Text of the page (random words):
s break hellishness i had a pretty big dispute with my 11 year old that morning over nothing important really can t even remember what it was about now and it s only been 4 days as i read it our family was also only about 3 weeks past barely saving our puppy from parvo may seem like no big deal to some but for us it was a pretty big deal even the vet thought the dog was dead but somehow she made it through so when i got to work tuesday morning this week the first email i saw was one from my sweet hubby saying that he loved me and he sent me the link from britt s post who knew he read her blog i guess it was his way of subtly telling me to chill in the mornings so here is a little taste of my big sister brittany you can read more of her cool posts by clicking on the shawn brittany blog link be sure to have your tissues on hand puttin things in perspective have you seen that billboard the one that says pets are children too don t abandon them it s right there outside of las vegas as you head south on the i 15 it always makes me laugh because really pets are children um no i mean sure there are some similarities especially when it comes to their manners but i don t feed my dog at the table and i don t leave my six year locked in a kennel for hours at a time while i m out running errands my kids also figured out that whole don t pee on the carpet thing whereas the dog eh not so much this past sunday though i dreaded seeing it guilt ate away any attempt at derisive laughter i could muster when we passed it eight hours into our twelve hour drive home from utah to california by that time it had been nearly twenty four hours since we d seen lola aka the stupid dog for on the eve of the new year and also of our departure she had run away into the wilderness surrounding my parents home a wilderness full of coyotes at least one wolf and other various and assundry wildlife but still an area she thought would be safer than the front yard where we were letting off fireworks we looked for her for an hour after we noticed her absence searching with flashlights in the freezing cold calling her name until we were too frozen to stay out any longer the next morning we expanded our search area and put off our departure time by three hours but without any luck so we put three crying girls in the car and drove away sans dog and now as another cold night approached without any sign of lola there was the billboard staring down at me with its accusatory words i had abandoned my child to the wolves coyotes and owls after only a three hour search what kind of pet parent was i and what about all those times i had called her dummy or stupid instead of appreciating her loyalty i had complained about her always being underfoot instead of relishing the fact i had something who would never outgrow cuddling i pushed her off of my lap you know what s even worse i joked about her running away or being eaten i said those things out loud forgetting everything i had learned from reading half of the secret about sending things out into the universe if you send out a thought to the universe it just might comply and it doesn t always get black humor so you best be careful what you throw out there and those pets are children people must be doing all right because there were two more of those billboards that i had never seen before pointing their doggy paws at me i tried to console myself that at least i had been feeding her left over turkey and ham for the past few days mostly because we were out of dog food and i was too lazy to drive into town for more but also because she liked it then it occurred to me that my plying her with meaty treats made her an even tastier morsel for whatever animal had got her perhaps i sound a little callous about my dog s demise but i really did feel very sad and guilty about not finding her and for not being more responsible and thinking to lock her up before the fireworks knowing how skittish she is and all but then i remembered something four years ago on a similar new year s day my friend jenny while on vacation in utah had to say an unexpected good bye to her four year old boy after he was involved in a fatal sledding accident she started the new year in 2008 by putting a little casket with russell s body in it on an airplane and flying home her life completely changed kind of puts the loss of a dog in perspective doesn t it when i remembered it was the anniversary of russell s death i started thinking about a lot of other things like how i would feel if it were one of my children i had lost instead of the dog would i be regretting i hadn t appreciated them more stopped to hold them when they needed it looked for the positive side of their faults i thought about that a lot i thought about it through the next day as we still didn t have any word about our dog and i became even more certain she hadn t survived two nights out in the wild and i thought about how much my perspective had changed when i found out russell died suddenly the little things i got angry with my kids over didn t seem nearly as important as appreciating the time i had with them the fact that no one is immune to loss hit hard and i resolved to remember that and treat my loved ones accordingly but then i did something jenny can never do i forgot i forgot that things can change in an instant and without warning i forgot that we can t determine how long we ll have a child or a spouse or a parent or any loved one i forgot that life is fragile so my new year s resolution this year is this to put things into perspective i will hold the things close that matter and let go of the things that don t and you know what happened after i made that resolution i got a call from my parents that my dog had been found stupid dog but her rescue and the kindness of my parents neighbors is a story for another blogpost happy new year posted by brittany at 10 10 pm 8 comments posted by j r amber and co 1 comments friday december 9 2011 the things i ve learned and or experienced lately so lately i have had some pretty awesome things plus some not so awesome things going on so i thought i would share i ve experienced my baby girl turning 11 she sang in her final primary program in church and i cried just like i cried during her first primary program when she was 3 next summer she will be a young woman and i m not real sure where my little baby went i ve experienced halloween with kids who are getting older and one of them the boy actually said i don t really want to go trick or treating what who what did you say i ve experienced a thanksgiving full of things i should express more gratitude for on a daily basis i ve realized how truly blessed i really am i ve experienced wii bowling