She's been complaining she needs glasses for months, but... well, okay... I didn't believe her - but let me explain. A couple years ago we thought she had a hearing problem because she wouldn't respond sometimes when we would talk to her and she would say she didn't hear us and she needed her ears checked. So being the concerned caring parental units that we are, we had her ears checked. Turns out it just a "listening" problem. <span style="font-size:78%;">(<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Hmmmm</span>...)</span> So I finally cave and take her in. The Doc asks her to read line 6 and she says, "I don't see a six".

Who uses radicals and imaginary numbers anyway?(<span style="font-size:78%;">Hello-o-o- they're imaginary)</span><br />8. <em>I wish</em> I new what the heck I'm doing in my calling<br />9. <em>I wish</em> we had our year's supply. I'm working on canning chicken right now which Kendree says very much resembles pig fetus' <span style="font-size:85%;">(or is that feti for plural?)</span><br />10. <em>I wish</em> I had my dream home with the wrap around porch in the country<span style="font-size:78%;"> (I use the term country, but I mean no more thatn 30 minutes from a Target),</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span>sittin' on that porch swing <span style="font-size:78%;">(that I probably bought at that Target), </span>watchin' the fireflies dance.<br />11. <em>I wish</em> I could sew like my Mom<br />12. <em>I wish</em> cats would stay little kittens and never need to eat, drink, shed, or poo... just purrr and look cute. <span style="font-size:78%;">(I think our next cat will require 4 AA batteries)</span><br />13. <em>I wish</em> to go on a romantic vacation to Greece with Mr.B<br />14. <em>I wish</em> it wasn't bad for me to drink Pepsi - <span style="font-size:78%;">okay, so I'll try diet!</span><br />15. <em>I wish</em> I had a HUGE garden<br />16. <em>I wish</em> I had a green thumb for that HUGE garden<br />17. <em>I wish</em> for my tulips and daffodils to grow this Spring.<br />18. <em>I wish</em> my a.c. wasn't still kicking on - it's almost November for pete's sake!<br />19. <em>I wish</em> I had an Apple Notebook<br />20. <em>I wish</em> I was a clever writer <span style="font-size:78%;">(like Kelly B. and so many of you)</span><br />21. <em>I wish</em> my baby girls wouldn't grow up so fast!<br />22. <em>I wish</em> I could teach my 15 1/2 year old how to drive... I can't stop laughing long enough to catch my breath and tell her to STOP and back up off the curb! It's actually not even funny, it's quite frightening! <span style="font-size:78%;">(sometimes scary things and painful things make me laugh!..??)</span><br />23. <em>I wish</em> 10 year old girls weren't so moody<br />24. <em>I wish</em> my home was full of vintage decor and furniture - I love that stuff!<br />25. <em>I wish</em> I didn't look like such a doof-n-shmirk on every one of my picture IDs - You should seriously see my Costco card!<br />26. <em>I wish</em> I could play guitar, I tried... I have whimpy fingers I guess.<br />27. <em>I wish</em> that baking wasn't one of my favorite things to do, because I don't do much of that low-fat junk. Well, I do make whole wheat bread and chocolate chips cookies with applesauce.<br />28.<em> I wish</em> I could be an amazing photographer<br />29. <em>I wish</em> I had every lovely apron form Anthro<br />30. <em>I wish</em> I weren't such a chicken about chopping all my hair off <span style="font-size:78%;">(someday I will)</span><br />31. <em>I wish</em> I had my Great Grandmother's cukoo clock... how I remember sleeping right under it on her couch and waking up to it to eat her cracked wheat cereal.<br />32. <em>I wish</em> to someday serve a mission with Mr.B, errrr.... Elder B!<br />33. <em>I wish</em> I had never worn a pink feathered "roach clip" in my hair in the 80s.<br />34. <em>I wish</em> my children wouldn't always point out all my white hairs - <span style="font-size:78%;">grab some tweezers and pluck 'em already!</span><br />35. <em>I wish</em> to run a marathon this next year <span style="font-size:78%;">(well maybe just a half marathon... baby steps here).</span><br />36. <em>I wish</em> my darn foot <span style="font-size:78%;">(grrrr)</span> would heal faster so I can run and train again.<br />37. <em>I wish</em> I could go to Disneyland with this walker boot on... Can you say "fast pass"!? <span style="font-size:78%;">(I'm always the optimist)</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">So now I'm off to blow out candles and sip the traditional birthday sparkling cider with my wonderful fam! </span>Deana & Ryan Bitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204361167772262471noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396914108580190886.post-10362448753159925892008-10-26T11:19:00.000-07:002008-10-26T11:30:41.687-07:00BelieveLast Sunday our ward had a group of 7 talented men sing "I believe" for the Fall Music and Art Walk.

