calling in sick

Today I had to call in sick not for me being sick but Cameron. I dont know about you but I hate calling in sick.It makes me feel that I am not very reliable. This guilt comes over me I am not sure why because really, will they fire me for having an ill child? I dont think so and If that happens I need to remember it is the will of God.It is hard when you work outside of the home and you are responsible for more people then yourself. When you have a boss that does not have children this becomes very difficult because they are not sensitive to the fact that someone needs to nurture a sick child. I have a new understanding of what moms go through battling the guilt of when to call in or not. So today while at home I am baking cookies catching up on laundry and doing housework (well, kind of).I pray that Cameron will feel better and I will enjoy the rest of my day. And remember The Good Lord is in control of ALL things! Jen

New photos

I know I have posted alot of new blogs. I wanted to post photos of Christian it is very rare when we can take pictures of him because he is never around it seems. But here are some of him and cameron playing around. It is fun to see being that they are so far apart in ages They get along so well.

Cameron made a hut in the backyard. He loves to create things.Cameron getting his first soccer trophy at skate world. Snow day 2008 It is so beautiful watching it fall. I love the snow. Cayden choir concert. He is in choir this year and loves it. Brian making a fire. I love to have a fire in the fireplace. Again Where's Christian? I will post photos of him soon. LOL

Hello All!

I have not posted a blog in so long. I even have been tagged Im not sure what that means but it looks fun. I am not very computer literate it is not my specialty. I dont know how to link to other people. I will write 7 random things about myself but then I am not sure how to send it off to others anyway here goes.
1. I can never sleep on christmas eve. I have been this way since I was young, I get so excited I cant sleep.
2. I love to wake up at the crack of dawn and read and drink my coffee before anyone wakes up.
3. I am addicted to starbucks and coffee in general.
4. I have not had my natural hair color since high school. I love to change it all the time.
5. I have to talk to my sis on the phone everyday or every other. We are really close when we were little I hated for her to leave to go to friends I always had to go.This drove her nuts.(sorry sis)
6. One I am not proud of I repeated 8th grade.I never cared for school. Since kindergarten. I dreaded school EVERY DAY.
7. Someday I want to backpack through Europe. After I retire Brian and I want to be campground hosts at all the national parks.

two other kids

Its so funny reading past blogs I have written. You would think I only Have one child. I write of Cameron a lot. I think the reason for this is Cayden and Christian are always off doing things. It seems sometimes Cameron is the only one. Last night Cayden went with friends to a football game and Christian was at a football game also. Brian, Cam and I went to dinner It felt so weird for it to be just the three of us. I am sure this is gonna continue on. Christian is talking about where he wants to go to college and he wants to get a place with a friend, that is gonna be so hard. I am sure he will be home for dinner about five nights a week being he does'nt know how to cook and will be a broke college student, although we may be broke too, being we have to pay for college. Anyone want to have us for dinner? Oh and did I mention Cayden is embarrassed of me. Funny story I took him to school to go to the book fair and he told me not to get out of the car I said "are you embarrassed of your mother?" He replied "Yes I am!"
Well the time has come. Good ole seventh grade. Well I guess I cant blame him I probably would have tripped getting out of the car or something. Anyways I am rambling. Thanks for rambling.

volunteer

Today I had the opportunity to volunteer in Cameron's class. Of course he remained on his best behavior while I was there I was very proud. I hope I can continue to do this on a weekly basis being he has had some challenges so far in 1st grade. I Know he will continue to do well. Although He came home today and confessed he said a Bad Word! Apparently no one heard He claims he said it under his breath. I told him it is not appropriate to say bad words, it is disrespectful and the Lord doesnt like it. Next time say Shishkabob or Sugar (now you know what word he said it starts with sh) Oh no boy do I have trouble on my hands. We will just nib this is the bud.
