When will it end??

I am so sick and tired of Barack and Michelle Obama. They are two of the most narcissitic people I've seen in a long time. What a bitch she is. He, well socialist about describes it.

So we have to bail out losers too?

Well, I am about to make a phone call to my senators and the White House. I am fed up with having to pick up the tab of the irresponsible be they on welfare, medicaid or people who bought a big home and now they can't afford it. Losers all. I have no pity for them. I think I will be cutting back on charitable giving to those who are losers on welfare, medicaid and have to be bailed out of their mortgage. I support them with my taxes, that's enough.

Why must we bail out losers who are in foreclosure?

What the hell is wrong with this damn government? Why do the "grownups" have to bail out the "piggy kids" who are in foreclosure. I think very soon there is going to be some riots because I am sick and tired of these welfare hacks, these losers who are in foreclosure and having to clean up their mess.

If Tim Robbins died, I'd laugh

So, we got that creep Tim Robbins out there doing another "anti-war" film. It's disgusting that these clowns are allowed to even play people in the military. I can 't stand seeing his ugly ass mug in "Top Gun" either. What a pig, and his skank ho-those two-ick. They tell us that we're the "haters". I'm sure this flick will flop just like every other anti-war film has.

So, who cares part ?

Well this morning there was a Faux news alert about some clown that used to be engaged to Nicole Richie and another clown who used to be a drummer for Blink 182 being in an accident in a lear jet on their way to Van Nuys, CA. These clowns constantly yap about the "environment" and how awful everything in this country is. Wow, and these fools were in a lear jet. Stupendously stupid.

Some "victims" of Hurricane Ike

You know, all over the news are these stories from TX about the idiots who decided to "ride out the storm" in Galveston. Now these "victims" are complaining that they aren't getting help. IDIOTS you were supposed to evacuate. Color me mean but I have no sympathy for these fools.

So a new version of "The Women" is opening-hmmh

Well, I see that they've "updated" the classic Clare Booth Luce play and 1939 movie, "The Women". It's basically about these rich women who all shop, shop, shop and one of these women-Mary Haines' husband who has an affair with the perfume counter girl. She divorces him, he marries perfume girl and then eventually goes back to Mary and the girl goes back to the perfume counter and there are some other assorted side stories of approximately 8 other women. Funny thing at least about the 1939 version, we never see one man in the movie. Even at the end when Mary comes out of the ladies room (maybe that's where the idea of a "meeting in the ladies room" song came from) and walks to the husband, we still never see him. Well, I'll take Norma Shearer as Mary Haines over Meg Ryan any day. All except one of these people in the new film were mocking Sarah Palin-that's enough for me not to see this flick. I used to really like Meg Ryan but once she left her husband for Russle Crowe who then kicked her to the curb and married someone else, I haven't liked her. I hope it bombs like the Hindenburg.

It's been 7 years since 9/11

So, today various people are discussing where they were 7 years ago. As Glenn Beck said I can remember everything about 9/11, 12, 13 and for maybe the week after but I don't know what I was doing on 9/10.
I was working and got a text phone message from Michael saying the Pentagon had been attacked and there was also a coffee at Mrs. Brooks' that evening.
The line getting into Post the next day was terrible and terrible for about a month after.
Today most Americans think nothing about this day or they blame Bush. There is so much hatred in this country for the Republicans and our President. I cannot stand these people and while I don't "hate" them per se, there are many I wish would just go away and either die or crawl under a rock and never come back.

If William Ayers died I would laugh too!

So, this unrepentent terrorist is still yapping. So now Obummer called Sarah Palin a pig. And this is what the Ivy League gets ya, ha? Give me a good old state university anyday.

Why do we always want the things we can't have?

