GOT TO LOVE THE FEMALE BODY

Ok everytime I hear this song it makes me giggle and dance around the house. My husband hates the song that in turn makes me play it even louder.

So this is for all you humpy lumpy ladies out there. Feel free to dance around your house and have fun with it.

I'M A BAD GIRL

Ok I've been pretty bad about blogging lately. We have been so busy around here. We have officially listed the house(will post the link as soon) to get the word out. However it is listed Temp. off market until we can get it de cluttered and looking like a model home. You know it looks like someone lives there but never uses anything all day long. That should be easy right? (3 kids 2 dogs 3 cats + 1 brother) We had a great Christmas and New Year caused a little trouble in the neighborhood for New Year, oh well it wouldn't be a party if there was no trouble being caused. The kids have been sick for the past 3 days so that's always fun, husband's work (US ARMY) being a pain in the ass also. It wouldn't be the Army if they weren't. We've just been working on the house filling in holes and touching up paint and cleaning. We put up crown molding in the Library and living room (that was fun. We have weaned the dogs off sleeping in their crates @ night they are doing great no problems. We have moved Taylor into a toddler bed she was climbing out off the crib. She is doing better than I was expecting. She's only gotten out one time and fell asleep by her door and when I went to check on her I hit her in the head with the door. Oops. After that no probs. Alex is doing great in school she has been out for the two days due to having stomach issues (yeah me)! Curtis is, well a male (need I say more)? So it's official we are moving to PA and the report date in no later than Aug 06. Hubby goes to school from April-June which leaves me to sell and buy a house, all with hoping that we don't sell to early and have no place to live until hubby gets back at the end of June. Hopefully I won't have to deal with the movers all by myself. Yuck I hate moving. I hope this post finds everyone with a great start to their New Year.

P.S Yeah Desperate Housewives is back.
P.S.S Snarkwife I'm going to miss your recaps. LOL!!!!!!

LONG DAYS AHEAD MORE TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU REARRANGE THE LETTERS IN SANTA YOU GET SATAN!!!!!!!!! (well isn't that special)

Ok so I have decide if we have to move I better start getting rid of stuff that I didn't even know it existed. I started with the pantry and kitchen yesterday, so far I have a box and 2 trash bags full of stuff I was keeping (the reason is unknown), next on the chopping block is the kids rooms and clothes I'm getting rid of all the clothes and shoes that no longer fit them. They hate when I do this because I make them try on everything to make sure it doesn't fit them anymore. Then on to the toys that are broke or don't work anymore. I really hate Christmas when it comes to this. My kids all ready have enough toys why do they need SANTA to bring them more right? Well not to get off subject, but SANTA isn't bringing them that much this year. That's not to say relatives aren't. They are each getting 1 thing from their list to SANTA. I asked them if SANTA can only bring one thing from your list what is the one you want the most. Then I got them 2 things from mommy and daddy, and a few stocking stuffers to track back to the one toy they are getting from SANTA. My husband has been home a lot and not traveling for awhile. He was able to pick up a little 97 Acura for 1500.00 which has helped out with the gas situation. I feel bad for my Tahoe, she just sits there in the drive way. Unless we have to take all the kids with us. We have gotten some snow around here and they are calling for some more on Thursday, well rain and snow mixed which is the worst. Sorry for all the bouncing around it's one of them days.

Well that's all for today kiddies.

DROPPING A BOMB

Ok talk about dropping a bomb. The military has decided that it's time for us to move. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! (right) My husband was able to get a hold of the guy that does the reassignments for CID . He gave us a few options.

1. Ft Polk LA
2. Carlisle Barracks PA
3. Aberdeen Proving Grounds MD
4. Ft Lee VA
5. Ft Meade MD
6. Ft Rucker AL
7. Ft Hood TX
8. Ft Monmouth NJ

SO we have been busy doing research. Here is what we came up with.

Ft Rucker (there is no way I can live in AL) reminds me of home.
Ft Lee and Ft Meade were dependent on another person which every one he chose we would get the other. (Too much risk in that)
Aberdeen Proving grounds too expensive
Ft Monmouth BAH rate is 2138.00 (need I say more)
Ft hood (ha ha now that's just too funny)
So that leaves us with Carlisle Barracks. Which is about 3 hours from where we live now. So when it comes to moving all the kids and animals it just makes since. With it being 3 hours tops away from here means I can still keep in touch and visit the friends we have here.
And the #1 reason
HERSHEY PARK yes will we will be living really close to Hershey PA.
ok not the real #1 reason but hey it's up there. Target, Olive Garden, A mall, Skiing, car shows. So off to the races for us. We are now waiting on dates so we can begin the process that is called PCS. We are taking a trip up there Sat. to check things out and see if we can afford to buy a house or live on post.

