Tired of It.......Ok guys, I have just had it with MSN. What use to take me 30 minutes to an hour is taking me up to 4 hours. I am tired of my of getting locked out of my space. I am tired of my computer freezing. MSN can say whatever they want, but I know it's them.
I am not going to completely shut my page down. I will leave it here so if anybody wants to comment they can. I will also leave my email address so anybody can email me if they want.
It was fun and I had a great time meeting you all. I will miss you guys immensely. :) It's possible that one day I will come back, but right now it just doesn't look that way.
My email is DevilMoma@gmail.com
Well, this is Devil Moma signing off...... Military Wife's TurnMilitary Wife's Turn.... You probably didn't realize who was sitting next to you. You rattled on about how silly this anti-terrorist war is, and that it's just a political ploy. You complained about America being the world's police. You said you'd never let your son run off to fight, and you'd throw a fit if they just sent your husband off. At that point, I almost turned around and told you who I am. I am a military spouse. Life in the military has never been easy. It means low pay with no overtime, watching your husband go to work with a fever because the doctor didn't deem him sick enough for the day off. It means years of rules and protocol that wear on you like a dripping faucet late at night. Don't even get me going on the weekly inspection of our yards. We live with Terms like "Exercise" which means 12-18 hr hour shifts. And "TDY," which means your spouse is gone for up to 180 days. And "Remotes," which means your spouse is gone for longer than 180 days. And finally, "PCS," which means your whole family is going on this ride. Don't get me wrong, whining is not my intent here. While the road we've been down in the military hasn't always been paved; it's been a good life. My kids know you don't wait to make friends because you never know how long they'll be here. We know how precious good friends are even when miles separate us. We go to live in other countries where the locals despise us. It wasn't always in vogue to be patriotic. Sept. 11 helped turn that tide, but flags are fading around here again. There have been too many times I have needed him here. Forget the running of the home fort-there are kisses and hugs that should be taking place. I lie in bed and try to recall what his breathing sounds like next to me- or I hear the door open and try to envision him walking in from work. What I would give to hear his clear voice without telephone static and worrying about how much the phone call will cost us. Then the deep fear - what if this separation becomes permanent? Distance is a horrible thief of what is precious, because it only reminds us of how precious it is. You kept on talking for a while. I then realized I was picking up your tab. You could sit there freely and give your opinion because of the military families like ours. We are paying the price for your freedom. I've heard it said that soldiers of the past, present and future pay for the flag. Nah, we're the threads it's woven with. No SleepI was laying in bed trying to go to sleep, ut it seems once again sleep has evaded me.
I have less than three months to go before my hubby returns. You know the first 9 months really wasn't so bad. It went by way fast. Then we hit this point of being over the half way mark but not to the finish line yet. Time is dragging by so slowly. I feel like a little kid who is waiting for their birthday to hurry up and get here except it seems to never come.
I was watching on the news this evening that the pentagon has decided to hold over the 172nd indefinatly. They were slated to be returning home any time. 200 of their unit has already returned, but the rest of them got the big green weanie. Rummy said bend over and for your unpleasure it's coming with no lube! I can only imagine how those guys and spouses feel. What a horrible thing to do to guys who have been away from their families for a year.
Rummy said 3500 more troops have to go into Baghdad. Guess what that means..........instead of deploying less and less like Bush and Rummy promised they are deploying more and they are also breaking their promise of no more than a year deployment at a time promise. At some point that country has to stand on it's own. We have done everything we have promised them and it's time for us to start packing up and going home. I can't wait to get a new president. I hate Hillary but I am starting to think even she would be better than good ole GW. We need some real leadership in this country. We need to get rid of the nutjobs.
Those guys from the 172nd, their morale is going to fly right out the window. Rummy was on tv saying well they are professionals and the spouses will have to suck it up. I have a word for him..............!!!! I remember why I don't like him either now.
This leads me to my next logical assumption; I wonder if Bub will get held over in Iraq? I can already see where this is going. It always starts with one promise broken. I am not even playing if my husband misses two Christmases in a row because of some retarded war........well I don't think I have to explain. I think y'all will be able to imagine what I think about that.
All I want is for my hubby to come back. I am tired of laying in the bed wondering what he's doing and if he's safe. I am tired of not getting to see him everyday. I am tired of not getting to talk to him everyday. If I am lucky I get to talk to him once a week. I am tired of celebrating all holidays alone. I am tired of being a single parent. You would think with all those I'm tireds I would be alseep by now
 I just want my husband to get home. Right now 3 months seems like an eternity. I know I am already thru the long hall, but 90 days after he gets back he is fair game again. *sighs* For all of y'all wondering, I didn't pick this or choose it for my lifestyle. I hate not being able to plan very far in advance. I think I would trade just about anything to be like a normal family. Have a normal job, a normal lifestyle, live in my own house with a white picket fence and porch. I don't get that luxery though. We move too often. I guess on the bright side I can say at least I get to live in some pretty awesome places even though I end up seeing and enjoying them alone since the military always beckons and comes first.
Ok ok I will change gears and get off my perceived pity party. Tonight I had an FRG meeting. I made all that food and hardly anybody ate it so I wound up taking a lot of it back home. I begged people to take it home. It turned out to be fruitless. So now I am back in the place that I started from.
We have a date, but we aren't allowed to tell the spouses the date. If you ask me that is pretty freaking jacked up. I can understand where they are coming from being as they don't want the spouses to get their hopes up, but at the same time I just don't see how it's right to keep it from them. I mean dear god, they aren't little kids. I think if you just flat out tell them it's subject to change then it should be ok. We all know it and we have known it for sometime and even one of the SNCO's was trying to play off the date to me. I was like hello.........I already know about said date I was there with Capt F talking about it when you were...... DOIH!
Next month we are going to get the ladies from finance in to talk about the major pay cut they are about to take and how they need to readjust to it. I am not looking forward to the pay cut. But then again a very short time after Bub returns he is fair game and could receive orders again. I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying that does not happen. I really want him home with me for a while. Three months does not qualify as a while in this case.
Anyways, I guess I am going to try to go back to bed and see if I can get to sleep. If not, I guess it will be another long lonely night..........

And Then....So I have just decided to walk away. I am not going to worry about any of that anymore. I feel like I have done my duty and I have tried, but I don't feel obligated to try anymore. I have decided that I can find my kids surrogate grandparents. I know they are a ton of elderly people in this world with nothing to do. They need relationships just like everybody else. I am thinking of going to the Veteran's Center. I have decided even if I don't really gain anything out of it, I will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that somebody went to visit with them and they weren't alone.
