The Blues

Since the weather was rainy on Saturday, we had an opportunity to be together as a family for the entire day. Th’s baseball game was cancelled so TJ and the boys went with the baby and me to run errands. We had a good time considering the boys hate to run errands. When we got home, we caught up on some indoor things that needed to be taken care of such as switching Ta’s clothes from size 18 months to 2T and storing stuff in the attic. We also played around with the boys. It was me versus TJ, Th, & Ta. We had fun, and the boys had a great time wrestling around.

I have been fighting a cold or something since late last week. It finally hit me full-force yesterday. I woke up feeling horrible, and today is even worse. I am achy everywhere, my ears and throat hurt, and I just want to sleep. I finished Th’s scrapbook pages but still need to complete the other child’s and the 2 title pages. I was hoping to get more accomplished, but since I slept most of the afternoon, that didn’t happen!

I did read 2 books over the weekend, though. I completed “Tallahassee Higgins” by Mary Downing Hahn and “Dear Mr. Henshaw” by Beverly Cleary. Both of them are excellent books, and after having read them now as an adult, I can understand how I loved them as a child. Well, Th has a baseball game tonight and I need to finish making supper. We’re having homemade lasagna and garlic bread. The boys are also calling me to come see their latest find: a baby lizard on a plant in the flower bed. More tomorrow, and hopefully I’m feeling better!

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 places I have been or would like to go. . . 1. Santiago, Chile, South America This was my first trip when I was in the military. It was awesome! 2. Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. Traveled here with the military. I had a great time, although I only stayed for a few nights. It was too cold to swim in the ocean but it was nice to see the beach. 3. Palermo, Sicily, Europe This is my family's roots. My great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Palermo, and it was so awesome to be able to share in my heritage. I traveled here while in the military, and I loved every bit of this country. Mt. Etna is also located in Sicily, and on several occasions (I've been to Sicily several times), Mt. Etna was erupting. It was majestic to see, especially at night. Too many highlights to say what my favorite part of this country was, but the memories I hold will definitely last a lifetime. 4. Rota, Spain, Europe Again, traveled here with the military.
