Wow.......

has it been awhile since I have updated this thing. I honestly just forget about it and most things I post on facebook. But I know some that read this are not on facebook. Let me see if I can get everyone up to date on everything.

Chris has started pre k and has been for his first week. He loves it and always is excited when he gets to go back. He is gone from 8-3 and I take him and go pick him up. It is odd when Hay asks wheres Bubby and I tell her he is at school. I really miss him but it gives me that time with Hay and I am able to get alot of my errands done during the week.

We also got to go to Sea World last weekend with our good friends the Landreths. And we had an awesome time with them and their kids. Another couple was going but because we didnt know if the guys had to work it didnt work out for us to go with them. But they got to go on their own and had a good time also and I am really glad. And since we didnt get to go to Disney this month we are planning a trip with the Landreths for Nov-Dec. I am really looking forward to that because any one that knows me knows that Disney is my favorite place. 

Well, gonna go for now. Much love to you all......XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Got to thinking......

about alot of things actually. 


When you are a military wife it is hard to make friends. You move all over the place and if you dont work it is even harder. Being a military wife you need people to step in for your family. Alot of the times we get stationed where family cant come visit may it be because of financial reasons or maybe because they have to fly. So we need to surround ourselves with people who we can lean on and trust. I try to be that way with people I meet. I feel I am there for them in anyway they need me and in return I dont get the same treatment. This past year has showed me that. But through it I have met some awesome ladies who I feel I can count on. They are my coupon ladies...lol It has made me more cautious though when making friends but I will not change who I am. I like to help people in any way I can. I have always been that way. I often wonder if it is because I dont drink and party and all that. I was never one that got into that. I dont know I guess I am better off without those people in my life. 


I took Chris yesterday and got him registered for school. He will be our big Kindergardner in the fall. That will only leave Hay and me here. He is really looking forward to going. We were going to homeschool them but Chris really wants to go to school. So we are going to see how this year goes. How he does and if he will truly like it. I will miss him something awful but it will be good on him. Then I will have 2 years with Hay before she starts. Which I had 2 years with Chris before I had her.  That is why I am glad we had them 2 years apart. I can also start on my schooling which I cant wait to start. Get that out of the way and when Neil retires I can work fulltime. 


Our trip to Disney had to be postponed. Neil isnt able to take leave since there is so much going on. That is ok the weather is not all that warm right now. And I would rather wait until a little later anyways. We are going to Downtown Disney with some friends of ours later this month. That is how we get our Disney fix until we can actually go. 


My heart is breaking for some friends of mine. There were 2 friends from back home that lost their babies. One was 30 some weeks along and the other was 20. Suffering a loss like that is so devastating. I have lost 3 babies but they were early on which I thought was hard. But I could not even imagine what these ladies have went through. To carry your baby for that long feeling it move and hearing its heart beating and then to find out the baby didnt make it. It is something that I will never understand. How women who dont deserve or want to be pregnant and can get pregnant at the drop of a hat and have no problems. Then the ones that desire a child so bad cant have kids or they lose them. Losing a child is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. 


These were just some things that have been on my mind. Much Love to you All.......XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I know I am bad...

at remembering to update this blog. I get so much on my mind that I just dont think to write anything until I am going to bed.


I am doing ok after my surgery. It has been 3 weeks now and sadly I dont think that was what was causing my problem. I am not sure what the deal is. I do know that my case is being looked at my the Medical Chief since it doesnt seem like my PCM is getting anything done. It is so aggrevating to have something going on and no one can tell you what it is. I feel I should go on that show Medical Mystery. I am able to eat alot more then I was before so that is a plus.


I have met some really nice ladies who are also military wives. We are having a coupon party tomorrow at one of the girls house. I am really looking forward to it. Plus there will be alot of kids so Chris and Haylee will have playmates. Some of the girls just moved here and was really wanting to get into couponing. So they were wanting me to share some of my tips. I am willing to help anyone who really wants to learn.


Going to close for now. Much love to you all.......XOXOXOXOXOXO

Oh how I hate....

exercises with a passion. Neil's schedule gets messed up and I have errands to run and cant because he sleeps all day and then is gone all night. But since I cant sleep well at night it gives me a chance to get my coupon binder and stuff in order. That is when I work the best since the kids are asleep. I have had alot of ladies ask me about my binder and how I save so much money that I put pictures of my binder on my facebook page. I am by no means an expert at using coupons but I have taught myself a pretty good lot. 


