Vacation
Well, we've been home from Chicago since Tuesday afternoon. I am saddened in many ways. I will never see many of these people again. But I can't write right now, too sad.

Who really cares about the "stars" at some stupid ass dinner
The news and infotainment is all aflutter about the stupid White House Correspondant's Dinner last night with the Messiah and his heffer. They keep referring to him as the Commander in Chief. That is an insult to those who wear the uniform to refer to him in such an inane manner. There were no "troops" there last night with the "stars". I cannot stand this boy king.
The ultimate though last week was when tax cheat timmy was shaking his head vigirously when the TOTUS was telling us he was going after tax cheats. If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny as hell.

Happy Earth Day Suckers
Wow, so much to learn on this Earth Day founded in part by the Unicorn Killer, Ira Einhorn. Like is grand in lefty land.
I just love the fun Earth Day. So totally cool. Reminds me of my time at the fabulous Indiana State University when they used to give the kids the day off for what was then called Donagy Day named for some goof prof who was a big environmentalist wacko. Susan and I went to Turkey Run for some carbon emitting bar be que and leaving aluminum beer cans in our wake. Aaahhh the good old days when no one gave a damn because we were all supposed to be freezing to death.

barack obama is destroying our country
I hate to say this but barack obama is destroying our country. I dislike this man and his policies greatly but I truly believe that what he is doing is to form the US into something similiar to Venezula. I wonder what the Germans did and felt when Hitler rose to power. Could they believe that was happening? I don't believe what is happening here. His cabal of a cabinet is absolutey lunacy. yet, they party every Weds. night. How nice for a two lunatic, affirmative action pigs to have a cocktail party on the taxpayers dime. Lovely

Boy, do we really miss Hawaii. Aloha Oe, I couldn't wait to leave there but now it seems things would have been better had we stayed. But we are in Bristow, VA. I don't know what to do now.

I hate to fly
Thursday evening a commuter plane goes down near Buffalo, NY. It slams into a house and one person dies in the house. I worry about that little airport in Manassas and a plane coming into our house. But mostly, I hate to fly. I just hate it, it's not natural or normal to fly in a silver tube across the sky. Even if Cpt. Sully was the pilot I may feel better but I would still hate it. I used to not be that way, I used to love to fly but not anymore. It's gotten worse as I have gotten older. I hate it even more when I fly without the kids. I guess my rational is if the kids were with me, we'd go together-Michael too of course but flying to Aunt Lou's funeral was nutty for me.
Bless those poor people and their families. I guess it was 30 seconds of pitching before crash. It must have been the worst and longest 30 seconds, their final seconds of life.

RIP the Hargon Family
Every Valentines Day I think about the Hargon Family of MS. Why you may ask? In 2004, a young family in MS went missing. There was a father, mother, and an adorable just turned 4 y/o boy. It turned out his cousin killed this family. It touched me for some reason-the little boy was just beautiful and I guess it was James Patrick. Eventually they were found dead and I did send $25 to the family towards expenses. Years later I received a Thank You from the dead man's mother. She had beautiful hand writing and thanked me for the money.
Today the article below appeared on the web page of WMAL. It's such a sad story.

