Moving Stress!

Ah, there is nothing like moving from one side of the world to the other.

Today is Wednesday and we leave on Monday morning. We still don't know when the movers will come to pack our things and ship them home. My husband's company (please don't include the name if you leave a comment) has been very slow about getting things done. Dwayne is very busy at work. He works this entire week, we arrive in Houston on Monday; he has to work on Tuesday. What kind of mess???

Lucy is sad because she's going to miss the kids. She said Dwayne and I are okay but she's really going to miss Danae and Brayden. And then, she cried. I felt bad for her.

I'm a little sad about leaving but excited to go back to Houston. I can't wait! More than that, I can't wait to be settled into the comfort of my own home.

Please pray that things run smoothly and that we are blessed with safe travels on the long flight home.

So we're really counting down now.

Hope your flight is smooth and I hope Dwayne isn't too jet lagged/tired to work on Tuesday.

Can't wait to see you guys!!!

I pray that the movers come and pack your things up and things will run smoothly. I also hope the flight is smooth and Dwayne gets some rest for Tuesday.
I'm so excited to see you all.

Lord please bless the Gibson family as they travel back to the states. Please be with Bridge as she tries to ease the children and herself back into their lives in Houston. I pray a special blessing for Dwyane as he (Lord have mercy) has to go back to work just one day after traveling across the world. Lord give him strength from on high. I ask for safe travels, and lots of rest and help from friends and family. I ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Love ya Bridge

I know it can't be easy and it sure doesn't sound it, but the family is definitely in our prayers for a smooth transition back into the states. You guys are truly missed and loved by many.

Don't worry...God is working it out. It will all come together.

well i'm glad that medicine isn't the only profession that doesn't believe in people being well rested to perform their job. I'm praying for your safe return to the states.

Wishing you and your family a very safe trip back. Hope your husband will be able to get some rest.

LOL at Lucy's comment. That's something my MIL would say to us when we go home to visit too ;)

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s

Baby Making (Or Not)

So, as I've said before, I'm getting my tubes tied this year. I have had so many people tell me they don't agree with this. I've been told that I should let God decide how many children we have or ask him to close my womb. I should wait and see if I want more children in the future. It's too permanent. What if something happens to my children and I decide I want more later. I honestly didn't expect to run in to so much opposition. First of all, it's my body and my decision. Secondly, I am absolutely sure that I don't want more children. And lastly, it really is my decision. The funny thing is that my friend who has 5 children has received a lot of criticism for the size of her family and was told repeatedly that she should've gotten her tubes tied. Now, there are other circumstances in that particular family that would warrant such remarks. But my point is that people are never satisfied. If we continued to have children, I'm sure someone would s

Christmas in September?

Apparently, living in Manila is going to provide plenty of material for me to write about. Here goes: We have been provided several books to help us adapt to life in the Philippines. Something we read was very beneficial for us yesterday. We went to SM which is a department store, furniture store, grocery store, and several restaurants all in one. Danae had to use the bathroom and guess what? There was no toilet tissue. No, they didn't run out. They don't put tissue in the bathrooms at all. No empty tissue holder or anything. Because I read about that, I had a little tissue stowed in my bag to use. In the grocery store, the most overwhelming shock was the stench. The entire back of the store is basically a butcher shop. Surprisingly, there were no flies or anything. But, the smell was gross. Danae held her nose while we looked around in there. I wasn't bold enough to purchase any meat yet. One day, maybe. Or, we'll just become vegetarians while we're here. In the cl
