The Bite....


Yesterday while I was cooking dinner I heard a scream and a thud and then Brooklyn crying hysterically. I called to her and told her to come quick and as she came to me her nose was bleeding. I tried to find out what happen, but all she could do was cry.
Heather was there in a heartbeat and held her until she calmed down when she was able to find out that the dog next door had jumped up and bit her on her nose. She was up against the fence standing of a scooter that gave her just enough height to see over the fence of the neighbors. It took only seconds when the dog next door jumped up and bit her on her nose. Heather put ice on it and finally after awhile was able to calm her down. The dog got her good with puncture marks all over her nose. It bled for along time and then finally stopped. Heather call her doctor and told her what happen then the doctor told her to clean it up, put antiseptic on it, put a bandage on it then to come in the morning so she can look at it.
I felt so bad for her and can't believe that it happen. It was so quick and unexpected it just makes you feel so bad. I'm just glad that her nose is still in tacked and the dog didn't take a piece off. Sound gross, yet it will heal and not leave too much damage. Grandma's feel bad when terrible things happen.....

Life goes on


I know it's been awhile since I posted anything on my blog and all I can say is life just got in the way. We had a wonderful Women's Conference on Feb. 28 and Sister Wendy Nelson and Sister Sherri Dew were the speakers. It was awesome and the best part was being able to talk to them after it was over just as a Stake Relief Society Presidency. They were just sooo wonderful and Sister Nelson told me that she wasn't going to be able to come, but Heavenly Father had other plans. I am so glad He did they were both so great and the spirit was so strong I am grateful to them both for making the effort to come.
Another thing is I have joined the work force and am a Classified Substitute for the Alvord School District. It has been a eye opener and I really admire you women that work, have a family at home, and are still alive and well. Gosh, I have to be at work by 7:30am so I leave the house by 7:am and don't get home until 5pm (and can hardly move when I do get home). I really feel blessed to have a job when I know of others that are struggling to find one. Jen, our newest daughter in law, had a in with the school district (Her dad is the board president) and helped me get the job. One day they just called and said can you come today and be oriented and I was so surprised. They not only oriented me but finger printed, physical and TB test all in one day. I just started this week and have worked everyday except Wednesday and am all set up to work through next Wednesday. It is just subbing, yet I am in hopes of getting a permit position. They have a freeze on right now so at least I can sub. Well, got to go....hope everyone is doing well ....love to all
