Compiled News

I just wanted to list some updates real quick...

1. Lucy is going to be blessed on Sunday, I am so excited!  It will be certain that my makeup will be all over my face after Sacrament meeting. 
2. Lucy is getting a helmet!  Her head is really flat and needs help.  I picked out a cute design that has hearts on it.  It was ordered yesterday, so hopefully we will get that on her soon!
3. The Government may finally help Lucy here soon!  That would be great!  It will really help to have that money to give aid to Lucy and the equipment she will need.  Cross your fingers and say a prayer that everything goes according to plan! 
4. We went to Yellowstone and had our car break down in the Park, glad my parents were there to help us. The starter went out at got it fixed at Old Faithful. We spent more than we planned, but it was still nice to get away for a little bit.
5. I am pretty excited about having a garden, it's been fun!  Not evertything has worked, but it's been great to have.  I am trying to pollinate the watermelon plant with a paint brush.  Nothing is growing on it, but finally the cucumbers plants are producing cucumbers.  I was getting worried about that, but looks like it will work out.  Our Corn is growing nicely and the green beans have been producing really well.  And of course our Crazy Pumpkin patch is all over the place.  I planted some carrots and cilantro in place of where the onions were supposed to grow.  I don't know know what happened to the onions, I must have done something wrong.  The cilantro is growing and so are the carrots.  I got the cilantro in the dollar section at Target.  It had a little plastic green house to grow them.  They really work!  I love that little dollar section at Target.
6. I cut down the crazy plant that is wrapped around our mail box. Lucas named it "IT" from the Adamms family. 
7. We got our fence mostly fixed, the company that did it is horrible and haven't finished the job. And they over charged us, they aren't getting paid till they fix it.  They are called Pro Link Fence, just so you know to never go to them if you need a fence.
8. Lucas and I are playing Halo again, we love that game. 

Hope you all are having a great summer!

Think before you speak

You know that saying "Think before you speak" people need to do that.  I mean we all have those moments, but the things I have heard lately are beyond idiotic.  Here are examples.

"How come your child has a feeding tube?  What is wrong with her?"
"Lucy is 9 months? She can't be 9 months, she doesn't look like 9 months."
"Why does the baby have a fat head?  Why does she have fat feet too?" 

Oh and my personal favorite..

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I was expecting your baby to look like a "Vegatable" when I saw her."


Yep, and more of that happened all within a week.  One of the comments was from my niece the "fat head" comment.  But, it still hurts.  Another lady tried to talk about my baby, but I brushed her off.  90 percent of the comments that were said, were from people I have never even met.  How insensitive and rude are you?  I know you are curious, but it's none of your business.  If I don't know you, stay away from me if you are going to get in my business.   Unless, you are going through it yourself. 

I don't go to Relief Society for this very reason.  I don't want to be asked a million questions from women I haven't met.  I am really done talking about it with people that I don't know.  I almost lost it on a woman today.  If I wouldn't have been at Church I might have exploded, I am near the breaking point. 

Yes, something is wrong with my child, what's your excuse?  At least she has one.
