Life is unexspected

Life has been busy to say the lest. A few weeks ago we woke up to a phone call from the police. They were calling to ask us to come and take my brother in law's 2 kids as the parents were being arrested. Of coarse we went got the kids and we had temporary custody of the kids (one 2 year old and one 1 year old) for a little over 2 weeks. The kids are now with the other side of the family for 8 weeks and then hopefully back home. While we had 2 extra kids in the house my dad went into the hospital for a pain in his head. (I still do not fully understand what it was all about) Today was my last day of teaching for the summer and my mom just went to the hospital with an array of problems in which I hope they have answers for tomorrow. The hubby still is unemployed and starts EMT training Sat. morning. I think that sums it up for now, I will keep you all posted.

My Fireman

He past!!!! My hubby is officially a fireman!!!! Now he just has to get a job and start EMT training (it is a requirement to be a full time fireman in Texas). Until he is finished with EMT training he can work what they consider part time (12 hours a shift instead of 24) and he can work for more than one department or keep up side jobs to make up income. We are on the home stretch.

Fun day at the splash park

State Test

Ok hubby took the state test yesterday. We will not know the results for a few days but he pasted the physical stuff.

A/C and kids update - The A/C seems to be fixed!!! The little man is feeling better and the cough so gone so hopfully that means no asthsma. My car is still not fixed but atleast 2 out of three is good.

Hubby has past the academy test!!!!

They say the state test is easier so ,we are excited. Tuesday is the state test and then he is officially a fireman!!!!!

Little one sick and car trouble

As if my life was not complicated enough. The little man has been coughing his head off and his chest sounds like a marble in a tin can. I took him to the Dr. and she said he either has really bad bronchitis or asthma, in few weeks if he still has night coughing or tightness in his chest then it is asthma. Then on top of that my car has been in the shop for the past week. When I (and father in law) went to pick it up they told us oh by the way while it was here the water pump went out on it. So they tell us just keep putting water in it every day and no highway driving untill we can afford to fix it. Can we all say - Trade in time. Oh and on top of all of that we have no A/C in the house. Our land lord has been so wonderful and let us pay rent as we can (even miss a month if we can not pay) but because of this she now does not know if she will have the money to replace the system which is what is needed. Ok now that have ranted for a while I feel little better. At least we have a roof over our head and food on the table and family that loves us. We are very blessed just sometimes it is hard to remember how blessed when you feel overwhelmed with the world around you.

Fireman Tests

Ok school is over and now all he has to do is take two tests - one for the academy and one for the state of Texas. He is going to take the school test the 6th of June and the state test the 9th of June. He had applied at two fire departments but we have not heard anything yet. The plan is once he passes both tests to apply at every fire department within a 30 min drive radius. So keep the hubby in your prayers as his is nervous about the testes and that he will have a job very soon.
