James had a major mishap today.  He lost a load of wire mesh on the freeway.  He ran out into traffic and retrieved all of it but couldn't help but compare when the same thing happened twenty years ago and people were stopping to help him.  He said the only response he got this time were people honking their horns and one guy yelling out his window, "get out of the way."  I guess we can be grateful that's all he yelled.

I read an article in the Ensign today and being self-reliant and how when we are self-reliant we are better able to serve others.  James and I want to become more self-reliant so we can spend more of our time serving in the Church. 

I guess Ben has encountered a bully at school.  He has been acting funny and not wanting to go to school.  Mom to the rescue.  She spoke to the principal who just so happens to be her former PE teacher, Susan Avery.  Ms. Avery said they were aware the boy Ben is referring to is a bully.  She is going to tell him they caught him on school monitors bullying other kids so that way he won't find out Ben said anything.  Ben is especially worried about one of the other boys that this guy bullies.  I can't stand bullies!!

Well after only 2-3 weeks, Wynonna Judd is off Dancing with the Stars.  She wasn't very good but I feel sorry for her partner Tony.  Thank goodness he had a win last year with Melissa Rycroft.  Who knows when it will happen again for him.

I made arrangements today to pick up Mary and Trenda's registration for youth conference tomorrow.  They were suppose to be in by March 30th but I guess better late than never.  I will pick them up tomorrow and take them to the office of Baldwin & Jones Accounting in downtown Show Low where Fawne Jones, our stake young women's president works.  I gave Shelly and Jordyn's registration to her last Wednesday.  Mary gave her registration form to Brother Applegate but it seems to have disappeared.

In world news, Norther Korea is threatening to attack the United States.  Do we take them seriously?  I don't know.
