Quiet Monday

It was a raining Monday here today. The kind of day you want to just stay in bed and snuggle up with a good book. Well that is not what happened. I got woke up at 4:00 am with my daughter complaining that her head hurt really bad. So up I get to find the children's motrin and give her the recommended doses only to have it come back up thirty minutes later. So from 4 am on we have been up. J was done throwing up by 6 am and has been on the go since. Of course that meant a day off from work to spend with her. Too bad it wasn't for something fun.

What I want to be when I grow up

As I had posted before I started taking some college courses to get my teaching degree and I did really well Spring Semester 2 A's and a B. The B was algebra and I missed an A by .10 points.

As the fuel prices went up and up (my dh is an over the road truck driver) and health insurance went up again I went back to work to help out. I went back to the same job I left to be at home with J. Well technically not the same job, but the same company with great health insurance and pay better then most places. Starting pay at my company is $11.45 and insurance is only $27 every two weeks. But anyways, back to my orignial thought. I wanted to be a school teacher, but now that I am back in the electronic distribution industry and after being gone for almost 4 years and falling right back into the rountine and really enjoying it, I don't know if I will finish up with my schooling or not. The work I am doing is stimulating and I really enjoy it. Maybe this is my true calling.

Haven't Been Here for a while

Well, I sure have not kept up with this blog as much as what I had hoped, but here is what is going on in our house. J is going to be starting kindergarten in September and I have gone back to work. DH is an over the road truck driver and with fuel prices going crazy we needed the extra income and now we have health insurance through my work and are saving $600 a month on health insurance also.

J is a little sad that she is now going to daycare, but at the same time her best friend goes to the same one and they get to play everyday now. It is hard on me too because we have put our adoption on hold for now until we get somewhat caught up on our bills, not that we are behind, but we want to have somethings paid off. As much as I want to bring another child into our lives the expense is not something we can do at this time.

We are just now discussing the possiblity of looking into adopting a child between 1-3 years of age. DH says he doesn't need the baby stage again, but, I'm not sure if I want to miss out on the first smiles, rolling over and everything that goes with babies. We have a lot to talk about.

Hopefully I will get better at posting more often.

My goodness, it has been along time since my last post and so much has happened. We have been offered to be presented to two different birth moms and have declined both. The first was a birthmom that was going to place her four children ages 5, 2, and twins that are 3 months. We just could not wrap our minds around going from 1 child to 5 overnight. The second situation was a birthmom who had placed with a single mom and then the state would not approve it. There was no way we would be able to get our finances ready to go in the time frame that they needed. So we continue to wait.

I have been extremely busy with school. Taking 3 online classes has been very overwhelming and time consuming. It has been very interesting. My American Lit class that I thought I would have so much trouble with has actually been going very well.

I just took my daughter to the doctor yesterday because she had a fever that I could not get under control. They elected to test her for both strep throat and influenza. Well the test came back that she does indeed have the true flu. It sure has not kept her down though. She her fever only lasted a day and she is bouncing all over the place this morning so she must be on the mend.