My parents have always tried to make it my responsibility to come to them. I have news for them; that road goes both ways. I really don't care what their excuses are anymore. You guys are right. I need to live my life. Living life is when you have lost all fear. I am not going to be like my mom. I wish she would grow a backbone and put her foot down or say get out. But I am quite sure that will never happen. So in the meantime, I am glad I avoided another close call.
My mom for some unknown reason actually thought this would work....... She said well dad was talking about flying out to see you (in other words just him) I said um no you can forget that. I said I just can't handle that. So wooo hoooo for me :) I spoke my mind without causing a fight. I should get brownie points for that......=))
I have decided I am really glad I live so far away. I may not particularly like the culture around here, but I do have my own little world going on. Since there isn't a lot to do, we make fun stuff up as we go. I think today I am going to call a girlfriend of mine and see if she wants to go to the waterpark with me. I love swimming so it should be a great stress relief. And I know for a fact it will wear my kids out. *big grinz*
Ok well, I need to get going. I have some phone calls to make and a trip to the online bookstore.
Today is a beautiful day and I should enjoy it.

MF SOB!!!!!My mom called me yesterday. She was talking about something at this moment evades me. As the convo went on my mom was talking about something my dad had done. Then for whatever reason she decided to drop it on me my dad has a friend who is my age and he has "adopted" her as his daughter. She even went so far as to tell me he tells other people she is his daughter. Then my mom said well you know it's because you don't have a relationship with him...... Ok and whose fault is that? And why are you trying to tell me like I am to blame for it?!!!
Please tell me why she would even say something like that on the eve of their trip? Is she trying to stir the pot? Does she want to see us fight?
I have to say, after my mom said that to me I said well I am glad he can be a father to somebody. I said it as sweetly as I could in my southern accent. I swear I am the goddess of masks. I really should get into playing poker.... I was not about to falter on that one and let her know she had gotten to me.
So in the meantime I am left wondering why it is he does not value me enough to try to make ammends. I suppose it's just much easier to befriend a new person and not have to answer for his mistakes.
After I thought about it, I decided I've had enough and I just couldn't deal with them being here right now. So I call them and I hear a strangly familar noise in the background. I said what are you doing. Oh nothing just sitting around. I said what's that noise.....(by now I knew what that noise was) I don't know I don't hear a noise. I said it sounds like you are at the beach. I don't know why you would say that.... I said you are at the beach aren't you......Since my mom doesn't ever tell lies she said yes. I said how long are you planning on staying there........we don't know yet. What do you mean you don't know? Aren't you suppose to be coming in today? Well, we changed our minds. I said really when? And when were you planning on telling me? We hadn't decided yet. I said so in other words that means you were not even planning on telling me you decided not to come. I didn't say all that.....I said umm yea you just did. Then I said thanks a lot it would have been nice to know so I wouldn't have gone and bought all these extra groceries that will probably go bad before I can use them all and thanks for putting the stress on me at all of you coming out here. That was extremely nice and considerate of you! Then she said well I just don't know why you are so upset. Boy she better be glad she was on the phone and not in person because I am sure I would have reached out and touched her!!!!
Ok let's see why would I be upset? First of all, you idiots stressed me out by even saying you were coming here which in essence traps me in my own territory with no escape. Second of all, I spent part of my vacation money to prepare for you to come out here. Third of all, how about that is just down right rude to invite yourselves to my home then not even have the courtsey to friggin show up! Oh and not even tell anybody you changed your mind either!!!
Somewhere in there I asked why it was they changed their minds. I was told because we didn't have the money. I said well you sure did have the money to go to the beach and pay for a nice motel and stay there since Sunday too.
I am so pissed I can't even begin to explain it. See this is the kind of bull shitee I put up with. I could never imagine doing that not to anybody unless something extremely urgent happened that I absolutely had to take care of. Changing your mind and having the money for the beach do not qualify as urgent or even important!
I actually can't even say half the things I want to say on here. I know the space police are lurking in the shadows. All I can say is I am PISSED!!!!! What normal people do that kind of crap?
They told me before that my dad had a paper due on Thursday (he's in graduate school) and they mite not be able to come if it wasn't done. I said well that's ok it's not like I don't have a computer here. So then they say yea I can always email it in. So they say ok we are coming in Tues. until of course I caught them at the beach which really shouldn't matter except they had said we are coming. So as I am thinking on this now instead of doing his paper he chose to do all this other stuff (yes there is other stuff I left out just because I didn't want to bore y'all with their life) instead of coming here. He hasn't seen his grandkids in 3 years. One of them he has not seen at all. So of course I am quite use to his little bs games however my kids are not. I know one thing......my kids are not going to be hurt by them. I can guarantee it with my life.
So for all my pshychologist wanna-be(s) it's time to come throw your two cents in. How should I handle this? My first re-action is just to not talk to them ever again, but then again I am pissed. I have found when I extremely angry like this I cannot make clear minded decisons. Hence comes the call for advice.....

The Black HoleSo I have been deeply thinking. How does one overcome the wounds of the past? Do they ever really heal?
I laid in bed last night tossing and turning and to no avail sleep distinctively evaded me. Why is it that when your body is suppose to be resting your mind takes over and will not lull itself? Why is it that the things that haunt one always comes for them when it's time to restore and rejuevenate? No matter how hard I tried my mind would not be hushed. I felt like I was in the middle of a battle one side screaming at me the other side softly whispering come over here.
Why is it people never truly think about how they make others feel? I once heard a saying that goes like this..... I may forget what you look like or the things you said, but I will never forget the way you made me feel.
That can go both ways. That can be a father telling his daughter if she lost weight maybe she would get a date, or that could be a mother telling her son how proud of him she is.
Why is it words can be so painful when you can't even see them? Words can send your spirit into the depths of dispair or make you completely elated.
What is it exactly that cause words to do this to a person? How can something invisible be so effective and sometimes destructive?
I have come to the conclusion some wounds never heal. Not even with the passage of time. Just like when I lost my best friend. I still haven't gotten over it. Even now thinking of her makes my eyes well up and my heart sad. People say I should rejoice in the time I had, but I look at it and say it wasn't right. She was the closest thing to a sister I have ever had and in an instance she was gone just like that. No warnings, no time to say good byes. In the blink of an eye, she was gone.
