WK 49

Well I have gotten through another long week. I am not even close to being finished on that blanket yet. I will just have to mail it when I am done. I have been able to go to the gym twice this week so far. Hoping to go this afternoon with my mom in law. Had a weird morning today. Spilled a soda in my yarn box!! I tripped on the clean clothes basket. Fortunately I only ruined two yarn balls. That were almost used up any ways. Yeah!! Kadi and Anna are acting really strange this morning. They keep whispering. I think they're up to something. I guess I will find out soon. I need to find someone to watch the girls this afternoon for mom an me. I hope I can. She actually wants to go!! And the fact that I miss Dave a whole heck of a lot. Have fun!!

Forever wondering what's going on....

I feel so spacey. Can't seem to keep my thought straight. And I have an appointment at the gym today. Hope My brain cooperates. I got to talk to Dave last night so I feel good about that. I have 3 good strips into my next baby blanket. Looks like I should be able to get it done. This one is going to be quite a bit bigger than 2 I made for Tara. I have the patio out front pretty much clean for the girls. So soon they will have a place to play outside. Yeah. Well I gotta get dressed so I can make it to the gym.

Clean...Clean.. Clean...

Hoping every one is doing well out there in cyber space. I have conquered the main portion of clutter in my room. This does not include my bro in laws stuff he still has up high an down low in the closet. LoL. So now I can concentrate on my yarn tomorrow. Have to make a blanket for a cousins baby shower next Saturday. Another little boy to join the world soon.

Anybody else just feel.....Stressed out?

Feeling a little stretched out. Wondering why I am the one who is supposed to get everything done. Heidi touched on the subject yesterday. I can see why she sat and asked the question. I have trouble asking it with out whining. Seems moms today are required to be taxi drivers, house keepers, accountants, gardeners, vets, and a few other jobs all wrapped into one. I have had several different jobs. And being a stay at home mom happens to be the most stressful. But, it's worth it for the good days. The smiles, and giggles that often erupt from the little people downstairs. Relaxing every now and then would be great too. When the girls go to sleep I do dishes and laundry. Folding while watching TV. LoL. I push in my yarn time when I can. Which is probably why it is crooked. I get up any where from 20 to 45 times during a project. I have been trying to go to the gym. I am attempting to find myself under the baby fat. But, when I go to the gym that's 2 hours of a break. Even if I am on an elliptical. It is even worth the 40 minute bus ride. But, between rain and colds I have been home for a week. Oh well, that's my job/s. LoL. I blog during their breakfast. LoL Everybody have fun! Cus I am going to try!

WK 50

Getting ready for the gym this morning. Kadi looks as if she feels better. I rolled all that yarn into balls. I have been making butterflies like crazy. I have been using fuzzy black yarn instead of pipecleaners I think it looks neat. I am now into week 50. Hopfully everything works out today so the girls and I can get out of the house. Well I gotta go. Everybody have fun!

At least I am far from bored..Right?

Well I finally got that bus pass. Anna and I went out yesterday. I got some new solo pieces. They are gonna be fun. I made a bunch of new butterflies to start a new idea I had. Here are some of them. I have gotten to talk to Dave a couple of times in the last few days. I love to hear his voice. He has been making fun of me . Calling my room the Dave shrine. I keep finding good picture Of him around the house in boxes. So far I only have 15 pictures. LoL. Kadi is really sick right now. So haven't gotten to the gym since last week. Can't get the other babies at the day care sick. And it sounds like Anna maybe getting it too. I just want my cough to go away. Oh well. I am finished rolling all that yarn into balls. I am going thought it quickly. Yeah!!! I love it! I am at least keeping really busy. Gotta go do some housework. Have fun everyone!

It's an Epidemic!!!

Well, yesterday got Anna hair cut. Since she decided it was time. Hers looks good. It's cute!
Now mine on the other hand was chopped an inch to short. But, it was no fault of the stylist. It was Anna. She jumped down from her chair raced over and slammed into me. We were lucky I have hair. She stood in the corner for the rest of that trip. Oh well, wanted to let it grow out once I got the bleach out anyway. I feel awful. My nose is all stuffy. And I still haven't heard from Dave. *sigh* Well, gotta clean house. Have fun all!

Yeah!!

I got my package from the Heidi lady. She is so awesome!!! YARN! YARN!!
Yippie! Thankyou!!!

Time to get a snipping....

Okay... glad I had change saved in a jar. Anna just cut her hair with nail clippers. No I am not kidding. Time to go to the salon. LoL. *sigh*

Once again the money runs dry..

Okay no money from the wreck is coming. The state is taking it. So I am now stuck with not enough money for everything. There goes the saving I had started to get to Barstow. *sigh* I wish I could get a hold of Dave. I think that emergency is starting to brew. It looks like we may be abandoning Mom up here if she doesn't come to her senses soon. I don't want to but, I may have to. Not sure what to do. Trying not to be stressed out. It isn't really working though. Missed the bus, if you couldn't tell. Was on the phone with people trying to get things through to them. Didn't happen. Kadi passed out every probably because she woke up so early this morning. And now it has started raining so at least we aren't caught out in it. Anna is driving me nuts today. But, she has been home for 2 days straight again. Well everybody have extra fun for me today!!!

Soo early..

Good morning. I guess. Feel really bad this morning. I have to take advantage of the clear skies this morning. And get outta here in a little bit. Going go get that bus pass, finally. Have fun!

