I want to talk about tender mercies, little miracles, proof that angels are among us. And in the words of my friend, Toni, Don't call me Dumb!!!<br />

I don't read comics, I don't play video games, and I know very little about Star Trek and Star Wars. But when I heard that Weird Al Yankovic was going to be at FanX, well, I was tempted to go.<br />

I have been a Weird Al fan since the day I heard his "Polkas on 45". I think he's funny and creative. He has come in and out of the spotlight for the last 40 years!!! So when my KIDS discovered Weird Al, I was so happy to have fellow fans!! In fact, last year for Mother's Day, Melanie and Alec bought me tickets to see him in concert.<br />
<br />
Even though the concert ended up being the night before V'Laines' funeral, I still HAD to go!! (I couldn't disappoint the kids- Ok, disappoint me!!!) I don't know when I have enjoyed a concert as much as I did his!!! He was funny, entertaining and did not disappoint! I was so amazed at the crowd- there were people there ranging from ages 10 - 90!!!<br />

Well, Sydnee asked me to make a costume for her for FanX-or SAL Comic Con on March 17-18th. She sent me a picture and I threw together a dress resembling "Star Butterfly". Andrea was so appreciative, that she (and George) got me a ticket to Comic Con. But to make it even more doable, she got 4 free kids passes. I just KNEW my grandkids would love something like this, so I agreed.<br />
<br />
I told Andrea that because I would be bringing 4 kids, I would need help. She assured me that Sydnee and Abbie will love to help. I shared my plan with her of leaving at 8:30 to be there around 9:45 to be one of the first one in. On Friday evening, I called to confirm our plans and to see if I could just pick up Sydnee to take her with me. Andrea then informed me that they would be staying at George's in West Jordan and would meet me there, by the silo at the Salt Palace.<br />
<br />
On Saturday morning, Christopher, Rome, Gray and Emily, I pulled into the City Center parking. As I did, I called Andrea to inform her that I was there. She answered the phone groggily, saying she wasn't even awake yet! "Just watch the people and we will be there soon." - was her solution. I didn't hurry with the kids, in fact, we played by the fountains at City Creek for a while. <br />
<br />
We meandered over to the Salt Palace, and when I tried to call Andrea for an update, my phone had died! I was so worried about charging the tablets for them to play with, I had neglected my phone!!<br />
<br />
A slight panic settled in, but so did hope that Andrea would be there any moment. The kids were amazingly good, just watching people and admiring the costumes. Feeling so helpless, I turn to the only thing I knew to do - pray! In my heart, I pleaded, "Please encourage Andrea to come quickly. Not just for me, but I am a little overwhelmed with trying to take care of all those kids." <br />
<br />
As I was silently praying, a mother and a daughter walked up to me and offered her "free kids passes" for the grandkids!!! What an angel!!! I told her that I was waiting for my sister, but I really would appreciate the passes. Now, I just needed Andrea to show up with a pass for me to get in.<br />
<br />

I asked, "Is that for me?" They said, "Yes." With tears in my eyes, I thanked the, hugged them and told them that they were angels!!! I could now take my grandkids into Comic Con. <br />
<br />
Talk about answers to prayers!!! We toured around the Salt Palace looking for some sort of playground. I decided since there wasn't really anything to play on, I would take them to McDonalds, buy them lunch and let them play there. <br />
<br />

I got some money, got the kids faces painted, (met Weird Al) bought them Italian Ice and left!!<br />

We made it home at about 3:30! Way later than I had planned, but happy with the memory of my tender mercy with the wonderful earth angels!!<br />