I revisit the horrors of childhood and think why?! People tell me that all behaviors are learned. I think how can anybody be so cruel and full of hate and despise? And yet I find myself in the same boat: full of hate and despise. So the cycle has never really been broken. Then I wonder if I am going to unwillingly pass the cycle to my children or will I be able to break these chains that hold my spirit prisoner?
When will I be able to lay my armour down? My old spirit tells me never. My youth wishes for a glimmer of hope. I want to believe, but how can I when I have experienced the evils of the world first hand?
I think to myself maybe I took the wrong turn in my life when I signed on the dotted line and signed my youth and ignorance away. By all accounts, I have accomplished much. I was the one who made it out and went on to do great things with my life. The problem is I have dedicated my life to helping people. I am torn between helping people and the path my life took unwillingly. When I was young and dumb and innocent there was no war just a promise to finish paying for college. I have fought my whole life to be different and swim against the flow. I have always known I was different. I have always known I would do great things no matter what anybody said to me.
I was on the right path to fullfilling my destiny until I signed my life away. It seems unknowingly I made a deal with the devil himself and what did I walk away with? Money for college and a small disability compensation. If I had only known what I was walking into.... If only I could have forseen the future..... It was not worth it. I feel no honor for the things I know I have done or the things I have bore witness to. My creed of life is suppose to be honor, courage, and commitment. I have failed my creed of life. I have failed myself and my fellow man.
I am like a shattered mirror trying to place all the pieces back together. No matter how hard I try they just won't all fit back together ever again. Part of me has died. It's just a wishful thought now like a distant dream of what could have been, but will never be. The result, I am immortally scared physically and mentally.
I think to myself with a bitter laugh and say no, money for college was not worth it. I sold my soul to the devil for a little damn money. It was well intentioned and ignorant, but none the less I did not walk away unscathed. I have paid a high price for it and will continue to pay it for the rest of my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My head turns left then right
My jaw tenses, my tongue I bite
My eyes turn cold and dark
It was no walk in the park
Anger fills my soul
There is no peaceful lull
I see a black hole
It has no end or goal
slowly it steals their soul Life is full of trials and is trival,
It's so pivotal
It spins downward and out of control
There is no hope in this black hole I see the blackness in their eyes
Slowly it's stealing their soul It takes all their dreams and goals They only live for their next hit
And it drives them further into the black pit They have no rhyme or reason
To them it's just another of life's seasons Soon the black hole
It will steal all of their soul They will draw me into this black hole
Soon I will have no rhyme or goal
And slowly it will steal all of my soul

Oh No!!!!Oh wow my stress level shot up to about unbearable. My mom called me yesterday and she was talking and then right before I was hanging up she said "Oh btw, your dad and I are coming out this week" I said what?!!!! She said yea we took the time off work and we will be there Tuesday. I very calmly said ok and said I have to get going again. I hung up the phone and nearly had a heart attack!
I talked to my mom recently and asked why she wouldn't ever come out. I guess she sort of listened, but missed one key part..........when did I EVER mention anything about my dad coming out? You guys by the end of the week I am going to be a nervous wreck. Oh my!! Did I mention I have the worst possible headache now?
I keep telling myself to relax it couldn't possibly be that bad, but that little voice in the back of my mind is saying something completely different. I have a really bad feeling about this. I know as soon as my dad gets here is going to start in on me. I know he is going to start in on me about being fat because every female should have no more than 21 percent body fat.... Of course it won't matter I had to take steroids and it blew me up a good thirty lbs. Then he is probably going to start in on me about why I changed my hair color and how awful it looks. Then he will probably start in on me about how I raise my kids. Then the clothes I wear..........
Right about now I am really wishing Bub was here. It would make it so much more bearable. If it were just my mom it would be ok. She never critizes me and I have the liberty to tell her if I don't like something without having to worry about her going nuts on me. Overall my mom is pretty nice. I mean she does stuff I don't like, but she is ok most of the time. My dad the thought of him coming here has me cringing thinking OH NO!!! What have I done....... I am secretly glad I have a few appointments to go to this week. Like going to the doctor, a place I really have no use for, but seems bearable in lieu of upcoming events. I know one thing I can do to keep my dad off my back. I will point him to the nearest gym. It's on base and it's free!
If you guys have any stress relief tips, now would be a good time to drop them on me. So with that said I am off to clean the house and ensure it's spotless.

Huh...........For you guys who have been reading me a while know there is one thing in this world I hate more than anything else: STUPID PEOPLE!!
You guys remember not long ago I wrote about my a/c going out. Tell me why those idiots sent me the bill even though I already told them it didn't go to me..... I guess that lady thought I was just kidding. How hard is it to just open your little ears up and hear what I said...........*sighs*
I had my first creditor call me today. You know I really hate those people. You guys remember me telling y'all about my personal info being stolen due to the VA's incompetence? I put a fraud alert on my credit and everything and declared the certain things that weren't mine. Dude called me tonite and started yelling at me about paying. I said why am I going to pay something that isn't mine? Then he proceeded to tell me it was mine I was a liar and so forth. I just started laughing at him and said I think you need to get a real job and stop harassing innocent people. Then he got really mad at me for saying "harrass" I said ok you keep yelling and carry on, but I am not listening anymore and hung up on him. You know, if it was really my bill I may have put up with some of his antics. After all, it would have been my fault for not paying.
You know I think I am really done being nice. I am getting really tired of mean stupid people trying to push their meaness on me.
Then I had to go to Wal-Mart. I picked up the wrong kind of laundry detergent. I got the kind with bleach in it. Ooops!!! My clothes weren't black anymore. I had to go get clothes dye. I want y'all to know that stuff is super messy. I think my washing machine is permantly black now................
 On my way back, I almost ran this dude over. Man ole man he pissed me off!! What's the first thing y'all think when you see a car swerving all over the road? Yea that's what I think too! Even the people behind me had slowed way down. I got the big idea to take a short cut and cut him off. He was still a good 200 yards behind me when I pulled out in front of him. So you know what he did? He sped up to get right on my butt. Then he thought he was going to pass me on a double yellow line.
I am telling y'all I had a good mind to run him over. He was driving on the wrong side of the street with a big truck coming. How stupid is that and for what? Because I went around him? (except I did it legally) The dude in the truck was honking his horn and he was not slowing down. I should have ran the same speed as the dude in the other car. If I wouldn't have had my kids in the car I would have. He would have either gotten ran over or ran off the road.
The whole reason why I went around him in the first place was because I had my kids in the car. If I had my phone I would have reported his dumb butt. Of course, I forgot it to the house because I was charging it. That would be my luck, huh? The one time I would get to report a stupid person......I forget my phone.
