When it comes to technology and navigating my way around a computer program I am not familiar with, I would say I am somewhat challenged. Probably not so much that I can't figure it out as the fact that I just don't want to spend the energy because my brain is usually tired when I need to know this information. So here I am doing a blog that I really don't know much about. I have had several people tell me they tried to leave comments and weren't able to. Apparently you need to sign up with an account for google? I did find out after testing with my co-worker that you can submit a comment under annoymus without having to sign up, the problem is how will I know who cared enough to leave me a comment? So if you do comment please let me know who you are. I heard thru the grapevine that a friend of mine read my blog, because of his wifes encouragement and he decided it was boring. Thanks criddy! Don't worry my feelings aren't hurt in the least. So if anyone knows an easier way to leave comments or an easier site to navigate let me know. I am adaptable. You will probably notice how plain this blog is, maybe that is why Criddy didn't like it :}
Now for the bug bites. I have 2 children that are african american or a mix thereof. Whenever the bugs are out they tend to attract themselves to these children and leave bug bites. We can all be together in the same area at the same time and these two will end up covered in bug bites, swollen to say the least and very itchy. The rest of us will be fine. My kids say it's because bugs like chocolate milk. I have always wondered why they attract the bites. If anyone knows the answer to this please feel free to share. In our family we always have a bottle of calamine ready!
I have used other anti-itch medicines only to come back to calamine (this is a free advertisement if you ask me). By the way the bug bites are all bugs, not just mosquitoes.

Let's ramble about weeds and....
In my younger day I LOVED working in my flowers. I would spend hours! So for today I was going to tackle the weeds that have attacked my yard. Chemlawn takes care of the lawn and we mostly have shrubs and rocks around the house but there is a couple of spots that are not getting the hint. Put the ground barrier down, cover with rocks and nothing will come thru....that is a joke. Well I didn't get very far, decided the job was to big and I was to tired to do it.
So instead we are off to the pool for the day to relax and get a TAN! I love the sun especially when I can jump in the water to cool off anytime I want. That is why I love Lake Powell, it is so beautiful and peaceful and in July and August the water is perfect for my hide. You may not know that I am scared to death of water. I have to have a life vest on or something to hold on to if I can't touch the bottom. Don't swim very well, but have found out that fat floats and because I am not a size 2 I can actually lay on my back and float without sinking so that is good!
As I thought about this whole blog thing last night while falling asleep, so many topics came to mind that I could blabber about. Those who know me know that I can change subjects in the middle just because a thought came along. If my ramblings start repeating themselves someone tell me. Otherwise hang on because you might get lost somewhere in the middle reading all this stuff.
And in case you care...less than 24 hours and my indiana son comes home. My bear lake biscuit (biscuit has alot of meanings and I use it alot. In this case it is means my son), came home. By the way I have to thank Brandon for my hide and my biscuit sayings. Hope all is well in Aruba!

All alone....
It has been suggested for a long time that I start a blog. Maybe because my life is not boring, or I am just weird or both but I finally have given in and decided to try this out! For those who know me best I do not like to be alone. Of course I am listening to David Archuleta sing as loud as I can stand it. The dog finally gave up and chose to go outside. I think it was to loud for her ears.
So here I am listening to David, loving every minute of it and wondering what he has in store for him. Some of my kids are out of town, and some are just hanging out on the town and one is going to be coming home from scout camp. He is my baby and has decided to spend his summer up at Bear Lake in the Aquatics camp. It's only been 1 week and I already miss him to death. Those who know me best know that I can be very emotional, especially when it comes to my children. My third son will be coming home from Indiana on Sunday, he has been selling security systems. I can't wait to see him. I hope whomever reads this will get a kick out of the stories and dreams. It is not mean't to hurt anyone but instead to maybe let others realize that life can be hard, fun, emotional and downright ugly sometimes. It might help someone who is struggling in one area or another to read this and get a laugh. I promise that what you read here is the truth. As a kid I was a great liar, I think for fear of being killed by my parents, but as an adult I absolutely hate lying. So what I put on here is the truth as I live it and see it. Another disclaimer, I am not an english major, in fact hated it in school so my commas, to,too, semi colons etc will never be in the right place but I think you will get the point. I do pride myself on being a great speller so hopefully that won't come into play. I promise never to use the spell check. I really don't know if they even have one on this. Someday soon I hope I might even have a picture or two on this blog. But for now, I don't even have a camera in my possession.
So here is my dream from last night (I have very weird dreams and remember them all at least for a day or so).
I am known to despise water and for some reason in my dream I was at a friends house and their water was in limited supply. They were having a big party and told everyone to not drink any water or that would really hurt their family. I took every chance I could to sneak a drink but it seemed that as soon as I put my lips to the cups someone came in and I couldn't get that drink.
When I woke up this morning I was dying of thirst. I drank 3 huge glasses of water while I was getting ready for work and another huge one on the way. Once I was at work I still was drinking water, I could not get enough. I will usually do anything to not have to drink water.......SO anyone who would like to intrepret my dreams go ahead I am listening....