So lately I've been thinking about when we first got married, living in that God awful trailer at Fort Stewart. We were very happy and seemed to have a lot more money. I guess we did because I was making more than I ever had and we both were working. We used to go into Savannah a lot and do fun things like Ghost Tours through the OSC and just going out to eat. Don't know why I'm thinking about that all of the sudden. But while I didn't want to move there to begin with, I was very sad to leave. I sometimes think it would be nice to get back there but he'd be deployed all the time. And of course things wouldn't be the same. No one I used to work with still works in my old department except Vicki Motely and she'd always be giving me ringworm again or asking for money. Heck the admin staff is completely different too. I guess we can't go back in time.

So, they're at it again

The idiot Obama and Hair Plug's R Us, are out and about again bashing the Republicans. I would like to know what exactly are esteemed dimocraptic congress has done in the two years old blinky and the mortician have been in charge? Let's see, gas prices are through the roof, they pass laws that said anyone can get a mortgage so now we have people who shouldn't have gotten one or got more than they could afford being foreclosed upon-prime example next door to us, and we've got a terrible economy which will only get worse once the Lord God Barack ascends to the dias at the innauguration.

Sarah Palin Rocks

Sarah Palin gave a bang up speech and these haters on the DS/Autism blog are still bashing her. I think I am done with this group forever.
Be afraid Barack, be very afraid.

The "peaceful" anti-war protestors

Well, well, well the anti-war lunatics rolled into St. Paul today and caused havoc wherever their skank and smelly asses went. They broke windows, burned cars and just were all around jackasses (yes, the dim symbol). Of course Republicans are well behaved but these people are just fools. Don't they have to work? No, they're generally trust fund babies.
And another why is this person alive question-Michael Moore. He's fat as hell and he should be dead of a heart attack by now. Just asking.

Review of the Journey concert

So, I forgot to review the "Journey, Heart & Cheap Shit" concert at the Nissian Pavilion this past Wednesday. Well no one was really in the place when Cheap Shit came on and no one was really "into it" either. The idiot guitar player starts yapping politics and people start booing. Then they play "Dream Police" or "Green Police" as Steve Dahl used to sing was their oncour and they had to bring Journey's drummer, whoever the hell he is and Jonathan Cain out to sing it. Heart kicked butt. They were excellent again as they were 26 years ago. They thanked the fans for coming out and being there through the years-no not the Kenny Rogers song. They did "Rain" from "The Who" which was excellent. Of course the fact it was raining was interesting too. Journey has the new singer who of course sounds and somewhat looks a bit like Steve Perry. Fun times had by those who were rockers. However, there was "party poopers in the house!" who complained about the standers. It isn't the Opera or the Sympthony-it's a rock concert.
The Journey continues.

I'm psyched!

Sarah Palin is the Veep nominee for the Republican party. I see more contributions to John McCain's campaign. I'm thrilled to death about this ticked. The MSM and libs are all getting their proverbially panties in a wad.

I'm psyched!

There are so many stupid people in this country

What a bunch of fools. Nobama

When will that skank Madonna go away

I wonder, when is this skank going to go away? I mean she's sucha whore and she is a disgusting pig. When Madonna dies I will laugh!

I really should be doing something besides . . .

So, if I was single what would I be doing today? Well, the kids are asleep, Michael is asleep and I feel like I need to be out and about doing something other than sitting here typing at the computer. I have no money so I can't do anything. I have no money because of this stupid house. UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I really don't like my house or neighborhood

So, I'm trolling for houses again. I don't like this house and I cannot help it. I just have not liked it since we look at it and I still don't like it. It's a money pit and I know it's going to break the bank. I hate being so poor and not having any money. I just really don't like this house. I hope I like it in a year.

REFRAIN FROM MOUNTAINEER PEST CONTROL, AUGUSTA, GA

TO ALL WHO GOOGLE MOUNTAINEER PEST CONTROL-PLEASE AVOID THIS COMAPNY LIKE THE PLAGUE. THEY DO NOT TREAT MILITATRY PEOPLE WELL AND THEY GIVE YOU 3 DAYS TO PAY A BILL AND THEN TURN YOU OVER TO COLLECTIONS-SEE YOU IN COURT MOUNTAINEER PEST CONTROL COMPANY OF AUGUSTA, GA. YOU SUCK!