 The moral of the story is don't be stupid and don't wash your black clothes with bleach......

Nothing MuchWell, I finally got everything cleaned up from having the horrid guest over. *SIGHS* I shoulda hired a maid and sent her the bill............=)) I did a lot of work.
I think I heard somewhere that if water gets into your home it will cause mold. I am curious to know under what conditions does mold grow. I have the general idea, but no specifics. Maybe I should google for it............
This triple digit weather is killing my poor a/c unit. I don't think it helps matters any that my roof is black. I need to come up with some type of scheme to get the roof damaged.........=)) This way I can get a new non-black roof. Well, besides it being illegal it was a good thought. =))
The more I deal with Army hospital the more I loathe it. I had an mri done recently. Tell me why they tell me first the results will be back in two days. So I go and what happens? No mri results. They say come back in a week and we'll have them. I said ok. I go and guess what? Still no mri results. They tell this time come back at the end of next week. I am sitting here thinking yea I am sure y'all will.
In the first place, I really hate military doctors. They aren't real doctors. Some of them don't even have a 4 year degree. Let alone made it through actual medical school. I have a problem with so called doctors who don't actually have a medical lisence. Just because they might have read a book or two here and there does not qualify them to be telling me exactly what's wrong. How can they really know? They haven't been through medical school!
I had been weeks without any kind of pain meds even though I was in serious pain. Do you think the "doctors" gave me anything? Of course not! Then when I went in for my appointment I get this big long lecture about this particular kind of surgery. I was like hold up......I didn't say anything about surgery! All I said was the IB candy they love to pass out did absolutely nothing for me. Then all of a sudden he says do you need something stronger? I was like hmmmm........He said how about some vicadin. I said no I hate that stuff how about something else. I walked out of there with oxycotin and something called mobic. Dude those have got to be the best meds I have ever had in my life. Even better than when I had oral surgery and the meds they gave me during labor and afterwards. I have no complaints whatsoever. At least, I am not hurting and that's what matters to me.
I am aware of the dangers oxycotin poses. I have seen far too many people get addicted to it. I had a very good friend of mine get dishonorably discharged out of the Marine Corps for becoming addicted to them. He had an actual legit medical problem which called for the use of the drug, but he took it a step further. It ruined his career and sent him to the brig for quite a while. He had a very young child and wife who depended on him. It was a very sad story. I am going to be extremely catious with this drug.
Anyways, for those of you wondering this is why I haven't been blogging or commenting as I should. When I wasn't busy fixing the mess I was busy laying on the couch feeling pretty good.
So with that said, I will be around probably in segments. I hope y'all will continue to bare with me as I go through the whole "drug" ordeal. =)

Excuse the Rant.........Holy Hannah!!!!! Grrrrrr! You guys I had the worst company I have EVER had in my life!!!!
An aquaintance calls me yesterday and says what are you doing can we come over? I said yea I guess so. In the first place, my momma always told me it is rude to invite yourself over and now that I think about it, it should have been a red flag to me. So this aquaintance invites herself over. I tell her be here at a certain time so we can eat. She says ok. Tell me why an hour and a half after she was suppose to be here she shows up? Oh I was pissed, but not nearly half as pissed as I was going to be by the time the night was over.
So she gets here and I was seriously contemplating not answering the door, but I did. My mistake.
She and her children come in and oh my lord those kids are something else. You guys, I have never wanted to smack kids, but oh man I wanted to smack those kids so bad. I have never seen such unruly, unbehaved children in my life. They were horrible!!!
First of all, what kind of parent must you be if your 5 yr old son weighs over 150 lbs? That is no lie. And yes he is only five. Ok so this child is seriously limited on things he can and can not do. We went to the store because she didn't like the type of mayo I had, and because she has to eat dessert after every meal and she didn't like what I had. I just said fine whatever.... Anyways, so she gets one of those buggys that has the car down in front of the basket. Ok she had been telling him and telling him to not get into it stay off of it and so forth. So he goes and yanks my daughter out of it (which I saw but I just told her to come over with me) and he got in it. Guess what happened? You got it he was stuck like chuck. They had to cut the car to get him out.
So almost 3 hours later, we finally get back to my house. What should have taken maybe 20 minutes took 3 hours and on top of that she was already almost two hours late getting to my house in the first place. So now we are talking almost 5 hours behind so now it's closer to 8 o'clock.
Ok so when we get back her kids pull out bathing suits. I was like nice...... You could have at least told me this was why you wanted to come over! Every five minutes before and after we ate they said we want to get wet.... I told them you can't play in the water until after you eat and it settles in your stomach.So they go to playing in the backyard which was fine except several things...........
First of all, I now have several holes in my grass due to those kids digging holes everywhere. Ok I can deal with holes. I will simply go buy some soil and some grass seed no big. So then I have a swing back there on the patio. The boy tore the fabric completely thru my swing. Ok fine I can deal with a broken swing. Am I pissed by this point? YES! Then he decides it will be funny to hit my oldest daughter in the face with the swing. Blood comes ghushing out of her nose. Awesome right? Then even after I saw him do it I asked him why he did it and he said I didn't she did it to herself. How friggin stupid do I look? I told him don't lie to me, I saw you do it.
So you want to know what the momma is doing the whole time? Sitting on my couch drinking one of many beers. She was basically letting me discipline her kids. How awesome is that? I don't even really know this woman and she is letting me discipline them. Mind you the whole time I was extremely uncomfortable with the aspect of doing this. They aren't my kids.
So then I catch her son on my daughter's bike, which he is obviously too big for. I tell him get off it. I turn around he's back on it. I tell him again get off it. Then I see Madison out there trying to ride her little bike except one problem............it has no front wheel. So now he has managed to destroy the buggy at the store, my 250$ swing and now my child's bike which was around 100 bucks. I just had to walk away. I said I am going outside I will be back.
She didn't even offer to pay for any of the damages caused by her son.
So now on to her daughter. That girl had the worst mouth on her ever for a three year old. She back talks, interupts, throws unruly tantrums, bites, pinches, hits, and kicks. Isn't she a little old for that? She is going to turn 4 in Sept. Have any of y'all ever seen a 4 yr old that still bites?
