Welcome to my life

I hope that you enjoy reading about my life and things that go on in my world. I pray that my thoughts are encouraging and uplifting to you in some way. If I happen to have a day when things are not always so pleasant, please, I ask forgiveness ahead of time for being such a wet blanket. May God bless you richly.

Who am I?

I am a Christian woman trying to be the best I can be for the Lord. I am the wife of a wonderful Christian husband (Matt) of 20 years. I am the mother of five children. Three wonderfully sweet boys, Sean age 17, Joshua age 13, and Nathaniel age 4. On December 2, 2015 we adopted 16 twins Chris and Destiny. God and my family are the most important things in my life.

The worst week

I think this has been by far the worst week I have had in a long time. Matt being gone is one thing, but then both of my boys getting sick was the icing on the cake. Why do they say that? The icing on the cake is great. At least the icing on my cakes. Maybe I'm using it wrong. Anyhow, this week has really stunk. It all started Saturday with Matt leaving for a week of work in Yuma, AZ. So, I am missing him terribly right. Then Sean gets sick and starts running a fever of 102.3-103.4. So all day Saturday Sean just laid around not wanting to do anything. Not even play Wii. Poor guy.=( Then to top that off Sunday night his fever was replaced with vomiting. Which he continued to do through Tuesday. So Sean starts feeling better and I am very happy about that. Tuesday afternoon I go to pick up Joshua from school. I am talking to his teacher. I had asked her to keep an eye on him since Sean had been sick. He was fine all day she said. We get home and Sean and Joshua played and ran around outside the rest of the afternoon. Both of them seemed to be fine. That night (Tues.) Joshua woke me up coughing like you would not believe. He was having a hard time even getting enough breath. It really scared me. It scared him to because he said "I'm going to die". Really he said that. It was so sad. I think he really thought he was going to die. We got some water and that helped some. His throat was really hurting him. I put the humidifier in his room and he settled back down. I think our dog Lily was worried about him too because she did something that night that she had never done. She slept with him in his room. He woke up several times that night coughing. I finally ended up moving him into bed with me. That was a very long and exhausting night. The next morning (Wed.) I called and made a doctors appointment. It turns out he has a really bad case of the flu and the croup. No school for him the rest of the week and no going anywhere. We made a quick run to the grocery store after the appointment and then back home. I had already missed my Sign language class on Monday night. Now I have to cancel my ladies bible class for this week. Which I am teaching and I had to cancel FPU(financial peace university) for Thursday night. Matt will be back on Saturday and by then I will probably be sick so the next week will probably stink too. But I will still have to function and take care of the boys and the house and Matt and Lily and the Cats. That's what mom's do right. I know this blog probably sound like a big complaint and maybe it is. I think I just needed to vent cause right now I'm just feeling, well...I can't put into words how I am feeling. There are just to many. I hate it when my little ones are sick. I hate it even more when they are both sick back to back and Matt is not here to share in it with me.=( I guess that is all for now.
