A Bummer of a Week....

Firefighters in my own backyard!!

Pretty much finished putting the fire out!

I am so relieved that last week is over!!! It is what you call a "BUMMER OF A WEEK"!!! It all started with us having to leave Texas when we were having a blast!! I know vacations have to end, but why last week!=) Then when leaving we took this flying prison sort-of-thing called an airplane with two babies!!! Yes, and we had to hold one the entire time. Now, you think this is pretty easy for two adults, a toddler, and an infant...who has purchased three tickets...! It is not!! Good grief my babies screamed like the whole plane ride back!! It was mostly Tyler, then he fell asleep...but guess who woke up after he fell asleep...yup...MEGAN!!! And boy did she let her presence be felt!!!I wanted to scream...we were getting all sorts of glares and stares! James said when we landed...that kinda flight makes him want to BAN FLYING for are family!!! AMEN to that brother!!=) We don't care if we have to drive for two whole days to get to where we need to go, but it is better than holding screaming kids for three hours!!!

Now that was on Monday...you say good grief... but it did not end there....on Tuesday...I was putting Megan and Ty down for their afternoon nap, and Meg pointed at the window which was closed and said she was scared...so, I walked over to the window and opened it to show her that there was nothing scary about her window...when I did, I saw our woods on fire...now I am not talking about a little fire, it was big and it was spreading fast up to our house! I freaked out and called 911. Praise the Lord, others had already called and the fire department was already on there way. But when the fire department got there they were down the hill on the path putting it out from down there, while the fire was going uphill towards my house...yeah, I grabbed the hose and started playing firefighter!! Someone else called and told them the fire was getting 10ft. from my house...so, they brought two small fire trucks...one was right in my yard!!! The pictures above are when the fire was already put out...Praise the Lord they got it out!

That is not all, this whole time we had been back from Texas, Megan had been coughing and it was getting worse, so on Wednesday...I check her temp. and she had a fever! Great fever+Megan= seizure if not watched!! So, I was up all night with Meg...the next day Thursday we took her to the doc. and found out she had bronchitis. Her fever went to 103.9...I know the only reason she did not seizure was because of God! James and I were praying like crazy! All day long we fought and battled her fever! We are still dealing with her being sick from her antibiotics, but her fever is gone PRAISE THE LORD!!

On Sunday, a tornado hit like two minutes from our house! Praise the Lord, it didn't come near our house!!

We have seen the Lord work in our home this week!! Protecting our family several times! I am so glad we have someone to run to with our worries! I am so glad it is a new week! Megan is almost better...and everything else has been pretty calm!! That was my week! =) Hope you had a better one!=) Thanks for checking in!!
