Last night, Mom and I were getting dinner ready for the rattlesnakes (Ali, Kate & Luke.) Mom grabbed hold of my hand to tell me something, I am sure it was very important. Right after she grabbed my hand, I quietly hollared, "Wait, wait, wait."
As she held my hand she asked me, "What?"
"Oh, nothing, now. I just had super glue on my finger."
At that moment in time, not only were we bound together for all eternity through the power of the priesthood, we were literally bound together through the scientic development of super glue. Is there a stonger bond than super glue???
OK, there is one: Mother and daughter.

Also, Why I Love My Dad
It would seem that blogging about my dad has replaced blogging about Oliver the Orange Cat....
Last weekend (while my kids were away for Thanksgiving :(), my dad took Mom and me to the mall. Isn't he sweet? Mom takes her wheelchair to the mall. She does this so she can shop Dad and I TO DEATH!!!
One time, we got on an elevator. Dad decides to man the buttons. He keeps pushing the button with the star by it. Over and over and over and over. Those who know my dad, know he is determined. Finally, I said, "Enough." I asked him why he kept pushing the button for the floor we were currently on?
"That stars means that it the floor we are on? I thought the star meant the floor I wanted to GO to."
Whatever Dad. Guess we are going to have to go to the mall until he gets it down!!

Why I Love My Dad
Today, at church, we were looking throught the lost and found. My mom lost her glasses. So, we were going through all the stuff. While searching, my dad came across a Provo City Library book.
"You should return this to the library, you have been there before."

An Interview and a Parent Teacher Conference
As you all know, I have been out job hunting. After a certain interview last week, I replayed it to my kids as a Saturday Night Live sketch. It truly had some hilarious moments. I often wondered if the interviewer knew what job I was interviewing for and if they knew the job responsibilities. They were very kind, but it was very funny and easy to replay for the kiddo :)
Well, yesterday, I had a Saturday Night Live parent teacher conference. Seriously. I am not kidding.
Luke's teacher is about sixty or sixty-five. She is a very kind woman. Luke and I went into his classroom and found that her room was being vacuumed. I thought, "Well, now that we are here, he will probably move to another room." Yeah, no. That didn't happen. The teacher sat us down right in the center of the room, right in the center of the vacuuming. And she said NOTHING about the vacuuming.
For a few minutes I thought maybe I was the only one that could hear the vacuum. The teenage boy was using one of those old canister vacuums. The ones you carry on your back. At one point he was standing right by my head vacuuming UNDER MY FEET. I could see Luke's teacher's lips moving, but could hear nothing for most of the conference.
Good thing he is a good student and I don't need to wonder if she was saying bad things about his academics!!

Mowing the Lawn
The lawnmower has been taken away from me for the rest of the season. I can't mow the lawn again until next spring.
What kind of dad takes away the lawnmower???

Job Interview
I have hit the pavement trying to find a job.
Last Friday, I had the longest job interview of my entire career. It lasted about one hour. Crazy, I tell ya. But, the crazier part was at the end when they told me they planned to hire me for a WEEK. A week!! Who sits through an hour interview for a week of work!
It is at a great little hospital just down the street from my parents. I am covering for a dietitian who needs to have some surgery done. Legally, hospitals have to have a dietitian around everyday of the week. So, they just need my face and signature for a few days.
I have two more interviews lined up for this week. One is with WIC and the other is at BYU library. I would be an assistant to the manager of the receiving department. I personally would choose the WIC job, but if I work at BYU library, I would be in the same building with my brother, Josh!! How freakin' cool would that be?
