thie may 28 2012 scorpion ammonia a daughter s apartment and a short update posted by kweenmama under adapting blended family connecting family kids learning mom mother parenting scorpion step families time tags apartment phoenix pictures scorpion vacation young adult 3 comments here is what i learned today if you pour ammonia on a live scorpion it will not sting itself to death i learned that today because i tried it i tried it on a scorpion i discovered on my daughter s apartment patio while i was here alone moving things around with bare feet the ladies who told my daughter huh that a scorpion will sting itself to death if sprayed with ammonia were wrong all that the nasty little critter did was crawl to safety under the wall and then a little later he she it crawled up the wall perhaps the trick didn t work because i poured ammonia on the ugly creature instead of spritzing it nicely with a spray bottle but one would think that if a little spray would make it sting itself to death having a downpour of ammonia on top of it would make it not only sting itself but also make it do a dance perhaps some squirming maybe even a few flips wouldn t it nada i think all i accomplished was to make it mad and maybe even vengeful i should probably watch my step tonight sooo an update sort of mack and i used this memorial weekend to make the 12 hour drive to huh s apartment in phoenix to take her bedroom furniture to her she decided not to come home from school for the summer got herself an apartment bought a couch got a full time job and a dog she s been sleeping on the couch which causes her back to hurt so being the mommy that i am i drove her bedroom furniture from our home down to her mack came with me to switch off driving since my ex lives in phoenix the girls went to visit their father this afternoon which is how i came to be all alone at my daughter s apartment with a monster scorpion since the girls haven t returned from visiting their father yet i have decided to spend some time in blogland school put me far behind on posts about our blended family and there is so much i could have posted about but it will be too hard to catch it all up i will however post a few pics here and there from the months i was absent from blogland here are a few from our family vacation in california in august dance off in the two vehicles on the way to california stuck in traffic still stuck in traffic trying to keep us as anonymous as possible creates problems when choosing pics for my blog some of the best pics don t get posted but maybe the pics posted will give an idea of the flavor of our vacation until next time i m off to peak at the patio and see if the scorpion has recruited friends in his vengeance april 30 2012 shake out posted by kweenmama under adapting blended family family kids learning mom mother parenting salt lake city step families step mom step mother teenagers utah tags emergency emergency preparedness 5 comments yawlin text to huh earthquake i broke my leg hub text to huh earthquake me and the dog are fine under my desk your mom is upstairs naked and screaming my text to huh earthquake hub and i are at home hub and max are both safe under his desk i stubbed my toe huh text to me hub mentioned you were naked mom huh text to me and screaming my text to huh well ya know squid text to huh aaaaaaahhhhhhh i got my leg broken by a pissed off 40 pound swan after a fallen tree crushed its crib mack text to huh earthquake i m fine in an outhouse in the woods shroom text to huh earthquake i m at school i tore some ligaments in my shoulder but i can still walk momo text to huh at school i m okay my text to huh k what you are supposed to do now is send me a text letting me know the status of everyone you have heard from huh text to me yawlin and squid both suffered broken legs squid s leg got broken by a pissed off swan shroom has torn ligaments in his shoulder and can still walk why would an injured shoulder make it so he can t walk mack is okay in an outhouse in the woods hoob text to huh earthquake actually i died huh text to me and hoob just text me saying actually i died so there you go have not heard from juju my text to huh ok maybe we assume juju died did you hear from momo huh text to me yes she is at school and okay juju text to huh earthquake i died but then i got better hut text to me juju died but then she got better and so went our very first family emergency drill our state held a statewide shake out a week and a half ago to see how prepared we all would be if the big one hit because i had read that it is good to have a contact person out of state to contact in case land lines get tied up in an emergency we chose huh to be our contact person since she goes to school out of state we also chose to text her rather than call her because i also read that sometimes cell towers get jammed with all the emergency calls coming in but that texts sometimes can get through easier the shake out was set for 10 15 a m on april 17 schools places of work churches emergency services personnel all participated we instructed our kids that as soon as the drill started at their school it was time to text huh they could choose to make up an injury if they wanted as you can see from the