Joys of Change

Simple Joys of Christmas are here. The reason for the season to be focused on. As I head into this Holiday season I am looking at the different things in life. Noticing that one thing has come to mind. My faith is stronger than ever. The way I love my God is amazing. However, many things about me as a person has changed. Things I use to love, I don’t so much anymore. Things I enjoy have changed. I look at my friends and the friends I once had something in common with have drifted. The common link is now missing. The common link may be missing but the love for each other is still great. I notice the people I thought I was friends with are no longer. I have found one of the issues that remain the constant battle in my life of those issues. It is the spread of kids I have. While my friends are going to McDonalds and playing in playing land we are doing other things beyond that in our season of life. However, I wouldn’t change a thing. I have been given the gift of motherhood by God and love every age my children are. I watch and listen as people talk about the Christmas shopping and the time of year and I chuckle. This year has been by far the most challenging year for shopping. Lets face it I am shopping for little Tutus and Polly pockets, to Cars 2 remote cars, all the way up to Drivers Ed……..Yikes! My heart is happy, my family is healthy! Let the Christmas season begin and the Joys the Lord has provided shine through and through this season and all year through!

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...

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 matte...

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...
