Yuck!

Yesterday Kearney and Ireland and I were sitting out in the car waiting for Kylee to come out of the gym. Kearney had leaned up by me and all of a sudden a gross smell came drifting through the car. I wrinkled up my nose, looked at her (she was so guilty and you could see it by the look on her face) and said "stop doing that by me!". She giggled and then Ireland said "She does it all of the time at school". Apparently, during class, while surrounded by many students (there are 4 to a table), she just passes gas left and right! She doesn't care who is there! She laughed and laughed as Ireland told the story and was completely unrepentant. I tried to tell her how gross that is and that people don't want to be smelling her, but I don't think she cares! Yuck!

My Loss

For my birthday this June I hinted to James (told him) that I wanted a Kindle. I was pretty positive that I was going to get one and then James made a comment that made me sure he was not getting one. I remember thinking that if he didn't I was going to go out and buy me one. Well, on my birthday I was informed that I was getting an IPad! I was excited because I got all that went with it in addition to my Kindle! I loved it and so did my kids. Well, today, it slipped off of my lap and the screen busted in to a million pieces! I was talking to James on the phone (he is in Tucson) and I broke down. I was missing Utah and really not wanting to be away from family and then I added the loss of the IPad to that. I could not stop crying! I went in to the store where I bought it and found out that we had purchased an accident protection plan. Whew! The only problem was that almost as soon as we had purchased the IPad I realized all of the things that we could not do on it, and our computer was so old it wouldn't do anything. So, today I upgraded my IPad in to a MacBook Pro. I really do like it, but I am not able to have a kindle on it. The one thing I really wanted for my birthday is now gone. All of the things that I can do on this computer are great, but I can't read my books! I was in the middle of a wonderful book, and I am stuck not finishing it! So now, I am telling the kids to hint to James (i.e. tell him) to get me my kindle as a present for Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed!
