One Day At A Time....

So they tried to take her off of sedation, but she started weezing realy bad which may be causing her blood pressure to get low, so they had to put her back on heavy sedation. They finaly found my uncle and he got there yesterday. So it is the whole family (Roberta, James, "Rusty" and "Lee Bob".) This is the first time in several years that they have all been somewhere at the same time! So hopefuly they all behave themselves and control that Perry temper!  

So some of you (ok, probably only 2 of you) know that my paternal grandmother (Roberta Ilene Perry) has spent the last few days in the hospital with pneumonia. She has had lung problems (asthma, emphazima, COPD, ect) for some time now due to 25+ years of smoking. She has 2 sons, my dad and his brother R.L. Perry, who is a hard guy to get ahold of.(yes, those are his initials.) so my dad is leaving for Arizona today. Last night he was able to get a priesthood blessing of comfort which I think will really help while he is down there. This is not an easy thing for him. all of his grandparents have passed away. I think i only knew my dad's paternal grandparents who passed away some time between 1993 and 1999 (aprox). my dad's maternal grandparents died in 1976. His uncle was killed in a car crash while he was on his way to an accident (he was a sherrif / police officer) One good thing is that my dad joined the church about 29 years ago (another aprox.) so he has the ...

How do you decide who to marry? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. - Alan, age 10 No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -       Kristen, age 10 What is the right age to get married? Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. - Camille, age 10 How can a stranger tell if two people are married? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. -       Derrick, age 8 -        What do you think your mom and dad have in common? Both don't want any more kids. -       Lori, age 8 When is it ok to kiss someone? When...

So saw a card like this in an email from a craft company (don't remember the name) and i thought it was cute, so i made it. note that there are a few pieces missing because they are temporarily relocated: there will be a green button in the center of the clover and in the bottom right corner there will be a stamp that says "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" so use your imagination. hope you also enjoy a look at my desk and computer.... i couldnt easily crop them out of the picture....

I decided to give up "unsupervised" visits to the grocery store for "lent" Before you get confused, allow me to explain. Yes I know I am LDS and we dont celebrate Lent. I see it as a period of time i can give up something, break a bad habit, or finaly start my New years resolutions. So far, i have faltered a few times, but they dont count. (there are weird stipulations to this.....) The nice thing is that i am using my debit card alot less and sticking to a budget alot more.(I budget myself a cash allowance, gas money and money for groceries) and i am even putting money back in my savings for a "rainy day". I just hope i can stick to it! Wish me luck!    

So i think i have FINALLY recovered from frisbee. I played Ultimate Frisbee for the first time in a few years on saturday and was sore for days afterward. i am just glad i was not the only one.

So I am trying the "Email to your blog approach...." let's see how well this works. I figure it will be easier to blog from my email seeing as I check my email about 50 times a day (ok, i am exadurating, but not by much.....)
