It's been awhile since I last posted. The past few years have been a roller coaster. I forgot what it was like having a toddler. God blessed me with a son at the age of 41! During the Summer months we travel Michigan looking for fun things to do, I know he will be my last and with 19 years in between my son and daughter I want to make sure I don't miss a beat. The things he does and how fast he is learning it amazes me every day. I only wish he would slow down a bit. I am hoping I will be more active on the site. I would love to share the crazy things my son does and says with the world. He is one smart little boy and he brings so much joy to everyone he encounters. … [Read more...]
Being a Full Time Working Mom to Part Time
November 25, 2021 By Leave a Comment
I work home health care. For the past 3.5 years I have worked almost every day. I took care of an elderly man up until I got pregnant with my son 68 hours a week. After I got pregnant I had to fight with my employer to get other care takers to help. I was very dedicated to my client so if a caretaker didn't show up I would go help this client. It was extremely exhausting. I was even going to help a few days before I delivered my son. My client knew he could always count on me. The end of October everything changed. I got to clients house at 6:30 am. I noticed he had a lot on congestion. With his medical condition I decided to contact 911. They came out and loaded him up and took him to the ER. Well, the hospital decided it was a COPD flare up and they sent him home. I was so upset because I knew he wasn't in the right condition to be home. I went over there to help him get settled in for the evening. I expressed to his daughter how I was concerned about her dad. The following … [Read more...]
Do You Have A FishyPic
March 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment
My husband loves to fish, with the weather warming up, I am sure he will be at the lake or river most of the summer. Yesterday we went to the river, and while we didn't get to get any fishypic we did get to get some beautiful pictures of the river and the sun setting and we had a blast with some friends. I always love seeing fish pictures, I have noticed the guys around here though like to hold the fish a certain way to make the fish look bigger than it truly is. My husband has a friend that is good at that one! We like to not only get pictures of my husband and daughter with their fishes, we also like to have them held up to the tape measure so you can actually see the size of the fish. They haven't caught to many trophy size fish, but they have caught some close to it. My husband is working on his trophy bass, and he says once he gets it, he will be having a taxidermy mount it for him, so we can hang it on the wall. I am not much for fishing but I love going out by the … [Read more...]
How is The Weather Were You Are?
October 14, 2011 By 2 Comments
Michigan weather stinks! We went from having a beautiful week, to ending it with cold, and rain. It is currently 42 out, the wind is blowing and it rained all night. I can certainly tell winter is approaching. I can only hope it isn't to bad, I am so not use to driving in snow. Living in Tennessee for 8 years not having to worry about the cold white, wet stuff spoiled me. I mean sure I can drive in it when I have to, but I really don't like to. I may just be locked in the house for the winter. I will sleep the winter away, sound good? Does to me. I have been laid up in bed most the day, because days like this are so blah. I just want to grab me some hot chocolate, snuggle in bed with a book, and not come out of my room until my book is complete. That right there would be the life! However, I have a lot of stuff to do, so cuddling with a book and some hot chocolate has to sit on the back burner. How are some ways you find to motivate yourself when it is just to cold to remove … [Read more...]
