So many things

I have finally conquered using "I Photo" on our Mac to upload photos to my blog :) It feels like I never have anytime or desire to sit down and blog. I will try to be better. We had Stake Conference a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. Christy went with us to the Adult session on Saturday night. We sat in the very back so she could color and read without distracting others. Both the Saturday and Sunday session were so very spiritual and helpful to me. A lot of what they talked about was red flags on things that David and I need to work on in our home. Our Stake President has encouraged each member to have a daily personal devotional. This is an area that I need to work on. It's not a habit of mine yet and I am working on making it a habit. On June 24th I went to the Neighborhood food exchange. This month I went an hour early because in May I was a half hour early and only received produce. This time I was the 20th person in line. I got a lot of food. I had so much produce that I knew would rot before we could eat it so I called a few neighbors and unloaded my produce on them. If you look at my food blog you will see three celery recipes in a row. I ended up with 11 stalks of celery, I only kept two. Good thing I can go online and find recipes! I have gone so long without having a migraine and in the past two weeks I have had two bad ones. Not sure whats going on with that. We didn't do anything exciting for the Fourth of July. David had duty on Saturday so that pretty much cemented us to home. Monday we went to the California State Fair in Delmar. It was not a very pleasant experience. I had a headache and the fair was simply too BIG!!! I think my all time favorite fair is the Clark County Fair. Yesterday I got a not so pleasant surprise when I went to pick up Christy from school. The principal was waiting with Christy for me. Christy had written a not at all nice letter to her teacher. I bet if they hadn't had already called Child Protective Services on me they would have after that letter. Christy has been really struggling socially lately. She is having a really hard time at school. She only has a few friends. She gets made fun of for some of her actions. Christy is currently with teacher number five just for her third grade year. Lately I feel hopeless I have no idea what to do for her anymore. We all had to meet with Child Protective Services last week. It's not the first time but it seems to really get to me every time. I am really struggling. I wish I knew what to do about Christy. I love her so much and I only want whats best for her and I have no idea what that is. I only hope that her new therapist will help Christy to work thru all the things that are going on with her. I am so grateful that I have David. He has been my strength in so many situations.

Tonight while we were sitting at dinner there was a 5.7 Earthquake. It felt like a train was racing by right outside our walls, then the house continued to shake for a few seconds. It was so cool. It was not bad enough in our area to do any damage.

Very early in the morning Christy and I are headed to St. George. I need to get the car safety inspection and re-registered. One of the perks of being in the Military is that we can keep our car registered in Utah but not be required to pay the taxes :) So nice!!! It will be nice to spend a few days with my family, too bad it is going to be hotter than HELL! The heat increases my headaches and migraines, and my orneriness.