That little girl back talked me, and I looked at her in and in my meanest mommy voice said you do not speak to an adult like that and you will not take that tone with me. So she starts behaving. Then I catch her over by my computer. I tell her get away from there. She says you can't tell me what do!! I said I just did now get away from my computer. So she comes up to me and decides she is going to try to bite me. Without even thinking, I pushed a pressure point on her cheek. I didn't mean to do that, it was just instinct. Anyways, it didn't hurt her that bad. It more so shocked her and then she began to cry. I looked at her and said next time I suggest you don't try to bite me. That behavior is not tolerated in my house. Where was the mom? Sitting on my couch drinking more beer. Didn't even get up thru the whole ordeal.
So for the rest of the night, the little girl minded me. However, she still treated her mother like she tried to treat me.
For the life of me, I do not understand why in the world the mother would let her children act this way. I have two lines of thought with this situation: She is either oblivious to how unbehaved her children are, or she doesn't care. I honestly don't know which it was. Part of me thinks how could she possibly care when she doesn't know me that well and she is basically making me discipline her kids? The other part of me thinks, well I saw how she seemed so oblivious in the store. People were staring at her because of the way her children were acting. She let her kids run off from her and didn't even seem to really care or notice. Then as we were getting ready to leave the store, after she bought her lottery tickets mind you, then she said OHHH where are my kids? I said oh my god......
So finally 11:30 rolls around and she is still here and her kids are begging to go home. My house was destroyed. I have some serious cleaning to do today. She is still sitting on the couch saying we'll go in a minute. I said your kids are pretty tired and you should get them home to bed. She said oh they will be fine besides they can always pass out on the floor. I said I am pretty tired myself. My kids will be up by 8 so I really need to get to bed myself. She said oh well we can just spend the night. I said not tonight. I have plans for tomarrow.(I really don't have plans, I just didn't want her here any longer) She said ok and finally she headed out the front door. I am saying thank you god.............
I walk into my bathroom to find my bathroom has been flooded. The boy decided to go and play in the sink and left it running full blast. Mind you he stopped the sink up. So my entire bathroom is flooded in at least an inch of water. I was so mad. Then I go back to the kitchen because I was trying to get the dishes cleaned up and realized he had shattered several plates and cups in the sink.
So then I am looking around the house and I realize my house is in total chaos. I have beer bottles everywhere, food left everywhere, a sink full of dirty dishes, toys strewn all over the house, a flooded bathroom, broken dishes, a broken swing, a broken bike, and holes all in my yard. Needless to say, she will never be back to my house.
I can't hardly believe there are people in the world like this. Didn't her momma teach her any better? I am guesstimating total damages to my home are going to be around 500 bucks. I have to buy a new swing, and pay the trash guys extra to take the old one. I have to buy my daughter a new bike and pay the trash guys extra to take the old one. And in case you are wondering there is no fixing it. He even broke the bolt that held the wheel on besides breaking the metal wheel well. I will have to take pictures of it and show you guys. I have to go to Lowe's and buy potting soil and grass seed. I have to go buy several new dishes and cups to replace the ones he broke. Not to mention all the gas I am going to be using to go from one side of town to the other.
With that said, I am going to start cleaning this house. I feel like I threw a party of college years. My house is more trashed now than it ever was from parties in college. And all I had over was two little kids and one woman. *sighs* never again.

The Real Heros
Blah Blah Blah............I decided to keep my daughter home today. I think her going everyday all day long might be too much of a shock for her. She was talking to me last night and she said mommy I don't want to go to school. So I just looked at her and said do you want to stay at home? She said yes mommy no school. This morning when she got up she didn't even ask me about going to school. So I decided to let her stay at home with me. I think she needed a mini break. I have been noticing the last few days she has cried everytime I have dropped her off and ran out the door when I came to get her. I have also noticed that one of the teachers is not being nice to me anymore. So it makes me wonder if Madison is doing something that gets on her nerves and she looks badly at me for it. I ask everyday if she has been good or if she caused any problems and everyday the teacher just says she is a girly girl. Everyday, I feel like saying yea tell me something I don't already know =))
I am concerned my daughter isn't enjoying this experience. I am also concerned that maybe she is still a little young for this. I really wish they had half days. That would make it so much easier. I think she would adjust better to half days because it isn't as long of a time being away from me.
*sighs* Being mommy and daddy is getting really hard. I hate not having Bub around to discuss this stuff with. I have also noticed that now she has gone to school she asks me everyday where her daddy is. I think she realizes she is different from the other kids. I wonder how there are so many kids in the class and only my daughter's dad is gone. How is that possible? The base is practically baron. All I ever see anymore, are the recruits. Maybe I picked the wrong time for her to go. Maybe I am stressing her out too much. Ok all my other moms out there, now would be a good time to pipe up with some advice.......:)
So I had to get my a/c fixed yesterday...........Let me tell you that was an experience. The dude that came out to my house really cracked me up. So I'll give you the brief run down.
My doorbell rings....I already know it's going to be the a/c guy. As soon as I open the door he starts smiling at me. I was like ok..........I said the thermostat is over here and the unit is there......He says ok. Meanwhile he is still smiling at me. I was thinking ok dude stop smiling you are creeping me out. Nobody should be happy about being outside in 100+ weather!! So he finally fixes my unit and in the process he floods my bathroom *rolls eyes* He finally comes back in and said ok I have you all fixed up. I said ok I really appreciate it. Then he just stands there a minute and I was like ok.........So then I say to him thank you. He pulls out a card writes something on it and says if you have anymore problems give me a call.......I said I already have you guys' number but thank you. Then he stands there a little longer......I am like yo dude you can leave now. So then he finally walks out and I went through the house locking all the doors. He seriously creeped me out.
First of all, I am not into skinny ugly white boys. Second of all, I am definatly not into guys who wear their pants so tight you can practically see their buttcrack thru their pants!!! :-& That is just wrong.......not even girls should wear pants that tight!! I want y'all to know his accent was thicker than mine. So I am seriously curious to know where exactly he is from. Don't worry, I'm not calling to find out =))
So now I want to tell y'all about the neighbor. She decided to come over. I was like ok..... I was just out washing my car, minding my own business. She said we just wanted to come over and tell you we think you are so nice and we really love you......I was like wtf!!! I thought maybe she was smoking a little something something before she came out. Then she says would you like a beer....I was like no thank you. I'm really not into beer. I was trying to get her to go away so I could finish washing my car. Then her hubby comes out while I am washing the car and turns on his sprinkler and wouldn't you know it goes right into my yard onto my car. *sighs* I thought ok it's obviously pointless to wash it now. So she came over just to tell me about her friend who had been cheated on and found out the dude got the other girl pregnant. I was like ok I know you how??? Do I know her??? Wow. I am going to have to be sure to tell Eric (my neighbor across the street) about that one. Looking back on it now it was kind of humorous. I think she was either drunk or high. Her husband on the other hand was really laid back. He was actually pretty nice and wasn't at all loud or abnoxious. Of course, I don't think he was on anything either..... He kept telling me about how quite it is over here. I'm not sure if he was saying it as a hint to her or if he was saying it trying to find out if people over here ever throw parties. I just looked at him and smiled. Didn't have much to say about any of it. =)) As long as they aren't disturbing my sleep or my kid's we'll get along.
