FIREFIGHTERS WIFE: TOUGHEST JOB IN THE DEPARTMENT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Happily married for 11 years. Rog is a fulltime FireFighter, as well as a volunteer on the small department in our community. Firefighting is not just a job, it is a way of life - for the firefighter, as well as the family of one. It is an adjustment, an attitude you have to have. You have to be ready to let him go at a moments notice, without knowing when to expect him back home. You have to let go of your 'what-if' fears and stand proud of who he is.

Greater love hath no man than this, a man that lay his life down for his friends.

Glutton for punishment?

Posted in Fun Times


WOW! What a day we have had!!  We got up super early and Rog and Riley went to softball practice.  Rog then ran a few errands and took Riley to Gramma's house. Rog and his dad headed to the deer woods.  Samantha and I met 3 other Girl Scouts and a mom at the church and we took off to Greenbriar to Johnstons' Pumpkin Patch. The girls went thru 6 different stations at the patch, including a hay ride and a petting zoo of sorts.  They got to pick a pie pumpkin and we had a picnic lunch there.

After we dropped the rest of the crew off, we grabbed Riley, then headed home to get cleaned up for the Ghoul Scout Gala!  Riley was a mighty hunter! And Samantha was the spider princess!  (Mom was cheap and we made costumes from what we had at home!). All of my girls showed up, they had a great time!  One of the girls, and one of the tag alongs (my friends' son) came home with me. It is 11:45 and I *think* all is finally quiet around here. I am tired, but will not go to bed until they are all asleep!

The tricky part will be this - we are going to church in the morning!  Four kiddos up, fed, dressed and brushed -plus me - and out the door by 9:45 - we shall see!!

I will post some pictures next week.  I have to go thru and pick out the ones that are just my kiddos and not any other scouts.

Ready for cooler temps?

A good way to get that way would be to visit my friend Ruth and read about the give aways on her blog.   She is being featured at Growing in Grace and showing how to step by step how to make her scarf.  Go check it out!!

I spent a lot of time sitting here at the desk today.  Finishing up thier school work, dealing with some Girl Scouts stuff, dealing with some Fire Department stuff, just paper work.

Finally about 1:00 I decided I needed to run a few errands.  We loaded up, dropped of my prescriptions, dropped off some paper work for GS,  went to the library ~mainly to return all of our books and our paper for 4H.  Picked up my meds, then we were back home.

We had a quick fix dinner, took baths, and they are settled for the evening and I am about to be!

Hardwood Floors

Posted in Life in general


What kind of flooring do you have?  Our house is mostly hardwood floors.  I think we are a bit backwards - our kitchen and dining room are two of the three rooms that have carpet!  The family room is the other.  Weird huh?

The rest of the house has hardwood floors.  We have been looking into some rugs for the bedrooms.  All three of our bedrooms, the hall and the school room have hardwood floors. I am thinking that in the winter, a nice persian rug would be nice to step onto striaght out of bed.  The floors are always a bit chilly and if I am barefoot, it makes me even colder.  My main concern is during the summer time.  It gets HOT here in the summer!  Do rugs make a difference in the temperature of the house?

We have loooked at rugs before, and we have found some very pretty hand knotted rugs, but I guess I haven't been able to match the colors with my bedroom colors.  Since winter is coming up and gas prices have done nothing but go up, then we need to look again and see about purchasing a nice one for our room.  The comforter on the bed is getting pretty ragged also, so maybe it is time for a fill bed room make over!

Being a homeschooling mom to 8 year old girl/boy twins is not much easier than being the wife of a Firefighter, but God placed me here for some reason, so I might as well enjoy the ride!