You're in pain, you cry and you're not sure why the pain is so deep and
severe. You're afraid it could be fatal but you hope you won't die, even
though you feel like you will!! Then every ache and pain afterwards is also
scary. You wonder if it is supposed to hurt like it hurts, or as long as
it hurts. People are nice to you and try to help and you appreciate it
because you feel fragile. You live through it and feel like a hero.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The second time,
you think, "This is awful! Why does this have to happen to me?"
The pain is just as severe, but this time, you know it's not fatal and
that is a relief! When people start being nice and helping you, you think,
" This isn't that bad. It's kind of nice to not have to deal with
mean brothers!" You kind of milk it because you know they will never be
nice again! You make it through and think, I can do hard things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The third time,
your first reaction is, "Oh, s#!+*! Not again!!" You are
mad because it will ruin your plans and know that 6 weeks is too long to be
without the use of an appendage. It still hurts, but you are more mad
than sore. You think, at least your brothers and friends will be nice
again, but their patience is wearing thin as well. They're nice for a
while but not as long as before! You think it's time to start taking it a
little easier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The next time, you
know that you can't milk it like before because they are getting used to your
clumsiness and they just make fun of you! Your reaction is very similar to the
3rd time - NOT AGAIN!!! You buck up, do your cast and/or crutches time, and vow
to be more careful. You feel humbled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">By the 7th time,
yes I said 7th (and that doesn't count the innumerable sprains and stitches)
you go into auto pilot much like changing a baby's diaper or cleaning a toilet,
you hate it but you know what to do. You immediately announce loudly,
"I'm Ok". Then you sit and analyze the sore places. You
know that the arm and other foot is hurt, but not seriously. You swear,
not because of the all familiar pain, but because you are embarrassed and
disgusted with yourself because of your lack of coordination. You know
what to do! First you feel around with your fingers and then you test the
movement of your appendage. You can feel at the point at which it is broken
that this will require another cast. You carefully move to the closest soft
chair and call the Doctor. When you see him, you tell him what you did
and what he needs to do to fix it. (By this time, he knows to listen to
you).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You don't want to
make a fuss about it because it is nothing new. You try to hide it and
not look pathetic. When people want to help, for first reaction is much
like a 2 year old: you give them a sour look and say, "I can do it my
myself!" Luckily, you know enough that when the Doctor says to stay off it
for 6 weeks, you listen!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You try to laugh
at it and make fun of yourself hoping that people will forget about it and not
make a fuss. You just want it all to go away and are sad because you know what
the next 6 weeks holds in store for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You start planning
the next 6 weeks almost like a vacation plan. You start recording more
shows on TV, find a stack of books you want to read, by more yarn so you can
knit, and divvy out all of your housekeeping responsibilities knowing that if
you don't, NOTHING gets done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have decided that lists and stories that preach that principle are created by people that HAVE money!!! <br />
Since very few people read this, I feel more comfortable posting this here instead of on my facebook account. I can be very negative, but I try (sometimes) to hide it. <br />
<br />
Let me share things that happiness CAN'T buy:<br />
<br />
A house in which to live.<br />
A car give you the freedom you need to work, go to church, etc.<br />
Gas, tires, maintenance, and insurance in which to keep the car going.<br />
Food for nourishment and in my case, calming my nerves. (Hi. My name is Ann and I am a food addict...)<br />
Clothing to cover your nakedness.<br />
Tithing, for the blessings.<br />
Utilities.<br />
Medicine, which is needed to counteract the stress of not being able to pay bills.<br />
Computers and Internet to look for work, do genealogy, keep in contact with friends and family.<br />
A phone, for basically the same thing.<br />
These are just a few things that pop to mind. I'm sure I will come up with more when the time comes.<br />
<br />
Oh, don't get me wrong, if it weren't for the things money can't buy, ie, the love of a family and relatives, hugs from grand kids, amazing friends, testimonies, hiking, sunlight, 75 degree weather, clear starry nights, calm silent snowfalls, beautiful nature scenery, tulips, Sweet William, roses, Gerber daises, and dahlias, or wait, some of those cost money (I digress), it wouldn't be worth going on!<br />
<br />
I want to say FANTASTIC neighbors, but without our home, we wouldn't be in such a perfect neighborhood. <br />
<br />
I guess I could go on. Not that I am bitter about the situation we are in right now....oh wait, maybe I'm a little bitter. But in the mean time - WHEN DO WE GET A BREAK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!Ann Graves Matthewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15494026294231245837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688707208561697306.post-70536337937422563532013-04-01T10:39:00.000-06:002013-04-01T10:39:29.232-06:00Once again, being slapped in the face with reality!Back in the 80's, I enjoyed watching and laughing at the show "The Golden Girls". It is about 3 little old ladies and their adventures of being old, at least that is what I used to think.<br />

