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.

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! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rog had to work at the station today and I got up when he left and checked email and such - I was trying to keep quiet so I wouldn't wake the sleepers...
I was quiet for as long as I could, but had to get started in the kitchen. I started with bread for lunch...tossed all the stuff in the bread machine to mix, knead and rise. From there, I started in on the Amish Friendship Bread a friend gave me - today was baking day! By the time I finally got that in the oven, the kitchen was pretty messy! While unloading the dishwasher, the sleeping kiddos woke up! They were happy to wait on 'chocolate chip bread' for breakfast and went straight to Indiana Jones on the Wii!
The HOG GAME started at 11:00 and my sis and one of our friends came over to watch it. Once they got here, I started chicken noodle soup and threw the bread in the oven.
Hogs played an awesome game and lunch turned out to be pretty yummy! I will post the recipe for the bread - really simple and really tasty!!
Everyone left - including Ry - and I spent the rest of the evening doing nothing!! It has been nice and quiet and I think I am about to hit a warm tub and the bed - complete with a book! Have a blessed Sunday all!