above text exchanges our family members personalities shone through loud and clear in their texts there are two purposes to this post the first and most important one is to get families thinking about emergency preparedness and perhaps about having a similar drill it is wise to have a contact person out of state who can get details from your family members if you all happen to be away from home in various places when a natural disaster hits the second purpose is to announce that i have a break from school until june 5 and so i might be able to visit blogland a few times during my break maybe there are carpets to scrub and windows to clean and baseboards to wipe down there is a youth conference to plan for my calling in my church there is a girls camp to plan for my calling in my church there is laundry to do daily dishes the dreaded grocery shopping and the typical mommy and wifey things i do each day so maybe i will be able to post a few times during my break maybe i ve missed blogland september 18 2011 update posted by kweenmama under blended family connecting family kids mom mother parenting step families step mom step mother teenagers time tags update 6 comments i m not going to feel guilty i m not blogging has to be put on the back burner graduate school is tough it is time consuming i want to do my best and so i let other things go blogging is one of them i am not deleting my baby but i just don t know how often i will get to post or visit the blogs of others and so with that said here is a quick update on our family hub will celebrate birthday 48 on thursday he is also enjoying the fruits of his gardening efforts zucchini or spaghetti squash anyone

is looking forward to attending college and enjoying this new phase of his life huh spent the summer with us but is now back in school in arizona she recently sent me a text letting me know she had just killed a scorpion in her dorm room oh my juju is attending the local community college while living with us she works at a thai restaurant and is looking for an apartment with her cousin mack her plans to go to design school in california have been put on hold with five of us attending college this school year we thought she would get more student financial aid than she did she we can t afford the short fall so she is working and saving money while taking online courses for her general ed she is considering being a nanny in new york for a year to establish residency there and then attending a design school in new york and paying the resident s tuition instead of the much higher tuition charged to people from out of state shroom just celebrated his 18th birthday and is enjoying his senior year of high school he has discovered rock climbing and tries to do it every chance he gets hoob recently did some house sitting for the neighbors across the street while they were out of town they forgot to get the garage door opener from her when they returned and so hoob sat at the window of her bedroom and made their garage door open and close while the two teenage daughters were in the front yard freaked them out my daughter is such a prankster yawlin on his own organized the fellow members of his scout troop to make cookies for their scout leader who had fallen at work and had

comments i have two weeks left for this block of my graduate studies and they will be two weeks from hades time to take a break from blogging so that i can focus on my school work and my family of course c ya july 11 2011 girls camp posted by kweenmama under connecting family lds learning mom mormon teenagers the church of jesus christ of latter day saints time tags girls camp lds girls camp 6 comments yesterday i returned from our ward congregation girls camp with my call as young women president comes the annual summer girls camp last year it was a stake camp all wards in our geographic location and lasted for five days this year it was only three days but i still came home exhausted and a little stressed about all the school work i haven t done but even with as tired as i feel the camp was a great success the girls and leaders had fun unity was forged and many expressed feeling closer to god though i came home with almost 500 pictures i can only share a few here to allow for anonymity our theme was a survivor theme look to me and survive most of the usual camp activities occurred we did a craft went on a hike played games acted silly enjoyed the scenery and the wildlife but it did rain both evenings which prevented us from having campfires and roasting marshmallows it also made it too wet to go on a snipe hunt which was a bit of a disappointment to the older girls here are a few pictures that perhaps give a bit of taste of what camp was like inside one of the cabins one of the girls put my hair up into a drill team do appetizers for dinner a visitor service project the best part for me was being at camp with my daughter hoob she really blossomed in a leadership position and she received the award for being the funniest i will take these experiences any day whether school work gets done or not july 6 2011 snow in july posted by kweenmama under blended family connecting family mom mother parenting step families time utah tags 4th of july cabin snow in
