Lessons learned from the past week

1. A toothache is not a pain to ignore.

2. I am still deathly afraid of the dentist.

3. Root canals stink.

4. Pain medicine is fabulous.

5. Dogs can in fact get pink eye.

Needless to say, it was a crazy week but we survived. I am so grateful for a sweet husband who took care of me and calmed me down at the dentist. Bella has/had pink eye and we are currently having eye drops put in twice a day. Always something! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Mother's Day

I know Mother's Day is over, but I didn't have a chance to write a post.

Now that I am older, I realize all the stuff that my mom did for the 4 of us growing up. I can't imagine how much she gave up so that we could have what we needed. When I told my husband that she still made my lunch for me when I was a senior in high school, he was shocked. I didn't do my first load of laundry until I went to Auburn. I know that might sound really bad and that I was spoiled, but the 4 of us were anything but spoiled. My mom loved taking care of us and she still does. I am quite sure she went to bed every night exhausted, but she always did her best to make sure we were happy. I am blessed to have such an amazing mom and friend. Happy Mother's Day!


I am also very lucky to have a great mother in law. Kathy and I worked together for 2 years and it was during this time that we were able to form a friendship. I enjoy talking to her and hanging out with her. She would do anything for Matt and I, and I love her for that. I love her for giving me a great husband and for being such a great mother in law. Happy Mother's Day!
