Oh mi gods!!!!! This means any day now...an we were told friday! Dave will be home Friday! And it looks like a toy bomb blew up in my living room! AHHHHH! :P
Well the time is drawing to a close ...finally. I am hating his unit here more and more. I have told them over an over again that my job is brand new an understaffed. I will not be able to get two weeks in a row off. Not in a million years. They keep telling me they have to understand. No they don't people, that's why it's called a probationary period. If they think you're not going work out, they fire your ass. An two weeks of leave all of a sudden that they don't have the man power to cover ...yeah, their gonna fire my ass. And I really like my job too...sigh. I can't seem to get them to understand this. The soldiers can't seem to understand that most of their kids have missed more than 5 days of school so that two weeks of leave will be spent right here at home any ways. No vacations...since we can't leave. The kids will fail. I hate this unit..I really do Fort Irwin Sucks. May not be able to get the girls enrolled in daycare either for his reintegration classes either which I am not happy about. But oh well. Well Dave re-enlisted on Sunday an we are going back to Germany in July we are hoping for 11th Sig Det again we both loved it there. And it is really far from here. I can't wait till he gets home!!!! Enough complaining back to house work.....*HUG* HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!
Everything has been looking good. Going really well...if slow. Job is doing well. Having to put Anna an Kadi into day care for the duration of Dave's reintergration classes an that sucks since there are all sorts of classes an crap I have to do for them. An this morning Kadi ate a form I now have to go see if I can find someone to reprint for me since or ink cartridge is still dead an the PX doesn't have our kind here.....stupid aafes....*grumble* Hoping to get to my WIC appointment on time an STILL quailifily for it since I have my job now. Lets all pick a deity an pray......the littlbe bit it saves amonth really helps people it does. My Pagan mommies meeting went great!! They were so much fun! :D best part of my week end. I am planning on putting Kadi in part time day care for my sanity.... Let me tell you a story on Sunday RIGHT before my pagan mommies meeting...... Kadi pooped in daiper...... that isn't the best part. She took the daiper OFF...an spread it ALL OVER HER FLOOR!!!! I had to bathe her four times to get it all off of her. Wash her floor, and bed 6 times WITH BLEACH!!! And and the things on her bed outside in the yard before I could put them in the washing machine.....an I washed them there in hot water an colorsafe bleach about 10 times. She screamed ALL weekend..... Monday she sneezed.....YARN came out....so I took her to the ER so they could look in there with a pen light just to make sure nothing ELSE was in there..... The nice Lt. Flushed her sinus cavity 3 beads an a barbie shoes people! They then gave the baby an x-ray. Ok nothing else is in there..She has been screaming at me since LAST thrusday(me and the babysitter) non stop.... 10 solid months of this is enough....I know it will take half my paycheck...but I am putting her in day care....they can have her before I kill her..... I can't take it anymore!
Well another good week at work. And I am FINALLY DONE with all that paper work. All I have to say is all the people in little red shirts, on this post...completely safe to leave your kids with....INTERNATIONAL background checks people...going back 7 years!!! Places I have lived, worked, an peole I knew for each. An people I knew covering the years I was unemployed. Yeah. Fun. I hate paperwork....alot..... Time is still going by so slow....The lady who owed me babysitting money ...even after I bugged her every day for frigging 6 months left oweing me $50. So I am not happy about that. But, I can't do anything about that. At least she's gone. I will miss my boys though. No time to crchet except on the weekends I am to darnned tired. We are hoping to have a pagan mommy get together here this weekend. Hope it works out. I really do. The house isn't any closer to getting cleaner but, I don't care at the moment. :P Just to tired to care you know. Well you all take care.....
I have had a decent week a work so far. I am reeeeaaally tired. My house looks horrible. But I will be off this weekend though so I will have time to fix it. It's looking like the guys will be home in around a month..or so. But, that's how the Army works...see I told you. :P I like my job, it's not very long, but I get to say hi to the kids that go by. An I get at least a 3 hour break from Kadi a day. YAY!!! I also am walking around 4-5 more miles a day....OW! My legs hurt so much. Oh well I wanted to loose MORE weight..it's coming off...but oh so S .... L...O.....W.....! Jeeze....not much crocheting going on..hoping to get some done tonight...but that depends on if I pass out early...*YAWN!* Hope you are all doing well... The job os doing it's job though....time is going by a little bit faster..while I am not paying attention...
Well posting a day early...since tomorrow is UBER full. Got walking group, a doctors appointment, Anna get's out early ...THEN J is giving me a ride to Victoville so I can get a physical to start my job. I a,m going to start Friday *I hope*. I am going to be a crossing gaurd for Anna's school. But, instead of using the hospital right here I have to go an hour away to get one. Stupid people. Oh well. Time is going but it seems to be going so slow to me. I know it is going faster than I think. But, it isn't fast enough for me. Hope everyone is doing well.
We're doing really well so far.... Lost a little more weight. I need to get a few more boxes to add to the four I bought for Kadi's room. They are working wonders on the midnight toy throwing problem that she has developed over the last ten months of Dave being gone. Gonna get some for Anna's room to I believe. We began walking group again Monday so that should help me out a little bit on the weight loss front. Working on a afghan from a pattern(yes me using a REAL pattern) it is taking for EVER. Hoping to finish it before Dave gets home. I can't wait to be me again. I can't wait to be a family again. I miss him so much..... Time needs to hurry up....I am tired of being alone.....
Holy cow two months at most! I need to deep clean the house! Just cause I don't wanna have to clean for the first two weeks Dave is home besides the surface!!! Oh gods, Time needs to hurry up now!! Two months...just two months...... I miss him so much......
I have this on several friends blogs. So I shall hop on this band wagon.

I almost sent up a flag of happiness on that one. We went on a walk. * mostly to feed someones cat* Which we must do again today. Well I have to get more crap done. Like decide if I should walk to the persons house an feed kittiness an then to px an call a cab home. Or see about a ride to said places. I dont know. I am going crazy. But, I am hitting th stretch now. YEAH!!!! But I am sure it's gonna go slower now....

Well everything is doing fine I guess. I have a Doctors appointment today will be hanging out with D, an then going to the movies with J. So at least it should be fun if hectic. We are about to head into the single digits for the weeks here so I am happy about that. I am hoping that the ARMY takes the earlier end. I always take the other. It's safer. I also sta vague anyways. But, it is getting so close yet still so far. D also is waiting on hers. I have all my shopping done. But thats more because I have no money than because I dont want to buy anything else. next year I will be starting yarn projects early(4 in particluar) to make sure they are done by now. :P Tara I miss you!! Happy Holidays all if I don't get to you! And Blessed Yule!
Well less than 3 months to go now. I can do this. I can, I have to. Next month I should begin work as a crossing gaurd in front of the school. So I should be getting a decent amount each month extra.

Ok once again my stress level is way above what it should be. A bill I thought I got rid of last month pulled from my account so now I may have to return my girls christmas to Wally World....... yeah...happy holidays. If the lady I used to baby sit for would just pay me this would not be a problem........
Another week behind me. Went to a veterans toy give away were the officers showed up an took the majority of the good toys before poor little broke wives could get there. But the girls are happy that's all that matters. Deciding when to pull all the crap outta the storage room so I can get to the tree. I am buying two strings of lights for outside thats it. I have to budget hard this month so I can get all the stuff for christmas for the girls. A grand doesnt stretch far when you have to cover everything. Oh well. I will deal. Hope everyone is doing well.
