Feels so good

Yesterday was a great day for us. Stuart was ordained an Elder, and, of course, given the Melchezideck Priesthood. It feels so good to have the Priesthood in my home again.
Patrick was ordained an Elder the Sunday before he went to the hospital the first time back in May.
It is so good to see them progressing in the gospel after all the ups and downs they have gone through with the gospel in their lifes.
Patrick also got his Patriarchal Blessing last fast sunday. I know he felt the spirit witness things to him a couple of times during the blessing because of the things we talked about on the way home from his appointment with the Patriarch. All I can really say is -I am going to be a grandma. (NOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE) He has things to do first.
During our talk on the way home he said he felt for a long time that Paul was not the only one I would marry. That surprised me because I don't think he has ever read my blessing, and that is something I have felt for many many years. Right now I am pondering how I can head the admonition to "remember [my] first and primary responsibility rests in the home as a mother" and still go to school because now I need to provide for my kids. Somethings are so confusing.
As for the relax/don't work so hard...The kids and I went camping for the fourth of July. It was really nice, I could have spent another day or so. I didn't get any of the things done that I should have (homework). I just sat around the camp site and visited with a friend. Today I should have spent the day studying for tomorrow's test. Instead I spent 2 hours in my garden, did some home work at that same friend's (I needed to play some phonics games with her kids) then I tried to study but spent the last few hours weeding my flowerbeds. I don't know if it was relaxing or not. The gardening should have been but I kept thinking about the test I should have been studying for. Like I have heard it said, everything gets more important than finals. Oh well, I have all night. hehehe

So what do you think it is?

Ok, so, back in December around finals time, I took an hour out of my day to go to the dr. to find out what the bumpy patch of skin on my temple was. He diagnosed and treated it as a fungus. It imediately went away with one application of the med. Then during christmas break I got a similar but VERY itchy patch on my wrist. I went back to the dr's office, saw a new dr. and he diagnosed it as something I needed to see my family dr about. So I made the appointment, an my family dr. made a maybe diagnosis of scabies or dry skin; and treated both. The rash got worse, but I continued to treat the dry skin with the awful goo he perscribed, which didn't seem to make much difference. Yesterday I saw another dr, the fourth, a dermitologist this time, he diagnosed it as hives and gave me a year perscription for claritan and samples of the "new and refined zertec." Seems like they are all guessing. Anyone else want to take a guess. It is extreemly itcy-like flea bites-especially first thing in the morning and when I get hot or stressed. The itchy feeling comes before the little white bumps. They come after I start scratching and look like headless zits. The "zits" go away within 15 minutes of me not sctrathcing.
All this started after I took the moldy insulation out of my bedroom ceiling. The second dr. said the rash was not from the insulation since I was so covered up when I took it out. (Hood, gogles, gloves, cover-up suit, breathing mask...) Soooo, any guesses/diagnosis?

linking?

Can anyone help me with linking your blogs to my blogsite? I want to be able to go to your blogsites from mine, like on Randon and Lori's sites.

SWAT Team

SWAT Team
The SWAT Team from the local PD did some training in the house down the street. All the officers lined up behind the first guy who was holding a sheild, and they all marched to the house and "raided" it. There was a picture of a very buff sweaty guy with a big rifle just inside the door of the SWAT van.
