July is Gone…Hello August!

July is Gone…Hello August!

It’s hard to believe that July has come and gone! Life got busy during the month of July as I started working full-time again after being a stay at home mom for almost 6 years. I have enjoyed the extra income into the house and 

Life has been Busy

It seems like me being able to blog lately has been off. Life has been busy now that Olivia is finishing up her 7th grade year and with straight A’s!! This is a big improvement compared to how it was the past several years! She 

Another Round of Snow

Another Round of Snow

Well it seems that winter has wanted to stay a little longer this year. Normally we only have about 1 good round of snow for the season but this year it seems to be wanting more. I think this has to be one of the most active years since we moved down here to NC and while I’m not going to complain about it much, I will instead enjoy it.

I have known several of my friends complain about how we in the south don’t know how to handle snow or the cold weather. That our homes should be well insulated and all that. But our homes are made to keep the warmth out and not the other way around. We also aren’t that equipped to handle all this snow. So even though I might not drive in it much not because I don’t know how to…but it’s to avoid the others who might be on the road. Now I have to say that many folks around here don’t even know how to drive when the roads are dry and the weather is clear, so that really doesn’t give us much hope for when there is snow or any kind of wintery mix out there. So when I say I’m not going to venture out it’s because I don’t want to be in an accident because of the idiot drivers out there.

But today I did however venture out in it a little before it got too bad and had to get gas in the van and also get my new medication for this nasty cough I’ve had for a good week now. So now that we’re back home we got to enjoy watching the snow come down all afternoon. It’s still snowing outside as I speak and write this and so far we’ve gotten 6″ from the last I went out to check. I will just enjoy this weather and this beauty that God has given to us!

Sickness…Go Away!

Sickness…Go Away!

So the past week, I have been dealing with some kind of sickness. I didn’t want to go to the doctor last week, but after my fever wouldn’t break I decided to do the Doctors on Demand again and let me say that not having 

Fall is Coming!!!

Fall is Coming!!!

I can tell that Fall is coming soon! The weather has changed and it’s a nice change too. Today the weather was so nice and I was able to sit in the car line at Olivia’s school and it was nice to sit with the 

Sickness in the House

Sickness in the House

I think for the past month we have shared germs galore! I have been very sick for the past 4 weeks and have gone to the doctor countless times, the ER and to have a battery of tests done! This has not been easy on my immune system and has not been easy for anyone in our house! I have been diffusing a lot and I need to get some more OnGuard and some OnGuard Beadlets to start taking! I am so tired of this sickness and now I might have Pertussis and this is crazy! I never knew that I could still get pertussis but with my immune disorder, I guess I can.

 

Olivia is fighting a cold and Jason just got over a cold. So this has been super hard for our family! Just pray that I get over this stuff soon! I’m so tired of being sick and I am on bed rest until I can get better. They think my asthma is out of control but honestly I feel that it’s not my asthma and it’s something else. I had a CT Scan on Monday and that came back normal thankfully but now I’m waiting on the test for pertussis to come back. Just had that done today. I have been back to the doctor for the past 2 weeks twice a week. So far no appointments for next week but praying that I get some good results about why I’m so sick! I think honestly after doing all the steroids, antibiotics and more I should be doing better.

Busy Holiday Season Already!

Busy Holiday Season Already!

Now that the holiday’s are upon us, it’s been extremely busy for us. Since Thanksgiving has come and gone, we have been blessed to have Jason go through Training Engineer class and he is now an TE for Schneider. This is one of his dream 

Labor Day Weekend

College is back in Session

College is back in Session

t’s hard to believe that my summer is up and it’s time for my college courses to begin again. I have decided to only do classes now part time as it was too difficult for me to do 4 classes in a semester so I decided to go ahead and take only 1 class per 8 weeks. This first 8 weeks I decided to retake Corporate Finance as I didn’t do so well in it last time. I have been working on the homework every day for several hours and I have been doing the problems at the back of each chapter as well. I feel like this is a good start for me and I just completed my textbook homework that is due on Monday. I feel like I have already accomplished something and didn’t rush in doing so. This is something that I am horrible about doing so I’m glad that I could go ahead and get it started. I don’t want to fail in this class so I am doing everything that I can to get a passing grade. Much better than the last time I did so.

This past month has come and gone and it’s hard to believe that starting tomorrow it will be August! I have thought long and hard about what my next post will be and I chose not to do it as a review. I have had
