom is doing ok, I think he might have over done it yesterday; but it was good to see him up and moving.

Ryan, Abbie, Kalie and Hunter...

and no Daxton, due to injury 2 seconds before picture

Can't Really Say 8-18-8

I am in big trouble. I am not allowed to talk about what happened so I am going to vent about what I am allowed to talk about. Monday I came into work and everything was fine. I had payroll in the morning and then after that I had a lot of mail. And entire mail tub full. I was discouraged but I few through it. Then some office drama came up and well, it made me very angry (that’s right Becky I was mad). I vented to my girl Chelsea…well long story short I ended up yelling at my boss because he forced me to talk about something I didn’t want to talk about. Then I got what is called administrative leave (work without pay). I wasn’t upset about that because I actually wanted the day off so it kind of worked out. haha Now on my day off my boss invited all of my girls into his office to tell them that they are not allowed to talk to me at my desk and threatened them with law suits. Neither of them said anything but to punish me he took them away from me. Now I spend 30 minutes away from my desk doing nothing because I am taking my two 15 minute breaks daily just to prove some dumb point.

Oh, on my day off I spent the day with Daxton and my Mom and RaCinda and Kalie…it was a horrible punishment haha. We went to lunch and then spent the rest of the day shopping. So thanks to my jerk boss for the punishment.

I did it! 8-16-8

I have now clue how to do hair. So on Saturday Daxton and I went to get our hair cut. I didn't tell anyone that I was going to do I just took Daxton. I cut 7 inches off. This is as short as my hair has ever been. I kind of like it because it's totally different for me. The only problem is that I have no clue how to fix it so I will take any idea's anyone has to offer.

Dang it Tom 8-13-8

So last night I was planning on going to dinner with my Grandma and Tahnee. Then on my way home my mom calls me and tells me that my uncle Tom is in the emergency room because his lung has collapsed. So...I am a fast driver so I flew up there just to get there right as they are finished putting a tube in his chest to help get air to it.

He was in so much pain. I guessed they knocked him out so when I came in the room he was all alone. He is pail white. I first noted that his stomach was not moving up and down (from all of my medical problems I know that is something that nurses look at. So I was encouraging him to breath and he was looking at me with a confused look on his face. Finally my Aunt KaeLene came in. Then the Doctor came in and told us how a lot of air rushed out when she put the tube in and how his vitals came up. She did the right thing.

We left Tom and went to dinner...in the hospital. I guess that they were so busy that they didnt have time to move him to his room so he was just hanging out in the emergency.

I had to leave because Daxton comes home at 8. I was there long enough to wait and think that I was going to have to call the cops to get Daxton back. But they were only 5 minutes late. Daxton and I sent the next hour getting ready for bed and playing blocks.

Let me explain the pictures...on the top...Tahnee and KaeLene, she was trying to tell her daughter what to get from home. She is a mess. In the middle...Grandma Mitton...she was eating a cookie. Last...me and Mom...we were trying to see how bad of a picture we could take. It worked.

Moving Day 8-7-8

Today was moving day for my little sister Kristy and her husband Dave. They are moving to AZ to go to school. I have not been happy about this move for many different reasons: She comes over to my Mom's on Sundays, she has the funny stories that are only funny because you are watching her face, and she is my little sister.

Dave and Kristy...in there empty old apartment

There is a lot of work that goes into moving. We had a lot of help. You have to pack everything and after you have done that and you are so tired that you think you are going to die, then you have to clean the place.

This is Kristy getting a drink while Becky cleans up the house

So I have a confession. I kind of enjoyed this move. Dave has never driven anything larger then his Honda. Here we have Dave who has to drive this big truck and tow a car. That right there makes me laugh. I guess that he was having major trials getting the truck and trailer figured out. It was kind of a major stress for him. Well, my Dad is a truck driver. So he was trying to teach Dave how to drive a large truck with trailer. I though it was so funny.

This is a picture of all of the guys trying to figure out how to properly load a car...nobody had ever done it before. Dave even read the instructions so that they did it right. In the picture we have Dave, Blake (dave's bro-in-law), his brother Jeff and my Dad.

This is Dave trying to drive his car on the trailer but not into the truck. Just a few minutes earlier he almost hit the truck with his car because they live on a huge hill and his car is manual. I mean, he missed hitting the truck by like 2 inches. haha

Now they were all hooked up and ready to go...but now the truck is full and pulling the car the trailer is stuck on the drive way. Then he stoped and the truck was stuck on the hill because of the huge hill. It was great intertainment. Dave's mom wouldn't even look she was so nervous.

Daxton wanted to help so much...so we let him help move little things and he watched the dog. He was telling me how sad he was because Kristy and "basketball Dave" were moving. He wanted to know if they hated him. He still doesn't get everything.

Uncle Tom 8-5-6

I went to lunch like I normally do with Daxton and my mom. We went to swimming lessons. Then I had to hurry back to work because I had a lot of work to do for month end. My mom went to get me food while I worked. She was gone for a long while and then she came to work and told me that my Uncle Tom had fallen out of a tree that he was trimming. He was in the Brigham Hospital in serious condition. I love Tom, everyone does. He is a very good example of how to live a Christ like life. I basically planned his funeral. They were doing a cat scan to see if his brain was still working. I was totally freaked out. Then she came back 30 minutes later and tells me that his brain is fine and he is going to be alright. They were going to move him to the Logan Hospital and luckily my cousin Angela (Tom’s daughter) through a fit and told them to take him somewhere else. Logan doesn’t have a good reputation. So after much arguing they finally agreed to take him to Ogden. When they got him there he was in so much pain. They found that during the transportation that the tube in his lungs had been shoved in 2 inches too far. After they fixed that he was doing much better. The final outcome of my beloved Uncle Tom is: a broken back (he was lucky, they don’t think he will be paralyzed), 6 broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a punchier lung. He is so luck to be alive. I know my family all prayed really hard. Thank goodness for blessings and the power of prayer. He is a lucky man and we are a lucky family.
This picture is from Sunday. Tom is the man standing in the middle of our funny looking circle with his hands on his hips. I think I have posted a picture of him before but not sure.

Sunday 8-3-8

My mom’s cousin blessed her baby and after we went to the park. It was really hot, the kids played in the ditch. Daxton of course fell in, I think it was on purpose. I don’t blame him because it was really hot. We all just spent the day visiting with each other and watching the kids play. We were there for a long time…like 7 hours. It drives people who marry into our family nuts. It’s just what we have always done, sat and B.S.ed for hours.

My Grandma is in the middle with sisters on both sides
