I so enjoy reading everyone's blog. I do it everyday, i think. So, i thought i ought to get on my butt (as opposed to off) and write something for all those other people who wonder why they haven't seen anything new.
mostly that's because nothing much happens here. I have been in a bad flare (o' fibro) for most of february. who wants to hear about that?? no one.
we also had warmer weather yesterday...in the 50's. but there is still a lot of dirty snow that needs to be melted. Should be about the same today. it has been raining and gray so far, but the radio promises me that it will be sunny by afternoon and also tomorrow and again, 50's. so there is sooooooooooooooooome hope.
Tonight should be Kevin's last church dance. they let them slide, apparently, while they are still 18, but you know what tomorrow is. At least, chronologically, he will be 19. He says that he might try to sneak into the April tri-stake youth dance. we'll see.
Ryan should be in Portland by now. and then to seattle sometime this week where he will see kerry and braden and hopefully not jenna. I am getting way excited about going to seattle. I am really glad that Kerry asked me to come and help. Makes me feel useful.
I love my grandchildren, born and unborn!!! I really enjoy being a grandmother. I wish i could see them more frequently. I would like to be a part of their lives that they remember, and say, "boy, grandma is COOL" (as opposed to, "who?")! I am still trying to figure out how that will happen if everybody lives all spread out. dunno. still trying to figure it out. I wouldn't want anyone saying, "Oh, she loves X better than me", or "her OTHER grandchildren are more important". I am willing to move, but to where?? this is where dan chimes in, "madeira!" but then what about everyone else. maybe i should have just had one child....but then which ones would i give up? none. oh, and by the way, i can't move while my dad is alive...i need to be here to help if he needs it. But i can't imagine that that would be more than say 3 years. and my friends are here. should i trade friends for family?? and i also have a brother and sister here. ah, quit the rambling...i hear you all now.
in other news, i am trying to load up dad's mp3 player. i have one session of conference on there, but i have downloaded all of april and october last year to the comp. just need to move them over. I also have folders ready for this april's conference. i have learned what "rip" means and also "sync". hooray for kevin, i am glad he is still here to educate me. i will also be putting on scottish music and anne murray..partially ripped. i am not sure what else he wants. when i get that far, i will have to ask him.
long post about nothing. but we are still alive. now you know.

Nice new template. Doesn't it feel good to shake things up a bit? :-) And I enjoyed your blog too. I also check the blogs regularly and enjoying reading them. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes right now trying to decide where to move too. I was lucky when I was a little kid to live near by both sets of my grandparents. After we moved to Ohio, seeing family pretty much went down hill and then my own family pretty much went down hill... I'm sure Dan and I will have the same problem one day since we have 4 kids and will probably have more. I would love it if you could be closer to us. But Dan and I understand that you can't be near everyone. So when the time comes to move, we'll respect your decision to move where you need to go. And if you aren't near us, just visit as much as you can!
“where he will see kerry and braden and hopefully not jenna”
All I have to say is that I hope Ryan has been brushing up on his baby delivery skills... just in case.
“I love my grandchildren, born and unborn!!!”
The term “unborn” is so negative and unfriendly. Can we agree on something a little more PC, like “Less Living” or “Breathing Impaired” or “Well Contained”?
“I am really glad that Kerry asked me to come and help. Makes me feel useful.”
I’m not sure you realize just how useful you are. Especially here in the last few weeks where we have been having some scares, you have been a lifeline for us. We have been calling you before even calling the doctor or the hospital, and we are already making detailed plans about how we will use you when Jenna is born *evil, maniacal laughter with much rubbage of hands together*
“I am willing to move, but to where??”
Well, based on the comments, you now have Carolyn's (and by implication Dan's) permission not to move to Ohio. What about Washington? Besides, why would you want to move to a place that is unpronounceable like where D&C live? Out in Washington we have sane, intelligent city names, like Klickitat and Puyallup and Humptulips (really, that is a town in Washington).
“maybe i should have just had one child... but then which ones would i give up?”
I vote for Dan and Ryan and Kevin.
“i can't imagine that that would be more than say 3 years”
We would like to submit our petition for you to be wrong on this point. We’d like to aim for more like a baker’s dozen.
Well, this has been a long comment about a long post about nothing, but at least you know I am still alive.
your baby can't be less living. she is totally living.
You know that we would love to have you here. Plus, Cincinnati IS home to 80% of your grandchildren :-)
