Summer

The girls
Wow, the summer has flown by! Our summer in a nutshell:
- I started back to work full time.
- Blair finished his first term of graduate school at AUM (with a 4.0 I might add!).
- Jordyn turned 5.
- Chloe turned 3.
- We still haven’t found a church.
- Blair played super dad during the day while I worked.
- The girls spent a weekend at my mom’s house in Pensacola & enjoyed the beach.
- I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).
- Blair & I both were stung by yellow jackets. I had a nice allergic reaction.
- Jordyn started waking up at night, alot!
- Since my schedule changed I & stopped working all nights, we had many family dinners together. The first time in 5 years we have all been home most evenings.
- Jordyn lost 2 teeth & has 2 more that are loose.
- Chloe is almost potty trained.
The summer has brought many changes & challenges. We are now preparing for the weeks to come. Blair started back work today & will start his second semester of graduate school next week. Jordyn has her first day of Kindergarten on Thursday. Chloe starts preschool on Monday. I am looking forward to all these changes because I will get a WHOLE day to myself during the week without anyone else to take care of. I work most Saturdays, so this will free up a day off during the week. Also, on the weekends where I work Sundays too, I will get 2 days!
I still check in … what is PCOS??? and sounds like you guys have been staying busy — I can’t believe our babies are loosing teeth and starting kindergarten — and getting soo big!! It is a whole new ballgame!!!
and i am jealous of all these girls and their success with the potty — I wish there was a certain little man who would pay it some attention!!!:???:
I am jealous of a day to yourself. I have a way to go on that note unless I can get creative at First Methodist. We would love ya’ll to come to the old clinic for church with us. It doesn’t smell too bad!!
Having a day to myself was nice, but not as outstanding as I had built up in my mind. I did 4 loads of laundry, unloaded/reloaded dishwasher, cleaned up toys from everywhere, sweeping, mopping, tub & shower cleaning, cleaned out refrigerator, hauled out 2 bags of trash, made beds & showered. It was just so pampering & glamorous! LOL!
Penny- To answer your question about PCOS, I found this definition:
“PCOS is a health problem that can affect a woman’s menstrual cycle, fertility, hormones, insulin production, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. Women with PCOS have these characteristics: an irregular menstrual cycle, many cysts in their ovaries, weight problems, ovulation problems, hormonal imbalance, insulin imbalance, irregular bleeding, pelvic pain, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc etc”
Sounds lovely doesn’t it?
