Can't Get Much Worser Than This

As you can see, here is a most miserable person, one who is coughing, headachy, phlegmy, etc. It just doesn't get any sadder than this. Poor Scott started coughing last night and has been getting generally sicker as the day has progressed. He told me to tell you all "hey," in a very weak voice, with a tiny cough at the end. Breaks your heart, dutin it? Well he may live until tomorrow but probably no school for him. So how are all of you? Brett is now referring to my weekly phone calls as blog fodder. Well so be it, at least I know that you are alive and kicking. Last week was pretty slow, I can't stand being out of work, the days go so slowly. Having a day off just doesn't mean as much unless you have earned it. Jenna & Blake just got home from Las Vegas today. Okay I did report that last week, they got home from Las Vegas but surprise! It was this weekend. Jenna reported they saw two Broadway shows, "Phantom" and some other thing but she got sick on Saturday and so they scaled down their activities a lot. When they got home today to pick up the kids, who were at the neighbors playing in their yard, on swings and slides, with toys surrounding them, they really weren't too thrilled to see their parents. Anyone with a couple of dimes in their pockets, we need to set up a "Get a yard!" fund in Blake & Jenna's name. I would be happy to contribute. Wait, I don't have a job. Well I'll try my best. Jeff & Ash had a quiet weekend. Jeff went to a Jazz game and didn't tell me whether they won or lost. His school has reached a million minutes of reading time, so they are in contention for the Jazz player to come to their school. Jeff said the parents are as excited as the kids however they only have a communal space for 1000 people and there are 950 children in his school. So if the Jazz player comes, they have to keep it a secret, so only the kids will take part. Brett & Tara are doing very well. Tara apparently is being sent by her work to Calgary, Canada in March (or April) for some training. She's so excited and Brett gets to. . . stay at home with Stella, sadly enough. Brandon & Anna are happy and propering in Indiana, no tornado warnings for a couple of weeks. Granty is learning how to say his ABC's. By the time Anna comes in April, he will be reading at the very least, "Horton Hears a Who." Jason & Sara are leaving tomorrow for Phoenix. They will be attending a real estate investing school and are staying with Jenna & Blake until Saturday. My dad is so thankful that Jenna & Jeff have both called him within the last two weeks. You just don't know how that makes their day. Grandpa K - 356-5697, Grandpa & Grandma S - 624-4205. Scott took Grandma in to get her hair styled yesterday and then helped her get some groceries. She just can't drive anymore and neither can Ross, so the boys help them quite a bit and are grateful to do it. They are the greatest people. They have many hardships but you'd never know unless you really had to dig it out, then Grandma S will just say, "well we'll be okay, don't worry about us." Our temple here has been running on the reservation system since it started and now has realized that during the day, it's not necessary. So you only have to call in after 3:45pm. They are still working out the bugs. I guess the reservation lines, there are six, have been ringing off the hook, with few people to answer because it's all just volunteers. People are getting angry and upset because a lot can't get through, so it's been a mess. I might go up and volunteer until I can find a job. Cash sends his love, covered with dog hairs to all of you. We got 3 inches of snow today, it was beautiful, but is melting also. I think our bad winter storms are over for the year. We still need rain however to fill up the reservoirs. Thank goodness the roads have been clear. We love you and hopefully dad will feel better soon and won't be so pathetic. We love you! Ma & Pa Shirley
