Well Saddam had his necktie party tonight

Well it's early Saturday morning in Baghdad and Saddam had his necktie party a bit ago. Now I have on the Travel Channel and they're yapping about Big Foot being in OK. OK, yeah, he's there. Waiting for Most Haunted to come on. Shuld be interesting. Well, Mom doesn't like what I say on the blog because I rat out Schererville for the creepy place it was or maybe still is for that matter and all the idiots who lived or still live there but that's okay, I am allowed to hate the place even though my Mom says it's not her fault that I didn't have any friends there growing up. Anyway, that's not exactly true, I had friends in high school.

So this is Christmas, why doesn't it feel like it

Well actually today is the 26th but either way it never much felt like Christmas this year. Maybe because I didn't have a nativity out. I don't know. I enjoy the company but not sure they do because of the kids. I think it's a bit overwhelming for everyone. Michael is out and about I guess. He had hoped to call but guess he wasn't able too. I see where Saddam will be at a necktie party within the next 30 days, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. I hope that they behave themselves but doubt they will. Just want hubby to be safe. I don't know, saw someone on tv saying no one in this country unless you have a loved one there is sacraficing. That is so true. Wish everyone had to ration or something. But alas they don't. Tomorrow I get my hair highlighted and my feet done. Till tomorrow then.

They also serve, those who stand and wait

Everyday I don't get a knock at the door is a good day. But at the same time I am tired of being by myself. I am always Thanking God whenever I do hear from Michael. I am proud of him and what he is doing and me too for taking care of these wonderful children but I can't but help think about Pinky's family and this Holiday Season. I just feel so bad about him. It's like Moira, I don't know if I will ever really get over his being gone too. I didn't really know him that well but he was one of those rare people who you meet and stick with you forever for some reason. I think about Moira and all that was lost with her too. I just hate that she is burried at St. Michael's. It's the last place she would want to be. But Mrs. DeRosa is with her so I guess it's okay. But anyone who would put me at St. Michael's would rue the day. I hate that place.
till tomorrow then.

I once read where Sunday was the most depressing day of the week.

I could understand that when I was working from that perspective as I usually dreaded returning to Cox High School on Monday mornings. But now for me it is because there is nothing for me to do. I can clean (when I am not sick like I am now), do laundry, make my weekly phone calls, etc. However, I am bored out of my gourd. I guess I may be feeling better but I just want to get out. I don't know what I want to do, I just want to get out. I haven't been taking my "happy pills" since I was sick & today I find myself very sad, depresses and teary. I guess it's close to my period too. But I keep thinking that this time last month my hubby was home and now he's back in Iraq. I am so fed up with hearing about what this group wants to do in Iraq & what that group wants to do. Blah, blah, blah. You know let the military do their damn jobs and quite the whinning about all this perephrial (sp?) crap. I am sick of this dirty house, I am sick of laundry, I am sick of the whining of the kids sometimes. I guess I should take my happy pills again. I'm sick of celebs and their assanine lives. I don't know, I am tired and I am stressed out and I am ready for this year to be over.

So, it's Saturday again

Well, today is Saturday. I was too sick to go to church and don't know that I'll be able to go tomorrow. I was reading last night in TD online & there was a letter to the editor about why Laura Bush isn't taking the role of Eleanor Roosevelt in going out and about. However, Eleanor had to do the leg work for her husband. I feel sorry for Eleanor as she didn't have a happy life, personally, although she did do a lot. But where was Hillary in Bosnia?, Lady Bird in Viet Nam?, Mamie in Korea?, well you get the point. She may be doing more than what we know. I guess they had some children of deployed service personnel at the White House. Why weren't my kids invited. If you're going to invite some, invite them all. I want my precious children to be at the White House.
I am worried about what is going on in Iraq. I think that things are going from bad to worse and I can not fathom why the hatred for Bush has made this war so unpopular. I don't know if we're doing the right thing, I think we are & I think Michael does too. I cannot understand though the reason why the most utter incompetent people are in higher rank. I think his LTC is a jackass and I think it was incumbent upon his idiot wife to have put together an FRG even if it wasn't required. If it was me, I would have done it. Not at all pleased with the 25th ID and when Schofield Barracks is in our rear view mirror for the last time, well, I won't shed any tears. I will miss our home but I won't miss the buffonery that is Schofield Barracks, HI.

Yes, today was a Holy Day

Well, I missed another Holy Day & if I don't feel better I won't be at church tomorrow either. I felt better for about 3 hours this afternoon after sleeping two hours today. But by the time my mom called back I was back to feeling like crap. Our old neighbor, Mr. Gurchek (sp?) died in November I guess. Mom was talking to his daughter Ginny. They were nice people. I am glad I don't live in Schererville, IN, anymore. I liked our house but hated Schererville. ICK, ICK, ICK. Although it wouldn't have been bad to get married at St. Michael's so that everyone in the town could see me go under the Sabres. I am such a bitch. But I hated that place and have no qualms telling anyone who asks.
I have to seriously get healthy & lose some weight.
Till tomorrow then.

Is tomorrow a Holy Day?

I am still sick but was wondering if tomorrow is a Holy Day? I believe it is-the Immaculate Conception Feast Day. I wonder if it's a required day. I am still sick but will search on tv for Mass tomorrow.
I got to talk and chat with hubby. Yea!

Still sick as a dog

I've been really sick for almost a week. Hacking cough, fever, no energy. Finally have an appt. tomorrow.

It's Monday the fourth

Over the weekend was our sixth anniversary. I miss my husband so. He sent me a beautiful necklace and earrings. I wish we could have been together.

Soon it will be December 1st.

It's already the end of Hurricane season in the EST zone. You know I enjoyed our wedding so much that I wish it was 6 years ago again. Everyone would be there and alive. That was the probably the happiest day of my life because I knew Michael would show up because we were already married & I got to ride in a Rolls Royce Phantom V. Besides it's the only day in your life we're you're Queen for the day. Now Aunt Sissie & Mark are gone & I've lost touch with so many people who were there that I really liked. Michael is in Iraq on a mission doing what it is he does. I have clothes to fold. TIll tomorrow then.

Such decisions to make

I can't decide whether or not I want to take John down to Ala Moana to ride the choo choo train & do a little shopping (for candles and all to stage the house) & just get out or just go to Pearl Ridge. Monday I am getting my hair cut & can run down to Home Depot then without John in tow. I don't know. Hubby will be out of contact again this weekend.
till tomorrow then

Someday soon we all will be together, if the fates allow.

It's not even December yet and they're already playing "Charlie Brown's Christmas" so I watched NCIS instead.
I was thinking today that I have been pretty lucky because this is the first Christmas that Michael & I will be apart. I keep thinking about that song, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" from "Meet Me in St. Louis". That song came out during WW2-Come next year all our troubles will be out of sight. I sure hope so, I sure hope our troubles as far as selling the house, Michael coming home safely (most importantly) is a distant memory this time next year. I think about Pinky & his family & all that was lost with him. CNN had on these asswipe deserters who are up in Canada & they're whinning. I mean they should all be shot at dawn. Unlike before, they volunteered-they were not drafted. What would George Washington say aboout the Army today where deserters like these are featured as heroes and those who do their duty are bums. Washington used to shoot deserters, so didn't Robert E Lee.
It's 10 in the morning in Iraq & Michael hasn't been on yet. I think he's been having internet problems maybe that is why. I always worry.
Till whenever then

Sunday morning coming down actually it's evening but who cares?

Well, I am still in a funk that I can't escape from. I would no doubt be in a funk anyway because this is our anniversary week and this is the first time the dates have lined up with the days we were married. I thought I was fat then I wish I was that fat now. I think about all the changes in our lives in 6 years-when I look at our wedding pictures I see two happy people who have no cares in the world. However when I look at us today I see the stress of everything we have been through together. I think we've done well though through it all. I still feel so overwhelmed about Michael & wanting him to hurry home. I just get afraid even though I try to stay away from the news. I see where the King of Jordan is even worried about bigger problems in the middle east. I know my husband believes in his mission and so must I. I know once he gets home my stress level will drop tremendously then I can work on losing weight. Thank God I go to the gym or God knows how much I'd weigh. I have to paint the trim tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I guess if it does I will work some more on the interior of the house. Taking those damned plastic boxes out to the garage.
Till tomorrow then.

Saturday night, High and Dry

It's Saturday night of a very strange and sad week. Just like when Michael first left, it is taking it's toll on me. The time is dragging (in my view) and I am just so overwhelmed with everything with the house and with Pinky's passing & worried about Michael all the time. John was out of control today but he really needed a nap. Mary Catherine was her usual angelic self. I think I am going to take her out of school one day and just take her shopping with me. I hope that she enjoys it. I miss having my little girl around.
I really, really, really, really miss my husband.
I need to add some pictures to this blog. I also need to take the kids picture tomorrow to make the Christmas card from.
till weehnever then.

It's Thanksgiving!

Well, today is Thanksgiving & my thoughts fly back to 6 years ago when all the dates lined up to what they are this year. I was thinking about going to the Chow Hall and seeing my husband serving with the other Officers Thanksgiving to the Soldiers and their families. Pinky was serving & the new commander LTC Rutter. I remember that Wendy Polsgrove was po'd because I was yapping with him about concerts. I think he was about my age anyway-I guess one of the draw backs to being older than my husband. I also had a miscarriage that weekend without knowing I was pregnant. I remember we hurried down to Savannah to buy Michael a suit for the rehersal dinner. I cannot believe that two people who attended that wedding are no longer with us. Aunt Sissie & Pinky. When I think about Pinky I think he's the type of guy I would have wanted Moira to meet. They would have been perfect for each other. I am also reflecting on all I knew who are no longer with us, those whose time was cut too short. Yes, I think about my Grandparents but they were born in the 1800's & I didn't even know my mother's father. The people I think about who's lives were cut short, my cousin Prudy, Moira & Pinky-all of them under 33. However, at the same time I have to remember that in our Christian religion we believe that those who go before us are now with God and we're supposed to take comfort in that. I know Pinky died doing what he loved-serving God & his Country but Moira-that was a tragedy beyond belief and Prudy-she suffered so. So, tonight I am thankful that these people were part of my life and hope they are with God in his kingdom. I am also thankful for my parents who have alwalys loved me & my brother. I am thankful I found Michael as I feared there was no one for me out there. My life really began when I sent that email. I had a purpose in my life, someone to live for and someone to love who loved me back. I am thankful that through him I met his wonderful Grandparents & other relatives like his Aunt Mary & the other Glotfeltys. I am thankful for our special little angel, Mary Catherine. I regret I don't get to spend as much time with her as she needs me and I need her too. I am also thankful that we have adopted little John Paul Makana. It was during this time last year that we had to go to the courthouse to sign papers for him. He's truly our son and I know we both love him so. He's quite the little character with a winning personality. I hope that his life is never filled with regrets.
Until tomorrow then!

