Michael Jackson, yep, I saw the movie...

Taylor, McKenna, and mom went to see Michael Jackson movie and it was a wonderful experience... Now, don't get me wrong I think he is really creepy but Oh my, can he perform... If you don't give that to him then your not being fair... Even Venna like it... McKenna was really cute but I really loved seeing it with Taylor... She is my body for things like this...We watch American Idol together and we like to watch biographies on the TV... She is my body in things like this and we really enjoyed watching this movie together... Jacob calls them his boys and Bo calls them his package but whatever name you want to give them mine are giving me trouble... I have blood blisters on them and when they pop then I bleed... I was bleeding Friday morning and I couldn't figure it out where the blood was coming from... At 1 O'clock this morning I was drying myself off from going into the spa and I was bleeding again and this time I figured it out where it was coming from and yep it was my Boys/Package... It scared me enough to have Venna go with me to the emergency and they held me there until 6:30 AM and they said that my blood count was good and that they did not believe it was cancer but they want me to see my Doctor... Theron Billy and myself are now writing to each other and that makes me so happy... Venna and I are hoping that all our family along with Theron and his family will come to Thanksgiving on 2010 so we can have a reunion... Can you all try to put this on the calender... Theron signed off saying Your Son and I can't tell you how the tears flowed, so yes I definately have 9 children and three more grand children... That makes 23 now... I was told in a dream to start blogging and that dream was a no nonsense dream and now I am really seeing the benefits... Night.... 39... Oh by the way Corine I was really touched by your blog entry on wanting to get help for Darin... Our prayers are with you and Scott and especially Darin... 39

Brian did it he is a school board member...

Wow, I am so proud of Brian... He is not even here a year and he got voted in as a school board member... Now, the work is going to begin... I remember when I was made Bishop that it seem like it was just an hour that I felt honored and then I was on a service roller coaster like I have never been on before... Brian is going to have half of the people happy and the other half is going to be angry with him.... Rachael will be watched everywhere she goes and is going to be judged on a different level, but who cares, Brian is there to serve and I hope that he is successful in making decisions with the best intention and the (sorry Jake) hell with the rest of them... Jake is my language monitor and that is because he doesn't want me to say gray words in front of his kids... I admire that... I had a wonderful talk with Bo today about his ticket... I didn't want to talk to him yesterday because I wanted to be rational, it reminded me of a time when I came home from our cruise just to find out that my son Scott who did not have a licence ran into the building at the dairy here... I just went to bed and talked to him the next day... Both times I believe I did the right thing and oh by the way, they both went to bed wondering what was going to happen tomorrow and I think that might be the greatest punishment of all...Tayor and I are going to the movie by Michael Jackson this Friday and we are going to stop and get her a new IPOD that she saved half of her money for.... I love doing things with her... I think that Venna and McKenna is going also, but I know for sure Taylor and I are doing it... My class has finally stopped treating me like a substitute and we got some good things done today.... With all the headaches I really do love teaching... I am lucky to do a job I love... Night... 39

Jake, Bo, and crap!!!

I was officiating a lousy game and my knees were really bothering me... My knees are generally okay but I felt pain in them... What made matters worse is that Eastside is way better than Palmdale and yet in the third game Eastside was ahead 22-14 and ended up losing the game and that meant that I had to spend another half hour at the match... I was wondering why my knee was hurting and then I remembered a four hundred yard run, pushing Jacob's broken down car with Bo and Jacob by my side.... Four hundred isn't so much unless you are running up hill, yep, we were running up hill and I was drained.... Bo got a ticket tonight... I went to find him and when he was late and yes I did find him pulled over by a cop.... I am not happy and I would rather not talk about this event any more tonight... He was driving 78 MPH.... Crap!!!... I did hear from Theron Billy and that brought some excitement to this day.... I love you guys.... Night.... 39

I'm teaching again...

It felt great to go back to school and teach again... My class seem to be thrilled to see me again also... I've got this constant sore throat and it is painful and feels like it is shredding the back of my throat... And yet I am not sick any longer just in pain... I don't want to go and see the Doctor because I don't feel sick and yet it is annoying.... Any ideas out there.... Night.... 39

Thank you, Julie....

Thanks to Julie I now have faith in blogging again... I wrote the last blog and it told me that there was a problem and that it would not be published and I was so tired I didn't want to repeat it but she told me that the draft was still there and she was right... I had a horrible week of math training and it went from 8:00 to 3:25everyday last week... I also did 4 days of volleyball so invaribably I was getting home at 9:00 every night... The math training was okay but being away from my family and students, well, that stunk... Joshua and I did two games together last week... We did it together at Paraclete and Boron... Josh did a great job on a very difficult game at Paraclete and we ate at a really neat mexican restraunt in Boron... I've been fighting a sore throat so I did not go to church today... I think that was a wise idea... I still have a sore throat but I am not especially sick... I am tired but then again who isn't?.... John Beaudette put on his annual Halloween scare at his house... Tanner was scared to death but Andy just walsed right through all the Beudettes trying to scare her and just said I am here to get a lot of candy... Jesse went up there but Lina didn't.... Sorry Lina but I had to tell on you.... Taylor was scared to death with the monkey mask that John Beaudette had us put under her pillow... Brian is two days away from being on our school board... I hope he is ready because he is going to win... USC got crused by Oregon and it wasn't even close.... The Clippers suck again so I am already a Laker fan... I am having no fun with the World Series because I can't stand the Yankees or the Phillies... Good Night.... 39

I'm back....

A lot has happen since I have last written.... Taylor made me cry with her song she sang in Sacrament Meeting... I can't imagine someone singing so beautiful as Taylor, Rachael, and Jared in our family... I cannot sing a lick.... Taylor gave two talks also and she did such a great job... It was Young Women in Excellance in Sacrament meeting...Becca and Brent and company was here this weekend and that was so special... The Boys are just a crack up and they are so smart.... They were quoting Articles of Faith and I didn't learn them until I was 8 and even then I did not know them as well as Becca's boys.... Brent, Joshua, and I went to Cal City to play golf... It was a lot of fun and I beat Joshua by two strokes in playoff golf... We tied after 18 holes... Brent, Becca, Venna and I went and saw a horrible movie together, "Where the Wild Things Are"... The company was good... BYU got smashed by TCU and that really hurt... Julie helped baby sit Becca's kids and we appreciated that and Jared replaced my alternater in my van... See, I am a lucky guy... Friday, we had Jacob's family, Rachael's family, Joshua's family and Julie and Jared for fun and pizza... I am the luckiest person in the world to have such a wonderful family.... Bo played a lot of computer games and the only one's we missed was Scott and Corine and family... I do wish they could have been here.... I just went to my first stupid day of training while I missed teaching my own class... The government is so stupid, I just can't believe it....

Today was sure rich with stupidity!

Our state government who has zero money sent me to a training session today and is sending me all next week, also... I had about 10 minutes when I thought I was getting someting and is that worth being out of my class.... Crazy.... Like a 57 year old teacher who I feel has been successful is really going to change the way they teach... I just cannot understand the logic for it all... I had blood work done today to check my thyroids and I will let you know what happened.... I officiated a Desert Chistian high school game today... It cracks me up that they are sending a Mormon boy 100 dollars to do their game...Night....
