OH NO!!!!

Oh yes, I have a really bad ear infection. It made the whole left side of my face swell up three sizes bigger. My ear is so big I think it's going to burst! The doctor gave me some drugs for it so we'll see if it gets better. It was so painful I asked for a blessing, I'm sooooo greatful for the preisthood.
About four months ago I had Strep throat. A few weeks after that I got shingles and couldn't go to Thanksgiving dinner with the family, it was no fun by myself. Now I have this extremely painful ear infection. I think it might be a huge boil in the beginning of the ear canal followed by a regular ear infection, the type that little kids get, by the ear drum. It just adds one more thing to all the crap going on in my life. YEAH ME!

Swollen ear. Normal ear

Going CRAZY!!!!!



With all the CRAP in our lives right now, we had to get out of the house and blow off some stress. So we went to the Hollywood Connection and had a blast. Every Monday they have a wristband special. For $7 you can ride all the rides, mini-golf and go roller skating. So we had fun in the bumper cars, the dragon, and other rides as well as mini golf. We even tried roller skating, the kids didn't really like roller skating, they only made it around one time. I'm glad it was included in the price for the wristbands. We were able to do all the rides several times and had some much needed family fun! Thank you Gramps for giving us the money so we could treat our family to some fun, and much needed stress relief.

Hello all,
We are still looking for employment. The market is so tough right now. We have been doing small jobs for family and friends. We have had so many people help us with suggestions of work as well as other things. We are so grateful to all the people that have helped us in this low time in our life. Zack has been off track and is glued to the TV. He has played with friends, enjoyed his new toys and the Wii. Cortnee loves playing with her princess dolls.
