Relaxing. . . finally!

Yesterday was a productive day. I began working on the scrapbook pages for Th’s teacher. I haven’t scrapbooked in almost a year, and it was nice to be able to get back into it, even if only for a short time. I told TJ he could use the space for his computers since I don’t have as much time to devote to scrapbooking as I’d like. It seems like he is constantly helping someone out with a computer problem, so it makes more sense to use the space for that rather than my summertime hobby. After I finish these pages, I will pack everything up for storage. That will be difficult to find as it seems we are quickly outgrowing our house! I’d like to store everything where I can access it when needed. I have to make a total of 9 pages by next Friday, and I have the layout completed for 1. 4 of the pages will be the same, so it’s really just a matter of copying everything once I get the 2 of them finished. I will try to take some pictures when I get them completed.

It has been so hot here lately, in the 90s. We went to the pool on Tuesday and spent about an hour and a half just playing and swimming. The kids loved it! The water was chilly, but refreshing. Ta and T.G. have horrible allergies, and yesterday was a bad day for them. We just kind of hung around the house. Yesterday was the first time I found myself really enjoying having a little girl. Before then, there really was no difference- she was just like the other 2. Yesterday, however, it was so hot and humid I pulled my hair up. I pulled her hair up, too! She looked so adorable with her little pig-tails. Even the boys noticed her hair, which surprised me. I took some pictures of her!

Not much going on today, either. We are running some errands (I’ll have to prepare Th before we go as to the etiquette I expect of him!) and then a friend is coming over to go through my maternity clothes. She has been trying for a very long time to get pregnant again, and after 2 miscarriages, the Lord has blessed her with a healthy pregnancy. She is due in August and found out she is having another girl. She has 2 children, a daughter who is 7 and a son who will be 5 in November. Her son and Th are friends, so Th will be happy to have him over.

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.