Anyways, I need to get going. Today is my hair day. I am so excited. I am going to completely change the color of it. I think I am going to do some color of brown with white blonde hi-lites. He better do them heavy around the face...... Alan has this knack of being on his own plan. Sometimes, that's ok, but not today. If my hair turns out jacked up me and him are going to go round and round....... I am not going to have to buy a wig cuz he wanted to be on his own program.... He normally does a really good job. It's just that if I tell him a certain way I want it done, a lot of times it doesn't turn out the way I asked for. It still looks really good, it just wasn't what I asked for. Anyways, I will let you guys know.
I hope y'all have a very good morning and a great day :)

Is It Hot Enough Yet?OMG y'all is it hot enough? We have hit triple digits and not just like 100. We have been running closer to 110. To make matters worse my ac has seemed to stop working. I am not going to pay the extra 100 bucks for them to make an emergentcy call. I can wait until morning. At least I have ceiling fans, and I have boxed fans in storage. I can also open my windows in a couple of hours. The wind is blowing nicely. I have a good mind to open the freezer and stand in front of it..............=))
I have a very packed week. I must apologize in advance if I don't make it around to everybody's blog. I will do my best.
I also wanted to mention this on a brief note: It's time to make the unit's deployment video. I need some suggestions on what songs you would thing would be good to use as the back drop. Let me know what suggestions you may have. Please and Thank you :)
So I have to tell y'all how blonde I am..........=)) I went to Lowe's to buy a hose. I get in there and I am looking around and I think OMG how many different kinds of hoses can you have....?!! So I finally picked one. I want y'all to know the only reason why I picked that one was because it said it was made of 100% recycled material. I get the hose home and try to wash my car with it only to find it doesn't work. The reason why it doesn't work is because it's a bleeder hose made for watering your garden. DUH! I guess this was a classic case of I should have read the directions or at least paid a little better attention. Oh well.
I did end up going back to buy a regular green hose. In a little bit, I am going to have to test it out by washing my car. If Bub saw how nasty it was, well, he would be pretty upset with me. It never fails when I finally break down and wash it it always rains. The good news is I have a garage. :)) So let the rain pour down...........=))
I should probably get busy washing my car as wrestling comes on tonite. Yes, I know wrestling is faker than fake. I just like looking at John Cena.........=)) He is one hot man. For those of you who don't know who he is you'll have to google him. He is full blooded Italian but he doesn't look it. The ladies will have to check him out......Just cuz I'm married doesn't mean I can't look........=))
Well with that said, I have to feed the kids and get them ready for bed. I made steaks with rice and gravy. For dessert we are going to have watermelon. YUMMY!!! I have another long day ahead of me again. :( For all of you who constantly stay busy, I just don't know how y'all do it. So until next time.........{{{HUGS}}}

Does Anybody Like...........I have to brag on Bub for a second....So I got flowers and with the flowers came a ring. It is a very pretty ring. It's emerald and diamond. It's very pretty. The note he sent with it said because her beauty is far more than emeralds and diamonds. Of course, he wrote more on it, (*blushes*) but it's too mushy to put all of it in here. So I wanted to brag on him a minute and just say what a wonderful hubby I have.
Does anybody like chocolate milk? Ok, I have to say, I have been on a chocolate milk craze for a couple of weeks now. I orginally bought the nesquick powdered stuff for my kids. Then one day I said I really want some chocolate milk and dang y'all I haven't stopped since.
When I was a child, I didn't eat chips or cakes or anything deemed unhealthy. My poor momma, well she can't really cook to save her life. So we had all healthy food. I am talking no sugar except special occassions. Always veggies never meat and potatoes. I was deprived as a kid. =)) To this day, I still can not stand whole wheat bread. *YUK*
I try to feed my kids well balanced meals, but I also let them have some junk food. I do buy chips, but not all the time. I let them have candy sometimes. It really depends if I want to deal with kids that are cracked out on candy. LOL :)) So this is how I came about to buying the chocolate milk mix. I remembered the first time having it as a teenager in school and I wanted to share the experience with my kids. Of course, they didn't appreciate the whole experience like I did, but it was fun to see the look on their faces when I gave it to them.
When I was in college, a couple of summers I worked in summer camps. I was a counselor the first time around, the second time around I was a lifeguard. It wasn't until I worked there I had ever had smores. I didn't even know what smores were. I had never even been camping. I have to tell you even though the pay really sucked, that was the best time of my life. I had such a blast. I will never forget it and it has caused me to want to send my girls to camp when they get older.
Ok so I have to tell y'all about my new neighbor. At first, I was thinking she was really nice right? Yesterday eveing, I was out mowing my yard. I had already mowed the back and was going to put the tractor back. I hear my neighbor saying my name and she says I told my mother in law that as soon as I came out here you would come back. I was like ok.....thinking to myself nobody told you to come outside when you knew I was mowing.....Then she says are you done yet? I said I am. I was thinking to myself what would you do if I wasn't? I am not going to stop mowing my lawn just because it's inconvenient to her. I have to do stuff when I can. I have to work around my schedule and my kids. I can't have them out playing in the yard while I am trying to mow. Then I hear her talking to whoever on the phone about me.(which wasn't the first time I caught her doing it either) I was like wow. I have been nothing but nice to her. Go figure that one. So I have decided I am not going to go out of my way for her. Now like my neighbor who lives across the street, I would go out of my way for him and his wife. They are good people and they have helped me out everytime I have ever asked and they are usually just pretty nice. I'm not sure why my old neighbors moved. I do know they still own the house the new neighbors live in. Oh well, eventually they will learn to either be nice or keep to themselves. I guess nobody told them that the owners of the house happen to be good friends of Bub and I.......
Anyways, I am going to get going. Today is waterpark day for the kids. I tell them if they stay well behaved all week they get to go to the waterpark all day. Even if they were less than good, I would still cut them a little slack. I really enjoy the waterpark myself. :)) It's kind of a treat for me too. *giggles* Everybody have a safe and wonderful weekend.