Realization

The more I look at this photo that I took an posted this morning the more I like it. The bracelet Dave got for me on the window sill. I miss him a lot.

Aw man....

Waiting on phone calls. Or I would have left by now. It's already afternoon. Might as well wait on the mail lady now. Will have to get my bus pass tonight or in the morning. Before my Appointment. Man, I am going nuts. It's pretty outside. And I am stuck inside because people don't know how to use a fax machine correctly. Why can't people just do their jobs, without being nagged? I would love it if they would. Don't know what to make for dinner. And the loneliness is really starting to get to me now. Really need someone to talk to. With out listening to , "Mommy! Mommy the baby is being mean to me!" I have been listening to that all day. Kadi has been running up and slamming into Anna. That's how she hugs. But, Anna is a drama queen. So she acts like it's killing her. Kadi threw a HUGE fit. So she is up stairs in her play pen. I don't know what to do with her. So I just put her up when I can't get her to stop. Does anybody else have even suggestions? Anna didn't throw herself down like this. Kadi throws herself on the floor, and screams. Time outs don't really have an effect on a 16 month old. *sigh* well, off to find dinner for everybody. Have fun.

Time to figure it out...

Hoping to go get my bus pass renewed this morning. My allergies are starting in already. This spring should be good an miserable. Thinking about getting the rest of the bleach cut out of my hair today. I think I have enough change. If I do, I will. The fuzz is bugging me. Woke up bored today. Which is odd. I have felt trapped for the week or so. But, not bored. Always had something to do. Only on one day last week was I bored. And that's because I had everything done. I guess it's just the monotony. The same things over, and over. I am going to the gym later, if I go at all today. I don't really feel like it. Dragging the kids down there. But, I probably will. Cause I need to. I am slowly making myself better. I just wish I had a baby sitter. That is most of the problem. Everything is revolving around the girls. Which is ok, most of the time. I would just like a day for me. That's all. Well, that sounds horrible. Thinking about going to the mall. But, don't really have a reason. Just looking for reasons to get out of the house, I guess. The only adults that I talk to face to face besides Dave's mom are the people I meet on the bus. And my personal trainer. I feel so alone. I miss Dave so much. I feel like I am going crazy. I wonder if he misses me as much. Well, off to the store for that pass. Hope everybody has a great day. Have fun.

Nite Nite

Well, I hope everyone had a good day. Mine was pretty good. The mail lady let me down again today though. Waiting restlessly for two packages. Had a great workout. The girls were great today. And I got a lot more done on the second blankie. Tiring to go to sleep right now. I miss Dave a lot. In need of hugs. *sigh* Good night everybody.

WK 51....

Okay the count down has offically begun now. Made it through the first week. Just have 51 more to go. *sigh* Well, have to get ready to go to the gym. It isn't raining have to take advantage. Post again later.

One more time!!!

Well hello again everyone. We braved the rain and got on the bus. We were only rained on once thankfully. Just lots of wind. I got to the gym. Yippie! And apparently I have lost 8lbs this week. Well, I only eat when I am happy. So I guess I will probably lose lots of weight while Dave is gone, huh. It was a good 4 hours out. And Anna met some more new friends. I hope everyone is having fun. I did today!

Trapped..Again...

Wondering if I can deal with this much more. Ah!!! Well, I am getting lots of crocheting and house work done. The sun is shining, and it is pouring so hard the gutters are overflowing. If we needed the rain it would be different. But, we need rain like the beach needs more salt. Adult conversation is few an far between right now too. Haven't gotten a call from Dave in a couple of days. But, that is ok. I can deal. Because, I have too. I wonder if I am supposed to stay inside with the girls, right now. I can't take them out in this heavy rain. They will get sick again. Cant' have that. I feel so selfish. I just want a few hours to myself. Just a few. A whole day might be asking to much. I had to sit in the garage yesterday, while Kadi took a nap. Anna was watching the dreaded "Nemo". I was afraid I was getting to snappy with them. So I did enough laundry to clothe all three of us for a month. At least we have clean clothes, right? And they are being so good for being cooped up inside. They love the daycare at the gym, and they haven't gotten to go either. Anna had finally made some friends too. *sigh* They have no place to get rid of that extra energy. So they really are being good. I don't think I am ever going to get a good audition piece. I would just use one from the computer... But no printer right now. I wish Dave was here. He always fixes these things. And I need a hug. A BIG hug! Well, I guess today is movie marathon day! We sure have enough. LoL. We can go through Anna, and Kadi's toys and find the broken ones. We need to do that again anyway. Well, at least we have stuff to do. Even if it isn't very much fun. I should be getting lots of packages today. I love packages. Heidi's should be coming in any day now. *happy dance* Yarn, new yarn!! Yippie! I am watching it rain right now. Since there is no way we will make the bus this morning I am letting Anna sleep. No sense in dealing with the sleepy monster, unless I have too. LoL. It is a steady hard rain. It would be a good spring rain, if we hadn't had it for 5 days straight. It slows down for a little while. Then lets loose again. Oh well, everybody have some extra fun for me.

Dang it!

Okay that will teach me to hope outloud...it's raining... Hard. Again...

Morning, morning, morning!

