I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matter what they say it is a full time job and it is like any other job…….good days, bad days, easy days, stressful days…..only one difference no one relieves you for break time! Have I said I miss those days? When it is time and all the kids go home you take a deep breath and you press on. Now its time for your kids, dinner, sports, youth groups, activities of all sorts. Then and only then  the day finally ends and you fall into bed and wake up and do it all over again. I have really missed those days although the break is nice! I am blessed to have these people in my life but I am even more blessed that they choose me to LOVE their kids. So with a great big hug and smile Thank you for choosing me!!!

He Swallowed a What??

Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