I hate Augusta, GA

I realize I mentioned this multiple times before but I really, really, really despise my time in Augusta, GA. I can't believe those SOB's screwed my credit report so bad. It dropped 130 points! I cannot fathom how this happened. I paid those idiots. I cannot stand anything to do with Augusta. And to think I was so happy to be coming back to the main land and how excited we were that GA was "On my mind". I have no problem with Hinesville/Savannah/Fort Stewart but I do with Augusta/Fort Gordon. What a nightmare place.

Barack Obama is an asshole

The Marxist Obama is trash.

Another day, another nickel

Well, today was exciting. John Paul started at the new playschool. He's pooped and cranky tonight. He's still going to DTPT for another 2 weeks. Guess I gotta get going on the end of year gifts for teachers and bus drivers. I don't know what to get though.
More illegal immigration crap in Fairfax County. What a bunch of losers up there.
Also, tub of lard "hand picked" his own brain surgeon (did they find a brain) while the rest of us schmucks have to suffer with whatever we get. This guy is the epitome of what a hypocrite is. He'll rot soon enough. Mary Jo is still unavailable for comment.

Who cares?????

So, that big fat tub of lard Teddy Kennedy is in the hospital. This warranted a CNN breaking news to my email account. It's all over Fox and CNN. Really is this supposed to mean something to me? It doesn't. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The Kennedy's suck. Mary Jo Koepechne is still unavailable for comment.

Mommy needs a cocktail-I love it!

I love this little blog I found, Mommy needs a cocktail. I think it's the funniest thing I've read in a while. I need a cocktail or a glass of wine everynight.

So I'm back, survived

So, yesterday was terribly sad. Aunt Lou has died. The oldest sister. We need to start a slush fund for funerals for elderly relatives. I am so tired.

I really, really, really hate to fly.

So tomorrow off to Chi-town and not for pleasure. My Aunt Lou has passed away. I am so sad about it though. She came to my wedding and MC's christening. I will find a pic to post.

what to do, what to do.

I want to expand my bathroom and I want to go to Roma. I also long to be in Bath this Winter-from Persuasion.
So, what to do? I really want to get the bathroom redone. I hate it, hate it, hate it.
But I also want to go to Europa. Not sure if and when that will happen but I like to plan fake trips on travelocity and cruises as well.

Are the best years behind me?

Musically I'm still stuck in the 80's. I tried to like the music that came out in the 90's, I really did but it never materialized for me. As I sit listening to the Arena Rock & 80's station, I wonder are the best years 20 years behind me, I seriously doubt they're 20 years ahead of me. So, did my life stop in 1988 or 1989? In many ways yes, it did. When I turned 25, it was downhill from there. Nothing to look forward to age wise. I was a teenager, depressed when I turned 20, 21 was a big deal and I guess 25 too but after that-n0.
I loved Miami Vice, they don't make shows like that anymore. Oh well. Is heaven living in the best time of your life? I mean this is a good time but I didn't have any responsibilities in the 80's. I have tons of it now.

Cake Show

Well went to the Cake Show. I did enjoy the classes but they were a bit confusing. Tomorrow is the one with Nick Lodge. I hope that it goes well.
I really missed my kids and Michael though. It wasn't that long but I miss them so.

i hate liberals

Liberals are the most condescending folks on the planet. They know it all or so they think. I know this is a common theme of mine but I really do hate liberals-they're pigs.
Michael is out and about again. It's hard to trust him. I have to make peace with this because I plan on having a long life. Sometimes I forget but most of the time I don't.