It's 7am. Yes, it is that flipping early. *rubs sleep from eyes*. It isn't raining, so far. So this morning I am getting ready, right now, to leave in about 40 minutes. I am going hop the bus to go to gym. I need to break the cycle of sitting on my lazy butt. I also need to pick up some audition pieces. Things must be done today. *sigh* I must also call the insurance company today and see if they have everything under control now. Working on saving up to move. Can't afford Santa Rosa. Everything is expensive. Kadi slept all the way through the night. Which is sooo nice. I miss Savannah. Can't afford a home visit right now. I started another baby blankie, this one is in gemstone. I will post a picture of it later today. Also finish 3 more large butterflies. Oh well. I gotta get Kadi, and Anna fed. And finish getting Anna dressed. She HATES to get up early. Just like Daddy. Have fun for me!!

DONE!!!

All done!! It is slightly crooked though. *sigh* But, I think it will do the trick. Don't you? I think it's pretty.
And here are my butterflies. Dave made the red one, and the purple one while we were in Germany. And the yellow and pink were gifts. But, there rest are mine. Some are missing though. Must still be in storage. If anyone would like a butterfly just tell me! I need some stuff do. Still raining. *sigh* Now there flash flood warnings up. So I don't even know if the bus is running or not. Mom took off yesterday before I could ask her to watch the girls. So it has now been a solid week with them. I have been to walmart with them. But, I haven't been alone for over a week now. I am going nuts. Oh well. Kadi has all her teeth through now. Not completely in, but through the skin. I think I may start another blankie for Tara to go with this one. Hoping to get out alone at some point today. I don't even mind if I get soaked. Just to get away for a little bit. *sigh* Well have fun all!

Man, I think all this rain is trying to tell me something.....

Hey everybody... I think today is the day I venture out alone. Just for the simple fact that people are driving me crazy. I need a little bit to myself. And as you can see it is impossible to take the girls with me. So I am going to bust out the umbrella. *WOOHOO* Well, I am more than half finished with my blankie for Tara. And it is going in my back pack today, so it might be done by the time I get back. I am including a picture, of my one of my passions which I can now pursue. If for no other reason than to keep me busy. This is my Bass. *Katie-BUG*. Yes, I named my bass. But, after my niece. She is older than my daughter. *smiles* My flutes name is *Jethro*. Which will make my brother fall into peels of laughter for a completely different reason. I have begun to loose weight again. Even with out the exercise. And dropping 5 lbs in two days would be good if I knew where it went! I am going to a music shop today to see about renting a horn, and getting some audition pieces for my flute. I was amazed with how quickly I picked everything for it back up. How much I remembered. Six years really didn't make much of a difference. Besides my face feeling like it was gonna slide off my face. *OW* And falling down the stairs yesterday didn't help either. *My Butt Hurts.* Anna is no longer allowed more than 2 toys at a time. I have a big bruise. But, Kadi is fine. She thought it was fun. Since all she did was bounce. LoL. I found a lot of Dave's baby pictures, and when I am able to get to a scanner with them. Look out! But, no scanner today. Rain might hurt the pictures. *sigh* Well, I have rambled on long enough. I will let everyone get back to their days. Have some extra fun for me. Just in case.

It's Saturday...

Well, it's Saturday. It's me!! But, I can't really tell. No Dave here to be off work. I got another phone call though. Yippie! No gym again today. *sigh* I will get off my butt sooner or later , I swear. On the weekends the day care is a little more limited though. On Saturday, it is open 9 to 12. So I wouldn't make it today anyhow. And it is closed tomorrow. So I have to get Mom to watch them on the weekends. It feels awful to ask her all the time. I haven't really asked her to for about a week. Even though I have meant to. The girls are being great. So at least I have that right. Got to go to Wally world later to get some yarn for the baby blankie. Then it will be all done except for the edging. I haven't figured out what to edge it with yet. I was thinking red or orange. Something bright. It will be pretty when I am finished. Dave seems to be doing well. If a bit bored. I miss him a lot. Well, you guys have fun!!

Has Anyone else Noticed.....

That I seem to crochet better when I am trying to forget about some thing? I have noticed this. I am over half done with Tara's blankie. The only reason I stopped is because I ran out of the color. I have to go get another skein. I have my frumpy afghan going good. Soon I will have it done I am sure. It is a yummy soft afghan. Unfortunately it is in a discontinued color. AH!!! No! So this is the one and only afghan I can make in it. And to stretch out the color I am going to border each square and the whole thing in a deep green. Sigh. I would have loved a sweater or a scarf in this. Oh well. Our car insurance company is being a pain in the rear. Hopefully that works itself out. I don't know if I can handle the crap they are throwing at me. I have calmed down considerably. Not stressed anymore. Really, I swear. Why do you think the blankie got done so quick. It was raining this morning, again. So now it has been a solid week since I have been to the gym. Bad Gina!! Bad! Oh well. Hopefully I can go tonight. If not tomorrow. Not really anything I can do about it. Haven't lost anymore weight though. *sigh* I miss Dave sooo much. But, I am doing ok with that. I think. I just need a David hug. Well, have fun!

HHHmmmmm......

