I Marvel At All of You
December 14, 2007 | Kudos
Who Are YOu?? Where did you come from? I don’t even know all of you wonderful people that I gave birth to. At least I think I was in that delivery room at the time that the most fantastic and marvelous creatures that God sent to earth emerged. I named you one by one, except the last one. I meant to name her Lydia Ruth, but Luis squelched that, and I was too exhausted and tired when he leaned over and said, “her name is Maria Elena” It could have been Leroy or Pot. I didn’t care. It was a natural birth, inasmuch as Dr. HOwe didn’t know how to administer anything but the old-fashioned spinal thingy, and I refused it. (saddle-block…that’s it). But how did I know he was going to turn her over, because she was facing up instead of down, and I let out a blood-curdling scream that is still ringing through Brookwood Hospital.
Anyway….I am amazed at the wonderful things you have accomplished. Where did you get your brains, anyway. Of course, from the Polhemus side, you have your brilliant grandmother and father, and then of course, there is Pop on my side. My mother and I are average. Luis has tons of brains, but he isn’t a person that one would point to and say, “that guy has tons of brains.” But, he does. Also, I can’t seem to comprehend how many years you have under your belts. You’re still just my little babies. And I am still rocking you and singing to you.
I’ve been complaining lately about how “hot” it is down here, but after Ben’s report on the weather up there, I will keep my mouth shut, and enjoy this warm weather.
Lainie, Did you get your Santa Clauses, and by now you will have received a huge check of $25.00 to donate toward a trip down here to stay as long as you want to. It was to get something for Bailey and Casey, but I can send something back for their Christmas if you can just make it down here. Ask your Dad for gas money. Explain the situation. I hope you can come. We can support you after you get here, and give you gas money back again.

I haven’t recieved it yet, but I will check my mail today. I had already decided it was the best thing for me to come see you after I leave Alabany. I feel it is the right thing to do. My family is more important than my school class. I may end up getting a job where I can’t make that class anyway and they have mini-classes in February, so I think It will work out as long as I just pay my tithing anyway and listen to the spirit and the spirit tells me to go see you. I will get down their Christmas night. I don’t have any money for presents for anyone, I feel bad about that, but I do have a present for you, so it can really be for all of you being the kind of present it is. I will take pictures of Casey on my phone and show you. I am seeing Bailey today. I am meeting Buddy and Melissa and the kids at their house this morning and they are decorating the tree and Melissa is making a nice lunch. Bailey so looks forward to time with me when we are with his kids, she loves it!! If my kids are happy, so am I. Its funny you still call us your babies. Dad said that to me last time we were in court. He said “Casey and Bailey are your babies Lainie, but your still my baby. I will stay down their with you for a couple of days , probably tues, wed, and thurs night, and will drive back friday. That following Monday I will start Job hunting. Pikes will be hiring everyone back at the end of February. the company is in “Chapter 11″ due to the drought, thus the lay offs.