Well, the exercise is finally over and I have my husband back. I know it could be worse he could be deployed but I do miss him not being here of a night. He is off today which gives him a 4 day weekend. Haylee and I are going later today with Miss Ashley and little Gracie for a girls day out. It has been awhile since I have had a girls day. I am also gonna help her learn how to shop at Rite Aid and so forth. I am really looking forward to it. Plus I will be looking for Haylee a bedding set. We have just decided to put her in the twin bed. So I am gonna let her pick out her bedding set. I was able to get us signed up for the Heroes at Home program with Sears this year so we were blessed with almost 200.00 in gift cards. So that is what I am gonna use. 


Well, I am gonna close for now. Gonna try and get me some sleep. Much Love To You All......XOXOXOXOXOXO

Well....

I dont want to jinx it but I think that I am feeling better then I did before I had the surgery. I have been able to eat more then what I was eating and things that I couldnt eat before. I go back tomorrow for my follow up with the surgeon and he should take me off restrictions. I do still have some tenderness but nothing like it was. And the stitches are almost all dissolved.


Neil is still working 12 hour shifts this week plus he is on nights. I hate when he works nights it seems I cant sleep. He is suppose to get off early tonight since he has to keep the kids tomorrow so I can go to my appt.


I cant believe that in 3 months my baby boy will be 5. Neil and I have decided that we will homeschool the kids. I feel alot better with that decision. Speaking of he is still wide awake which is ok he is good company.


Gonna cut this one short. Much Love To You All....................XOXOXOXOXOXO

Yes I am still alive.....

Well, for some reason the internet is not working so I am using Wordpad to write this on then when I get it to working I will copy and paste this to my blog. I have to say the internet has me puzzled as to why it isnt working. Everything is on and we are getting a signal. So I am hoping that it is back on in the morning. I am finally almost recovered from my surgery. And in good timing since Neil goes back to work. But Ashley said she would help as much as should could with the kids this week coming. I dont know what I would have done without her this past Monday. She kept the kids for us so Neil could be with me during my surgery. I didnt have to worry about them and they did real good for her. 


I am really hoping that we find out this week if we got orders. I guess when you do a BOP they only go over them a certain time of the month. I have never in my life heard of something so complicated. I am just ready for orders out of here so we can start fresh. I have discovered a few things but I wont mention them here. Just some life lessons that I will use from now on. I have also learned not to put myself out there so much. Alot of the times I just get burned. I am the type of person that I will do anything for a person even more so for someone that I call a friend. But I dont always get that in return. And I have discovered that this past year. 


Well, I am still planning our 2011 and 6th trip to our fav place in the world. Neil, has already put in his leave. Once we get our taxes we will get the tickets and I will book our room. We will be staying at Pop Century again since that is our favorite resort. I am determined to go no matter how I feel. But I am praying that I feel 100% better or at least close. I know I keep mentioning this but after the year that I have had this is just something that I am really looking forward to. 


I didnt take a pain pill today but I sure feel like I did. I am real tired but am hoping I am back on a normal sleep schedule now. I hate always being the last one awake of a night. It is so lonley even though Neil and the kids are here with me. 


Well, I am gonna close this one out. Much love to you all..........XOXOXOXOXOXO

Ok......

the Holidays are finally over. I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and New Year. I was thankful to have Neil with us this year. My prayers and thoughts went to the ones overseas away from their families. We got to open our gifts with my family even though we didnt get to go home. I am very grateful to whoever came up with the webcam. It was great getting to see them and share that with them. I almost thought we wouldnt get to because the kids and Neil were sick. Which Neil was still sick so he didnt get to participate.


I go on Monday and have my gallbladder taken out. I am a little nervous because I do not like being put out at all. Neil, is off so he will take care of the kids and stuff next week. Miss Ashley a friend of mine has kindly said she will watch the kids for us. Which takes a load off my mind since I wasnt sure what we would do with them. They would have been tired from having to get up so early and cranky and Neil doesnt handle that well so he would have ended up leaving and taking them home. Plus she lives in base housing so we dont have that far to take them. And she has a little girl for them to play with. Haylee will love that having another little girl to play with. I just pray that this is it the answer to all my prayers.


We are planning our next trip to Disney. We are hoping to get to go in Feb. We want to try and go one more time in case we get orders. Which we will know by then hopefully. I keep hearing we will know by this date and this date. So I am not holding my breath. Neil, has no doubt that we will get orders. When we get them is another story.


Happy New Year!!!!! Much love to you all.....XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