until Later

WHAT A WEEK

Well I know I haven't posted for a week now. It really doesn't have to do with my HUSBAND BEING HOME really, ok maybe a little. However things have been crazy around here with the weather change and kids getting sick and me trying to fight getting sick. So I guess I'll run down the week with you all. As we all know his flight was delayed 24 hours. 30 mins before I was suppose to leave to get to the airport I asked my oldest if she wanted to go and pick up daddy with me, she was so excited because she had no clue he was coming home. So we got in the car we left the house @ 1740 and got to the airport @ 2000. There was a ton of traffic and I went the long way. (there was a shorter way) We got there with 20 mins or so to spare which was fine because Alexandra and was bouncing off the walls and I don't know if I could have taken that in an airport for more than 30 mins.. We got home around 2330 that night. Friday it was up early to get Alexandra off to school. My husband found out on Friday that he was going to outprocess with CRC on Weds. Cool however CRC is in GA. So his flight left yesterday and comes home Friday. Try explaining that one to your kids, who think daddy is leaving them again. Which he almost didn't make it to the airport for the flight due to a late pick up(and traffic)from the service he uses to get him to the airport. The weather has changed. So we are all getting runny noses. I was really looking forward to not having to use gas or electric for a least a month but that isn't the case. We've had to turn the heat on. We keep it @ 62 though. In the morning it's programmed to heat up to 70 and cut off around 1000, when the sun starts to shine throughout the house. This weekend is going to be a long one. Alexandra is out of school Friday and Monday. We are getting ready for Halloween. We always do something big for the kids in the neighborhood. This year we have a pirate theme. We are turning our house into a ship and the yard into an island where the treasure in buried. It's so fun because all the kids no we always do something but this year we are waiting until Sunday evening to put anything up. So all the kids are trying to guess what we are going to be doing. My calendar for Nov is filling up quickly. My hubby is going to be taking pretty much all of Nov off for leave. Hopefully we won't want to kill each other by the time his leave is up. JK. Well the kids are yelling for me and the beds need to be made. So I'm off to the races if I can knock out the house work early I can lay around the rest of the day. I'm no feeling to well myself and I'm trying to fight it off. I figure if I keep moving it won't catch me, we'll see if that works.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me kind words of encouragement and those who have checked on me. Again I'm living proof that they do come home. I'm already looking back and saying WOW time flew by. Now on to the next step after the honeymoon is over we have to get back to normal.

More to come

0900

Got a phone call. He has landed in Germany, getting ready to board for the final flight. So far so good. I'm not crossing my fingers yet. I guess it's time for me to pick up the pace around here and put the final touches on a few things. Nothing special planned this time around. Maybe so dinner at his fav fast food rest. I really wanted to stay at a hotel. However with Alex having school tomorrow I don't have anyone who can get her off to school in the morning. Oh well.

Until Later

0540

OK it's 0540 here, one of the our dogs woke me so I came down to check my email. My hubby emailed me saying they made it to their next stop, he was getting on the plane in about an hour and it was 0300 my time. He also said he would give me a call when he got to the next destination. Don't know what time that will be. Well I'm back of to bed for about and hour, before it's time to get my daughter ready for school.

1900

Ok well it's 0500 where my husband is located and his flight was due to leave @ 0420. I haven't heard from him, so I'm assuming that he is in the air or on his way. I don't how many stops he has along the way, but I should be getting a call from when he lands in Germany. Well time to get everyone ready for bed.

1450

I haven't heard anything new. So I'm still going with the 20th. I did go today with my friend Angie and do a little shopping. Went down to The Frenchman's Cornerand picked up some wonderful Belgian Chocolate. That will last me oh about 2 hours if that. Went to The Jewelry Box I had 100.00 gift certificate to spend there so I bought my daughter a pair of earrings with money left over. So know I just wait to see if he makes it to Germany via who knows where.

STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

Ok here we go again. Starting today I plan on blogging quite a bit. My plan is to blog every time I here something about my husband's arrival. I think it will be kind of cool to look back later on down the line and see the emotions I went through and how many changes took place with the flights and everything else. Maybe the military can use this as an educational tool,they sure need something.
0730 received an email saying they seemed to everything squared away as of right now and will be arriving same time same place just a day late. So that make arrival Thursday the 20th @ 2015.
Stay tuned for more info.

WELL SO MUCH FOR BEING ON TIME

Well I just received word that my hubby's flight getting him to Germany got pushed back 24 hrs. So now I have no clue when he's coming in. He was suppose be in Weds. @ 8:30 pm. Now I guess I just wait. The bad thing is the airport he is arriving @ is 2 1/2 hours away. So it's not like I can wait until he is @ the airport to leave the house. That's the military way. They sure can get the troops over there with no issues, but getting them back they must have issues.


I will keep you posted.

Said I dig ya baby but I've got to keep moving on

Sitting here with nothing to do but I am one stop closer to you. Sounds
like a song. These were the first two sentences from an email I received from my hubby. It's official he has started his decent to the states. I went out last night to the local pub they had a local band playing called Kid Sister. They played a lot of Petty. I'm a huge Tom Petty fan, so it made my night. So for your listening enjoyment. So question of the day. If you've heard of Tom Petty which I know you have. What is your Fav song. Mine is American Girl Will post results later. Also I cut all my hair off as you can see by the pics below. Wasn't able to get as blond as I wanted to without damaging my hair more. Oh well it's just hair right?

By me a drink, sing me song, take me as I come cause I can't say long.