Still quite sad

Still quite sad about Pinky. It's hard to believe. I was watching our wedding videos and I still can't believe he is gone. I know Michael is upset as well. I'm just shocked and almost speechless about his death. God, why can't you strike down that watada asshole instead? I know not nice.
I did get to talk to hubby for a minute this morning. I wonder where he is at. It's Thanksgiving over there. I miss him so and pray for his safe return. I love Michael so.

Some sad news

Tonight Michael told me that Cpt. Mark Paine was KIA in Iraq. Pinky was one of our groomsmen and a reader at our wedding. I am very saddened at this news actually I am shocked. To think that these fing morons out here are praising that prick watada to the skies while a hero sleeps eternally at Arlington.
God Bless You Pinky, I know you are with God.

Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown

The Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special is on now. Gee, I wish my husband was here.
There is a weird buzzing noise in my house. I don't know what it is but it's going to cost to get an electrician out here. It's a dull buzzing noise that was causing John so consternation as well as myself.

Wow the world is going to stop because of the tomkat wedding

So we have all kinds of news going on in this world-tornado in NC, the war in Iraq, the idiot dimwits in Congress, but the lead story all day long today & no doubt tomorrow will be the fluffanutter wedding of two "celebrities". UUUUGGGGHHHH
Anyway, Michael is somewhere between here and Deutschland on his way back to Kuwait. He thinks he'll be back to Iraq by Sunday or Monday at the latest. So, for me the target date has to be January 8, as that is when his replacements arrive and come to think of it, that is when my class ends.
The house feels very strange and I just can't get settled. I am just wound up like a top and just can't calm down. I guess it will take a few weeks for me and John to get back into our routine-such as it is again.
Well what a surprise the guy in CA crapped out on wanting to buy the house. This surprised me none. So I talked to Donna and will sign on with her sometime this weekend and we can discuss putting the house on the market.
I am excited about the Volvo but it is 40K-aaahhhh.
Boy my life is dull. I'm watching that stupid "Most Haunted" and it's a rerun. There isn't a damn thing on television.
I am so lonely and so weary.
I love my husband so much. Thinking about six years ago we were preparing for our big wedding and we were so excited. Hard to believe that was six years ago. Time does fly.
till tomorrow then

Well tonight he's headed back to the sand box.

Won't write much but took hubby to the airport and I started to cry when it was time for him to get on the plane. I can't write anymore tonight. I feel so lonely without him.

Well tonight he

A Bad Day at Black Rock for the Republicans

Well, last night the dims took control of the House and probably the Senate as it looks like Allen will lose to Webb. I guess the MSM has itself to thank. I think I'm going to be sick for the next two years.

Where is my husband????

Well hubby has been out of contact for sometime. I am anxious thought because I know that very soon he'll be on his way home. I cannot wait and hope he is able to take the Princess & the Prince on their appointed rounds for candy. Tomorrow I sort of have a lot to do. I have to go to Home Depot or Lowes to get the paint tape and plastic sheeting for the windows for painting, John's name tape and all put on his uniform, mail back that dress, get some stamps & mail Halloween cards. Need to start with the babysitting.
Till tomorrow then!

Sodor is a wonderful place no matter what is happening? Oh yeah?

Well the Prince is asleep as is the Princess. The Prince must have on "Thomas the Tank Engine". Right now it drives me nuts but in a few years I'll be wishing he was listening to "Everyday is a special day on Sodor" instead of whatever crappy music he's listening too. He is such a sweet boy, especially when he is asleep.
Tomorrow the carpets are being cleaned.
Well another Soldier is missing. May God have mercy on him and his family. I cannot imagine what he is sufferring right now and mercifully hope he may be dead and his sufferring ended. These idiots in this stupid country want to give terrorist's rights which is so f-ing stupid. We've seen how the terrorists treat our people. I worry about what kind of world our children will grow up in?

So Saturday is Make a Difference Day, WTF cares!

I finally got around to reading the local rag at 630 tonight and 45 minutes later it's done. Well in the "magazine" section-USA Today-it said Saturday was "Make A Difference Day". Well, I don't want to make a difference I just want to survive these next 9 days until hubby comes home. Nothing came out right today. I also had a meltdown because once again, somehow one of these kids got into the wipes and wasted a whole pack. I went to start their bath and some of the wipes were in the tub but I couldn't find the pack. Then I get into the living room and then there are the rest of the wipes all over the floors with the pack. So I just sat down and cried for about a half hour. John was trying to comfort me but I couldn't be comforted. I haven't had one of these in about 4 months. Somedays are just too much for me. This is one of them. All the cleaning I did, you can't even tell. I need to fold clothes but just can't tongiht. I was hoping hubby would be back but he's not. I bet he doesn't come back until late tomorrow or so. He didn't leave until Friday night which was Saturday his time. Next weekend the time changes so he'll be 13 hours ahead of me. I can't even spell but will do the editing tomorrow.

I wish CNN would get sniper fire and they get killed and Fox shows it!

Those disgusting pigs at CNN have been running a snuff film of US forces being killed by snipers. How they came across this gem is beyond belief, why they showed it is another. If this was an American sniper killing an insurgent they would be absolutely calling for that Soldier's head on the preverbially platter. They were almost gleeful when discussing the possiblity of a Courts Martial ending with the deaths of some military-execution style at Fort Leavenworth. Then they switched to the snuff film with feigned regret. It is absolutely disgusting that these assholes: A) have connections to the insurgents that they get these tapes from, B) put this on the air, C) they did not stop these fricking insurgents & D) finally, that they did not ask the parents, spouses, siblings of these people who died for permission to show their deaths. I would like to see CNN go off the air but I know that won't happen. I hope they all along with that asswipe Ted Rall die slow, painful, miserable deaths all alone and wind up in HELL. I hope they all have miserable lives, miserable children and miserable deaths. Mean I know and not Christainlike but I am sick and tired of this crap from these idiot, liberal elites asswipes.
Pardon' moi Francais'

A random thought or two

Tonight we went to church and it was almost impossible to hear with all the birds chirping which got me to thinking if perhaps we aren't in for another earthquake or something since they always say animals can tell when things are coming and birds starat acting weird the day or so before. I was looking at the church bathed in the golden light of the setting sun and I was thinking how we won't be living here this time next year. Is that a bad thing to be happy about? I don't know if it is or not. I will miss our house and a few nice people from church but other than that. I also dread that flight back to the mainland with the kids.
Well hubby is still out and about & not sure when he'll return.
Till whenever then.

This time next week hubby will be beginning his journey home for vacation

I know he's out and about this weekend. I don't know when he'll return. He likes going where he goes as there isn't any internet and he can sleep. I guess I am not around to bug him either. I'm tired tonight. Going to be early and shutting down the computer.
Till whenever then

Got to talk to hubby today but he's not online tonight

I guess I am getting more anxious the closer his leave gets. I wish I wasn't such a wimp.
I have been thinking about this doll I had one Christmas called Baby No Name. I'm not sure why but I am thinking about her tonight.
Little pumpkins are asleep.

Shake, Rattle & Roll

Wow, yesterday was scary. We had an earthquake out here in HI. I was on the phone with the folks when it happened. It was scary. Thought everything was going to fall off the shelves and the house was going to cave in. Luckily, nothing broke and the only thing was my pumpkin lights all fell the same direction. We were without power until 5 our time but overall not too bad. Tourists are complaining of course. I swear, they complained in FL too when something wasn't to their liking. We were hungry and thirsty out here too.

Some more inchoherent musings

So JPM has his Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs on all the time. Here is a question, why do all the figures look like Sir Topham Hat?
Why do celebs have to go to Africa to adopt little black children, there are thousands of them here who need good homes if it's a little black child they want. I guess they're the latest celebrity asscesory.
Why isn't there anything on tv? I am watching shows from 30 years ago.

Another letter read on the O'Reilly Factor

Well today I had a second letter read on the O'Reilly factor. The first was right before the Republican National Convention in 2004 & the one today. I am quite a pundit aren't I?

I can dream can't I?

My sick fantasy is for all the anti war protestors to be on one of those dreamliners that boeing is building (double decker planes) and have it be visited by their heroes in al queda and they will all die. I am mean but I can't believe that stupid pbs out here gave that punk's old man a half hour air time with no counter point. Say what you will about fox news but at least they do try to be balanced. I know I am a mean person but it cannot be helped. I am tired of these asswipes showing up on tv and getting all the glory. what would sheehag have done if her son hadn't died? She would have no altar to be worshipped on. Pathetic of me but isn't it funny how her family does not support her and say that this is not what her son, Casey would want. UUUGGGHHH I am a bad person sometimes but I hope God can forgive me.

So today I am a little sad

I saw on a blog where stupid MS. magazine is having an issue "celebrating" abortion where these women sign their names to a petition saying they are proud of themselves and their "choice". One of these women mentioned aborting her DS baby and how she's been trying to get pregnant again. This bitch is my age and I hope to God she never gets pregnant again. I can't imagine life without our little MC. I think I knew from the beginning she was going to be "different" and I am glad we chose not to have that amnio. I know it was hard for Michael to accept her differences no matter what he says. Yes, sometimes I am still sad that she's different but she is her wonderful self. I know when I get her up she will have a big smile for me, when we read she will come and sit on my lap, when she hears Hawaiian music she does the hula with her arms and because of her we have her little brother JPM who is being a handful today. However, I always remark to myself when they are in bed and the day is over how lucky and blessed I am to have those two little bundles of joy. I cannot wait for Michael to come home and our little family will be together again even if it's only for a few weeks. I know by May we will be living in a new home and will have lots of adventures to look forward to.
Hubby is out and about again on a mission. I worry so much all the time. I am glad that Condi went over there and told them it's time to shit or get off the pot. I also had the misfortune to have some peace activist come to my house and want to read bible versus to me and talk about the wonder of the UN and how horrible war is. I have a No Soliciting sign up but I guess I need to put up a No Prostelycizing (sp?) one as well.
till whenever then

Waiting to hear from hubby tonight

Haven't heard from my husband yet and he's usually on by now.

