For the time being after fighting with one of my family members I have had to take my blog private. Sorry I will return to public in a few months but until things calm down I am just going to protect myself and my kids. SORRY.
LOVE YA-
Kris

Where did April Go???
I just started writing things on my May calendar for this next week and started to wonder what happened to April? I don't know why my life has been crazy but it has. Nothing out of the ordinary has been happening but I am really far behind on everything. Maybe it is that the kids have been off track and everyone has been sick. I am going to try and blame it on that.
One sort of fun thing is that I was asked to do a Podcast. I will be featured on the National Epilepsy Foundation's web site after May 7th. I did a whole radio interview that lasted about 30 minutes. After they cut it and everything it will go out and certain stations will be picking it up. I am talking about seizure medications and how switching medications can cause more seizures. It is the law I worked on last year that we passed in Utah. I am really thrilled that I was asked to do this. Apparently I did an okay job and they have asked me to do it again.
If I have forgotten to call, write, e-mail or whatever else I have forgotten this month SORRY I don't know exactly what happened to April.

One flaw in Women
I received this e-mail the other day. I think I forget my worth a lot. With the craziness of my kids, work and life I don't give myself enough credit (or so I hear). So just a reminder to all of my amazing women friends out there. Give yourself a pat on the back for me.
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

A New President
I have to admit I have not been the biggest Obama supporter. Okay, that is an understatement. The short of it is I am behind our president. I don't always agree with the positions he has taken in the past and I don't know that he is prepared for the job although he is our president and I will support him. I hope that he is able to inspire the country into fixing some of the major problems that we have and are headed for in the future. I have enjoyed the historic nature of this week and how far our country has come. Best of luck Barack Obama and our prayers are with you.