I have started a baby blanket for my friend Tara(http://omanafreak.blogspot.com/). I am making one that's a little different. I changed up the colors in it. Instead of a using the usual muted pastels, I am using a bright multi colored yarn. I hope she likes it! Yippie! I started it yesterday. Almost half way through already. I keep spacing out while I am crocheting. I like the stitches I am using in this one. They're really easy. There are going to be four alternating squares. And a thick border around it. I like it. I hope to be able to get to the gym later today. I haven't been able to go because of the rain. And the fact that I have been having trouble leaving the bed in the morning. My stuffed dog is sprayed with my hubbies cologne and wearing one of his tshirts. I know I am pitiful. My mom in law is getting off a little early today so I was going to see if she'll watch the girls for a while. It will give me a little bit of a break. Which would be nice. I finally got a battery charger for my rechargerables so more pictures will be forthcoming. LoL. Still a little overwhelmed by the length of time Dave and I will be separated. I am sure you all will be sick of hearing about it soon. *sigh* The blogginess will probably be updated almost everyday to. Since keeping busy is a big thing right now. Just gotta keep my mind from wondering around in space to badly. Or I may get a little emotional. Having that trouble a lot lately. The recruiters walked by the bus the other day in uniform. I started bawling when Anna and Kadi started yelling, "Daddy!" Ack! I am having trouble right now. Well off to do some house work and get that blanket finished. Have fun for me!

Cool, It's a Box! (wk 52)

Well, Saturday was a rainy one. But, here in the sunny land of CA, it hasn't been so sunny. I was looking through a trunk of pictures in the garage, hoping to find at least one of Dave in highschool. THey seem to have all vanished. When the post man dropped in. He was terrified of the fuzzy one too. Jazz and Coz wouldn't do anything anyhow. But, hey he didn't know that. He had with a box from Dave. Full of goodies and presents for me! Yeah! Yes the Legos are for me . *sigh* I like legos ok! He sent the girls Candied pineapple. One of the few candies I don't mind them having so much. I am slowly turning into a health nut. But, that's a good thing right. If I wasn't allergic to half the plants on earth I would probably be a vegghead. Well, I finished 2 projects that I has on my hook. The batteries in my digital are dead so you'll have to wait until I get some later today to see them. The girls are doing well. Kadi keeps asking for daddy though. And Anna keeps asking when is next year. I don't cry anymore when they ask that. But. I am allowed to start my weekly count down now....soooo Week 52 has just begun. Everybody have fun! I am gonna go keep busy now.

Overwhelmed...

Well I guess it's time to clean and crochet until I forget. Dave is officially gone now. No surprise visits for me. *sigh* Only real emergencies can bring him home now. And we don't want those no matter how much I miss him. I am unable to make it to the gym right now. It's pouring! And I think strepp throat is looming it's scary head. Heidi I feel for you girl. Anna just got done with the nastier bits of the flu. Yeah, no more eye crusties. Thankfully Anna goes potty all on her own. She just wanted me to read her stories in the bathroom, LoL. Kadi appears to have escaped the horrible virus that had infected the whole house. We can only hope. Finishing off her teething is enough for me thankyou. I went back and read my blog, feel a little selfcentered right now. *blush* But, hey it is my blog right! LoL. Hope everyone is doing well! Here are some new photos! Have fun everyone!! Oh yeah I have like no hair right now...ack!

As If ThInGs WeReN't AlReAdY WeIrD eNoUgH..............

Ever felt so spaced out you forgot what you were doing? Yeah, well that happened to me today. Twice! I would be worried if I didn't already know the stress has been mounting pretty high lately. Going to the gym helps get rid of some of it. But, most of it is still there festering. Even though I had a moment of Zen , if you will pardon my loose use of the term. I had it today, the second time I forgot what was going on. I was stretching in the circuit room of the gym, and it hit me. I can't DO anything about it. I can't make the army NOT send Dave to Afghanistan. I can't make my sister suddenly and completely well again. I can't make my parents young again. And I can't make my father in law not be a jerk anymore. So why am I so stressed about any of it? Because , I am a worry wart, that's why. But, it isn't healthily. At all. So I am going to focus on the things I can control. My weight. My health. And my kids. Well, I kind of have them in control...I think. I am working on some new idea for my next body art. It is gonna be a very large piece. I can't wait to post some sketches. Have fun all!!!!

What a Day.....

Ever just had one of those days? Well I had one today. At it started at 3 am. Anna woke up screaming. Her eyes were crusted over! EEEWWW!!!! I cleaned them off an gave her some mortin to take the edge off her fever. It took only a few minutes to get back to sleep. But, and hour later Kadi woke up. Time to play, mommy!! So I up at 4 am for the day. *sigh* At 7 am I called the Doctors for an appointment for Anna. Very lucky they had an opening for 9 am. Caught the bus, which was thankfully on time. Then headed to the city bus for the doctors office. Got that one just fine. I barely made it in time. Then Waited until 11 for Anna to be seen. *sigh*. Kadi screaming the whole time to destroy the office. Finally the Doctor came in. Said she had conjunctive and gave her a shot. With a prescription for eyedrops. I got tot he bus stop only to have it drive right by. We got to walk 2 miles. Well I did. Anna rode on my back. When we stopped to get the eyedrops they were 3 times what they should've cost. Now I don't have enough for diapers!! We had to wait 2 hours for the bus to pick us up afterwards to go home. And Kadi still wont take a nap! AH!!! Okay I feel better now. Let off a little steam. The good things. Anna is just fine. Nothing serious. Kadi is fine. Just a little brat. And Dave is great, his stitches are out, and he is IMing me everyday. Well have fun all!!!