with my dad it was awesome the best part was when belle told him look papa your wii guy looks just like you with only some gray hair on the sides and he s bald on the top picture her hands waiving next to her ears and then circling around the top of her head as she says this i ve played beauty shop with my mom we also stayed up late laughing and crying with each other it was great i ve had to let my youngest go to kindergarten even though i wish i could stop time and keep her little forever i ve learned that flag football really kinda sucks but my son learned a lesson by not quitting even though he really wanted to we promised him that next year he will get to play contact football instead of weenie football no offense to those of you who put the program together this year you did a great job we had a wonderful coach it just wasn t for us i ve learned what the word parvo means apparently everyone in the world knows what this word means but me and i wish i could go back 1 week to when i didn t know it s a really really bad thing we as a family have made a commitment to keep the spirit of christ in christmas we are focusing on being kind to one another and remembering the real reason for the season december seems to be going well so far we have been reading uplifting christmas stories every night before bed and trying not to let christmas stress us out but rather lift us up posted by j r amber and co 1 comments sunday august 7 2011 perfection i have a problem with perfection i always want things to be perfect and they never are enough said my lovely sister is visiting my parents in paradise avon for about a month this summer she happily volunteered to keep my children in paradise avon for a few days bless her little heart and bless my mother s heart too because it is her house that will suffer the consequences so my lovely little monkeys have been gone for a full week now at first the silence was enjoyable then strange then eerily strange and now the silence is annoying everything seems to be perfect all the beds are made all the laundry is done the dishes are clean the toilet is clean the floors are swept mopped the carpet has been vacuumed and there are no traces of messy hands anywhere so it appears to be perfect someone please stop by unannounced for once while the house looks this good j r and i have enjoyed some much needed alone time together and it has been great but i miss them terribly is all the perfection in this house worth the loneliness not hardly i think i ll take the messes and enjoy them from now on posted by j r amber and co 0 comments tuesday july 12 2011 wal mart i hate wal mart and before you start yelling don t be a hater in your best mexican accent please realize that i hate wal mart for personal reasons because i m selfish and if you know what i do for a living you will begin to sympathize with my selfishness i don t hate wal mart because they run all the mom pop s stores out of business and i don t hate wal mart because of the way they treat their employees or because i can t get out of there without spending less than 100 or blah blah blah blah blah i hate wal mart because i have to go there and i don t like to have to go there i live in a small town and it is inevitable that every time i go there i will run into someone i would rather not run into i only go to wal mart if i absolutely have to for instance they sell my favorite tortillas that have saved my marriage tortilla land uncooked flour tortillas if you haven t tried them you should they saved a poor gringa like me from utter destruction in a world where apparently every mexican wife should know how to make homemade tortillas just like wela s not only does wal mart sells these bad boys but they sell them in an 18 pack for the same price as the 12 pack at other competitor s stores i have no choice but to have to go there ok so that s really the only reason why i would have to go to wal mart we need tortillas crap i guess i have to go to wal mart the following reasons come in a close 2nd after the tortillas i can buy a shload of dog food for 10 bucks enough said oh and i can buy a bottle of the generic zantac for 4 bucks ah crap and sometimes in my weaken state i will answer the nurse with wal mart when she asks what pharmacy should i call this prescription into for you i always always regret that one why can t i ever think straight during a doctor visit with a sick whiny child i went to wal mart on saturday night around 6 00 so that i could be a good mormon wife mother and use saturday as my special day the day we get ready for sunday and i immediately regretted it don t get me wrong i ran into some people that i like my cousin s husband their 2 oldest kids for example however when i walked away from them i realized how old i really am because i used to babysit those 2 when i was in college and now they are old enough to be too old and too cool to babysit anymore and then i ran into it brother r who is always smiling who smiles that much the same brother r who i ran into in a different grocery store 3 days ago and he asks have you seen my wife and this is my train of thought ha ha sucker that is the very reason i came by myself without the hubby kids this evening but you work at the jail right and you rein the bishopric keep this guy on your good side amber keep this guy on your good side oh man his wife looks just like sister h so if i have seen her would i even be able to make a positive identification so i answer with the truth sorry i haven t when i m in this store i really try not to look up at anyone otherwise i run into people who don t want to see me i try to get in and out unnoticed he laughed because he does know what i do for a living and i think he sympathized momentarily he walked away and i walked toward the pet section for the fantastic dog food and then i momentarily made eye contact with a friendly familiar face and smiled then continued walking then realized that was sister r throughout the course of the shopping spree i saw three individuals who would probably rather not have seen me but i just kept walking anyway and it was a nice breath of fresh air to look up and see uncle al aunt kathy behind me in the check out line ah there are good people in this town disclaimer i love my small town i live here on purpose just because some situations can be a little awkward for me at times does not mean that i hate this town i will buy my favorite tortillas if it kills me oh yeah and i love my job too posted by j r amber and co 2 comments sunday january 2 2011 merry christmas happy new year merry christmas happy new year hope everyone had a fantastic christmas best wishes in the new year so when a person hasn t posted on their blog for 2 full years where