It's October!

Yea!!!! October is here which means that in a month my husband should be home with his little family. I am so anxious. I can't wait to see him. I know he will be changed from when he left. I was talking about this with his Grandmother who is more like his mother and we both agreed that Michael will be different. I am a bit apprehensive as I worry about asking him too much about what's going on. Having decided myself that I was too much of a wimp to continue with ROTC I don't know that I really have the right to ask. Looking back I guess I should have but would it have brought me to where I am now? Probably not. I did kiss a lot of frogs before I found the handsome Prince and even though we don't have a million dollar home I think we've done well together. Would I have liked to have been married at a younger age, yes, but I also would have not been happy in the long run with any of those who wanted to marry me. At the time I questioned if I had made the right decision. Where I stand now, 10 years later I know I did. I also know that sometimes you just got to cut lose those who bring you down. A lesson I wish my cousin Julie would learn. I talked about this with Octavia and she agreed that toxic boyfriends are the worse and don't leave you open to meet those who are right for you. It's only when we cut the cord to those who do us harm do we realise that there is the one waiting for you. You just have to find him. He was on page 12 for me. I can't wait till the end of the month. I will be on pins and needles until then. Tomorrow I go back to the gym no matter how crappy I feel. Right now I have a sore throat and can't talk. Too bad for me. I talk too much anyway.

Peace Through Superior Fire Power

I think it's time we rounded up all the worthless liberals in this country and send them to Iran and bomb the hell out of it.

And another thing . . .

Yesterday I heard this stupid commercial on tv on Darfur asking when President Bush was going to do something about it. Do what? What did Clinton do for Rawanda? We don't have enough military to send to freaking Darfur. Why doesn't George Clooney and all those Hollywood assholes form their own French Foriegn Legion and go over there and take care of that situation if it bothers him so much. He gets about 20 mil a movie and Oprah also has more money then God and if they pull their resources can they outfit their own little mercenary army and go there. Why do we have to send our people. These people have no real respect for the military anyway and besides Clooney has played military roles in movies he can do the same thing since he thinks he's such a freaking expert. I'm sick to death of Darfur. If my husband should ever get sent there my ass will be out protesting but I doubt I'll see any of the usual suspects out there with me.

More Random Musings part ?

Well today the kiddies were watching the Disney Channel and this little spot came on saying "Happy Hispanic Heritage Month". Let's see we have Black History Month & Hispanic Month. There is no Irish History Month or German History Month or Italian History Month or Asian History Month. Why is that? We have St. Paddy's Day but that's one day. We have to "celebrate" the Cinco De Mayo Day. Why is that?
I guess Iraq's time is growing short. I have a feeling that whomever the next President is (in all likely a Dem) will pull out on January 20, 2009. I think they need to step it up over there so they can show that they do want this.
MC sick-gotta go.

Guess hubby will be out of contact for a while

I believe that I may not hear from hubby for awhile as he is moving somewhere else and I am worried because I don't know where he is going. I find myself getting more and more anxious the closer it gets to his coming home for R & R. I know he said that soon he'll be under thirty days before he flies but the closer it gets the more anxious I get. I don't know what he's up to and I doubt I ever will.

We're all sick

Everyone here is sick and the only room that is clean is my bedroom. I need to mop the living room, kitchen and both bathrooms. However, I have the kids who are sick and me too. I just couldn't get going today. Just wanted to stay in bed but that's imporssible with the gruesome twosome. We didn't get to church today. I haven't heard from hubby yet this evening-morning his time. He's also sick so we're all sick. On the good side October is almost here.

What I want on my tombstone

Well, just got finished watching Barbara Wawa's interview with O'Reilly and talked about what he wanted on his tombstone. This is what I want on mine: 1) my picture from when I was 29, 2) the day I was born March 7, 1964-not just the year or month but the whole day and the whole day I croak, 3) I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far . . . Okay, it's from an old Joe Walsh song but I liked it when I was 13 and I still like it almost 30 years later. Also, at my grave I want played "Wheel in the Sky" from Journey and I suppose at my Mass I'll have played the Ave Maria as it will be the last time it will be played in my honor. When hubby gets back and we get to GA I seriously want that annullment started and hopefully completed by our 10th anniversary.
I did get to chat with hubby today and tonight. Boy, those kids---today I was ready to just go to bed and leave them to their own devices. These kids decided for fun to flood their bathroom again. This is like the third time and I am getting sick of it. So I sent them to bed and to bed they are. JPM is probably scared of me and MC just doesn't realize it. Sometimes it almost seems a blessing that she's unaware of what's going on. JPM on the other hand seems to understand and misses his Daddy terribly although he's unaware of it right now. He will take a few minutes to remember who Daddy is. Right now all three of us are sick. TIll tomorrow then.

We live in a strange world

It's fun at the UN week where all the stupid people come and give their stupid speeches and generally that involves bashing America. Well in the span of about 18 hours we were treated to the nut job from Iran yapping about that 12th imam and the freak chavez (hero to that slut, shit head shehag) call Bush "el Diablo". I guess it takes one to know one. These assholes at the UN cheered and laughed. Oh Hugo you're so god damn funny and correct. Why in the hell we let these ass wipes in is beyond my comprehension. Then we have thse rino's in the senate who want to give the terrorists their gc conventions. we really live in a parrallel universe I guess. I really don't know what kind of world bubba and mc will grow up in.

haven't been around for awhile I know

I am as sick as a dog and getting ready to go to bed. Hubby said he had a busy and early day tomorrow (his time now). I always worry when I don't hear from him. I love him and miss him so much.

I am still 5 years old

My mother thinks I am still a child. She doesn't want me to send my stuff back to the house. I think I'll probably just go straight to Augusta when we return to the mainland. Haven't heard from hubby really today. Lots of bad stuff going on over there. Worried as usual.

Still haven't heard from hubby

I had stopped taking my meds because I was too lazy to call and refill as I'm not too sure they actually help. However, I was really feeling weird so finally got them on Friday. So, now I haven't heard from Michael and I worry as usual. Boy, I have a lot of work to do on the house.
till whenever then

Haven't heard from hubby in 24 hours.

Well, it's been about 24 hours since I have heard from Michael. I guessed he was going on a mission. He said he had to go so to me that's a sign he is out and about. I worry and won't quit worrying until he's home for good. I can't wait till he comes home in Oct. I know we will be busy during that time. John will be so happy to see him. I thought it would be a good idea if he takes John to gym and swimming. I think he'd enjoy it. John I know would.
Of course the only thing on the news is this Israel thing. Pretty much blew the 9/11 part deux thing right out of the news. Of course you don't hear a damn thing abut Iraq anymore which annoys me. Then they're praising to the skies these idiot American kids who go and fight for Israel who get killed over there. These fools won't fight for their own country, yet they'e hearalded as heroes over here. People talk about how the Muslims first debt is to their religion and not their country (IE: here) but the same could be said for the Jews. I don't get it. Both groups grow up in these wonderful western societies where they have the opportunity to have every freedom but these fools go and fight for their "religion". Strange.
Till tomorrow then.

Well, by May we will be in GA

Today hubby got his orders for Fort Gordon but it is unknown yet as to whether or not this a PCS move or just a TDY thing. Let's hope it's a PCS move but until we get the final word on that, I can't call Donna. Hubby signed out of the yahoo at 3 something in the morning his time. Wonder if he is on another mission. It is now almost 10 in the morning there and this is generally the time I can find him if he's around. till tomorrow then

Does anyone see this but me?

Just a question, but does anyone see this but me? I guess when hubby comes home he can look at it.
I am sick of the condescension of the anti-war crowd towards soldiers who have lost limbs. This clown was on O'Reilly tonight condescending to a soldier who lost both of his legs with a BK amp. Anyway, this kid had been interviewed by the Boston Globe. It's hard to believe this kid didn't know the Globe was anti-war but . . . This report made the Sgt. come off looking like he was a fool. O'Reilly did try to show that perhaps the kid was taken in but seriously, if this guy is from MA and he doesn't know the Globe is anti-war and anti-Bush, I have to wonder.

More Random Musings part ?

Last night I was channel surfing and as usual absolutely nothing was on. I came across this "Flavor of Love" on VH1. I can't believe that this qualifies as entertaining television. The next show was a bunch of overweight former celebs who need to lose weight. It's really a vast wasteland. No wonder our country is in so much trouble.
Again the Fox news had on the stupid Dixie Twits who are now selling army green caps and dog tags at their concerts. It was wondered if perhaps they were ready to make nice the Troops. I doubt the Troops are ready to make nice with them now or ever. That bratty lead singer just can't keep her trap shut.
The ACLU needs to get a life. I can't stand these people who are "protecting" our rights. Yeah, right.
I have to take MC to the doctors today. Guess we'll be late getting home. I had thought about maybe going down to Sam Choys for dinner since we'll be stuck in traffic and I didn't go shopping today. However, we will see.
Got to talk to hubby for a few seconds. It was great! I miss him and can't wait for him to come home.

I'm worn out

Today I am so tired and can't get motivated. I got to IM hubby this morning but he's not on tonight & I always worry about him. I am debating whether or not to send MC to school tomorrow. I'm leaning towards no.

Next stop Fort Gordon

Well today hubby got the happy news that he will be leaving the QM corp to the Automation Corp. He thinks the next class he will be able to make is sometime in early May. It would seem that he will not be making the class that begins on my birthday. He will still be transitioning out of Iraq and going wherever he will have to go to complete that and then signing out of Schofield Barracks-Hoohah! Aloha Ohe! I can't wait until he gets orders, first phone call will be to Donna (the Real Estate agent), portabox (to remove our excess stuff to ready the house for sale), the NEX to purchase the mirror for our bedroom suite (to qoute Hyacinth) for delivery the day we pack out!
Hooray!