Does anybody understand?

Now I am just going crazy. I love to work out. I have only been able to go every other day. My in laws are just not caring that there is even a problem. At least my kids are behaving. Dave un fortunately can not come and help out. But, that is not his fault right now. I thought I was being selfish for focusing on myself for a bit. Now I realize I am not. After seeing what real selfishness looks like. Oh my goodness!!! I have never seen anyone have this little regard for others well being. He is trying to take everything. He took one of the two ice cube trays. The fact that he actually called my mother in law "hun." and "babe." today almost broke the camels back. I was good I didn't yell at him. I didn't talk to him actually. Am I allowed to be this angry though? He agreed to help dave and I out. And now when Dave can not do anything about it he is abandoning us. I am most upset about how upset this has made Dave. He is so worried. I can hear it over the phone when I talk to him. *Sigh* Oh well can't do anything about any of it right now. I have my afghan about half finished which is saying something with everything that is going on. I have my camera back so will post some pictures soon. Miss everybody. Have fun for me!!!!!

Geeze... what the...

Now first of all I apologize to those of you I haven't been able to call. This week has been hectic to the point of throwing crap out the window. My Inlaws are having troubles. Which sucks since I live with them. I can also hear everything they were yelling about because the walls are paper thin and now Anna won't talk to her grandpa. The girls hear him too. Won't get it to all of it. But, suffice it to say Friday he decided to spring up and move out. Which really sucks, cus he's taking the bills he paid. Actually not the bills, just the money. Mommy-in-law and I will be ok. Just unable to do much. I am so mad I could spit nails!!! And to top it off I haven't been to the gym in 3 days, so i can help butt monkey get his stuff outta the house. And make sure he doesn't steal mom's!! Oh well I feel a little better. Got to go! Have fun all!

Oh so SpAcEy today...

I am so spaced out today. I have had a migraine for most of the day. Had an appointment with my trainer today. It went pretty well. Just kinda spaced out for half of it. Kadi is finally getting the last of her teeth. Hopefully she gets them quick. She screams when she is awake. So I am glad she is sleeping. Anna has stopped listening almost completely. She keeps asking for Dave. Can't do anything about though. She should settle in after awhile though. I hope so. Loosing weight pretty quick too. I am very happy about that. Well have fun!!

So Sore...

Okay Dave leaves by the end of this week. I am good though. I have lost 7 lbs since last week! Yeah! I am working on getting my New Years list filled out. I do weight training every other day now. And Cardio every day. And although I am getting sick of Apples, the diet seems to be working. My trainer and I have a new goal set up. To get to my Army weight in 4 months. That's fifty lbs! But, I think I can do it. Especially if I can keep this up. My shoulders hurt really bad right now. The bus ride is gonna suck today. I have to carry Kadi while on the bus. And she likes the bus, but hates having to sit still. So she climbs all over me. Hey I can deal with the ten minutes it takes to get there right. I have been doing it for a week. I think I will be okay. The girls love the day care room there. Anna asks every morning when we are leaving. LoL. I like taking out my stress on something. Keeping in bottled up was starting to really get to me. Well off to get the day together. Have fun!!!

Dang, what a week end.

Okay, here we go. My tests, all of them were negative. Happy dance. Dave came for a visit! Now here's where it starts getting bad. He called at 7:30 Am on Friday, from a hospital in Bakersfield, CA. He flipped the car 4 times! He is okay. Only 6 stitches on the side of his head. We lost about a 1/4 of our DVD's, no biggie. And his new lap top got run over by a jerk who drove right by the accident without stopping. I am glad Dave didn't go after it. The guy probably would have run him over. He left today. About an hour ago to be exact. And that will be the officially the last time I see him until he gets back from Afghanistan. I haven't been to the gym in 3 days. But, I am going tomorrow in the morning, early. Time to focus on making myself into what I want. And focusing on what I want and need out of myself. And getting Anna school ready for next year. My migraines were getting better. But, I have a really bad one today. I am going to miss him so badly. Well, I get going. Have fun....

How is every little thing....

Hello everybody. I am slowly going insane. No word from the doctor yet. But, I guess no news is good news. I joined a gym Friday. I have been working out everyday. I remember why I used to do it. It's fun. Dave will be coming home for the weekend. I miss him alot. Oh well talk to you later.

Hello everyone....

Hey every one. Still in medical limbo out here. Just hoping to get test results. What takes so long anyway. Is it really a stress test in disguise? If so I think I am failing miserably. The girls are driving me crazy. The only time I get alone is when they are asleep. Right now I am stopping every other sentence to keep Kadi out of the videos. And Anna from yelling at her. Oh well, love them anyways. My precious little demons. LoL. But, I guess I can go to wal-mart and see how other children act and feel good about mine, huh. Well everyone have fun for me. Hugs to all.... I miss Dave... *sigh*

Hi Everybody

Hello once again. I am going through some medical issuses. I hope to have them resolved soon. Don't want to worry anyone so I won't post what it is until we're sure. I am fine right now. Hope everyone is doing well. Love you all.

Hey

Hey everybody. I have had a rough day. A really rough day. Had some stressy moments. But, I think I am ok now. Not sure but, I think so. Hope you are all doing well. Have fun.