WTF!!!! That's Not Cool!Ok so I have to tell y'all about yesterday. *sighs* I got a ticket! For going 20 over!! Somebody please tell me how it's possible to have a speed limit that is 45 on one side of the road and the exact same road on the other side it's 20?
I was going 40 and I actually thought the speed limit was 45 because I saw the sign on the other side saying 45. Do you think there was sign on my side of the road saying 20? So I am going down the road listening to music and thinking about life. It's my favorite thing to do while driving. I get in the stop light and I am waiting for the light to change then all of a sudden I hear a siren and it brought me back to reality. I looked in the rear view mirror and thought wtf! Is he trying to pull me over? I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get to the nearest parking lot. Then when I saw him pulling behind me I said dammit!!!
I have always heard if a pig gets out in the rain you are getting a ticket. That was certainly true in my case. He said are you in a hurry? I said no why? He said you realize you were speeding. I said no I was doing 40. He said the speed limit is 20. I looked at him like are you crazy? I said the sign I saw said 45. He said yes it is for that side of the road. I looked at him like that had to be the most stupid thing I had ever heard. I said I'm sorry I wasn't aware the speed limit was different for different sides of the road. He said give me your d/l and insurance. Off to his car he went.
He came back and gave me this whole big lecture about driving in the rain and how dangerous it was. I was sitting there thinking would you just hurry up and give me my ticket.........I really think he couldn't count how old I was. He was lecturing me like I was a new driver. I know I look young, but I know I do not look 16. I told him again I was very sorry and I didn't realize the speed limit was different. Then he gave me the dreaded piece of paper. Then to add insult to injury the fool drove off at tremedous rates and even squalled his tires. I can't tell y'all what I thought about that, but I can tell y'all it wasn't very nice :))
I am still wondering why my radar didn't go off.......... I am seriously wondering if that pig just guesstimated what speed I was going. He didn't clock me because if he would have my radar would have been going crazy. And on top of that my radar also has a 360 guard on it which means it jams their radars within a certain distance. It picks up their radars from one mile away. Even if they are sitting and randomly clocking people, it will pick it up. There were no white lines of the side of the road either so he can't say a plane over head caught me. Yep, I think he guesstimated. Is that even legal? In this state it probably is.........
I swear this state has the most jacked up laws I have ever seen in my life. I seriously want to know why I have never seen this in any other state but this one? How is the speed limit so drastically different for one side of the same road? So now I could possibly lose my d/l over friggin stupid speed limit laws and be fined 500$ Getting a lawyer here is pointless. I will still have to pay the fee and I will still have the points go on my d/l. On top of that, then I will still have to pay the attorney's fee. Seems kind of pointless, if you ask me. The good news is my insurance company does something called accident and ticket forgiveness. That was my one get out of jail free card.
Moving on..........My daughter seemed to really love going to school. All she could talk about was school. She cried when I went to pick her up. She said no mommy I don't wanna go home!!! I guess that is a good sign she really liked it right? This morning she rushed around getting dressed and getting ready. She didn't even eat all of her breakfast because she was so busy talking about school. She can already tell me what a circle, square, retangle, and triangle is. The next thing she will learn is colors and numbers. I have her ahead there. She can already count to 10 and she knows most of her colors. She confuses some of them like blue and black. But she'll get it.
She seems to be going through a stage of wanting to cry over every little thing. I have always heard girls are more trouble due to the "drama". I had never seen the drama until recently. Now I see it, I am wondering OMG what is she going to be like at 13?!!
In other news, I just wanted to briefly share Ken Lay, the former CEO of Enron, dropped dead yesterday. He had a massive heart attack. He never even made it to prison. So my question is was justice really served? My opinion is I don't think it was. He never paid his debt to society. I guess it would be worse to be dead than to be alive and locked up. Anyways, tell me if you see some irony in this.....
With that said, I am off to shop for groceries. I hope everybody has a wonderful day ahead of them and everybody try to stay cool in this awfully hot weather. :)

I don't want a title................Well guys, today is my oldest daughter's first day of school. *sighs* I have been thinking how fast time really does fly. I took her to school and she cried. It almost broke my heart. I think the whole issue of having her leg broken has really scared her. She use to never mind going to new places without me. I am going to have to tell her counselor how she re-acted and see if we can get her to work on it.
I am going to change gears for a minute and bring up something else that has really been on my mind. My mom was saying to me that I really need to fly out to see her. I could if I wanted to, but I really don't want to. She said it's not fair that she never gets to see my kids. So this is the predictament I am in; is it my responsibility to take my children to see their grandparents? Does the door not swing both ways? Since I have had my kids, my parents have seen my children one time that they came out. One of my kids they have never even met, only seen pictures of her.
My mom is always trying to put a guilt trip on me for never bringing them to her. Why is it I ALWAYS have to come to them? Why can they not come to us? Are my children not really important to them? I told my mom we were getting ready to move out of the country soon. She said well, hopefully you'll stop in and see us before you go. It would be nice. I was like ok that's not the response I expected.
Tell me what is more important than family? Is your job more important? Is being busy more important? What is more important? I thought they would have learned from their mistakes with me, but I guess they haven't. I would think with all the life they have been through they still haven't learned to really live life. My dad and I don't like each other. I have my reasons, but that shouldn't prevent him from acting like an adult and seeing his grandkids. I guess really, I should come to expect heartbreak from my parents. I think that's part of the reason why I don't take my kids to them anymore. I guess that's just the way it is.
My daughter going to school for the first time really got me to thinking about how they have really missed out on her life. My kids don't even know their grandparents. Even if they walked right up to them, my kids would probably run from them.
My dad always says he's changed......."I'm not like that anymore" then I hear him in the background and think to myself that's funny I thought you changed. I think it's real easy for anybody to put an act on. It's all about control. When I moved for the first time out of my home state, my parents forbid me to do it. I was like excuse me? Last time I checked, I was a grown woman with a husband and a family pay my own bills and keep a roof over my head. When I walked out of my parents house for the last time, I knew I was never coming back. You can only push a person so far before they snap. That's just the way it is.
I feel sorry for my parents. Neither one of them has their priorities right. I really believe I am more grown up than they are. I'm not saying I am smarter or have more life experience than them, just more wise and matured.
