I got tagged!

My friend Heather tagged me. I guess I am supposed to tell you six of my quirks and then I get to tag some people also. So, here goes:
1. I love shopping in the plate/cup aisles. I don't know why, but I always like to go down those aisles and see what they have. I love buying new water bottles, bowls, and cups.
2. Whenever people talk to me, I am usually typing what they say in my head. Sometimes when I talk to Tevita, I type what I am telling him as I am rubbing his back.
3. I have to have my shoulders covered when I lay down or sit with a blanket on. I always tell Tevita to make sure my shoulders are covered when I die.
4. I love the number 7. Whatever I do, it has to involve 7. I always buy 7 of things, I wanted to have 7 in my family, I count to seven and then start over (like when I count the lines in the road I count 7 then start over.
5. I can't wink. No matter how hard I try, I just can't do it!
6. I am deathly afraid of birds. I get made fun of it all the time, but it's true. Even the chickens in my yard..yep, I'm scared of them! I have to have my kids run out and chase them before I can go outside.
I hope you all don't think I am crazy for all of these weird quirks. Now I am tagging Jamie, Bobette, Shirlyn, Adrienne, Misty, Jackie

What a day (and still wishing Pila was done w/school)

So, our day started out at 6am getting ready to go to the dentist again! I got there at 7:50am and the journey began. The doctor started and then gave a big sigh and said, "this is worse than I thought". Surprise Surprise...with all the trouble I have had with this tooth, why should this come as a shock? He gave me a shot and I have never felt anything like that before. I guess he hit a nerve while giving the shot. My whole face immediately went numb (after the initial pain). Then he said that I only had two canals because they had fused together. He said they were suppposed to look like a triangle and mine looked like a "C". At 9:15 he said, "Your appointment is supposed to end now but we aren't even close to being done." Then he told me that very few root canals take three appointments. I told him, "don't take offense to this, but I don't like having all these appointments." He finished (or so I thought) and then said, "go up front to make your appointment to finish". So, I am not done with my root canal yet! My next appointment is next Wednesday. I don't know how much more of this I can take! So, I don't do very well with the medication from the shot so I have been in pain and sleepy all day. I was upstairs making dinner and Halamehi came upstairs. She looked HORRIBLE!!! Sipola had cut Mehi's hair off and it looks so bad! Then Sipola came upstairs and she had also cut her own hair! Mehi's hair used to go to her bum, and now some parts are cut above her ears! Pola just cut one side of her hair. I called Tevita crying and he said, "it's ok, just fix it tomorrow." I appreciated him being so calm and making me feel better about the situation. I just don't know why are kids are so mischevious whenever Tevita is out of town??? I called the only lady in town that cuts hair and she wasn't there so hopefully I can get them both fixed tomorrow. Tevita will be home for a few minutes tomorrow which I am so thankful for. I just need a hug from him and I think I'll make it for the next trip. He is so excited to go to Texas so I am excited for him. Wish us luck!

Wishing Pila was done with school!

Well, let's just say that last week was horrible! Monday I had to take all three girls in to the doctor to get their immunizations done. One of my friends in my last ward kind of scared me about the immunizations so I have been slacking on getting them done. We got notice that Lia had to get another one done to continue with school and Sipola had to get her kindergarten check up and shots so I just decided to get them all done while we were there. I also had the doctor check some things on me and he told me that I was anemic and a few other things. So, it wasn't the best appointment that I had been to. Then right after that, I took the kids to Dad's house and I headed to the dentist(which I am deathly afraid of). He gave me the shot and put the gas on me. Well, I passed out. I knew I didn't like that gas stuff! Then he was in a hurry and told me that I had one cavity that probably needed a root canal but he would just put a filling in it and see if that worked. I trusted that he knew what he was doing and I have never been in such pain in my life!! You know that feeling when you put tin foil on a filling? Well 10 times that feeling and that is how my mouth felt. It just kept shooting pain all night and I ended up not getting one minute of sleep. I told Tevita that I would rather have 10 babies naturally one right after the other than go through the pain that I was going through. At about 5 in the morning I had 2 towels in my mouth screaming at the top of my lungs with Tevita telling me we should go to the hospital so they could help take the pain away. I told him I would just wait until I could get into the dentist so at 7:30am we packed up all the kids and headed for the dentist. When we got there he gave me a shot and I waited for about an hour for him to come in the room and start working on me. He told me that I had already put him behind schedule because I didn't have an appointment so he would only do half of the root canal. He told me to take ibuprofen every 4-6 hours for the pain and schedule to come in as soon as I could. That was last Tuesday and I can't get in until Wednesday. My mouth hurts so bad and all I can say is, "I wish my brother-in-law was done with school so I wouldn't have to go through this anymore!" I think I might have to find a different dentist after this is all done, what do you think? We went to Cedar City for football camp on Tuesday and Saturday. It was really good to see the team work so well together. They won some and lost some but at least they finally got to play other high schools! Tevita has been limping pretty bad the past few days due to gout. It is so painful for him and I wish I could help him but it seems like nothing works. Saturday all the kids got really sick and I am trying to figure out if it is allergies or a cold. Brax is the worst out of them all and he sure doesn't do well being sick. It is driving him nuts! Tevita and Toni are at Flaming Gorge for campout this week. They will be back on Thursday and then they are leaving for Texas on Friday. Then they are going to Oklahoma on Saturday for rugby and then they are driving with Pila and Jamie back to Utah. It seems like whenever Tevita leaves, one or all of the kids get sick but hopefully they will get better soon. So, this is a long post but I haven't posted for a long time. Happy Birthday to Ami and Lita! We love you both!
