I have a few minutes this morning to blog, so I thought I would jump on it! Tim and Teagyn are sleeping in and Gavyn and I are waking up, watching cartoons and having coffee (yes, Gavyn too!) I know, it is not good for them at his age...but every once in awhile is okay, right?! He is just like me in more ways than one! LOL! I had a wonderful Mothers day, I woke up to a table full of flowers and cards. Gavyn andc Teagyn both got me Lilly's and Tim bought me a beautiful hanging basket. They each picked out their own and their cards for me! So precious! Tim went above and beyond to feel special yesterday! Later that morning, we went to Tim's Mom's and had dinner with her and her boyfriend (who we LOVE), Sam. And later in the afternoon my Mom, Grandma, and brother came over to our house. And, just before 8.......Maddie called "to wish me a Happy Mother's day"! I fought back tears! To think a year ago, we had not seen her for a few years and now she thought to call ME on Mothers Day! That meant the world to me.
My brother also brought his dirt bikes over, and Tim flipped it, of course! Just when he has been going to the chiropractor for the last month and finally getting his back problems straightened out, he does that! Uhg, men I tell ya. He's okay, just sore! And is going back to the Chiro this morning....we will see what he thinks about him doing that, lol!
Last week, I finally broke and let Gavyn get a couple gold fish at the store. He has wanted them for some time, but I was just not ready to take care of them- MYSELF! Haha! So we had a fish bowl and net from "Johnathon" -who was Maddie's fish when she was little. So, all we need were some rocks. I am surprised at how well Gavyn is taking care of them, he feeds them -the right amount- without my even asking. He is growing up waaayy to fast.
Tonight Gavyn has soccer, Tim will most likely leave Tuesday morning and I start my summer class on Thursday! I am not ready to go back to it just yet, I have enjoyed these 2 weeks off immensely! I will have lecture two days a week for three hours! Ugh, that seems like such a long time! I am however, a little excited to be in-seat for this class. I have taken on-line classes for the past few semesters, so this will be a good change!
I hope that all of you mothers had a wonderful Mothers day like I did!
I think about 4 months have past since I have blogged, so much has happened in that short amount of time. To fill you in briefly... I have finished up another semester on this journey towards nursing school. Anthropology, which I loved, I got an A+ in. And Psychology (liked, but a tough class/instructor) I finished with a B. Not to shabby! I am taking Philosophy this summer semester for about 8 weeks and then I have 2 months off. I believe that I will get into the program fall of 11, I am getting there, after summer semester I only have 3 classes left to take, and then just to wait on that waiting list!
Tim is good, not loving his job by any means. It is tough having him gone all week, for all of us. Today, I am working on a resume for him to try and find something more local for him. With the economy it's hard to say if that is possible, but I am going to try!
Gavyn is playing soccer on Monday nights....SO stinkin' cute I can hardly stand it. Tim has stayed home Mondays to watch him too, that has been nice. Tim has been practicing with him quite a bit, and I think we are both surprised at how good he is. There is a fall soccer team too, so if he likes it, we will do that too. Teagyn loves to watch the games; although, he usually is running around with his cousin more than anything- fine by me.....exert that energy! LOL! Needless to say they both sleep like rocks on Monday nights.
Gavyn and Teagyn are both going to preschool this fall- something that I can hardly believe. Gavyn will be in 4 school, and Teagyn in 3 school. Both boys will have a friend that they know in their classes, so they are getting really excited!! Life is defiantly changing. Change is good though! :) Maddie is good. The situation has not changed, we have a very limited relationship with her, and it is heart breaking....but it is also out of our control, so, we continue to pray for things to be different!!
I am going to try to be a little better about staying connected to this blog world! I miss catching up on all of your too! Here are some pics......