Brrrr! We went to Sunrise Ski Resort to get the free season pass for the kids when you donate a can of food and ride the ski lift - which we ended up not even riding because it was too windy and too cold for SOME people... (ahem, Heather-hee hee). Actually Heather and I and the kids did some shopping in the lodge while the Dads stood outside in the line.

So all of you saying #*$$ NO... each runner will do 3 legs of 3-8 miles each and rest in between <span style="font-size:78%;">(ya, RIGHT),</span> seriously, that sounds just like our good 'ol junior high slumber parties- only we'd dance all night instead of run! </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">There are awards for the best decorated support vehicles <span style="font-size:78%;">(which Mr.B has <span style="font-size:85%;">graciously</span> volunteered to drive), </span>best team name, and lots of other prizes! It's about $95 per person plus the cost of food, gas, and uniforms. The race is not until Feb. but we need the $ and registration in by November - then we'll have a team meeting to look at the course and decided who will run where. <span style="font-size:85%;">(I call the 3 mile legs with absolutely no elevation!)</span> </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Last year there was a team that passed off a donkey pinata to each team member and they literally ran with it sitting on their shoulder. Can you guess what their team name was... yep, "haulin' ass". There was also the group name, "need more cowbell", or how 'bout "picked last in gym class", or "we have a token fat guy" - that cracked me up! There are some <span style="font-size:130%;">GOOD</span> times to be had here my friends. I noticed that this year there will also be a "run for Nie" team - that's cool!</span><br />There are about 150 teams signed up already, so we need to hurry and get on the list! It's gonna be WILD!<br />So if I can't convince you to run, we do need 3 volunteers per team... I'm sure you'll at least get a t-shirt <span style="font-size:78%;">(and some great laughs).</span> If you're up for it, let me know asap... if not, then please do share some fabulous ideas for a team name - maybe you'll win a prize!Deana & Ryan Bitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204361167772262471noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396914108580190886.post-38063469870944972522008-09-21T18:20:00.000-07:002008-09-22T11:28:39.437-07:00Things that make you go hmmmmm...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wbAegpbrH2PfACD5Dd7ShUMUvWPP9MBi8N1rVKw0Q1DDF-qNhZP1cb2sE6N8F6rAuHVMhXoKJTj2iqMsFRuXJnC3dBOd2SLSog-i13PLYxMLihyVBiilGAyNfyKQc0MTzmtpdXgZdtA/s1600-h/IMG00080.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248650883307056114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wbAegpbrH2PfACD5Dd7ShUMUvWPP9MBi8N1rVKw0Q1DDF-qNhZP1cb2sE6N8F6rAuHVMhXoKJTj2iqMsFRuXJnC3dBOd2SLSog-i13PLYxMLihyVBiilGAyNfyKQc0MTzmtpdXgZdtA/s400/IMG00080.jpg" border="0" /></a> I had to take this picture at a fabric store the other day... at first you see the "extra value", but take a look at the small print... <span style="font-size:85%;">(and who's in the box)...</span> <span style="font-size:180%;">DAMAGED! <span style="font-size:100%;">Hmmmmm.</span><br /></span><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"></span></div>Deana & Ryan Bitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204361167772262471noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396914108580190886.post-49797420836217172992008-09-11T14:45:00.000-07:002008-09-11T18:23:35.607-07:00A spoonful of GRATITUDESometimes it has to be force-fed, shoved down my throat, while plugging my nose - before I GET IT. The past couple of weeks have been, well...<em> tiresome</em>.<br /><br />I felt yesterday like I was about to visit the ever popular place "wit's end" (<span style="font-size:85%;">as my friend Shawni refers to</span>), do not pass GO, do not collect $200, oh... please stop by Park Place to pay the cost with 2 hotels!!! We played Monopoly last weekend and that's pretty much how it went. Of course it was Disney Monopoly so Mogli (me) had to pay Lady and the Tramp (Saedra) the price of a stay in the Castle at 101 Dalmatian Plantation. Like I wanted to go there anyway, I don't even like dogs for "pizza's sake"!<span style="font-size:78%;"> (that was for Ry - he loves to say that)</span><br /><br />Anywho... I came to the realization that I needed medication...I know, you're wondering why it took me so long to figure that one out. What I really needed was to medicate my weary mind and soul...and a <span style="font-size:180%;">healthy dose of gratitude</span> did just that!<br /><div>As I've thought about my "Never gets done, costs too much, ways to get my children to stop arguing, not enough time in the day, pulling my hair out" list lately, I had to stop and breathe and take in that spoonful of beautiful gratitude!