I just have to say - I DO LOVE ANTI-BIOTICS. But my oh my, what a terror they rage on Ethan's rear. We called the doctor on Saturday (They are open on sat. htank goodness.) and they said we could give him 3/4 teaspoon Immodium AD to help with the explosive bum. Which i am also thankful for anti-diaretics. Just when you think you couldn't be thankful for anything more gross after counting your newborns diapers religiously thier first few weeks of birth - they give you something else for which to be thankful for.

I am desperatly trying this year to get my history work in order. I have over 200 pages of hand-written essays and notes on everything from American history and architecture to European, and Chinese political government. One day (hopefully at the end of this year) I would like to comile them into one "book" and then have it bound. I love history textbooks (weird I know), but this "book" that I am working on has my thoughts and ideas embedded in it. Which probably means that no one will ever be able to understand what I am saying in it! Oh well, it's just for own sense of accomplishment that I am having it bound. It is kind of like saying I am finally done. But then we all know that I will have to do a second edition so that I can continue to add to my collection of political thoughts and all the more essays which I am sure to write.

I am going to try an convince Jacob that we can afford to save up about 1,000$ this year and every year to come so that I can take a few night courses at the extension here in Brigham. Now that he has nights off I could take a class a few nights a week and try finish my basics here in Brigham. I would still like to get my teaching degree and a masters in American Political History as well as majors in American History (Particularly the Revolution period) and American Military History. I know it will take me some time to get these all done but I have the time it's just coming by the money. When my kids are all grown I would love to teach a few High School courses and possiblya few courses at a local college or extension.

Jacob starts his training tomorrow. I am hoping that he can pass it quickly and if he does he will start his new job next Monday! Ah, a day shift. One more little thing that I am thankful for.
