I miss the sun, working in the yard, having it be light until 9:00pm, wearing flip flops and more. I guess that is what is so good about Spring--there is nothing like it after a long cold winter. I have been crossing days off the calendar for January and have been getting quite a bit of satisfaction from that. I'll get the same satisfaction from crossing days off February--Wahoo, it's a short month!!!
This past week my boss sat down with the social workers and had to give us the bad news of drastically cutting our salaries--beginning immediately. They said it was preferable to laying us off. He is not sure we will have jobs next fall. If we do, it will be likely that we will have another pay cut. So Ned and I have been thinking of every possible way to decrease spending and live on a lot less (that food storage may really get used). I see this happening all around me with family and friends and I really do pray for all of us. I have hope for Spring, for a stronger economy, for a job next fall, that I will be able to buy my little grandbaby some fun things. I can FINALLY afford to buy cute baby things and yet I cannot now.
I've really been thinking about resolutions and changes for the coming year. Besides the above words, I'm really going to try to be less critical in everything. I believe the "Secret" and know that we attract good or bad things into our lives with our thoughts and actions. I'm going to really try to study the scriptures more and also, Britney, you'll like this one, I'm going to prepare for Gospel Doctrine by reading and studying and pondering the lessons and also read and study and ponder my Relief Society lessons ahead and give them much thought so I can learn the gospel better and have my faith and testimony grow.
Well that is all so serious--so I need some fun and lightheartedness in my life--I thought I'd start with the little joke on the top of my blog.
I'm glad I can keep in touch with you all through blogging--thanks for doing them!

If you lived in San Diego you wouldn't have to cross off the days in January...because I'm in flip-flops EVERYDAY!!:) You just need to take off for a long weekend and come and play and spend less by crashing at our house!!
it's me Jamie logged in on my husband's name!!
You, critical?!
That's rough, though. But yeah, at least you keep your job(s), so far. We're lucky, so far. My company seems to be slogging on. We actually still have overtime.
Keep smiling! If you lived up in Seattle, you'd be crossing off October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June......and we had a sunny 4th of July MAYBE every other year!
I miss the sun too. Brad and I just returned from a whirlwind weekend stint in Southern California (Family stuff). Yesterday we played around in sunny LA all day. What a difference it makes on your brain to come back to this crap! Depressing. Sorry about your job situation. It seems to be affecting just about everyone I know these days in one way or another.
love the comic, maybe we should take a quick trip down to disneyland. it would make you happy.- baby catcher is about a mid-wife and all her cool stories through the 70s, 80, and 90s. it made me want to have a home birth with a midwife
Get yourself down to Dixie then!!!!!
I am totally up for a trip to SG this weekend, and we will make it CHEAP! Don't worry about buying baby stuff, I am just going to want to have you around for the two months your off! Thats better than presents...
