I went to the Body Worlds show yesterday with two of my best friends of all time, Stacie and Alisha. It was fascinating. The show is full of people who have donated their bodies specifically to be put on display. There were babies at various stages of gestation from about 5 weeks to 28 weeks. That was the most fascinating part of the whole thing. The baby that was 9 weeks had little fingers and toes. Amazing.

We have been trying to go to this show for a year and a half. The first time we were going to see it was in New York but we were unable to. Then we made a special trip to Vegas to see it but the show ended the day before we got there. :-( We were so excited when we found out it was coming to Salt Lake. We even got postcards in the mail for free admission since we work in healthcare.

The show was downtown but since we look for every opportunity to get away from our kids, we stayed at the Little America, went out to dinner and stayed up late just chillin. We were even able to sleep in the next morning before going to the show. To top it off, Carisa came over from her dorm and went to the show with us. Fun day!

So, I've been meaning to explain the title of my blog, Domestically Disabled. While I was in school, I wasn't able to really be the mom I like to be. I had to focus so much on school. When school ended, I felt totally out of practice and it took me a while to get back into the mom thing. It's been 9 months since school ended and I'm finally feeling more comfortable about my mom role. I know, sad huh. So there you have it, my confession for the day.

I went back to the doctor because I still am not feeling 100% and he said that I still have an ear infection. He gave me a steroid, another antibiotic, some antibiotic eardrops and another prescription for allergy meds. He said if it doesn't clear up, I need to go to an ear, nose, throat doctor and have him drain my ear with a needle. Oh lets all pray that it clears up because there ain't no way I'm doing that. Oh no, you are dealing with the biggest wimp of all time when it comes to people poking me.

Sick Sick Sick

I feel sicker than a dog, I have ear infections, a sinus infection, and bronchitis. I haven't been sick in forever, and now that I get sick, I really get sick!

It's My Birthday

Happy birthday to ME! Really, it was just another day, I hate birthdays nowadays. They just remind me how OLD I really am. My kids say happy birthday and sometimes I'll even get breakfast in bed or somebody doing a chore without me asking, but then it's business as usual. Mom, can you make me this... mom can you do that...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY

I can't believe Carisa is 22! What happened! I feel like I just graduated from high school. Happy birthday Carisa! You are an awesome kid, er, I mean adult.

It's Here

The book is here. We now own 2 of them! No, my girls couldn't buy just one and share, they had to have their own copy so they could read it not stop and then start again when they are done. They went to Barnes and Noble which apparently had a "Bridal Shower" for two characters that aren't even real! They dressed up in prom type dresses for this thing! When I left them at home today to come to work, they were half done with the book already. I'm sure they are sitting there right now in the middle of the night reading.

My girls are obsessed!

Two of my girls are completely obsessed over this



They have both read the whole series at least twice and they can't wait for the movie to come out. Breanne stays awake practically all night reading. I guess it's a good thing but I never thought I would be threatening to take a book away from my kid!

I was driving home today and noticed they put the Angel Moroni on the Draper Temple today. It looked beautiful.

Ty off to camp

Here is Ty this morning at 5:30 am ready for camp. He was actually excited about it! He is usually the one saying "why do I have to go", or "I don't like the other boys". He is going up to Bear Lake to an aquatics camp and will be back on Saturday. One down, one to go. Breanne leaves at 8am tomorrow morning.

It's camp time!

Tyson is going to scout camp Sunday night for the week and Breanne is going Monday morning. Oh how I love getting them all ready, the last minute run to the store, the frantic searches for the hidden camping gear, I'm so excited! And what will I do all week with them gone? Maybe I'll get a chance to do some organizing.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Braden

Braden just started a full time job. He handles computer problems that come up with all the employees and also sets up computers for new dealerships and all the tent sales that they have. He is also taking some classes to certify in different computer things which I can't even begin to explain. He is going to be on a salary soon (in a couple of months after he gets his first certification). He just bought himself a new one of these



and also a set of




I'm kinda glad the drum set won't be set up at my house. I am so proud of him. He is growing up. He is also planning on moving out with a friend in a month. Two down, three to go. It's kinda sad.

Carisa is back

Carisa came back from her study abroad in Italy. She went there to learn the Italian language. She isn't fluent in the language at this point but she goes around speaking Italian and I wish I could understand her. She had the best time and didn't really want to come back to Utah. I don't blame her, I decided when I was I was on vacation there that I wanted to live in Italy one day when I'm done raising kids.

Summer

Is anyone ready for the kids to go back to school again? I sure am! Don't like the kids having all this free time to be bored, fight with each other, sit on their butts... If we lived in a house that had anything outside to do, it would probably be a different situation. But since we live in a neighborhood with a bunch of old farts, the kids can't really do much outside to have fun. We need to move.

Joy and Sorrow

One of the greatest joys in life is buying a new car. One of the greatest sorrows in life is having someone crash into you a week later and having to have it towed.

David loves us!

I went to work yesterday and saw this picture on the cabinet at the nurses station. We love David at work and obviously he loves us too! Actually, two of his cousins work with me and they had him autograph a picture for us.