Hello People

Well Heidi reminded me to post my resolutions. *sigh*

* Save money up for a trip with Dave when he gets back.
* Loose 60-80 lbs before he gets back. I have almost 13 months I should be good on this one.
* Take at least 2 classes at the JC here...and finish them!!


Well thats all i have got. But, since there are only 3 I should be able to do them right? I hope so. I hope every one is doing great. I am doing as well as can be expected. Have fun!!!

So Tired

I haven't slept for than an hour each night in about a week. Hopefully exhaustion will take over soon. I miss Dave a whole lot. He is doing ok. He hates the barracks though. We still don't know when they're are leaving. But, it is soon. The girls are still adjusting. Which means they are both being brats. But, I guess that was to be expected. Well i hope ya'll have a good day.

Bored, Bored, Bored

Hello again everybody. Well I had a great New Years, hope ya'll did too. I got to spend the weekend in Vegas with Dave. that was great. Crowded but, great. I got all my xmas presents finished on time. Surprisingly. And everybody loved them. Just writing to let you know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Love ya'll. Bye.

Well....

Hello... To all the people I haven't called yet I am sorry. But, I cant afford it right now. It costs over $20 to call the next town over. Give me a week I will call. Promise!!! Over Christmas weekend Dave is going to take us to his parents house. That's where we will be until he gets back. Well at least that gives me time to get some stuff together. I can finish up my diet while he is gone. My only worry about the girls and I is I still don't drive well. I have to get my license renewed. I learned how to drive in Hinesville , GA. For those of you that have been there you understand. I haven't driven since May. I need to practice. And Dave expects me to drive on the freeway (highway)!!!! I think the I will know all the places the bus goes LOL. Oh well enough complaining , back to making Christmas presents!! Bye.

teehee

Guess what.....

Well, Dave is getting sent to Afghanistan. We don't know for how long yet. But, we will find out soon. I am going up to Santa Rosa to stay near his parents. Thought I would tell somebody. Thought it might make me feel better... It doesn't.

Hello people from a tiny room in the desert...

Hey happy people. Well we are pretty much set up in guest housing now. The front desk fixed our room so my computer works well now. But, I have no USB cable to download new pictures. Sorry. Fort Irwin is in Southern Cali about 30 minutes from Barstow. The nearest town. It really is in the middle of nowhere. But, I like it. It is only a 5 hour drive to his parents house. SO that will be fun at Christmas. Well I got go and decide what to make for dinner bye!

hey people!

OK now we're in guest housing at Irwin. ONly have a few minutes!! Love you all!! Have fun!

Hello !!!

Okay I am at Dave's parents house right now. The drive was actually very fun. I will post pictures when I can down load them. It took us five days to go from Atlanta, GA to Santa Rosa, CA. It was some much fun. Anna and Kadi behaved very well for kids trapped inside a car all day. Kadi cut 5 teeth since we landed in the states to. Well off to have more fun. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Holy Crap I am still up....

Ok leaving tomorrow... Finished packing for the trip .... I think. But, putting the laptop up soon. Will be gone for a little. Have fun!! YEAH!!! We're leaving yippie!

Cleaning Day!!!

I have to go clean today. *sigh* At least we are done painting. We ran out of paint! I have to scrub everything! I am going crazy. Tomorrow we clear housing. FINALLY! Then we have to start getting our stuff together to leave! Just ahhh!!!! Ok I feel a little better. It's the fact that I have to take the girls with me to clean. But, although I babysat all my friends kids. They won't help me at all. I had one at least admit she just didn't want to rather than make up an excuse. I am waiting for kadi's nap time so she will just pass out. And I will see if I can get Anna to help a little. To keep her from getting bored. There is nothing over there now. I am going crazy. Oh well have fun all! Off to work I go!

Hello all!

I believe I may have the prettiest little girls.. Hmm.. Maybe .. LoL. *SMILE*

Here Ya Go!!!

Well here you go here are some finished Projects. And the beginning of a new one! The first one is Anna's new shirt. She loves it. Keeps sneaking it on while I am not paying attention! LoL.










Oh the scrunchies! I am almost out of bandies. I sent the first 20 I made on with hold baggage these are the ones I made in this last week. I am making these for Christmas presents. Thanks for the Idea Heidi!! Love you!








Here is the beginning to my new project. A large Afghan I am doing. This is what the inner squares will look like! I am very excited about this one! Have fun all!

A Really Bad Day......

Ever had a day so bad you want to roll up into a ball and cry yourself to sleep? I have had one. And I can't even talk about it. I am so alone.....

I Figured It Out!

Yeah!! I figured out how to put some photos up. Took me long enough, right. Well the last post is Kadi and Anna. The tiny picture is them with Dave. These are Dave and I. Isn't he so cute. I started and finished a shirt for Anna yesterday. I will post pics of it when we get the film developed and get our scanner back. Around Dec. LoL. I have half a ball of Plum Berry left, a very little ball of Burgundy, and a small ball of Monet. It is not going to last til the 11th. I already have plans for it. We are staying at a friends house right. We have no blankets at the house any more. Had to turn them in! I have to rewash all our clothes they got dumped on the dirty floor at our house. But, that's ok. I don't mind. Took Kadi and got her 12 month shots yesterday. *OUCH!* She's doing alright though. Well off to do laundry. Have fun!

pics

AGAIN!!

