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

Working while going through school

Image
 I started working last week at a local daycare and it is a big adjustment going to school being a mom and working! I know one day it will pay off, but I wonder when it is going great so far because I am so organized, but I need a new plan. I see my husband graduate and I want that too! I know Sophia will be so proud of me; honestly, that is all I want to make my daughter proud of me! I will continue to push forward and work towards that degree so I can graduate and walk across that stage and look at Sophia and say I did it for you sweet girl! When she sees me walk across that stage, she will know I did it for her and my husband! I want my daughter to know that even as a mother and a wife you can complete anything you set your mind to. It is a big step going back to school after you have been out of school for so long but when you are determined you definitely can achieve anything you set your mind to!  I will have a degree in business administration and get a career going!

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
