Target

I have such a Love Hate relationship with this store!

It has great cute stuff!

Its a quiet shopping experience (unlike a certain store that rhymes with "malwart")

Its relatively clean.

I could spend hours in there.

BUT

It sucks all the money out of my wallet!

Its almost as bad as Sams Club or Costco.

New SEASON

Today marks the start of a new SEASON for my Utah Jazz !

I have always been a HUGE Jazz fan! I was the girl that could tell you any and all things about whoever was on the current Jazz roster. AK's free throw percentage. Who we were playing on what day of the season. Home record, away record. You name it I knew it.

I would get so involved in the game that pillows were thrown at the tv. Refs for sworn at. You know, words like you "crap head" or "Idiot" (not my finest hour, but the passion for this team runs deep)

I have a VERY deep dislike for the Lakers, Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe, and this guy Vlade Divac.

It was a joke when I was on bed rest with Kennedy that my family and neighbors were going to call my OB and tell him to order me to not watch any Jazz games because the stress might put me in to labor again.

I have even gone 3rd wheel to a game before so I could sit on the front row. I would do anything to get to go to a game.! Brett planned a romantic night for me once when we were first married. It consisted of Pizza, candles and watching the Jazz game. It was PERFECT.

I have met Jerry Sloan and Paul Milsap! And got both of their autographs!

But........it feels different this year.
I don't know as much about the player stats.
I don't know who we play and when and where it happens.

Is it because I am frustrated with the whole Boozer drama?
Or that Korver will be out for a few weeks after a surgery?
Or because the powers that be in TV land have made it impossible for me to watch a single game this season without talking my husband in to buying cable or satellite?

OR
Is this just a new SEASON of my life? One where my kids and my husband have risen far above the Jazz on my priority list? (There was a time where the gap was pretty close.) I feel more busy than I have in a while.
One where I have a lot of other things I need to be doing that are more important?
Like family time, scripture study, taking photos, blogging.........etc.


I think it might be a little of both.

You should know that.....

I like to make up my own words.

As you read anything I write you might come across words like
"Missionpresidentness" and "complainy" and "superheroness"

I am not a total idiot I know that these words may or may not be real.

But I like them.

And my use of punctuation has a tendency to vary. I am not completely sure how to use a comma.
Sometimes it ends up in the right place.
Please don't ever ask me how or when to use a semicolon.


Math was always more of my thing.

This scares me!

I really don't know how I feel about all this vaccination stuff going on. I DO think that what a lot of people have to say has SOME merit to it. But I personally don't know what to do or what the truth is. Thousands die from the flu every year. Which risk do I take?

Flu or Reaction to the vaccine?

I am terrified of Autism. But what risk do I take?

Measles and mumps, which killed so many before vaccinations, or a chance of Autism?

I have friends who believe very heavily that vaccines cause Autism. Then I have a pediatrician and a husband who is in the medical field who think there is a lot more to it than just vaccines.

Or does none of this matter because Heavenly Father has different trials and tests for each of us to go through?

How do any of you feel about this topic?