Okay they did it again. Now they are actually going to pick us up from the airport. Whether they want to or not. I can't wait to get this over with. Only 12 more days left now. We still have to paint the house ( on the inside). And clear housing and post but, I am not really worried about that. Just a little stressed right now. I can't even have tea now. I have no pots or coffee cups. *cries* I am slowly running out of yarn. I am afraid I won't have any when we go on the long car ride. Kadi, and Anna are doing well. Even though Anna is bored out of her mind. Not much left to do. But, tomorrow is Halloween! The gooey sticky candiness..... ahh crap I can't have any! *sobs* Oh well, at least it will be fun right....

ACK!!!

Okay. Once again plans have been changed!! We meet my parents in Macon. I have no clue what we're doing after that. Besides staying in a motel before we head out. I don't know if we are going home to visit Hinesville before heading off to Cali. At this point I just want to get the trip over with!!! So On Nov 11th guys I will be gone for a while give me a week or so to find a decent internet connection ok. I just wish I knew what was going on. It would make me feel much better. Kadi already downed a jar of peach cobbler this morning. She is watching TV with a bottle of water right now. I have to go get MORE baby food today. . Hold baggage goes today. Then all we have to get ready for is the trip. I am trying to keep it down to two bags. I really don't think we can. I have a feeling I will be throwing stuff away when we get there. And at that point I will not be a happy camper! I am so mad right now I can't see straight! I can't find any of the paperwork from the big move!! Okay, breathe.... I hope it is in the car.
Anna was the BIGGEST brat last night. I am not going in to it. But, we had fun at kid zone before we got home. Kadi even got to play on the playground! It was great Well on that happy note... Off I go!

Morning, Morning, Morning!

Well, this morning is all good so far. Kadi Had a jar of blueberry buckle for breakfast. Along with some cheerio's. She is down for her morning nap. So far she still isn't drinking out of her cup but, she drinks about 5 -nine ounce bottles a day! At least she is well hydrated. I started giving her bay vitamins this morning. Anna is going stir crazy because there are so few toys. (about 6) And I only kept out a few of her videos. I only let her watch one or two movies a day. And blues clues, and Cailluo. I need to find some veggie tales DVD's she loves Larry. I will do that when we get home. Which now we will be doing. Before we were going to leave straight from Atlanta, now we will be leaving from Hinesville. I can't wait to see everyone. Well I am off to finish up the final layer on my candy corn jello!! Have fun all!!

Day 2.....

Once again we will be trying to get Kadi off the bottle. Yesterday. I finally got her down to just water in it. But, she still wouldn't even try her cup. She also went from 3 jars of food to 6! So at least she isn't going to have any health assuages over it or loose weight. It's 6:30 AM. This is when she usually has her first bottle of the day. It is now going to be replaced with breakfast. I need to start Anna getting up early soon to. I just can't seem to get the sleep out of my eyes though. Also I have no coffee. We have to work on getting rid of stuff. I use splenda (NO SUGAR) in my coffee and the only way they sell It here is in one pound bags. So I can't get any more until AFTER we leave. I think I am getting caffeine tweaks. They come and get the last of our stuff Friday. Which means we will have no blankets left. Two pillows, and a rather large overstuffed Tigger left over for bedding. We hope to sleep at some else's house when that happens. I am making Jello candy corn cups for the Unit Halloween party, which is also this Friday. I need to quit stalling and get them done. And all the cheerio bars I was volunteered to make. At least someone will eat them then. This morning will be Dutch apple dessert for Kadi, and Breakfast burritos for everyone else. ( got eggs to get rid of) Well off to down about a liter of water and see if it wakes me up. Love ya! Have fun!

What A Day!

Today was an OKAY day. I guess. The 3 hours I got to spend with some friends helped out a lot. I am going to take the girls to the Playground in a little while. As soon as I get my brain straight. My main trouble today. Kadi. She is 12 months old. I can't get her to take a cup. No matter what I do she won't even try it! It's driving me nuts! ARGH! And if I hear one more Doctor say it shouldn't be that hard I am going to scream. You know these people don't have kids right. Well almost all our stuff for the trip is packed. I am trying to keep it down to as little as possible. At least I don't have much to clean. LoL. Okay enough complaining. I had a wonderful time at my friends Trish's house. She, Leilani, Jennifer, and I just sat and talked. We let the kids play and swapped stories forever. It was great I hope we can do it again before I leave I don't think I am ever going to see them again after. Which makes me very sad. Well, off to work I go. Love ya. Have fun!

Scrunchies Everywhere!

Good morning all. This morning I have been packing. Whittling down the piles and piles of clothes around the house. Almost completely done with that now. Yeah!! We leave on the 11th! Yippie! I have made 12 Scrunchies since Heidi gave me the idea. I like them because I don't need a pattern! I am just making stuff up. Well at least I will have Christmas presents to give out this year. LOL. Off to make breakfast I go. Have fun!

ALL THE STUFF IS GONE!!!!

Well they came and got our stuff Wednesday. The house is achingly empty. Anna and Kadi love it. We hope to go to Lusizenne Park tomorrow. As long as it's nice. I have made 10 scrunchies. I am going to finish all the little hair bands I bought. Well, I am getting sleepy and I have to get up early tomorrow.