Haven't heard from hubby today.

Well, I am worried again because I haven't heard from my husband today. I always worry when I don't hear from him. I realize Iraq isn't on the front pages, this Israel thing is nonstop. I'm tired of hearing about it. I guess the generals were up on Capitol Hill giving some poor news regarding Iraq today. yea rah. Well, I miss my husband very much and wish I could hear from him.

A Princess is back in school!

Well, the Little Miss got up this morning and went back to school. Her bus came at 615 and she didn't get dropped of until 1445. I am sorry but that's just too long for a 3 year old. Don't know if there is anything I can do about it though.
We got our invite to my cousin, Mollie's wedding today. I'm sure it will be nice but we can't go.
Haven't heard much from hubby today.

Some more random musings

Well, today I drove by Denny's in Kunia and they were filled to the brim. I can't figure out why, the food there is nasty.
Why does anyone care about celebs? Besides teenagers, who really cares? I don't get it.
I have so much cleaning to do but can't get motivated to do it.
Little Miss starts back to school Monday. Better call the transportation nerds to find out what time she needs to be out there.

Once again I screwed up.

I thought I would be smart and buy a new virus protection for the computer. Turns out I didn't need to and I bought the wrong one. So now hubby is mad at me about that. On the flip side I did put it on the rewards card so he was happy about that.
Till tomorrow then!

I really made a big mistake

Going thru my mush laden mind I have figured out what I did with the green folder that held the POA, hubby's car registration, and a whole lotta other important stuff. Jpm took the folder out of my nightstand, I realize it's a good time to open his savings account, Rene meets us at Ruby Tuesdays (which of course winds up being our treat) I take Rene home but move all my stuff to the back seat, I bring in the green folder and lay it on the dining room table. One week ago I through out the paper that I didn't read, green folder must have been in that pile because I thought about it and taking it out of pile but I did not, green folder is in the landfill.
I am a stupid person who is losing her mind.

hubby was all excited b/c he was getting off of dodge

Not sure what my husband does but he was excited to be getting off the plantation today. I'm pooped!

I know that I am a lucky woman but today I don't feel it

It dawned on me today that Michael has been out of HI for over 6 months now. I have been with the kids pretty much 24/7 since. I love them both dearly but I really need a break from them. I thought I would get one this summer when Rene came but she always had an excuse as to why she couldn't watch them. However, she was also quick on the draw when she needed money to borrow. I have absolutely no support here and no one to call on to help me out. I really need to mop the floor tonight but I just can't do it. I am pooped. We have to go to Ala Moana tomorrow because I had told Sandy we would. I've been putting her off for about a year.
Oh well, till tomorrow then.

Today a mistake was made!

Today I went to the compuer and typed in thomasthetankengine.com and the little Prince was with me. He was going crazy when I turned the computer off. Crying and throwing a tantrum. I won't put that on again. I was looking to see if they sold crib sheets are something. But no luck.
The little Princess was also bad today. She took over her diaper and pooped on the floor. I couldn't believe it.
THe antics of these little children!
South Park was a rerun of the episode with Mohammed. It was sort of funny I guess. I think it got nominated for an emmy award.
Well, Prince JPM is still awake so I guess I should leave. He starts swimming lessons again tomorrow. I think the boys will all be together but he won't be with his little girlfriend Sophia.
Till tomorrow then!

Tuesday

Well, I was hoping hubby was around to chat but no such luck. We went to the Commissary at Barber's Point today. Boy was that a disappointement. It reminded me of the Certified when I was a little girl in Cedar Lake. I have to go to the NEX tomorrow to get the rest of the groceries. Not even a deli or a whole lot of diapers there. It was really strange.
Well, Rene called and needs more money to borrow. I told her all I had is $100 and I don't really even have that. She promised to babysit so I could go to the spa one day but she's leaving Monday, so so much for that.
I wish I was able to chat with hubby tonight. I wanted to tell him about John's last day of swimming. Actually neither kid took a nap today and they were both out by 7.
Well, here is the other cutie.
till tomorrow then

Sunday

Well, tomorrow the little Prince has an early morning speech appt. Let's see if this actually occurrs. He hasn't had speech in 2 months due to various issues.
Didn't get to hear from hubby much. Still can't figure out the email he sent as it's encrypted. Well, tomorrow I will post a picture of the Princess.
till tomorrow then

Happy Sixth Anniversary to my wonderful husband!

Today, Michael and I have been married 6 years. It's hard to believe, as it seems like yesterday almost. I am happier now than I could have ever imagined. I have a wonderful husband, children and a nice home. We are very lucky to have found each other. I am so glad I sent that email and that he answered it. I'm also glad he didn't jump off the boat! :)
I got a beautiful heart necklace and a dozen red roses with two balloons! I was so surprised! I love you, Michael!

Maybe I've just had it!

There is a reason I don't watch newsmagazines or the nightly news anymore. I was watching the local ABC news and the lead in to the World News Tonight was "Another Army Scandal=the search is on for a Soldier who is suspected of Rape and Murder". Gee, I don't remember hearing any outrage from these jackasses about the two soldiers who were brutally murdered. I'm sure we don't know the half of that but I can well imagine although I'm sure it was even worse than my worse imagination. I don't know, then tonight they're having something on with that total incompetent from the Clinton administration about how polarized the country is. Well, I'll tell you what, if there was an earthquake and SF and Berkley fell into the Pacific I can honestly say I wouldn't feel bad at all. I know that is truly mean spirited but those people are beyond the pale.
So, I don't watch much tv anymore. I watch SouthPark reruns and stupid cooking shows and old movies but other than that there isn't much I watch. I do watch Fox because they're not as bad but they have their moments.
So, today was a disaster. I took the kids to the mall after exercise. Well, John was completely out of control he's pretty tired I think. We did get to talk to Michael and he got to see the kids. I put the camera on John and he said he gets to see him all the time so MC did some of her little tricks for her Daddy. I will be glad when he gets home. Although I was a bit sad last night thinking about how this was probably the last 4th in our house. Our 4th 4th. It's our first house and I will be sad to leave it. However, I won't be too sad to leave HI but when it's snowing or something I may rethink that. It's not that it's that bad but it's just too far away from everyone and I'm completely alone here.
Well, till whenver then.

I just haven't had the time

I attempt to add to this every night but someone is always awake in here and wants to play. I'm always worried I'm going to wake him up so I have to be quick. Perhaps tomorrow I will have more time.

Hells Bells

I made a post last night but it didn't make it.
I don't feel much like posting. I am depressed about the two soldiers who were murdered in Iraq. I don't know where the outrage is on the left. The usual suspects are pretty quiet but if some so called innocent civillians are killed--look out.
I worry about hubby. Maybe I need new meds, these aren't helping much.

It's Father's Day & other ramblings

Well, today is Father's Day. My Dad is sick in FL & my husband is in Iraq. My brother is in Chicago and was a bit tired out from the shindig they went to. My aunt turned 80 sometime this past week. I guess a lot of the fam damily were there. However, there is less of them all the time.
Some other sad news is that my Aunt Sissie died on Thursday. She was my Uncle Billy's second wife. His first wife my Aunt Betty Ann died almost 10 years ago. She was really another nice lady. She had an infectious laugh and I liked her right away when I met her. I was bemoaning the fact that here was Uncle Billy going on marriage number two with another nice lady and I didn't have any prospects. I guess that was sometime in 1998 or 99. I didn't meet Michael until Feb. of 2000.
My second cousin is getting married in September in the Chocolate City. I guess my folks are going to go. Her father is my mother's god child and he was the ring bearer in their wedding 50 years ago. She's also the first of the second cousins to be getting married. Anyway, I guess she received the shower present from my mom and me. She was all excited. I remember how excited I was to be getting wedding presents and I think Michael was too. I know Mollie isn't as old as I was when I got married but it's an exciting time to be a bride.
Well, today that idiot lt from HI had an idiotic op-ed. I have concluded that he really is a self-aborbed human being. Well, none of his men want him over there now either. However, I think execution is a viable option because he is also encouraging others to choose his path. Well, I wish there was a way the brass could see that op-ed and his wish to have others follow his lead. He's also got his DA photo in the picture as well.
Tomorrow we have another busy day and I was hoping to drain the pond. I still haven't gotten it done yet. I need to get with the program. I haven't been sleeping well the last week or so. Maybe I need to get some more meds.
Till tomorrow then!

Another random musing

Well if I had the chance I would like to ask the Dixie Twits how 6th grade is working out for them this year and for all their neato cool fans as well. It appears that it is true that South of the Mason-Dixon line they're just not selling and in fact are having to cancel many of their dates although it is listed as post-poned (yeah, post-poned until they think everyone has forgotten). As I was watching on Fox this morning it was being discussed that they only wanted the "really cool" people to be their fans. Well, as the commentator stated it looks like they're getting their wish. Gee, "really cool, neato cool" it's so 6th grade.
I would like to throw my musical support behind a USMC Cpl. Joshua Belile who wrote a satrical song last fall. If you get a chance anyone who reads this blog should head over to MichelleMalkin.com and check out the archive vent section. However, it would probably be a good idea if this was done alone and if all evidence of playing the song could be removed from the hard drive of any computer so the prying eyes couldn't see where one has visited. Just a thought!
Well, I really don't get too many comments so I have to also muse as to whether or not anyone besides myself sees this.

Hubby has had a rough day

Well, didn't get a chance to chat with hubby today but he did send me a text message that he had had a rough day. I was hoping he would be online now but so far he's not. I wonder if he heard from the Major board yet. I hope that he's doing okay.
till tomorrow then!

The only thing better would have been if hubby would have seen the President!

Wow, what a surprise, when I woke up this morning at 3:00 a.m. and saw that President Bush was in Baghdad and meeting with the new PM. I wish hubby could have gotten to see him but it seems that the visit put a crimp in his plans and now he has to go back to the Embassy sometime soon. However, I think it was a great visit and speech to the troops and to the press. However, those buttheads in the press can't say anything nice about the President. I wish they would get a life.
Well, heard from hubby this morning and he had a new idea on a car. This car is an Audi SUV. It looks interesting but it is expensive and they also have a military car program. I am looking forward to all the changes we will be making when he comes home. I can't wait till he comes home on R & R.
Well, the children are "calling".
Till tomorrow then.

