Craziness

I have to repent. I do spend time on the computer playing Sudoku and Spider but I don't quite find the time to blog. We have been having an interesting couple of weeks. We have made two runs to the emergency room with Susanne. She is fine as long as she stays still or moves very slowly, but any time she exerts herself at all she gets very short of breath. They have ruled out any heart issues but they still are working on the cause. For Nan to miss a week of work is pretty unusual. You can probably guess that I am starting to worry about this (isn't that a mother's job?). They are having her see a pulmonologist and she has been seeing a rheumatologist because of unexplained swelling in her hands and sometimes legs. Oi! I'll keep you posted, but please keep her in your prayers. She is stubborn enough to have denied her father the privilege of giving her a blessing. She will be mad that I posted this, because she feels stupid and always worries that it is in her head. Silly, silly girl! On a different note, Susanne just signed a contract to move out of our house. She will be close (abt. 3 miles) but it will still be hard to lose her and Allie. We spent a fun night sharing "Allie-isms" last night and Nan, Mark and I were just laughing and laughing. I'll try to get Nan to blog some of those. Her apt. will be ready June 30.

Mark graduated from high school. He is currently looking for a job. He graduated with high honors and worked hard right up to the end. He wants to major in languages, English as well as others. He seems to have a real skill there and loves learning the rules that go with each. I can't believe that he can keep all that straight. He is planning a mission ASAP. His birthday is in Sept. so it is coming up fast. He can turn is papers in the end of June but we can't get his physical appt. before July so he will have to be patient.

I am planning on using this summer to get some organization in my house and classroom. That is always a challenge for me. I haven't gotten as much done this week as I had hoped but I will keep working on it. I do have to start exercising every day as well. Look for a post on the fitness blog next week to report my progress, good or bad.

Rick finally got back to a day shift. It has been nice to have him home for dinner and family time. We keep forgetting to read our scriptures together though, because it has been so long since we have been able to. We'll keep working on that. His job pays for a Lagoon pass and meal once a year and tomorrow is the day. It is a nice outing and we wouldn't pay the price to go if it wasn't free. Allie LOVES Lagoon and is looking forward to it.

That is enough for now. I will try to go get busy.