Obama scares the hell out of me

Not only does this clown who wants to be President go to church with an American hating preacher but he also cavorts with this idiotic moron from the Weather Underground who sees nothing wrong with bombing police stations, the Pentagon, who wanted to bomb a dance at Fort Dix that would kill American Army Soldiers. He is an absolute, scary man. He doesn't know his ass from his elbow. He can't figure out if he likes guns or not-what the hell?
It appears to me that Obama, his big mouthed wife, his racist preacher and his anti-American, anti-military friend Bill Ayers needs not to be elected President. But we have a bunch of stupid people in this country, indoctrinated in the public schools and in our colleges and universities, welare queens and round about malcontents who will go to the polls in November and vote for this piece of shit.
I also have the stupidest cousin on the planet who is going to vote for this clown. I don't think I can think the same thing about Pat ever again.

Some sad news

Yesterday not to my surprise I found out that precious Mary Catherine has autisim in addition to Down Syndrome. I cannot help but feel that this is all my fault. The sins of the mother have been visited upon the daughter. She is so very precious and I just love that little girl so. I cannot imagine my life without her.
John Paul will be with us for 3 years tomorrow. Life with him is truly an adventure. Never a dull moment with him around either. He is an adorable, beautiful little boy. I cannot imagine life without him either. I am truly blessed with the kekei.

April Fools Day

April 1st always brings back memories of Schererville, In, where I grew up. Rosie Schaffer, who wasn't very smart was born on this day. She was goofy.

Alternate Universe

So, I was channel surfing and came upon this stupid show on Bravo called "The Real Housewives of NYC". It was quite funny as I didn't see one pick up a mop. One was traveling with her Brit husband to one of the Dutch islands and the stupid husband bragged that they spent nearl 6 figures outfitting this woman who "was fortunate for the stupid guy and her" that she looked like a model. Another with her husband Count Olaf (not really his name but he was Count something) was buying a dog and they were naming it Aston and getting another one Martin for the car. Then they said the cleaning lady (non English speaker) would have to clean up the mess. It was a very strange show. It's very strange but quite popular.

Happy Easter 2008

My clothes are fitting better and I have to get back on the exercise band wagon tomorrow. When I lose another 20 pounds I promise myself two new dresses. I need to go through my clothes and get rid of the ones that will soon be too big for me. I am hoping to be a lot thinner this time next Easter.
I went to a Sunrise Mass this morning and it was nice. Not at all crowded and just nice. I am tired though having gotten up at 4:30 this morning but will be okay.
I have to get dinner together soon. Easter Parade is on. I still think Fred Astaire is a fairy.

Here I am a year later

Wow, a lot has happened. I decided to start this back up again.
First off, to our great surprise we miss Hawaii very much. Not the liberal, anti-war, anti-haole Hawaii but the beauty, the laid backness and the kindness of many people who outnumber the vocal minority.
We couldn't wait to get to GA but what a disaster that was. First off, we didn't get any money back on our deposit and secondly the stupid pest company sent my account to collections.
Now we are living in Bristow, VA, in a house I'm still not pleased with but trying to learn to love. I hated the house on Pololia for quite sometime but now it is on my screen when I log in.
Funny how time changes things.
Also, I am in the process of trying to get a home bakery business going. So, I will start baking cookies in a few.
Michael is up in Gettysburg, PA, today with his class at ILE. He's a Major now and has met his Grandfather's rank. He had talked about getting out but now talks about staying in until LTC. Time will tell.
I love Gettysburg myself. The Cashtown Inn will be on Ghost Hunters next week. That has to be one of the most haunted places in America. I would like to go back but the kids are too small.
Well today is Holy Thursday. I haven't done anything for Lent. I really have to get back to being a better Catholic and a better person.

Aloha Oe'

Well, today I am preparing to probably shut down this blog for good. We are preparing for the movers to come tomorrow and we will be leaving Hawaii. I am somewhat sad to leave my home that we have made our own. We came when Mary Catherine was 10 weeks old and we adopted John from here. I love the way our house looks now but hated it when we moved in. I was so depressed to be so far away. A lot has happened. While I won't miss the reverse racism I have encountered out here or the virulent anti-military and anti-war crowds out here. Just as I had nothing to do with slavery, I did not have anything to do with the overthrow of the Queen. So, it is with some regret that I leave some of the wonderful people I have met here and our wonderful home. I will also miss the fact I can watch Bill O'Reilly in the afternoon and not have to pick and choose for television prime time. That I will certainly miss.
Aloha Nui Loa

Did a Head of State die today?