*YAWN*

Well they changed the pickup date to the 19th but that's ok with me. It is all going pretty smoothly though. I have a head cold. I am pretty sure everybody here has one. We're cleaning junk for pick up now. Almost done. And the glory of ziplock bags man. Almost everything little in our household goods is sorted with them. I have organized my jewelry with them The only thing I am upset about right now is I can't stop by Hinesville before we head to Cali. We won't be able to. Got to get there as fast as possible. That sucks I wanted to see everybody. Just have to wait until next time. His parents haven't seen Anna since she was 3 months, and they have never seen Kadi. SO they get priority. I am starting on some scrunchies tonight. I got the idea from my friend Heidi. I am going to start on them after I finish the laundry. Urgh. Well Gotta go see ya!

Living Among The Boxes

There are more than 10 boxes in each room of our apartment now. We have a moving inspection tomorrow and I am not even close to having the house clean enough for inspectors to come and look at all this junk. Dave is at work and they won't let him come help me. The girls are being decent today, but they can't really do anything because of all the boxes! I still have to go through all their toys to see which ones are going to be shipped and which ones to give away!! AHHHH! Okay I feel a little better. Gotta go get back to work!!!

I Hate Strepp Throat

Ever wake up in the morning with a throat that feel full of sand? Well I got one this morning. I am slowly getting even more junk together. I didn't realize how much stuff we had. Kadi's birthday was pretty fun. Have to head on over to the WIC office today get transfer papers going. I am going to take the girls out to lunch to. Hope they eat well today. I also hope the EXCEDRIN kicks in soon. I feel all blurry and stuff. I have been crocheting butterflies lately just cus I can. They're so cute! I wish the girls would give me like 10 spare minutes but that's not to be. Well see you later!

It's Kadi's Birthday!

Good morning. I have to get completely awake so I can start breakfast. I haven't decided what I am making yet though. I made Kadi a safari cake. I hope she likes it. We haven't gotten her a present yet though. Waiting until we get home for that. We got a whole lot done this week end. Over 10 boxes have been filled. LOL. We ran out of boxes. Self help isn't open until Thursday so no more packing for me until then I guess. Well off to clean and cook. Bye.

And Off We Go Again

Morning all. We got 7 boxes packed yesterday. Yeah! We're trying to get as many as possible done before the movers get here. And at this rate we may be done! We are slowly working our way through the storage room now. I didn't realize how much junk we have. Oh well going to make some coffee and start shifting more crap!!! Bye.

A Late Wake Up

Dave is home today. Training holiday. That is the army's way of giving the soldiers four day weekends. So today we can get a lot more done. I hope. We still have to go through the storage room that's up here and the one downstairs. I have a buttload of laundry left to do and Dave still isn't up yet. That sounds normal. Well I hope I can get stuff done today. Hope everyone is having a good time with everything they have to do as well. Blessings!

Here We Go

Morning.... Yawn. Still need some coffee. I have so much crap to do it isn't even funny! We have to get the computers moved to our bed room so they don't get taken until hold baggage on the 28th and not on the 19th. I have to go through the kids toys and pick out what to take with us. I have got to call my friend today and ask her to baby sit. So I don't have munchkins under foot. I have to pick out the yarn I am taking with me. Have to go through the medicine and pick out what I am going to take for the kids. And the DVD's which ones I think the kids would enjoy on the car trip. We're taking my laptop so at least can write on the way there. Dave has a butt load of magazines that I have to go through and throw out half of them, at least. Does anyone really need a stuff magazine that doesn't even have anyone cute in it that is, wait for it, 5 years old! AAAHHH!!! I am supposed to pick out 2 books to take with me. Just so overwhelming. I have to do like 5 loads of laundry today. All I got Dave to do last night was clear the floor in our bedroom...Which I did most of. And I got him to bag the trash. Which is still in the kitchen. He has headcount today, which means he won't be home until after 7! Well got to get to work!!

All done

I am finally done scanning all those pictures. We have over a 1,000! That is ridiculous. We have an appointment with transportation today. That means they will tell exactly what day they will come and get our junk. I am slowly going crazy. I hate it here. I just.... Can't stand it much more. I need some more scream time. I need to just explode. Just once. Haven't been to a REAL concert in 6 years! I haven't performed in over 6. I know I sound so selfish. Sometimes I wonder if it is just time to give up.

Vent

We went to the park in Heidleburg yesterday. Dave had to go help his unit with some stuff. The movers are coming on the 15th and we haven't gotten anything ready. The stress is starting to pile now. I have almost al the pictures done. One more box of them and I am all done. We don't have anything sorted yet. And we have to sort everything into either hold baggage or household. Dave won't help. And the kids won't let me. Anna is watching and video right now and Kadi is taking a nap. I just felt like venting before I explode. I am going to play some music loud today and start sorting. I have to call babysitters for moving day now. I already had my coffee and I can still feel that migraine coming on. Wonder what is going to happen now. Nothing feels right. I want to sing...

Head ache relief

Went out for about 3 hours last night and hopped around the rock room at the cove. Feel a little bit better. Screaming as loud as I can makes some of the pain goes away. The pressure released a little. I am almost through scanning pictures. We still have to go through all this crap to see what we are taking with us. The movers will be here on the 15th. I don't think we're going to be done in time. The kids are driving me nuts. Don't know if I can handle everything that I have to right now. Getting everything straight is just so hard. And I seem to be doing it all by myself. Well, got to go now.