The new PX is open at Schofield

Well, they finally opened the long awaited new PX at Schofield and it's just not that exciting! As usual they don't have what you want or need and they don't have enough people working in the cashier lines. In fact they had some comment cards and the couple in front of me filled one out and I told them that they'll just call them say "well, I'm sorry ma'am doing the best we can". It is ridiculous. And I left some things off my grocery list today.
Well tomorrow is King Kamehameha Day out here. He's the King that got all the islands of Hawaii under one rule. This was going on while we were fighting the war of Independence.
Well hubby is online so I will have to close this out.
till tomorrow then!

I hate stuck up people

Well today we went to the yoga class and I am going ot complain about that instructor. She's ocd because my yoga mat wasn't straight and she made a big deal about coming over and saying it was driving her nuts. Then this Japanese girl who came in late said "Oh, I'm with you, this was driving me bonkers!". Well, I'll tell you what drives me bonkers is people like that girl and that other woman who come in late, crowd my space and then that other older woman sounds like she's having an orgasm. I'm about as flexible as a 2 X 4 and thought I had made that clear to Christine last week but I am trying to get into shape and thought that by going to this class it would help me become more flexible (something hubby complains about) and help me learn to breath to relax more. Well, then they were doing something and I couldn't do it because I'M NOT FLEXIBLE! Then Christine says "it doesn't work if you don't do it right". Well the reason I can't do it right is because I'M NOT FLEXIBLE. So I did the best I could, got up and left. I then went over to the desk and changed the appointment I had for childcare from next Saturday to Tuesday and then I'll be stuck in traffic for an hour but that's okay. When I go on Monday I am going to ask if they plan on doing a beginning yoga class for people like me who aren't flexible and people who weigh more than the two pounder who gives the class or the five pounders in the class.
Well, I didn't hear from hubby all day and I always worry when I don't. He was listed as being on line all day until the last hour or so and now he's off. I worry and wish I didn't. We did go to church today and made it through the Gospel. For a change it was MC who was acting up. She was tired today and I think that was what was wrong with her. John was pretty good.
Well, till tomorrow then!

The sweetest sound!

I am listening to my children laugh at "Clifford the Big Red Dog" on tv in the living room. That is a sound sweeter than anything I have ever heard. Our little daughter is laughing so much and her brother is too. That must be what the Angels sound like when they laugh as well. What wonderful children hubby and I have been blessed with.
I got to speak to hubby earlier this morning and boy did he sound tired. He was working on some projects for his class. I think he only has one more after he finishes this one and I hope that he can finish it so he'll have his masters degree. I know he's worked hard for it.
It's hard to believe that 6 years ago I was still living in my apartment in VA with Miss Scarlett. I would have never guessed I would be living in HI with a wonderful husband and two wonderful children. Although I knew that I would be married in less than a month I did not know what was in store for me.
Till tomorrow then.

Ding Dong Zarqaui is dead! Ding Dong the Wicked Zarquai is dead!

Photo courtesy of www.Foxnews.com

Wow, just as I was getting ready to go to bed and bring my son back into his room, I was watching the rerun of Greta on Fox. Well, jut as I was turning it off the big bang Fox News Alert came on anouncing the death of Zarquai. Wow, what a great piece of news. I know it's not the end of the insurgency and the risk over there for my husband but it is a good day. Satan's spawn met his 72 Virginians (this is in reference to something that I heard on the radio when hubby was deployed to Kosovo right after the 9/11 attacks) and one day short of Satan's Day. It's a great day!
I got published today in the Honolulu Advertiser for my letter on the goofball or meathead as he was called on Perry and Price for my thoughts on this stupid lt. who doesn't want to go to Iraq. Something smells funny in this story. Not sure that it can ever be proved though but I believe this idiot actually joined the military in 03 when the war was starting so that he could pull a stunt like this. His old man some democratic fool over here proudly discussed his marching against the US (his words) during the Viet Nam war. What a proud bunch of fools these people are. When I did come home there were a few messages for me on my machine saying "good work" on my letter.
Well it looks like the Dixie Twits are getting their wish. Their blue state concernts are selling out but their red state concernts are being cancelled or moved to smaller venues and still maybe cancelled. Well, I guess their "neato cool fans" will be there for their songs. Of course when they start singing "Sin Wagon", "Earl had to Die" & "Wide Open Spaces" the blue staters will be confused. They won't understand the music. They won't be getting anymore of my money though.
Well, today the little Prince had a great time at swimming but not at tumbling. I hope that he gets to like the tumbling. I was really surprised though at how much he really enjoyed the swimming today.l
Heard from hubby this morning but he was occupied doing other things. He's taking a class so I guess he won't be too interested in just chatting with me. He did say he didn't want to travel though when he was home on r&r. Now they have some airfare wars going on so I may again look into going to one of the outer islands this summer.
till tomorrow then!

I still don't get it

There is this idiot 1Lt from HI who is refusing to deploy with his unit from Ft. Lewis. This clown signed up in 2003 when the war was either just ready to start or already underway. I wonder if he wasn't some sort of plant just waiting for his unit to deploy so he could pull this stunt. His old man went into the Peace Corp rather than go to Viet Nam. I think he's a coward. I hope he has to crack rocks at Fort Leavenworth. However, he will have a job with some anti-war freak group when he gets out just like all the others. George Washington had it right-shoot or hang deserters. (sp?)
Well got to talk to hubby today but not tonight. It's almost 1030 a.m. over there but he's not online. I like to talk to him before I go to bed. He would have loved South Park tonight--they were making fun of Paris Hilton and it was great. The second one was about the kids playing little league and how they really don't want to play but the parents make them do it. I love that show.
Well, till whenever then!

I guess hubby is out

Well, haven't heard from hubby today which was a bit unusual because he generally gives me hints that he's going to be on a mission so I won't worry. I can't help it though, I do worry. I can't help it. I love him very much. I think about 6 years ago and what I was doing getting ready to get married and leaving Cox. I was a bit nervous about getting another job and about getting married. However, it has all worked out and worked out well too. We are very happy together. We've had some rough patches but we've worked through them.
Boy, was JPM funny at swimming lessons today. He cried for about 20 of the 25 minutes. He then suddenly decided to have fun so we'll see what he does on Thursday. Thusday is a busy day for him, he also has gymnastics.
Well, till tomorrow then.

Well tomorrow is 6/6/6-the number of the beast depending on who you talk to

Well, tomorrow is the dreaded day for many and for others like myself it will be another day. I remember Timmy had a neighbor who died a few years ago who was born 6/6/6 in 1900. Timmy's address is 666. I don't know. The idiots in Hollyweird are also re-doing another version of the Omen. Gee, it was a good story the first time around but not sure if anyone other than Gregory Peck could play the role of the father.
Tomorrow the Prince starts swimming and it should be interesting. I will have to see how it goes and see if we should sign him up for the second phase.
Well, until tomorrow or whenever then.

Why does the MSM hate the military so much and love the twits?

I haven't felt well today. In fact I did very little besides play with the kids, feed the kids and give them their bath today. I am exhausted I guess. I took a few minutes and perused the news channels and they either had on how terrible the US military is---why do they need to be trained on corp values??? Shouldn't they know this stuff already? Gee Wolf, I don't know maybe you should be trained on ethics as well. You seem to have none. If it wasn't the Haditha story it was those geopolitical wonders the Dixie Twits who have been on every tv show they can yapping like the dogs that they are about how terrible President Bush is. They have no clue just like all the others. No wonder their stupid album is number one (although in truth all of their albums have been number one but this has a 33% less sales rate) they've gotten publicity any musician would crave. They are stupid and immature and want only "the cool people" to be their fans. I guess the rednecks like me who fattened their purse don't count for much anymore. What a bunch of fools. I hope that they lose all their money sometime. I know I shouldn't wish bad things on people but they don't deserve any respect whatsoever to quote their feelings on Da Prez.
Well hubby is back from whatever it was he had to do but he was just so tired he went straight to bed. I will come back later and see if he is available to chat.
Till tomorrow then.

It's been a while hasn't it?

Well, we have been really busy doing I don't know what but it seems I haven't had time to get to this.
Hubby is off on some mission to some side of some base. I don't really understand this stuff. However, what I do understand is that the liberal press is tarring and feathering those in the military. They don't give a good GD about the troops, they hope that all of these so called "atrocities" are true and if one or two happens not to be true, well it probably is and the military is covering up for the truth. I really despise liberals, the MSM and the anti-war crowd. They make me absolutely sick. And another thing---why is the new Iraqi PM saying all this crap. Okay, they have their own government, maybe it's time we did come home. I have supported this war because I do believe that an Iraq without Saddam is a better place. However, I also said that once they get their own government in place it's time for us to start coming home. Now they have their government so maybe we should take a look at it. OF course this won't affect my husband as he is with them but maybe it will lessen his time there, although I doubt it.
Well looks like the worthless 25th ID is gettng a delay in their deployment because they sucked so bad at the NTC. What a bunch of worthless bastards running this show. I don't think they know what to do out here in Schofield Barracks land.
Well, I got MC a walker today. We need to start working with her tomorrow on it. She sure is a bright light in our lives and we love her so much. I was thinking back today about our trip to Gettysburg almost 4 years ago. I was pregnant but didn't know it and we were living in VA at Fort Lee. I truly believe there was something in the water there because everyone on my block seemed to come up pregnant. The PT was done on Father's Day when we returned and Michael got to find out he'd be a Dad on Father's Day. It was such an exciting time! Even though I was sick the whole time I was so excited about the baby coming. We really love our little girl!
Today we went by the hospital where JPM was born. He's a sweet little boy and he just loves us so much. We love him as well and I hope he will always love us. I know one day he may want to get in touch with his birth mother. We probably shouldn't discourage it but I don't think he would like what he saw. I never saw her but she's a bit off the track I think. We have her psych report and he can look at that when he's ready. I guess one day someone will say to him that he doesn't look like us. Maybe he'll figure it out on his own but one day hubby and I will have to have a talk about when we should tell him. HOwever, like MC he's a bright light in our lives and we are ever so greatful to have him too.
Well, till whenever then!

