The Family Sunday Six

I am enlisting the whole famn damily to help me out this Sunday.

Allison: I'm grateful that I'm in the musical at school because it's so fun... go Cinderella! (she enjoys the dancing and the thoughts of a ballgown)

Emily: I'm happy that the batteries in my calculator didn't give out until AFTER my math quiz! (precalculus? I'd be happy too)

Michael: Making plans to move to UT to find employment and get back into the swing of school (I'm happy for him but I'll miss him dreadfully... I know he's already planning on walking Sam for Marianne and is willing to sleep in the backyard since he's done the whole B.S. Freezeree thing)

Steve: I made it to DIA, SLC, Park City and back with NO problems (I'm grateful for that too)

Helen: I'm thankful for Steve's chance to go to Park City and interview for a job and that he came home safely (ditto)

Me: I'm grateful for so many things I can't even begin to know where to stop: modern feminine supplies, extra strength Midol, extra strength Excedrin, my pal Denise slipping me a few Firocet that have saved my life a few times this month, diet caffeine my Momma gets for me, my puppy Charlie always being so tail-wagging-yipping happy to see me when I've been gone even as short a time as twenty minutes, the Wii and having fun figuring out the problems in Boom Blox, a good night's sleep, Secret anti-perspirant, but mostly my beautiful family and the prayers so many have been saying for me and mine (thank you, sniff... really)

Ooo, red carpet time... ciao for now!

I loved this! You are all so funny and dear! I would NOT make Michael sleep outside, EVER! Doesn't he remember that he slept in my bed with Dee AND Diana through several false alarms and on the night Chris was born???!! Well, he's not getting my bed this time but we can come up with something INSIDE at least! Silly boy!

I have missed you, too, but have barely a moment to blog, due to crazy Musical Hell Week.

Two quick questions for you:
1) Do you need more of the above-mentioned RX? I just got mine refilled and would be happy to share.

2) Does Allison need a ballgown for her show? I have several cool ones from which she could choose, and would be happy to loan her one. When is her show?

Hmm. I guess that was really three questions.

This was a fun Sunday Six, I enjoyed "hearing" from the entire family...a wonderful idea...I wish I had more people living with me!! Sounds like a lot of excitement at your house. I hope you have another great week and that Steve's trip to Park City has a happy ending! We're praying for you.
