as a firefighter's wife...

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

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

Happily married for 12 years. Rog is a fulltime FireFighter, as well as the training officer for the volunteer 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.

as a homeschool mom...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Being a homeschooling mom to 9 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!

We did have a little better day today - not much, but a bit. We got up at a decent time and got started, but seems that school drug out forever. We finally finished about the time Rog got home. He loaded the kiddos up and went to his moms. I stayed around here passing time until Mom's Night Out with our homeschool group. I was so tired, I almost went to sleep and just missed out on MNO, but I held out and went and I had a blast. We laughed so hard...had the best time.

On a lighter note, I ran into my cousin while we were there, and she told me that my great aunt, that has ovarain cancer (I think I mentioned her not to long ago) was back here in the hospital and not doing all that great. I talked to mom after I left and she said they really don't know much, just that the cancer is causing her much pain. Mom said they had given her sme morphine and she was resting better -not great- when mom left.