</div><div></div><br />Elder David B. Haight said, "It's so easy in our life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives. But we sometimes take them for granted. How grateful we should be for the blessings that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings into our hearts and souls. I would remind all of you that if we're ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do it with all our heart, mind, and strength - because it was He who gave us life and breath. As that gratitude is magnified and developed and expanded, it can bless our hearts and our minds and our souls to where we'd like to continue to carry on and do those things that we are asked to do.".<br /><br />Listening to the piano being played to it's loudest potential, immediately followed by the cello playing the scr<em>eeeeee</em>ching rendition of "boil the cabbage down" from a very excited 5th grader, while I'm of course trying to talk on the phone - <span style="font-size:180%;">My dose of gratitude</span>: <span style="color:#ff6666;">She's actually practicing without me needing to beg and plead...<span style="font-size:85%;">and sometimes yell, not really though</span> :) And she is getting better and loving it. <span style="font-size:78%;">I'm also grateful she didn't choose the violin!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"></span><br />The one decent running vehicle is now in the shop with no a/c. The diagnosis: BAD, needs new compressor. So now I'm back to driving the "Beast" that gets 9, yes that's a 9, miles per gallon. <span style="font-size:180%;">My spoonful of gratitude</span>: <span style="color:#ff9900;">The a/c works!</span><br /><br />Medical bills straining on my mind, and bank account... <span style="font-size:180%;">My LARGE dose of "G":</span> <span style="color:#339999;">Read the stories and blogs about the sweet Nielson family and the tragic plane crash the has left both husband and wife in critical care in the burn unit at a Phoenix hospital. Thinking about what the rest of their lives will be like. How thankful I am that we are all healthy and strong.</span><br /><br />Complaining that I never get to see my travelin' "Mr.B"... <span style="font-size:180%;">Another gulp of gratitude</span>: <span style="color:#009900;">I have an amazing husband that supports me in anything I do. Even if it's some hair-brained idea or invention that I want to get a patent for, or going back to school after ___ many years. (Don't even try to guess). He always encourages me to "go for it". He tries to always have family scriptures and prayers even over speaker phone or the web-cam. <span style="font-size:78%;">(which personally I hate, it really does add 10 pounds!) </span><span style="font-size:100%;">May I also mention he fixed my broken washer without it costing a cent... I'm married to the king of "Jimmy (Or Jerry)- Riggers". That's a blessing right there folks!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"></span><br />Getting a little perturbed when a teenager flips a light on the the early morning hours after yet another sleepless night caused by my aching shoulder... <span style="font-size:180%;">An immeasurable dose of "G":</span> <span style="color:#993399;">Going in to check on her, only to find her studying her scriptures. Boy oh boy did my heart fill with joy as I counted yet another blessing.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">"What did you read about this morning?"</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">"I read about the Stripling Warriors Mom. I don't know why I had my bookmark there, that's not even where I've been reading."</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Maybe to remind you, my sweet girl, that you are a warrior. You go to battle each day against the darkness of the world, but you go as a daughter of God, with the shield of faith being steadfast and immovable, just like them.</span><br /><br />When I wallow in self pity that I didn't have the opportunity to have more children... <span style="font-size:180%;">My gallon of "G":</span> <span style="color:#cc0000;">That I'm lucky enough to have four arms that wrap around me, 20 fingers to hold, 20 toes to paint, 4 ears to pick at, 2 backs to tickle and 2 sets of lips to smooch my cheeks and randomly say, "I love you momma"! I can never hear enough of that blessing!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><em>Ahhhhh,</em></span> <em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;">Life is Grand!</span></em></span><br /><br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:180%;"></span></em>Deana & Ryan Bitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204361167772262471noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396914108580190886.post-47183153911504175262008-08-28T18:47:00.000-07:002008-08-31T09:55:38.090-07:00f(x) = log(5x²), g(x), -∞, = In 3 + In x<div><div><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><em>In parts (a) - (c), graph f and g in the same viewing rectangle.</em></span></div><div></div><div>I seriously debated even discussing the fact that I'm back in school because I wanted to drop after the first week - this math class is killin' me!