It's sad really when you think about it. I guess you just have to learn to roll with the punches. Even though it hurts my heart that my kids seem to not be good enough for them, my kids will never have to know the truth. It's my job as mom to try to shield pain from them when possible. I know one thing, I will never treat my grandkids they ways my parents treat my kids. Somebody has to break the cycle, it might as well be me.

Star Vs. Barbra.......!! *rolls eyes*Ok if you guys have been watching the news you guys will know that Star Jones has left The View and Barbra Walters is mad at her.
Ok, I am rolling my eyes at this one. First of all, doesn't our news channels have anything more important to be reporting????
Did you know that school loan intrest rates are going up by 2%? So if you have a school loan for 40,000 dollars you will end up paying an extra 5,000 dollars in intrest. The hike will be effective midnight Friday night.
My suggestion is refinance before then to lock in a fixed rate. Good sites that will help you out and point you in the right direction are the Fanny Mae foundation and also a web site called FinAid.com
Another story..... Widows from the war aren't getting their spouses benefits. My question is how can anybody especially the government be so cruel to the heros of our nation? They call them our heros and of course thank them for their service, but I guess when it comes down to it the widows are SOL if the government doesn't want to pay.
In all seriousness, the VA who is the provider of the SGLI (military life insurance) has imposed so many rules on these service guys it's unreal. Take for instance if a soldier dies in combat but doesn't have everybit of "required" gear on his widow will not receive the life insurance. Ok in the first place, I think that is one of the stupidest rules to impose now. Most of the time when a soldier dies now it's due to bombs. I don't care what kind of gear you have on it is not going to save your life if you are within a certain radiance of the bomb. DUH, common sense!!!
I believe if a person has to go through the trauma of losing their spouse in combat the very least the government could do is pay up. I really think the government should enact certain programs that help the widows find housing since they will no longer be allowed to stay in base housing. I think they should have continued benefits from Tricare for 6 months after losing their spouse. This way they can afford to go to grief counseling and if they have kids who are old enough to understand they can go to. They would also be able to afford nessicary medications that will more than likely result from losing their spouse. I just don't understand why the government is so cheap and stingy when it comes time to pay up. They spend billions of dollars a year, but don't want to spend the money or time taking care of our veteran's spouses. If they can spend billions of dollars a year on war, they need to provide programs for the spouses and pay up their life insurance.

I'm Back.............YAY!!!So I finally made it back home alive and in one piece =)) I got home to discover all this mail I had. Somebody please tell me why there was a card in the mailbox from my evil monster in law?!!!!
I swear to god, I really think she tries to pi ss me off. I take that back: I KNOW she tries to. For those of you who don't know how evil she is........ she is the person who called social services on me for no other reason except to cause some bs drama. If you look back in January's archives you'll find, I think it was 2 blogs, I wrote about her. One was about how she had gotten so drunk she passed out under the tree on Christmas Eve night and the other was about social services.
So y'all want to know what I did? I wrote in plain print (not cursive) that person no longer lives here *giggles* return to sender!!! I don't care if that was bad or not. After the last few stunts she pulled on me, I never want to have anything to do with her ever again.
So then I keep reading through the mail and I get this one thing from Bub's insurance and it's informing us that his premiums are going up 5 dollars. I said wtf, they can't do that!! Apparently they can because I called about it and it was explained to me they are raising everybody's premiums. I think great that's just what we need to be paid the same and have expenses increase....*rolls eyes* Sometimes, I seriously wonder if there is a way to get out of having the SGLI and finding another insurance company. In the last two years, premiums have gone up plus dental went up too. I get tired of being paid the same, but having things the military requires you to have go up.
Bub was talking about he was getting a raise in January, but that is going to go the same way it went last time. His check is going to go up maybe 10 dollars. I guess really though that isn't horrible. I should do the math for a regular job and see if they get a raise how much their checks would go up versus military. If this raise is anything like the last raise, it is only going up by 3 percent. I will have to do some research into that and see because I don't think the government would raise us six percent in 3 to 4 years.
Anyways, I don't really want to think about bending over and getting the big green weanie anymore than I have to right now, so I am going to tell y'all about Mexico. It was so beautiful. My girlfriend and I traveled through different parts of Mexico. But I only got to do that for about a week due to my kids getting sick then her son got sick two days after my kids did. We decided it must have been something in the air. I am sure it was probably something nasty they touched, but we just decided it was the air =))
I had all these pictures I was going to put up, but my computer decided to eat them and then die on me. I have a card for my camera and I just take my card straight out and put it into the computer to offload them. Then when it has finished it deletes all images off the card. I am going to have to change that setting just in case my puter ever gets sick again. That pi ssed me off so badly. Right after I offloaded them I got this error message and I was like ok well that should be no big deal because they should be saved to the hard drive. Surprise............apparently they didn't! :( I had almost 200 pics on the card too. I ended up having to take my puter to a tech. You know it's bad when I do that because that means I couldn't do it myself which is saying a lot. So for those of you wondering, I did get back when I said I would. I just couldn't get online thanks to my computer having some kind of meltdown.(at least that's what I call it when it refuses to work all together)
My kids are so tan. It makes me sick. They are just as brown as they can be. Don't worry I used sunscreen on them. My first day out in the sun I turned red as could be. What's even worse is I used sunscreen too. Well, I actually think it was sunblock. It all looks the same to me.......?
Overall, even though I went through my kids being sick, I had a really good time. It was a lot of fun to go with my friend. We cut up and picked a lot. We made it fun for each other. I didn't want to be a drag for her when my kids were sick so I told her to go on out and have fun. She did for a few hours then she would come back and say it's not the same with you out there. So we ordered dvds for the kids and we went to get board games. We watched movies and talked. Then finally all the kids were better. We took them to a close by water park and let them have at it. They loved the water. Everyday they cried when it was time to go "home". I was really surprised because my kids hardly ever throw tantrums. So now I know they really really love the water. I mean I knew they liked the tub, but all the times before when I had tried taking them to the pool they just hated it. They would cry and yada yada because I had them in the pool not because we were leaving it. It really was a lot of fun. I didn't get to do everything I wanted, but that's just the way it goes sometimes. Those are the punches I learned to roll with. I will say this, that was a real life experience. I still haven't learned a lot of spanish and I am glad my friend went with me. She speaks spanish fluently.
Well, I need to be running along. I still have a lot to do. I need to keep washing clothes. My poor dog needs a bath. He is one stinky gross smelling dog. YUK! I need to get the clothes already washed put away. Then I need to start in on the housework. I know I won't get all of that accomplished now but it will be done by the end of the day. So until next time......................