Today Anna Nicole Smith died and really, who cares? Well, evidently everybody but me. This was a Fox News Alert and all over CNN, MSNBC and FOX News. Why, why, why? This is all very strange to me. However, I must be the strange one because this is all over the place.

If I see one more commercial for ED meds I am going to puke!

I really don't care that old fogeys or baby boomers having sex. Ick ick ick

Keeping Secrets

Throughout most of my dating career when I quit dating the guy, I always thought it was a good idea to break all contact because you just can't get that person out of your thoughts when someone else comes into the picture. I finally did that with old MJ about 9 months before I met Michael. However, I must be stupid for I seem to be the only one who has done this. I really feel no need to keep in touch with any of the clowns that I dated, yes, most of them were clowns. A few weren't but the majority of them were with MJ driving the clown car and TW riding shot gun. However, this isn't the first time, not even the second time this has happened. I thought with that "nikki" situation two years ago he'd figure out that keeping secrets doesn't make me happy. Well, surprise, surprise today I was going to cc a note to Donna to him and when I clicked on his blog along pops up this stank bitch who had stolen credit card checks from him while we were being married and who actually got prosecuted for this little endeavor. Now, speaking just for myself this would be one person I think I would stay far away from. But again this is just me. Well, surprise this person is listed on my husband's yahoo friends and is number one on the hit parade. This is one ugly piece of white trash. Missing teeth, got her icky big chest sticking out & is just plain nasty. I know I don't look like I did when we got married but I don't look like that piece of shit, white trash. Let's see first deployment there was the ex-wife who was still listed as the wife on car insurance that I went to pay for and got that big surprise and a phone book with divorce lawyers handed to me. I'm really upset about this. If anyone cares.

I hate liberals

I really hate liberals and there isn't much more that I want to say on a day when idiot Hillary announces she's in it to win it. I will be as vocal as these idiots are now if we get stuck with that bioch for 8 years.

Another two bite the dust

Well in addition to this blogs one year anniversary I also just got a CNN newsflash that two of Saddam's henchmen (1 1/2 brother) had their neck tie party tonight. Well, too bad, so sad. We all have to die sometime I guess but I doubt they but much thought into the deaths of all the people they ordered; you know like putting people feet first while alive into a wood chipper, gassing innocent men, women and babies just because they were Kurds-kind of like Hitler, the thugs uday and qusay who would rape women and then have them eaten by their doberman pinchers. Yeah, real nice people and we should all shed a tear for these idiots. I don't think so.
I wish anti-war people would go and live in Iran and Cuba and get out of here. I really hate these fools and sorry we have to suffer them and their condescension. They would make Lady Catherine De Burgh look like nothing.
Somewhat interesting news. Donna is trying to get our house on "Sell This Hous". That would be great but not getting my hopes too high up. I would like to sell the house though sooner rather than later.
Well, till tomorrow then

Tomorrow is this blogs birthday!

Well, I've not been as faithful as I should have been. The parents are gone now so perhaps I can be. Tomorrow this blog will celebrate it's first birthday. Hubby will be away for exactly one year. Time flies even if you're not having fun!
till tomorrow then!

Georgia on my mind

Georgia has been on my mind because I can't wait to get there. I dreaded moving to GA when I first married but hated to leave when we left. I am excited about going back there. I really liked Georgia a lot. I know it will be a bit different when we go back because 1) we're not newlyweds anymore, 2)( we have two keiki, 3) we're not at Fort Stewart. But that's okay, as long as we're together that will be okay.
Folks are headed back to FL as we speak so will have more time to devout to the blog.
Till tomorrow then.

Just a quick Happy New Year, much late

Aloha 2007 & may it be the last I spend in HI.

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.
