Way behind

I'm sorry (if anyone cares) that I haven't kept up my blog better.

Not much been going on at the Chappells. I'm still a Stay-At-Home Mom/Wife and enjoying it. I am going to try to go back to school to get retrained in another field which is going to be Pharmacy Tech I hope. Hopefully, if I pass the test, the Workforce Development Center will be helping me (State) will be paying for the schooling. I'm scared to death. I haven't done this kind of math in over 20 years, if that. This staying at home Mom is looking better each day. Randal DOES want me to stay at home and find something I can do from home. If this doesn't work out, I will just do that until Caylee-Grace gets in school. I've really enjoyed spending everyday with my baby girl and the extra time I get to spend with my hubby. Please pray that I make the right decisions and it will all work out for the best.

Last Thursday, I had a scare, Caylee-Grace got a hold of my pill container and I thought she took a pill so off to the ER we went for 6 hours - luckily she didn't. I thought I saw a pink pill in her mouth and when I tried to get it out, it wasn't there anymore so I panicked and thought she swallowed it. It was a multi-vitamin of mine. I called Poison Control and since I couldn't tell them exactly what type of pill it was, they told me to head to the ER. They took some urine and then after 4 hours they took blood. Thank the Lord everything came back fine and she was acting herself so I knew she didn't take it but I wanted to be safe then sorry. I asked her if she swallowed a pill and she said she - yeah go figure they say anything. She was so ready to get out of that hospital. I thank God everything was ok. Time to make sure that EVERYTHING is put up and locked up.

A few weeks ago, Candace and I took the Caylee-Grace and Asa to the Mickey Mouse Magic Show at the BJCC. They really enjoyed it. I couldn't get any pictures because they wouldn't allow it. I couldn't even get a picture of the kids together because CG was acting up.

Here are some pictures of my friend Deb and her daughter when they came in. It was Sydneys' birthday so we went to a Mexican restaurant to eat. I hate that I don't get to see Deb more since she moved near Dothan.































































On a sad note, I am sadden that Caylee-Grace's bff has moved away. I will sure miss Teale and her family. Caylee-Grace will definitely miss Harper. Teale and I have become close since we went through pregnancies together and with the kids playing together. I'm going to miss not getting together with her and Harper. I'm seeing a road trip in our future to Little Rock. We had a fellowship meal in honor of them at church. Can't ever seem to get a picture of Harper smiling but this was Harper and Caylee-Grace in their class at church for the last time.





Here is a picture of all the little ones

Me and Teale





Well another good thing, I have gotten off my depression medicine and that meant I got off my blood pressure medicine too since that was what was making my blood pressure go up. That is two less expenses we will have. I'm hoping with exercise and rest, I can stay off of it. Speaking of exercising, I was doing great on my diet until I lost my job and I guess I started that emotional eating and gained it all back plus some. I have started working out on my Wii with Gold Gyms Dancing Workout and love it. I'm back on my no sugar diet and limiting my bread intake. I've learned that is the only way I can drop the pounds. I'm hoping all that dancing will slim my hips and thighs. We will see how it goes. I have to lose at least 15 pounds before July when I go back to the doctor. He hounds me about my weight all the time.