24 Years Ago Today

Well, 24 years ago today I graduated from Andrean. I remember how scared I was about my future. However, 24 years later I feel okay. I have advanced degrees, a wonderful husband and two wonderful children. I did learn so much at Andrean, things I didn't realize I had at the time. The young mind really is a sponge.

And another thing . . .

Why is Denny's always crowded in Kunia. Everytime I go by there no matter what time of the day there are people waiting outside. That food is terrible and it's Denny's. We ate there and I thought I was going to puke. It's disgusting. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
Also it is Memorial Day, a day we should honor those who serve, have served and those that gave the last full measure of devotion from the Revolution to today. Well what does that stupid Greta have on???===that's right more crapola on that great American Natalee Holloway. Am I the only one who is sick to death of this stupid blonde and her mealy mouthed family? I don't think so because others have brought this up before. If it was me or our daughter it wouldn't even get a passing mention. There are thousands of missing young kids and young men and women in this country. Why in God's name have we had to spend an entire year listening to what the hell happened to someone who went on vacation and didn't come home. My very good friend Moria who was more like a little sister to me went to Costa Rico and never came home alive. That will be seven years on July 2 but the only ones who will remember is the ones who loved her and still miss her. However, the whole country has to be reminded about this stupid blonde in Aruba-Enough Already. There are far more worthier people to spend an hour on than some spoiled brat whose family can afford to take private jets to Aruba to look for her.

Random musings for May 28, 2006

So the world's most eagerly awaited bastard has been born. Who cares? Evidently those who decide on the news stations think we all do. I could care less. There was probably a ton of bastard children born yesterday but only one got the news.
Another thing-the Red Lobster ad about dreaming about some stupid shrimp dinner. If someone is waiting and dreaming about some dumb shrimp dinner than they have bigger problems than eating the said shrimp dinner will solve.
The Villages-Florida's Friendliest Hometown is truly living up to it's name. They have the highest rate of STD amongst the senior citizen crowd. They blame this phenomena on Viagra and the fact that the old gals don't have to worry about getting pregnant anymore. Scary.
Viagra, Cialis-do we really want to know if old foggies are having sex? I don't, it makes me nauseaus just thinking about it.
Tomorrow is Memorial Day and as some Viet Nam vet in the rolling thunder expessed on the news we should honor the men and women who are in Iraq and that just because the going gets tough doesn't mean the tough leave. I think he was trying to express the fact that we should have finished the job in Viet Nam and we need to finish it there. He also hoped that soldiers received the respect they didn't. I hope they do as well but I don't hold out much hope for this leftist, anti-war, anti-Bush crowd. They would rather see us lose I truly believe then to see it all turn out well and he go down as Reagan did (they all hated him 25 years ago too) as one of our best Presidents. It certainly isn't their favorite President BJ.
Well I will have some more serious musings later but these are just some things I wanted to express.

A little Prince turns two

Well today is JPM's second birthday. Of course he loves all his Thomas stuff but he's driving me crazy with that lego set which may have to go in the closet for a few weeks. He got to talk to his Grandparents (maternal) and to his Daddy who called him from Iraq. I have a feeling Daddy is on a mission but I don't know that for sure.
We will go to church tomorrow night. Both kids weren't feeling too good this afternoon. It was a good thing we didn't go though because hubby called. We will go tomorrow night.
I can't believe he is two now. He's so cute and so is his sister. They are the best kids in the world.
Well, hope to hear from hubby soon. We miss him so!
Till tomorrow then.

A little Prince will be two tomorrow

Well tomorrow is the birthday of the Prince aka Little King, Little General, Little Bubba, Little Headache. He is going to be two. Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday he was 10 months old. I sometimes wonder if his biological mother ever thinks about him or is too lost in space to recall that he was even born. He is a cutie though and we are so blessed to have him.
I hope hubby gets to talk to him tomorrow on his special day. The little shirt he sent is in the dryer now so he will wear it tomorrow although it looks like a dress. I hope that Daddy is doing well because his little boy misses him so much too. MC is doing well today and has Monday off. We've yet to hit the Punchbowl and maybe this weekend would be a good time to do it. It's called the Arlington of the Pacific.
We got to talk to hubby today but he was distracted. We had to go to 1st command and that was a complete waste of time. I have to go back in July. I didn't feel like going in June. I got John new birthday presents because hubby was right the other one said three so he can get it next year. I think the pieces are too small and this one said 2-5. It's the same thing-THomas Train but it's a lego thing.
Well, till tomorrow then!

Well started at the gym today and it was rough!

Boy was I pooped today during that aqua aerobics class. I couldn't believe how rough it was. I am out of shape though but I am going to keep plugging thru though. Perhaps I'll sleep well tonight.
Boy, no money in my account, no class, what will I do? Hate to bug hubby about it though as he's got enough on his mind to worry about. I don't know what he does but I think it changes daily. I wish he was going to be home for his little son's birthday. Hopefully next year we will all be together celebrating at Fort Gordon, GA. Which would mean he would get his job switch or else it's back to Fort Lee, VA. Which was the only place I was able to get pregnant but I think I'm too old for that now. I didn't mind our little house there though. I didn't like teaching middle school though. The kids are weird at that age.
I think if Toby Keith ever comes anywhere we're at we should go see him. I like him and I hate the Twits. They want a cool fan base not those who like Toby Keith or Reba McEntire. Not sure what she did to them but I know Toby had a few words for the Twits last year.
Well, till tomorrow then and more aqua aerobics.

shouldn't have watched

So tonight there was nothing on tv and I made the mistake of watching Baghdad ER. It really upset me. I love my husband so much and miss him too. I just want him to come home. I really feel like half of me is just missing. I am strong but sometimes I am not. I wish I was stronger.

Bad manners at college graduations

I hate liberals, I really do and those punk kids and ivory tower profesors who heckle and disrupt college graduations. I hated that pinko that spoke at my first graduation but I behaved myself. It just goes to show you that liberals do a poor job of raising their children. I can see that by the smart alecky mouth on all these punks who have no manners. I hope that the next time there is an asshole of the order of any of these jock itch democrats that republicans will keep their manners. Although it does not matter to those on the left.
Well, hubby will be out of the loop for a few days. I did join the gym and will email him with the details. I can't find the disc he's looking for but I will keep looking. I am teaching some stupid class and can't believe it.

Sunday

Well I have made a decision if this women's exercise place isn't too outrageously expensive I think I'm going to sign up. They have children facilities for little bubba and I think we'll go by tomorrow after we mail hubby's latest care package. I have got to do something so I'll feel better. I haven't been exercising like I should since we got back really and I know I would feel better if I did.
Well, I worry about hubby's upcoming next few months until he comes home for R&R. I wish he was here now. I went to the commissary today and the clowns from the 25th ID were coming back from the NTC. I wish hubby was with them but I guess I need to look at it like he wouldn't be gone yet. He's been away from home now over 4 months and it seems like a thousand years but on the other hand it seems like 10,000 years. I am so tired and I have to take the garbage out. Little Bubba will be 2 on Saturday. It's hard to believe. I have to find that camera but I don't know where I hid it!
I also ordered a gift for my second cousin's wedding in Sept. I also sent flowers to my aunt who is in the hospital in VA. It doesn't look good. Looks like the Aged P's will be heading to "The Chocolate City" aka The Crescent City, aka New Orleans. I won't step foot in that city again until that racist mayor is out of office. Well, I guess I need to close. Till tomorrow then!

Hubby wondered why I thought he was mad?

I actually dont' remember but it was something at the time. I guess he missed my missive though on my other comments. I hope he won't have to go on some extended mission that he mentioned casually. I am worried though and I guess I can't help it. I hope that he gets to stay put but whatever I hope he stays safe.
Well, today took the kids to Chili's but then I spilled something on me so we couldn't run to Kmart to pick up a few items.
Well the Preakness was run today and there will be no Triple Crown. The horse that won the Derby got hurt. I hope that one day we can own a horse or two. I would love to own a horse and go riding.
Till tormorrow then.

Another one bites the dust

Well our wonderful son broke another dvd player. I am unsure about what to do with him. He thinks this is funny and he also likes to set off the alarm for the house and move furniture around. I really am at my wits end with him.
Hubby was mad at me today. What else is new?

It's only May 17

Well it's only May 17 and it seems like it's so long before he comes home for R & R and then he comes home for good. I wonder if he'll get to transfer to automation or not and if he'll make Major. He better get to do both. He had another mission and he said it was good. I haven't heard from him though anymore today. I guess he's just busy.
South Park was great again tonight-hippies and their stupidness (is that a word?)
I was very disappointed in W's speech Monday night. Why can't we send the illegals back? They broke the law and they'll be rewarded. If they have a pathway to citizenship it's amnesty pure and simple. Comprehensive immigration reform my ass. If I hear that one more time I'm going to scream. Here's an idea-make all those between the ages of 18-40 who are here illegally go into the military and they can have their own little new branch of service and then send them all to Iraq. If they come home they can become citizens. Or else have them build a wall and then send them home. Hasta La Vista baby!

So it's the Friday before Mother's Day and I diverge

Well, here we are and as of yet nothing from hubby who claims not to have had time to look for a gift or flowers for me for Mothers Day. Well, he had time to buy sheets, computer games and a trumpet for himself. I really sometimes wonder if he really loves me. I mean, he didn't even get me my own engagement ring. I had to wear the ones that were worn by the previous occupants. I mean, I think if I was on number 3 I'd get a new ring and see if that brought me anymore luck. I reluctantly got a new setting but that was only after he had gone out to "gamble" and lost money and took the camcorder to take pictures of women's boobs and butts. Wow, that made me really happy. Of course let's not forget that he was still communicating with the ex-wife while he was in Kosovo and listed her still as his "wife" on his Geico insurance. I really don't feel appreciated by him. It feels like he takes me for granted, which I guess he does. I do a lot for him and try to help him as much as possible. I also take great care of his beautiful children. However, while I've yet to open my Mother's Day card from him (perhaps there is a gift card in there) I haven't received anything yet. If there is no gift I will buy what I want for Mother's Day on Monday. It's as simple as that!

He had better been kidding.

