VENT

I have come to realize that non-military people are just plain different. I really miss living close to a base right now. I guess I am just having a bit of a pity party for myself. I am feeling like a fish out of water I have lived here for almost a year and have met some nice people but none that compare to my “spouse” counterparts. I tell you I really miss everyone and there is something to be said about civilians who live in a military community. I love Donte recruiting because he does come home every night but why oh why can’t he recruit closer to a base. Where I can go to the gym and see others that are going through what I am going through versus a mom that has 5 kids is 24 and is complaining because the nanny made the formula 2 degrees warmer than it should have been…..my response is are you serious???? Try being the Mom that never sees her husband and is juggling just as many kids without a nanny and doesn’t complain because she is blessed to have what she has and is grateful for the chance to have a life like she has. Now I am not saying everyone around here is walking around with their heads up their hineys…….but there are quite a few. OK I’m done….gonna put a smile back on my face and push on :0)

O Days Left

I got my surprise. I honestly thought that it was going to be the new Kodak Printer that I had been eyeing since November. It came out in March so I though oooooh how sweet of Donte to remember. As you all know I have been sick for the past two weeks battling what I call the CRUD!! Saturday after the boys’ game we came home and I went into veg out mode. The boys went next door to Americas to play with Alyssa and I took a nice warm bath, put my PJ’s on, and settled into a little bit of scrap booking. Earlier that day I received Flowers, a Teddy Bear, and some Candy….ooooh I love it but I couldn’t get a hold of Donte to say thank you. I had received a text saying that he was going to be super busy all day and would call around 830 that night. The boys ran back over to the house to get a game to play and then ran back over to Americas. Then the front door open and I thought it was the boys coming back to get another game………IT WAS DONTE. He graduated early and was home for good…..OMG can I just say that I was in complete shock….partly because it takes a lot to surprise me….at the same time the back door opens and in run Donnie and Dannie. They had seen him pull in and before my brain could register anything they were in his arms. Can I just say that, that was the best surprise ever!! It feels so good to have him home. As for the crud I went to the doctor on Monday and he said that I have a “Super Bacterial Infection”. Ummmmm OK what’s that (those are my exact words) to make a long story short I have many different bugs that are all attacking my system….ohhh the joys of working in an elementary school. But I am taking my meds and feel so much better….I am sure that having Donte home is a huge part of feeling better too. I am going private on Monday so get me your e-mails :0)

Going Private

After much though I am going private with this blog. If you are one of my readers please send me an e-mail or leave me a comment and I will add you to the list. I will be transitioning in the next week. Thanks :0)

UUUUUGGGGGGH

so I am still battling the crud. I can at least breathe today.....amazing I tell you. The boys both had a sleep over yesterday so I took full advantage and slept! I woke up this morning with the sun shining into my bedroom. After all the gloomy, snowy days it is a welcome change. Our high will be in the 40's tomorrow....I hate to admit it but that's warm here. Anything over 0 is warm here. The dogs went out and played this morning.....they are southerners too and have been couped up with all the snow. After the boys get back I will be off to SAMS and Caputos to get some grub. I hate to admit but I haven't been grocery shopping in over a month....well I've picked up milk and stuff but no real food in a while. Lets hope that the meds keep me breathing until I get back!