I found reruns being played on the TVland channel and have enjoyed a good belly laugh or two....until the other day. The episode that changed my mind was one where Rose lost her job and went looking for another one. She came home very despondent because, "No one wants to hire a 55 year old woman".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, now she is just getting personal!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Old? Don't get me wrong, I'm feeling it a bit, but I have usually blamed it on my weight or crazy schedule. I'm certainly not as old as the "Golden Girls". Ahhhhh......SURPRISE!!!! YES I AM!!! It's not just my weight or lifestyle...it's here!!! Ok, my weight and lifestyle maybe speeding up the process a bit but .... Holy Cow!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I decided that I am not going to take this lying down! I am going to fight back!! I'm walking more and eating better, I'm going to feel good again. So Saturday was the ultimate test. I took Paul to the Festival of Colors. Yeah! We went, we saw, we.....got the blisters! Here's the story:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since R.B. was playing from 1:00 - 3:00, we tried to go during those times. We couldn't go any earlier because of the baptism at 10:00 (Yeah, we know a party when we see one). We were prepared, we wore our old clothing, we ate lunch first, we brought towels and sheets to protect the car, and I assured Paul that people of all ages go to this and we were one our way!!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
The traffic was CRAZY!!! At 12:30, the freeway was backed up to the Springville Exit, just to get off at the Spanish Fork exit. I didn't want to imagine what Main street looked like, so we drove on the the Benjamin exit. We got off quite easily and found a parking spot in the designated field. For $2.00, you could take shuttle bus that cycles about every 20-30 minutes. It wasn't the time issue that made my decision, it was the fact that we are still young and could walk the short 2.5 miles to the temple. Remember I told you about the old clothes, well, we couldn't bring our good walking shoes, they might get stained, so we were in old, cruddy shoes as well. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now just a little side note, as the body atrophies I guess the brain follows suit...WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!?!?! </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
By the first mile, we not only passed a PLETHORA of better parking spots, I was developing blisters on the balls of my feet. By the 2nd mile, I was limping. There were many places along the water to buy hot dogs and drinks. I stopped and asked everyone one of them for a bandaid. Did anyone have any? Of course not! Young people not only DON'T get blisters, they are smart enough to wear good walking shoes, after all, it's only a couple of miles!!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
We finally made it! I was expecting to see the young and fun loving youth and the older, adventurous adults. I guess other people our age are smart enough to know not to not to brave the crowds, chalk, loud music and above all, the blisters!!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Determined to have fun, we waved at RB and stood off to the side of the crowd to join in the dancing and singing. Poor Paul by now is thinking, "I have married a crazy woman." (Trust me, this isn't the first time he has thought that). We made in in time for the color throw and crazy dancing. I lasted about 10 minutes. Oh don't get me wrong, my spirit was rejuvenated, my soul was happy, my mind was celebrating, it was my dumb body that said "Uncle". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We limped back to the bus stop, took the shuttle bus back and made it home in time to get in a nap and some yard work done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, I'm not giving up! Not by a long shot! I will continue walking and eating better, I might even break down and work out and diet, but for now-one step at a time. We (at least I) am going again next year, but I am wearing comfortable shoes, bringing a first aid kit and a blanket for a nap. And for SURE, we are taking the shuttle bus both ways!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And as for getting old, well, I had a great example of growing old in a fun way....Thanks Gramma Pete!!!</div>

I just haven't felt like I want to open up and then be accountable for my thoughts and feelings!<br />
I have enjoyed reading people's opinions on facebook and checked the 'like' tab frequently, but that is the extent to my sharing. Well, I guess that will change, at least for a minute.<br />
I think the thing that got me thinking was running into Toni, my long time friend. I told her that I love seeing her posts and pictures on facebook, (my voyeur fix). She said basically that it is only the good stuff and not real life.<br />
Is that what it is? Selected good times and no bad times? So what's the problem? What about the Thumper rule? One thing my mom always used to say was, "If someone asks you how you are, for heaven sakes, DON'T TELL THEM!" What about the wisdom of "That which you put your energy into grows." So concentrate one the good stuff, right?<br />
I have found that if you only recognize good things or concentrate on the positive, bad things still happen. You just don't seem to relive it as much. <br />
<br />
In the book of "Life According to Ann", keep sharing the good, post only the positive things and when people ask you how you're doing, for heaven sake, don't tell them. That goes for your superficial friends and acquaintances. Oh please don't think I mean that in a negative way. Superficial friends and acquaintances can be a wonderful a positive influence in your life. They give us hope that there is a better tomorrow, that the sun WILL come out and miracles will happen and all those warm fuzzies that tickle our fancy.<br />
Just make sure that you have a couple of sincere friends and family that will love and support you when real life strikes!!! <br />
With people like Toni, I want to hear the good stuff and filtered news, but when we are together, one on one, I want it all!!! I love her good and bad (Even though there's not much bad) I will love her rather she is happy or sad, rich or poor, in sickness or in health....well you know what I mean. I will always be up for a good giggle or a good cry with her and many other wonderful friends!!! (I kind of lucked out that way).<br />
<br />
So does being positive improve your life? Maybe not, but it sure makes life more tolerable!!<br />

Sunday, as I was fixing dinner, Alec came up to me and ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?" I said, "Yes! You can set the table." He looked at me dumbfounded and said, "That was a rhetorical question."<br />

