April Rose

UPDATE: Now I found I was duped, just like thousands of others. This was a hoax. I had become emotionally invested in B's story. I found the answer thanks to a friend (thx CM) who blogged about it. She calls it the "ugly side of blogging." And yes, it is.

She changed her name & plans to "clean" up her site to no longer include her family's real names. I don't know that I will go to that extent, I'm lazy, but I think I will change the status of who can view my blog. I have found it very therapeutic to write. I have always found it therapeutic to write.

Little April Rose was born alive yesterday, Sunday, June 7 (see my entry about baby blogs). She weighed 4 lb., something. Today I hurried home from work to see how she is doing & there was an entry from April's daddy that he had closed the blog. I just checked now on my way to bed, as I have done for the past several weeks, & the blog's gone!!!! Gone! They took it down because of hateful artwork & emails. I just want to sit here & cry. I want to know how she's doing. I'll just have to keep praying for her family.

Thankfully, Jonah is doing well. He had some sweet potatoes today, his first food, & there was a sweet picture of a messy face. His Papa Jim, great-grandfather, can't go see him because of an ongoing cold. I saw Jim today, he stopped in at The Citizen on his way through town.

Moving in May, 5/18

Did I move today? or shall I say, "Did I MOVE today?" It's Monday, did I walk around the block, did I walk across the street or up or down the street? No, sigh, I moved from my desk in the editor's office out to the desk in the computer room, back & forth all day. From 9:15 to 6. Up & down at least a million times. Why doesn't my butt muscles get tired of the standing up & sitting down? Maybe that's why my hips & back hurt every Tuesday & Wednesday & I feel like I just can't move. Who knows?

I also walked across the parking lot to the South Stake Center & ate lunch with the DUP at their annual Jubilee. It was a nice lunch.

I was going to go to bed "early" tonight, but I started reading April Rose's mommy's blog & it looks like I may get to bed "on time."

G'nite
