Church day!

When I first got pregnant with Sophia, my husband's family told me to keep Sophia out of church for a while because she can get very sick. Well even though I appreciated their concerns the Sunday after we was born, we were at church. I have been going to church since I was born my Papa was a pastor for 33 years and I wanted my daughter to enjoy church just as much as I did and still do. Sophia has only been sick from ear infections, and I believe that is because I trust God more than anything in this world. Tonight, I took her to church, and she slept the entire time I believe it is because she was having a sweet sleep and was at peace. I will continue to let my daughter grow in the church and I know God will bless her. The church loves my daughter and love watching her grow up in their church but sometimes I feel like people are judging her when she cries but I know they are not but that is just my mother mind tricking me I guess. She is such a sweet girl and they will forever be grateful for her coming so I need to just relax! 


is so special to me, and I hope she grows up enjoying it as well.

Stomach bug equals no fun!

      I have never been this sick even when I was pregnant with my daughter! Monday at work I was sitting on the floor playing with my students and suddenly my stomach started aching just like the stomach bug aching! I tried to play it off like I was not hurting but inside I was in so much pain. I ended up getting up and getting my jacket because I started getting the chills and after no longer than 5 minutes, I threw up everywhere. I was absolutely embarrassed but I could not help it. The radioed my boss and she told me if I could drive to go ahead and go home. I was okay to drive home and went to my parents because that was where my daughter was due to my husband working that day. I slept honestly for 2 hours when I got there. My doctor believes I have a bad case of stomach virus because I have not eaten since Monday and cannot keep anything down! I have been lucky because my husband is off, and he has been taking care of my daughter while I rest but I am a mother first, so I am stil

My Papa

Image
            The other day at church I looked over at my Papa (Grandfather) and realized he was getting older, and my heart was breaking. I could see his skin and how older it was getting and how he is shaking and cannot take care of himself like he could. My Papa is 73 and I know in my heart that he is getting older and may not be with me very long. I pray he makes it to 150 but realistically I know that is unlikely. When my Maw maw died in 2017, I realized the life I short and to spend every chance I can with family because tomorrow is not promised. I am so grateful my daughter gets to know her Papa and knows the joy I had from him growing up. He is such a sweet man and would do anything he can for anyone. He served in Vietnam for the USMC and because of that he shakes very badly and cannot hold on to things that great. In 2020 during covid, he was outside in his workshop with a table saw and slipped while cutting a board and he lost two fingers because of this. He was told in 2005 th

College student but first Mother!

    I am currently a mother to an almost 15-month-old little girl named, Sophia! When I first decided that I wanted to go back to school and get a degree the whole reason I wanted to was for her. I want her to have a wonderful life and know that she can do anything she sets her mind to. So far this week I have been able to stay up late or get up early to work on assignments. I have a wonderful support system, my family. My husband is a deputy for Davie County Sheriff's office and so his schedule is different than most. When he is off, he has been handling her so I can do schoolwork. When he is working, I am here with her, and I have been very blessed because if she is fed and has a clean diaper all she needs is toys and she is perfectly okay. She does though from time to time want attention, so I have to put schoolwork away for a little bit until she is calmed down.      All my classes are pretty straightforward, and I am enjoying them very much! I am hoping once I graduate from DD