Here's the rest of the story.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Haley's due date is June 18. She had traveled to Seattle last week to be with Graden. She flew home the 6th. On Monday, she had a Doctors appointment. She was starting to swell up, feet, hands, she was a little uncomfortable. At the appointment, they took her blood pressure, it was 120/80, they high end of average, so there was little concern. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="border: currentColor;">
She taught Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Wednesday night, she was in our room talking with me and Paul. Since Paul has high blood pressure, he checks his blood pressure every night. After he checked his, he said, "Haley, do you want to check yours?" I said, "And then can you check mine?" It is just a fun little game - no biggie! Haley's blood pressure was 175/98!!! Paul said, "This isn't right. Let's try it on the other arm." They checked her sitting down, standing up, one each arm, well, needless to say, we were a little shocked!!! I asked what she had eaten that day. Top Ramon Noodles? Yeah, I thought, that is the culprit! They are so loaded with sodium. I told her to drink a lot of water and lie down. </div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
The next morning, we rechecked it. It was around 138/75, so it was high, but dropping. So she want to work.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
At work, one of her fellow teachers said that she looked more puffy than usual. When Haley told her about her blood pressure, the teacher kind of freaked out!! She said she had toxemia (pre-eclampsia) and TOLD her to call the doctor. So when Haley got off work, she called into Dr. Judd's office. Since Dr. Judd was at the hospital delivering babies, they told her just to go there and be checked. </div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Quite unconcerned, she went there and called Paul to tell him where she was going. He called me and said that Haley was at the hospital. My kind boss let me leave work early so I could hold her hand. When we got to the hospital, Haley asked, "Why are you here? It's no big deal." We just laughed and stayed. </div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
The head nurse started checking her stats and asking her questions. When her blood pressure came up at (approx) 180/109, she told Haley that she wasn't going home. "In fact," she said, "You will probably have your baby this weekend." I think that is when we really started to appreciate the gravity of the situation!!</div>

She called Graden and told him to catch the next flight to Utah..."We're having a baby!!!"</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
When they checked her blood, they found that her kidneys were already being effected. Dr. Judd checked her and told her that if they tried to induce her, she wouldn't have this baby before Saturday and by then she most likely would be in a coma. Ok, C-Section it is!!!</div>

They waited for Graden to get there. Race got him to the hospital at about 11:40. The prepped Haley, dressed Graden and away they went.</div>

Rome was born at 12:13 a.m. on May 11th. Because he was born on his Grandpa Matthews birthday, they chose the name Hilton for a middle name. Besides, they thought Rome Paul almost sounded political!! Granted, Rome Hilton could sound like a vacation destination, but it also sounds very distinguished.</div>

For a baby that was born almost 6 weeks early, he's doing remarkable well. He was born at 4 lbs. 7 oz. and is 19 inches long. He is long and skinny, but what is amazing is his feet. They are 3 inches long!!! For a 19 inch baby, 3 inches for feet are HUGE!!! He is breathing on his own, absorbing the formula (given to him through a tube in his nose) and has even sucked on a pacifier. They haven't had to transport him to NICU yet. That is such a good sign. He is a little fighter and I'm so proud of him.</div>

They are a gorgeous family.</div>

<br />
I was talking to some friends Sunday about Mother's Day. Most of my Mother's Day have consisted of fixing dinners, doing dishes, dressing kids, and cleaning up. Oh don't get me wrong, I receive beautiful gifts and lots of hugs and kisses, but to me, the second Sunday in May is really just another Sabbath day.<br />
<br />
My REAL Mother's days are days like last Friday as I watched my daughter, Haley, graduate from UVU in Elementary Education. I have often referred to them as "Pay Days". <br />

My favorite Mother's Days have been when I am laughing with my family, celebrating victories, mourning losses, playing, working, riding bikes, going for walks, vacationing, lunches and sometimes, just hanging out together.

It's a part-time mission so we serve from home, but we now work with the Spanish speaking missionaries in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Grandview</span> 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> Ward.<br />We has been asked to help some of the ward members assimilate to the Utah ways in living, speaking, budgeting and banking. GO FIGURE!!!<br />It has been a very humbling experience. I'm really trying to pick up the language. During <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Sacrament</span> meeting and Sunday School, I just listen and try to pick up words and ideas. During Relief Society, I use the translator. <br />Paul just feels right at home. The first couple of Spanish Hymns we sang and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Sacrament</span> prayers we heard, I saw tears running down his cheeks. It is just a flash back to his mission. <br />In church, I feel like I did when I first got to Holland. I can feel the spirit, I am just not sure of everything that is being said!! I'm getting better, though. I can usually figure out what the subject of the talk is and a couple of thoughts. Testimony meeting is a different ballgame!! There are so many different accents - and they speak so quickly!!!<br />We have joined the choir and sang with them a couple of times in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Sacrament</span> Meeting. They are very patient with my mutilating the words. They patiently correct me and have not laughed too much, even when I was singing to the 'cheese' (that's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">quiso</span> - not <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">queso</span>).<br />We are meeting some wonderful people and learning A LOT!!! This has really been a great opportunity for us. We are looking forward to the next 2 years!!Ann Graves Matthewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15494026294231245837noreply@blogger.com0