Well, I asked Michael this morning if he sent me any flowers or a gift for mother's day and he went on about rockets red glare going into his base. He also went on to tell me he ordered a trumpet and couldn't wait for it to get there. It is certainly my contention that if he had time to order a trumpet he had time to order me a gift. I ordered his mother, who absolutely cannot stand me and I feel likewise some flowers because she has been ill this year. I also managed to order flowers for both his grandmothers. So to sum up I certainly hope he remembered me beyond a card for mother's day. I am tired I have been up all night with the Princess but . . . until tomorrow then.

A Princess goes in for surgery

Well, today little Miss had to have surgery on her eyes and ears. Some good news though---her PDA has closed aand she doesn't have to see the cardiologist anymore. YEA! She didn't have her regular ENT doc for the ear surgery. I really like her regular doctor better. She has to see Dr. Winkle tomorrow morning. She seems to be having a harder time tonight--bloody nose, crabby, etc. However, she is getting older now too. She has really nice doctors, Dr. Cable, Dr. Winkle, Dr. Kaelin. Dr. Kaelin helped to put her to sleep since has that as part of her residency. I was glad she was there for her.
Well, hubby is back at his home base. I don't quite know what it is he does. I guess one day I will learn it. JPM really misses his Daddy.
Well, until whenever then!
BTW South Park was funny again tonight

It's Friday

Well, it seems that since I can only use the computer in our son's room I have less time to keep up with this because I have a lot to say.
We haven't heard from hubby today but I know he is at another place and know he has to travel to get there. I do worry about that. I don't know how long he will be there or how far it is from his home base. I know that he's busy and somewhat upset by his work over there. I know he liked it at first but I think something happened and now he has a bad taste. I don't know, I may be wrong about that. I know he said he has to get some letter or something to me to Fedex to the board so he can change career paths. I also know the Major board is meeting now but I don't think it will be a positive outcome on this. He's gotten totally screwed by the people who do is OERs out here.
till whenever then

It's now May

Well it's May. I am hoping that the year continues to go on it's fast track. It's hard to believe but the little man will be 2 at the end of the month. I've also been trying to get sick but have been fighting it. However, I think I'm beginning to lose the battle. I feel terrible and I know I am so crabby. I had to pick up MC from school yesterday and took her up to Schofield for an appt. because she's sick and John has the sniffles and coughing too. Michael said he's getting fat which I can't see but he says the food is really good. I am glad that he's enjoying that part. For whatever reason his "safe" mission took fire. I guess he gets some type of badge which he was happy about. He said he had good news and bad news--I asked for the bad news first-he got shot at, good-the armour worked. Yea!!!! I thank God for that. Not sure what he's doing over there but it's not what I thought it would be based on his designation. Right now the board is meeting and deciding whether or not he will make Major on his first go around. He also has another thing coming up this month about moving out of his current designation to another one that he likes. I hope that he's sleeping well as it's almost 6 a.m. on Weds. over there. I really miss having him here. I am lonely without him and the kids really miss him too.
Till tomorrow then.

It's nice to see someone not making fun of Bush for a change

As I have admitted to earlier, I do watch "South Park" and this week was great. It was on Al Gore and boy was it funny. They really did him good. Well I do know that South Park has a lot of crude humour in it, it was great to see them go after one of the dems for a change. I taped it for hubby so he could laugh at it too.
Well, haven't heard from him today. I figure since it's evening over there he's probably on a mission since he generally buzzes me and tells me he's going to sleep while I'm waiting for the bus with MC. I hope that he is safe. We still have a long way to go. I can't believe in some sense that May is almost here but at the same time it's still another 9 1/2 months. Which I guess is better than 12 months but still. I wish he was home.
Well I saw Donna our real estate agent today. She thinks we'll do well when we sell our house. I hope so.
Well till tomorrow then!

Well, another interesting day.

Today, I had to go back to Schofield to get the correct form for the DMV. I ran into our old babysitter and she's expecting and getting married. She was always a nice person and MC liked to be babysat by her.
I also found out that hubby should have spoken up louder about not being finished with his Masters (just 2 classes shy) and perhaps he would have been out of the deployment and perhaps we would be out of HI.
Anywho, it's been another trying day as I try to adjust to getting up early to get MC ready for school. I try to go back to sleep (and have been) but I think I should just get up and stay up.
Till tomorrow then!

MC's back in school and we're at 10 months to go!

Well, little Miss returned to school today after her 3 week spring break. She did not want to get up this morning but neither did her mom. Luckily the little Prince slept through the commotion of her leaving and I was able to get back to sleep for a bit. He's had a fun day playing outside and watching his new Thomas tapes and running around saying "toot, toot!". Now they're both watching Barney.
Well, as of tomorrow (well it's tomorrow where hubby is) there is 10 months to go. I know it's better than 12 months or 11 months to go but when we get into the single digit months to go (next month) maybe it won't seem so long. I am worried about him because he drives around and this weekend 8 military people (marines and army) died because of IED's. I think they're finally getting their act together inregards to forming a government. I think three years is enough and if they can't get it together but if we leave now it will be an even bigger mess.
Today there was a bad accident in which 4 people were killed on Kunia road (that's the road hubby would take into work all the time) by someone who (surprise!) turned into Schofield Barracks. A silver sedan (this car seems remarkably familiar). When I used to go up there all the time to work out I used to get passed at about the same time every time by this silver, red and white cars who were late for work. Now because someone couldn't roll their ass out of bed on time 4 people are dead. He didn't even stop-no surprise again. They hate the military out here and this isn't going to help matters much.
Well, they're whining that they have to go to the mainland to train for the July deployment because the environmental wackos have got the army off the big island. Which is a win for the anti-military crowd that abounds out here. On a positive note none of the news stations mentioned that hag sheehan's visit out here--just the HOnolulu Pravadtiser. They're her champions.
Well, till tomorrow then.

Another exciting Saturday-not

Well, the good news is got a text message from hubby this morning at about 4:30. i was happy to get it! It was the only communication I received from him all day. It's now about 9:35 a.m. over there. I wonder what he's up to. I saw on the news today where 5 soldiers died when their vehicle ran over an IED. I thought all these things were supposed to be uparmoured to prevent that. Oh, that's right, I forgot, the Los Angeles Times told everyone in the world how they did that and that gave they insurgents ideas how to make their bombs better so that they could return to killing more soldiers. Freedom of the Press, you gotta love it. I think we need to go back to the days of WW2 when they had some decency-if they didn't their asses landed in jail. Or the Civil War when the Great Emancipator took away habeas corpus and threw all kinds of people in jail just for doing their "so called Patriotic duty" by speaking out. That's what that asshole john kerry said today. If he should per chance be our next president I will take every opportunity to protest his or any other democrats action involving our troops. It will be the patriotic thing to do.
Till tomorrow then!

We haven't heard from Michael yet today

Well, I am a bit worried since we didn't hear from hubby today. I saw where an Australian was killed today but nothing about any Americans although I did see where some received a close call and their counterparts traveling behind them (the Iraqis_ were injured by an IED.
I am tired of the little strip tease artist. He's ready to be trained. NOW.

I hope that when the bitch sheehan comes this weekend she'll get her lights punched out

Well, that crazy ass hag, bitch sheehan is coming to the islands again. I think she should rot in hell. Why does she get all the press. I think she is deranged and that this is a great thing for her--no one else in her family behaves the way she does. I think she's truly enjoying all this adulation she receives. I don't even feel sorry for her anymore. Why don't the other parents who support the troops get any air time, why do we always here her mealy mouthed voice.
Another thing, when is this damn natalee holloway bitch story going to go away? I am sick of seeing her media savy mother on television everyday and her stupid daughter. There are thousands of missing kids here in the USA but they don't get the coverage that blonde bimbo does. It's too bad she's dead but you know, people die everyday and no one cares. She isn't even missing here but in a foreign country. I thought when you left the USA you left behind all of the rights of citizenship. Why is the FBI wasting my tax dollars on this stupid girl?

Tomorrow we will be out here 3 years.

Well tomorrow it will be three years since MC and I left FL to move out here. Michael had already been out here about 6 weeks and I didn't want to come. It's still to far away from my family and it was the last time I saw the sweetest little puppy girl-Scarlett. Scarlett wouldn't even jump in my lap when we left for the airport. I wanted to take her but HI had an animal quarantine then and she wouldn't have survived it.
Well, it's raining tonight and I am glad. The grass is brown again-even the new stuff Michael planted last year. I don't know what to do. It was green and then when it got cut all the brown was underneath.
Tomorrow we have to be up early because MC has a doctor's appt at 8. We won't have time to talk to Michael in the morning tomorrow. He's pretty confident that he may have a good chance to switch to automation. I hope that he does get that. It would make him happier--I don't think he's crazu about Quartermaster. I am so happy when I get to talk to him. I h ope that things are going well for him. I know he's upset about the room situation but I'm not sure what exactly is happening. I think the Reservists are driving them nuts. However, I think that's part of their mission in the Army. They like the extra money the get for dressing up and playing Army once a month and two weeks a year and then they whine when they get deployed and their families whine about it too and how they dont' have no money now because spouse is getting paid less than spouse generally does. Well, welcome to life in the active duty Army. My husband could be making more than he does in the "coperate world". Well, I hope that he's doing well tonight (actually it is almost 10 in the morning where he is) and I hope he slept well. I know he's busy doing whatever it is he does. I hope that he stays safe.
Till tomorrow then!

Hubby shaved his mustache

Well we got to see Michael today on the webcam and he looked like himself again--no mustache. I don't know why he shaved it but he did and I'm glad. However, I think most of the Iraqis have them and I think that's why they all grew them. I was so glad that whoever turned in that missing item whatever it was.
I am really exhausted tonight so till tomorrow then!

Saint Anthonly came around

Well, whoever took the missing, sensitive item returned it this morning so Michael is off the hook for that. I am so glad that it was returned. I haven't really heard too much from him today except that he was going to go to bed early. I think he's exhausted. He's not sure what is going on with the room situation. I don't really understand it either. It would be nice if they would let them have one room or stay in one place and just stay there. I hope that things get settled soon.
Well looks like MC is going to have her eyes probed on May 10. I have to call Sitters HI again and pay a princely sum.
Speaking of princely sums the yard guy came today. He had a helper and they were done in about 3 hours or so. It was really expensive but boy does it look nice. All those weeds from the rocks are gone, the rosemary was cut, the chives were too. The hibiscus and hedges are now the same height. The weed wacking and edging were done. Michael would be happy. It's worth it though.
Well, I need to get on my chores. I guess I need to set a calendar up.
Well, till tomorrow then!

