OK this is really to far.. Check out this link. http://depts.washington.edu/learncpr/cat_dog.html
CPR for a DOG or CAT. I wouldn't do it for a million bucks. That is so disgusting. People are really taking there pets over the edge these days. I can't stand it. The family picture is really too much for me. But whatever, but please don't put your mouth over any dogs nose and give it mouth to mouth. That is so DISGUSTING. I don't care if I ran over a dog twice, I would never give it cpr. What has this world come to.

I have never done a tag before here goes.....

Have you been "tagged"? If not and you're reading this, consider it done and begin by cutting and pasting my blog into your own "New Post", delete my answers and fill in your own. Officially the game goes like this:
1. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end, the player tags others and posts their names. Then goes to their blog and posts them a comment to let them know they've been tagged and asks them to read your blog to find out the details.
1. What I was doing 10 years ago: I was madly in love planning a wedding and starting nursing school. I can't believe how simple life was then. I will probably say that again in ten years.
2. Five things on my to-do list today: PACK, CLEAN, buddy fun day, get a gift for brinley's teacher , buy cookies for staleys school picnic tomorrow, get health insurance, register brin for kindergarten.
3. If I were a billionaire I would: spend a year living on every continent.
4. Bad habit: has anyone read my blog CANDY
5. Five places I've lived: SLC, Ut Ephriam, Ut Provo, Ut fort worth, tx lubbock, Tx and TOOELE.
6. Five jobs I've had: Raised serving punch for the red flame. selling light ropes, some stupid call center peddling a chimney sweep, nurse(primary's , Timpanogoos regional) Aerobics instructor, MOM, censoring my husband and his antics.
I can't count, people always complain when I teach an aerobics class.

The family talent show!!!

We have been trying to get our family together for a reunion for about three years and no one has ever cared but me. Well that is a blog in itself, but the reason I sat to write is this. Now everyone is on the bandwagon and the reunion is scheduled for this June. Everyone is planning a day and one family decided a talent show. I was driving down the road kicking myself for not having started, well stuck to any lessons for my children. I don't have anything.
So I say aloud, "Girls, what should we do for the talent show at the family reunion?" Staley says, I can hula hoop on my arm. Brinley says, I can do a scorpion. (a contortionist trick she can form her body into.) Alayna who I think is too little to understand and follow the conversations says, "I can stick my tongue up." Which means she can touch her tongue to her nose. She got a lot of attention for that one night at a friends house and really thinks it is great. Well at least they will be good for a laugh. I think next year I will reevaluate my budget and time and stick to some lessons for my children.
