I need a vacation...

The time is 5:22, I am sitting at work (wishing I was home) and our computer system has been down most of the day. It's difficult having your computers down when you deal with newspapers. If they call in and their systems are down (which means they have to print their newspapers NOW to meet their deadline for delivery) we can't help them and that makes them frustrated. So all but one of the help desk guys have gone home to use their computers.
So I send the caller to the help desk guy here and he sends the call to the guys at home on their cell phones and HOPEFULLY they can help them..
I'm glad it's not yesterday because we had major problems with a couple of newspapers...their systems were totally down..

I need a vacation to somewhere with no phones, no car sounds, just peace and quiet and the beautiful moon and stars. Maybe Lake Powell (1 L or 2?).... Awe, I miss those days! I think I would even like the cars and sirens of Capistrano along with the sound of the waves on the beach..."Aarrgghh" maybe I just need a smoothie and a good chick flick.


30 minutes until I can go home (of course everyone else has gone home because of the computers, except me and Russell on the help desk). What a lonely office :(

OK, I'll stop complaining now and count my blessings. Yea, here comes the weekend:D

Jealous

PS: The great guy at the end of 2 blogs ago (pictures of my family) is none other then my handsome hubby. So far he has shed an amazing 37 lbs . I am so proud of him.

ok, so this picture thing is driving me crazy. As you can see below, I posted pictures of the people that I love the most. Not only do I have pictures but I also had names and really cute captions. Every time I wrote something new the pictures would move and so would the captions (aarghh).

Nothing would line up!!! (and by the way Adam, I need a family picture). So I finally just erased the captions.

Just know that I love you all

"I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase, mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention with depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to that counsel. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity-the pure love of Christ-will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness."

(Marion G. Romney)( I think President Benson said something similar to this also)

COULD YOU USE ANY OF THOSE PROMISES?

President Boyd K. Packer has asked us to spend less time on things of no importance and more time doing things of eternal value. This is REALLY HARD for me because I am an evening TV addict. I used to ask my kids "Can you tell the Lord what is in his scriptures or can you tell him the lines from all the sitcoms and movies you have watched?" (OK I didn't say that word for word that but it was close).

So as I go through withdrawal, the shakes and extreme nervous irritation, just bear with me while I cut back ( I can' t go cold turkey) on the amount of TV I watch.

I love you all, thanks for listening to me rant :D
