Team Woodard: First Day Back!

First Day Back!

Today was my first day back at school and can I say that I am EXHAUSTED! My children were ALL very well behaved but 5:30 came really early this morning. Now don't get me wrong, I did NOT sleep past 6:00/6:30 my whole spring break because sweet angel does NOT like sleep! :) But, this morning I had to get up and get ready quickly and get Trigger packed to leave for Izzy's house. BTW, Izzy didn't even end up keeping him today because my grandmother got admitted to the hospital this morning and Liz was there with her. I'm telling you, I do NOT know how mommies of 2 or more children work outside the home. BELIEVE me, I know that being a SAHM is not an easy job. But, it's definitely nice NOT to have to get up and get everyone somewhere and ON TIME...which I am NEVER, EVER on time.
I really need to be going to sleep...and I will in just a moment. Matt is back at work. He came home for supper and a little cleaning and a quick kiss from me and Trigger AND back to work. I was sadly disapppointed today because I'm sitting here thinking..."April 15th...April 15th...we can make it...only 10 more days"! I WAS WRONG! Matt told me that they are still very, very busy until May 15th...WHAT? Oh well...I do have to say that Matt has done an excellent job taking time to come home and spend time with me and Trigger!
On another note, I have to say that I really, really, really need to STOP reading blogs. All they do is worry me and make me COMPLETELY sad! I have several blogs that I follow that are awesome people. Really makes me think that I need to become a more positive person (ha...after reading this entry, you are probably agreeing...but it's late, people!) and I really need to look at what God is trying to teach me during difficult and frustrating moments. If you know me, you know that I can get frustrated and aggravated easily which is funny because I am very patient with children! Anyway, so I am really going to work on it!
Enough chit-chat...I am going to try to upload some photos...we'll see...does it take anyone else FOREVER to upload photos to your blog?

The Woodards

My name is Garson Woodard. I'm a wife to Matt. He is the most incredible husband a girl could ask for. We met in Kindergarten at Cedar Creek (the school we attended for 13 years). Matt and I started dating our Jr. year in high school and dated for 6 years. We got married on June 26, 2004. I am so thankful that God brought us together! I am a mother to Trigger, Campbell, and Larkin. We worked hard to have all of them. After 2 miscarriages, two years after trying to get pregnant, a 2 week hospital stay, and a short (didn't seem short at the time) NICU stay, we brought home our first precious miracle: Trigger! He was born on July 29, 2008. Trigger's completely spoiled rotten! He is full of personality and definitely shows some of the same tenacity that his namesake had!

With our second child, Campbell, we made it to 38 weeks. He was born on June 3, 2010. He still had to stay in the NICU for 5 days for breathing issues. Campbell is absolutely precious..shy but such a little clown. I can't wait to watch our two boys which are 22 months apart) grow up together. I know they are going to fight constantly but be BEST of friends at the same time!

I just thought my boys were our miracles...and they are...but, at the end of May 2011, Matt and I found out that we were expecting the biggest surprise of our life. We were having baby #3 after being told we could never get pregnant on our own. AND, to add to the excitement, we were having a GIRL. After dealing with my medical issues, a two vessel cord, and IUGR, Larkin was born on January 6, 2012. She came here ruling the roost and I am sure that is not going to change anytime soon.

After what seemed like forever thinking that I would not have any children, God has blessed me with three beautiful babies all within 3.5 years.

After having Campbell, Matt and I decided I would become a stay-at-home mom. In alot of ways it is more difficult than teaching because I am with OUR children all day...and OUR children don't seem to listen like my students would. HOW DOES THAT WORK? Haha! Seriously though, it is the BEST job in the world and I feel very blessed to be able to be home to witness each and every minute of our boys' lives!

I started this blog when we found out we were pregnant with Trigger and have continued to document our crazy lives with a toddler and a baby since I don't have time to scrapbook anymore. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again!
