A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Family Funnies #2...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

jodie actually thought there was a large tank of water on the other side of the wall (the water that was used to fill the bathtub) The shark was the guard of the tank, which she had no problem with. But she was afraid that when the water was on, we'd drain his tank too low and he'd come through the foscet. Somehow, i guess she thought that if i was in there, i'd be able to magically save her from being eaten in case this massive thing managed to get through in the first place. Didn't make any sense to me, of course, but i stayed nonetheless. (Not that i was being a nice sister; just cuz mom made me.) tehehehe

HAHAHA.... yah, you're right. It was cuz he'd get angry. But i remember once having an conversaion with you-Doe (while you were in the tub) about how he couldn't get through the wall cuz the wall was solid brick, or whatever, and thn you said he'd come through the fascet if he couldn't come through the wall
