A great marriage experience

Now while I am a good mother, I also strive to be a good wife. I have been a wife again for all of 2+ months. I think I am doing a good job and this weekend helped. We were invited to spend this past weekend in Myrtle Beach for Strong Bonds weekend and I have to thank the South Carolina Army National Guard for providing this opportunity. I believe both my husband and I learned alot. The speakers were very informative and they should this great video of a seminar from Mark Gungor title "Laugh your way to a better marriage" and while I am not a big believer of organized religion and being preached to I have to say this preacher knew what he was talking about. Like the title says you will laugh until tears come out of your eyes. He was very honest and a lot of what he said made alot of sense. So women, when men stare blankly at the TV screen or say that they are thinking about "nothing", they really are. So I am telling everyone I know that is married to check his video series out. You will enjoy it.

Learn something new all the time

I am the first to admit that I do not know everything about being a mom. I learn just like everyone else. With this in mind, I learned something this morning that was a big help and wanted to share.

My youngest has had a severe diaper rash the last couple of days due to the 1st year molar coming in. I don't understand how a tooth coming in causes diarrhea but it does.

After using Desitin that last couple days, my mom suggested letting him sleep without a diaper last night. With that in mind, I did not want to get Desitin spread all over the towel he would sleep on; I was afraid he would get this in his mouth since he moves around in his sleep. So I put Aveeno lotion on his behind last night before putting his diaper on while he played before bedtime.

Of course, we forgot to take the diaper off last night.

But this morning when we changed him, the diaper rash was drastically reduced! I was amazed that it worked better than the Desitin.

It is great to learn something new.

Battle of the driving test

Today was an interesting day at work. While I did get alot accomplished, we had a great time with the Battle of the driving test.

What was this you ask?

One of my co-workers emailed a driving test he found online and that started the battle.

As it was passed around, everyone was determined to earn a higher score than the person before.

What did I score? A 90. So I guess it is safe for me to be on the road.
