Bugs- and not the good kind!

T.G. has a bug of some type. She is over the vomiting part, but now has diarrhea, which lead to diaper rash and a raw bottom. She reluctantly sat down in the bathtub last night, but after she did, it seemed to provide some temporary relief. Please pray for her (and me!) to get over it so we can still go visit my sis. I don't want to go if either of us are sick, and I know Erin wouldn't want us there, anyway.

I aced my test yesterday! Thanks to all who prayed for me. I will be the first to admit that I could not do well in school without divine intervention. I pray before I study and before I take every test. . . it is only by the grace of God that I am able to go to school and be a wife/mom. If I tried to do it on my own, my life would be in more disarray than it already is.

I picked up some gifts for my sis and sis-in-law. I am using the guise of their birthday to give it to them. It is really special and something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I hope they both use it and come to love it as much as I have with mine. Jenn, I'll be mailing yours at some point- sorry I forgot to bring it with me last Saturday. I really wanted to see your face when you opened it. Maybe I'll just wait to give it to you when I see you again. . .

Wait. If you want to see me open it, I can wait.

I hope TG (and tj) feels better soon. Knock on wood ryan only vomited once, and seems to be fine this morning. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's the only one who gets it!

6 years in 10 minutes

It has been almost 3 years since my youngest was born, and about that same time, my life drastically changed. My older children at the time were 14, 12, 10, 8, and 7. My oldest was finally old enough and responsible enough to babysit. Now, to be clear, I didn't leave all of the children with him, but it was nice to be able to run errands and not have to take EVERYONE. That little fact was seriously life-changing. Additionally, my older children had acquired more responsibility at home in terms of life skills: they did (still do!) their own laundry, keep up with their rooms, can prepare full meals, and a host of other skills 100% independently. It took so long to get to that point, though, and the time between me being 100% responsible to them being fully responsible was the hard part. Like seriously, if you read back through my previous posts, you will see the struggles I openly shared as a mom and wife. Life ain't easy! And that brings us to now. 2020. My oldest i...

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 Reasons to live in SC. . . 1. Mild winters- it only snows about 1 time per year (unless, of course, you live in the mountains, although I don’t know how much snow even falls there). The average temperature hovers around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. On a cold day, it may drop into the low 40s. On a really cold day, it may be in the 30s, but those are few and far between. 2. Hot summers- summer is my favorite time of year. I love to swim, as do my kids, so we spend a lot of time in our pool. We also like to travel to the beach (we went 3 times last summer!) 3. Friendly people- most everyone waves as you drive down the street. Also, gathering in the warm summer evenings on the front porch is common and a great way to meet new people. 4. Sweet tea- I know you can get this in any Southern state, but I live in SC and that’s why it’s on my list! 5. Peaches and Strawberries- these are the main fruits grown in the part of the state where I reside. I love fr...
