Today was a long day. There was an emergency call over the radio. It puts a pause on things. It feels as though life comes to a pause. You don’t know what to do or how to back them up but you want to. You need to.
You see I am not even a real cop yet. I’m only Cat 3 and work in the jail..But I’m trying my best to learn. I feel my heart is there. Actually, I know it is. I just have to overcome the obstacles at hand.
We are raising 8 kids, my husband and I. To say the least it is so freaking hard! We have dance, speech and debate, soccer and t ball to add into the schedule of working in law enforcement and an awkward hours of welding. How do we juggle our schedule, work schedules and our sanity from our work and have a steady home and life…?
This is my first blog in 10 years. I crave the raw and beauty in people and I can only give that in return. I want to give that because, personally, that’s my therapy.
Tonight, I got home, still concerned that my brothers and sisters are laying down tonight going over every detail and wondering, “have I could have done my job better?”
I can’t wait to be apart of protecting our community. I pray for them and can’t wait to do the jobs they do. They came home so late to tuck their babies into bed…to be there when their youngest is having bad dreams and just needs to cuddle…
For our community and our 8’s safety in life. I look forward to doing what it takes.
No matter what place my life is thus far, I will always be the best Mom I can and my job is to only help in the effort to create a safe community for our kids and protect our own.
I’m just thankful to cuddle our babies tonight and acknowledge that anything can change that at any moment.