(I know...but I couldn't think of a better title)<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">This summer was <span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc00;">dang</span> fast! The whole month of June was grueling summer school for Kendree (which she got her much deserved A+), and some basketball camp for Sade (she got a sweet jersey, but no trophy this year- which from reading nicole's blog... they are quite dangerous anyway!). For the 4th of July we flew to Colorado for a week vacation. The girls love going to see their cousins- it's a little <span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">scary</span> though to think that next summer 3 of them will be 16... including Kendree and they frequently remind us that next summer they won't need me and my brothers to take them anywhere because they'll be able to drive themselves around for all their shenanigans. That is hilarious - they're sooo funny! <span style="font-size:78%;">Who knows, maybe Grandma Cook will let 'em drive on down to the Loaf-N-Jug for some soda pop.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> When we got home from Colorado, Kendree went in for her surgery 3 days later, and that took care of two weeks in July. So we've only had a couple weeks left to...play the wii, watch CSI <span style="font-size:85%;">(kendree's in love with Nick Stokes)</span> and The Office re-runs, watch SYTYCD, swim <span style="font-size:85%;">(looking for yet another pool boy. <span style="font-size:78%;">Why do we seem to go through them like underwear</span>?),</span> take naps, read </span><span style="font-size:85%;">(we started a fun new book club), <span style="font-size:100%;">and oh just so many more crazy exciting things...too many to list</span>.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> All in all, a pretty great summer indeed and to top it off ,we (and a few extra teenagers, of course) went to see<span style="color:#ff6666;"> Paramore</span> in concert last Saturday at the Mesa Amphitheatre. If you have not had the priviledge of seeing Hayley <span style="color:#000099;">live</span>... you <span style="font-size:130%;">must</span>!

The doctors told us not to do anything to fix it until she was at least 14 or 15, because the nose changes so much during puberty. Knowing insurance wasn't going to pay SQUAT... the long awaited visit to the facial reconstructive surgeon finally came this summer. She was so stoked for her surgery on July 9th at 6am in Scottsdale <span style="font-size:78%;">(ya, where else would it be),</span> but mom on the other hand was... well...<span style="font-size:78%;"> </span><span style="font-size:85%;">wishin' I had some Xanax</span>. We got there at 6am, and after picking off all my cuticles, the doc came out at 11:30am to inform me that Ken was waking up now and all went perfectly. Saedi and I went in to see her and she was pretty delirious. She said her alarm kept going off <span style="font-size:85%;">(there actually was an alarm, it was the little monitor on her finger that kept beeping every time she would fling it off),</span>but she couldn't wake up and now she missed her surgery. Then she started to cry because she wanted a slushie really bad <span style="font-size:78%;">(this I'm sure due to a tube shoved down her throat for hours).</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-size:100%;">I kept feeling a tug on the back of my shirt and a little voice saying, "Mom, I don't feel so good", but I ignored little Saedra thinking...

Just picture him (you may want to picture someone like... oh I don't know... maybe Matthew McConaughey instead, to make this story better) standing at your front door having this conversation:</span></span></span><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Guy</span>: "Hey, so I'm your new pool boy"</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#ff6666;">Me</span>: "Uhhh, okay"</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Guy</span>: "Did Ryan tell you I was coming?"</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#ff6666;">Me</span>: "No" (so my husband failed to tell me that info, let alone that he even hired a pool boy - I thought <em><span style="font-size:130%;">he</span></em> was my pool boy)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Guy</span>: "You guys are married right- I mean don't you communicate?" (actually he probably said "talk" because communicate would NOT have been in his vocabulary)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#ff6666;">Me</span>: "what?!" - Are you kidding me, is this guy for real? Pool boy/Marriage counselor? I'm thinking, of course we're married... and of course we <span style="font-size:130%;">didn't</span> have that conversation. <span style="font-size:85%;">(He obviously wasn't married or he wouldn't have asked such a silly question</span>)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Guy</span>: "Nah, your husband really hired me to come and do this..." <span style="font-size:85%;">(WARNING:PG13 material coming up)</span></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;">At this point he proceeds to remove his dingy white shirt <span style="font-size:78%;">(apparently he thinks he's too sexy for his shirt), </span>to expose his non-existent six pack, and begins thrusting his pelvis while rubbing his scrawny chest. I know, I know, I was shocked too... and I too would think this a <span style="font-size:130%;">tall tale</span>, but I have witnesses. You see, our R.S. Presidency meeting just happened to be taking place at the same time! Poor Diane heard it all, I think she may be questioning her move from righteous Rexburg. At least she didn't have to see it... <span style="font-size:85%;">sometimes I wish I could poke out my mind's eye!</span> To finish this story, he did stay and clean the pool. The next week he came, (you heard right,he did come back) it was the final straw. He knocked on my girls' bedroom windows on his way back to our backyard yelling, "pool guy is here!". <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216327178841533074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQUGuc_WNwDut7_WfBlgyynE-KzwDxqLn4MyC4LBzpO-EfbGgt9XAVcF0EGdrio_dY2jXPhi9AyhVtM6nywJ3VZNCWj8EltaEO8Rt7ShnvYXOg3BS0R0TtODMu1XkQg_y8Ym_fuCno1SY/s200/DSC_4591poolguy.jpg" border="0" /></span></div></div><br /><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Don't be jealous of my <span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">exciting</span> life, I can find you his phone#.