Happy Easter & Happy Birthday to Pope Benedict

Well today is Easter and we are without Michael. I missed him this morning at church (his bi-annual visit). He's had a rough day. Someone stole something he left in his humvee and whatever it is it isn't good he lost this item. He will have to pay for it and I guess it's a chaching. It also doesn't look good in his records. I told his Grandmother and she said he shouldn't have left it in the car anyway. True that but that's the last thing you want to hear. I've been praying to St. Anthony as has my folks. They light a candle for him as they always do when they go to church on Sundays.
We had a good day with the neighbors across the street. JPM got filthy playing in the yard. MC slept but then woke up and had fun watching everyone.
Well, till tomorrow then!

The joys of having a child that many think should just be exterminated.

Once again I digress from the deployment business for a bit to discuss the joys of being parents to a child with "special needs". Today a couple who are expecting a little girl with Down Syndrome came over to meet with Mary Catherine and us. They talked about how when they found out that their baby had DS the doctors readily dismissed their child and recommended extermination. They said that they really felt pressured as I'm sure we would have had we had the amnio. I knew something wasn't right in the beginning and had a "gut feeling" my baby would have DS. While it hasn't always been easy nor will it ever be, I feel that we have been given a great gift. A girl who will never go to college or will probably never marry but a girl who will bring joy in other ways that we can't imagine. She has a ready smile every morning for me and her daddy (when he's here and when he's on the webcam) and she has a brother who is a typical brother but one who loves her just the same.
We would be lost without our sweetest little girl. We feel fortunate that we were given the gift of Mary Catherine.
Happy Easter

Good Friday, 2006

Well today is Good Friday and I don't feel like I normally do on Good Friday. It's generally a time of reflection for me but this year it just seems like it's another day, another dollar. I went up to the Commissary to get some shrimp for dinner and some gas as it's going up again this week. Then I got the car washed by some group who was washing cars. The tv is out again and I can't get it fixed so I had to call someone and that's going to be some chaching. The new yard guy is going to come on Monday and to clean up all the weeds around the rocks on the side of the house, the rosemary bush, the chives, the rock mess that the cats help themselves to, trimming the hibiscus and the other hedges, cutting and trimming the grass it will be about $300. Which it won't be after this but I knew it would be expensive to have all this work done. But it needs to be done. I just can't do it. I would like to get the molly maids in the house but I can live with cleaning, I just don't seem to be able to get this yard taken care of. The other guy kind of gives me the creeps anyway. This guy goes to my church and found him on the back of the bulletin. So, that's that.
I haven't been to attentive to Lent this year. I gave up Brownies which I don't eat that often anyway. Well, I need to get the children up from their naps.
Tomorrow a family who is expecting a DS baby is coming over to meet Mary Catherine. I guess I should run to Carter's and get the baby a present.
Till tomorrow then.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if CA fell into the Pacific

There was some moron college student from UC Santa Cruz where these absolute assholes did not allow the military to recruit off of their campus. This idiot kid who doesn't know his ass from his elbow was making faces and everything else at Bill O'Reilly. Not that I agree with O'Reilly these morons have done this before and I wish the government would get off it's ass and stop allowing federal funding to these so called institutions of higher learning that don't allow the military on campus. I hate this crop of college students who seem to live in outer space. It's funny, these people are spoiled, little jerks who are the evil seeds of these anti-war radicals from Viet Nam. It's terrible to say things like it wouldn't be a bad thing if CA fell into the Pacific but these people don't have a clue. I suppose in the places that are small towns and all that there are some nice people who disagree with the crowds of clowns out there. I suppose it would be good if SF, UC Santa Cruz, Malibu, Hollywood and Los Angeles would fall in the ocean. That wouldn't be a bad thing. I despise the liberal, anti-war crowd and think they need a wake up call. I hope that the next time there is a terrorist attack (because there wil be one) these people's loved ones are killed and maimed. That just might wake them up to the reality that their wanting to love the fanatics isn't a good thing.

Going down to South Park going to meet some friends of mine.

Number 10 reason why this year has to go fast-I am back to watching South Park. I used to watch it so I would know what my former students were talking about. It was on Weds. nights and it seemed I didn't have any classes either in grad school or law school on those nights. There is absolutely nothing on on Weds. nights so the only thing for me to watch is stupid "Ghost Hunters"-which has got to be the stupidest show on tv and "South Park" which is still pretty funny. Anywho, the equally childish "The Office" is on tomorrow night.
Well, just more musings on my ultra exciting life here in HI.
The Titanic sunk 92 years ago today and my cousin died 28 years ago today.

No Army Ball for us this year

Well, yesterday on my AKO account I got a mass emailing for tickets to the Army Ball in Washington, D.C. It will be at the Hilton (the same one President Reagan was shot at) in June. I bet it would be a fun thing to go to. Hubby says maybe next year we can go to it. That would be great. I would love to go. I would venture a guess that the food will be much better than the food at last years Ball out here. It was also at the Hilton. I got smashed. Not my fault though because there wasn't enough water on the table. The food also was terrible.
Speaking of hubby, I got to talk to him 3 X today. It was great. I was so happy to talk to him. Unfortunately it seems that when I am copying the dvd's for him of his shows they're not coming out. I don't know what the problem is but it's not copying to the dvd's.
Well today I took the little ones to see the Easter Bunny. Boy was that a trip. JPM cried the whole time he was with the bunny and MC laughed. Boy, did her shiner ever show up. It's a funny picture as you can see. In a few years JPM won't want to sit with the Bunny. Funny thing though as soon as the pictures were taken he stopped crying and she started up. We then went and got him an Easter outfit. He'll look like a real dandy on Sunday. I will post pictures of the cuties in their outfits. She has a beautiful dress I picked up in FL for her.
Well, till tomorrow then!

When you close your eyes do you dream about me?

Just a question to the only person who reads this blog.

Tomorrow we will attempt a picture with Easter Bunny

Well tomorrow I thought I would take the little ones to see the Easter Bunny. I'm sure JPM didn't go see him last year. He was still with the foster family when Easter came last year. MC of course made her annual pilgrimage as she has done every year since she was a little over 6 weeks old. I don't know what I will dress them in but I don't think they'll be as dressed up as they were when they saw Santa Claus. HOwever, MC has another shiner as she and brother were in my room sitting on the bed. I think she fell but not sure if brother helped her on her way down the bed. She seems okay though. She did hit him today and he has a little red mark on his cheek. Sibling rivalry I guess.
Heard from hubby today briefly. He spent some money on things for his bed and other assorted things for his job. Sometimes it just seems like all we do is spend money. I and Octavia took turns paying for our food and such when she was here. So I defintely racked up some points on the credit card then as well.
Hubby is happy that the one house like ours is being offerred at 499K. I think it will ultimately go for 450K. The seller is now offerring 1% help on closing costs. They also want one month rent back which I take to mean they want to rent the place for a month after it sells. That can't be too cheery for buyer who would be anxious to get into their new home. I like our house I'm just anxious to get back to the mainland. I'm also anxious to see what we'll get for it. I'm torn between having Donna be our agent or going thru Help-U-Sell. I don't think I could be here for an Open House and have someone dog the house. I would be apt to tell them that they didn't have to buy it and to get the hell out. Probably would be much better if I had Donna take care of it.
Little JPM is watching Thomas the Tank Engine and is having a good time. He keeps saying "toot, toot". He's also saying "Oh, Goody" a lot. I think he's picked that up from that stupid Baby Bop on "Barney". UUUGGGHHH-I hate Barney-I love you, you love me-homosexuality-how bad am I?
Till tomorrow then!

An Immigration Lesson for those who went to Public School & other assorted musings

Today about a million mostly illegal, Spanish speaking immigrants marched throughout this land of ours to DEMAND their rights. Well, illegal means just that--you committed a crime by sneaking across our borders and there are many who came here via the marriage route and then vamoosed after a reasonable time. However, that is another story for another day.
Now for that pesky history lesson. Previously immigrants had to come through a port of entry-a place like Ellis Island (in the mid 19th and early 20th centuries), etc. In the early times of our country people came here to colonize and had to pay their way either through being indentured servants, their own means, religious institutions and the worst case scenario many were brought as slaves. However, in the late 19th century the WASP's became alarmed at the numbers of Irish, Italians, Slavs, Jews, etc. that were coming to this country. So they passed laws limiting the numbers from each area. These individuals also came into a port of entry such as Ellis Island. You were turned back if you had TB, were insane, found to be feeble minded (a term no longer used but in reality if we had come here 120 years ago with our dear daughter, we would have had to make the decision as to whether or not my husband and son would stay and myself and my daughter would go back or we would all go back to the home country together). You also had to stay at the port of entry for a few days and were tagged like cattle. This storming of the borders is not the way that immigration should be handled. I would also like to point out to the open border crowd that more than just these so called "hard working families" are coming through here. We will have another terrorist attack and as much as it pains me I think every American knows that you can't get everything right 100% of time, sometimes things get through. I can tell you this, if it is found that the terrorsits who committed the act came through the Mexican border than maybe the Americans will wake up. Being stuck out here in the Peoples Republic of Hawaii I doubt that there will be any anti-amnesty for people who don't want to speak our language rallies out here. It was funny that the Mexicans dropped their Mexican flags and brought American flags to their rallies today. It was also telling though that they all carried signs in spanish and chanted in spanish. Our son will never learn spanish if I have anything to say about it. He will learn French before he learns spanish.
Another bit of advice to liberal, "open minded", democrats-this is the party which put people of Japanese descent into internment camps. That would include our son. Our little boy would have been in one if he was born in 1944 instead of 2004. Just something for the "liberal minded" fools to think about.
Well, hubby says that my blog is depressing. I don't try to be depressing. I just am tired and overwhelmed and lonely. I really know no one out here and we are all alone.
I don't understand that 911 dispatcher in Detroit with that little boy whose mother died. I guess parents teaching their children to use the 911 program to call for help is not helpful if the dispatchers think the kids are making prank calls.
Oh well, till tomorrow then.