VAUGHAN, Miss. (AP) -- Truth is, most of Earnest Lee Hargon's people had been wiped out by the time he went to death row, and those who knew the family weren't sorry to see him go.
He got there by killing his cousin, the cousin's wife and their 4-year-old boy - the one who was supposed to carry on the Hargon name - over getting cut out of a will. He told his wife about it over Valentine's dinner five years ago, hours after the murders.
"I got them, all three," he said.
If the Bible didn't trump superstition around here, some people might call the Hargons cursed. The patriarch, his wife, the young family, the grieving sister, the jealous, murderous cousin - the better part of three generations gone, most of them before their time. Even Earnest Lee died before he was supposed to, stabbed in a prison fight before the state could put him down.
"Maybe pride was our sin that caused this to happen," matriarch Diane Hargon once wrote, looking for the why behind all that befell her family. "We were so proud to be Hargons. This family did anything and everything for friends, family or even strangers in need."
The Hargons were the heart of Vaughan, a community about 40 miles north of Jackson where meandering, tree-lined roads divide sprawling farms. It's best known as the spot where railroad folk hero Casey Jones was killed in a crash in 1900. Everyone knows their neighbors here, and social activities revolve around churches, front porches and pitchers of sweet tea.
And everyone still talks about what happened to the Hargons.
"Everything just lined up the wrong way against this family," said James Powell III, the district attorney who prosecuted the case.
The Hargons' hub was Fowler Road Grocery, the one-story brick building they used as a convenience store for years until 1994, when the killing started.
The robbers arrived on a Friday, when they knew the store would have money on hand to cash checks. One waited in the car while two others went inside. Haywood Hargon (pronounced HAR-gihn), the proprietor and father, was shot and killed before a customer interrupted the robbery. The thieves made off with $114.
The store closed and the Hargons turned the building into a home. Haywood's son Michael eventually moved in with his wife and their boy, undeterred by living in the house where strangers shot his father down. Michael was an easygoing construction worker with a quick wit and a generous personality.
"All you had to do was say you needed something and Michael was scouting around to find it," recalled his aunt, Katherine Hargon Alexander, the lone survivor from her generation of Hargons or the next.
Michael, 27, and his wife Rebecca, a physical therapist's assistant, doted on their son.
"Rebecca was like an angel sent from heaven," Alexander said of the petite 29-year-old. "She was always loving. Always willing to help."
The vibrant couple had much vested in their son, named for his great-grandfather.
"James Patrick was to carry on the family legacy," Michael's mother, Diane Hargon, would later write.
Earnest Lee Hargon, a trucker often described as a modern day cowboy, was adopted into the family when as a young child his mother married a Hargon. Earnest Lee began to unravel in his early 40s with an addiction to crystal methamphetamine, which he began using to stay awake during his long trips hauling cattle.
In January 2004, his adoptive father wrote Earnest Lee out of his will and died soon after, leaving a 50-acre cattle farm in Madison County to Michael instead.
Earnest Lee, simmering over the will weeks after the fact, arrived before daylight that cold Saturday morning in a 1974 Corvette and banged on the door of his cousin's home.
Michael Hargon slipped on his boots and answered the door. They fought. Michael apparently tried to get to his truck where he kept a gun. Some of his teeth were found near the open door of the vehicle. Earnest Lee shot him in the head with a .22-caliber pistol.
His own blood pumping quickly, Earnest Lee stalked through the house. He shot Rebecca in the arm, beat her and choked her but didn't kill her, not right away. Then he choked the child into unconsciousness too.
He threw Michael's body across the Corvette's seats, torso on the passenger side, then heaved Rebecca atop her husband's corpse and stuffed their son in on top of her. Then Earnest Lee got behind the wheel, with his dead cousin's feet against his back, and drove nearly 100 miles south to his Taylorsville farm, ditching the pistol along the way.
Rebecca and the child were still alive when he arrived. This time he strangled the life out of them.
Earnest Lee told police how he cinched a leather strap around the boy's neck and walked away, and how Rebecca died with the child in her arms.
"The baby didn't even cry," he said.
He piled the bodies into a truck and hauled them down a rural road to an isolated field. He buried the family together in a shallow grave and covered it with several pieces of rusted tin.
That night, Earnest Lee took his wife, a veterinarian named Lisa Ainsworth, to a Mexican restaurant for Valentine's dinner. He told her what he'd done: "I got them, all three."
She told police, eventually. More than two weeks after the family disappeared and authorities undertook a massive search, Earnest Lee confessed to authorities and drew a cryptic map to the bodies.
Michael's mother, Diane, was battling colon cancer at the time and had pleaded for the family's safe return. Her hopes dashed, despair became hatred.
"He may have the name of Hargon," she said of the killer, "but no Hargon blood runs through his veins."
In November 2005, 20 months after the killings, Diane Hargon declined an interview with The Associated Press, saying cancer treatments were taking a toll and she needed to save her strength for Earnest Lee's trial.
She died a month too soon.
"God has a weird way of working sometimes," Michael's sister, Jennifer Hargon McBride, said after the trial, lamenting that her mother did not see justice. "But we're strong enough to get through it."
Six months later she was gone too, dead at 26 of an accidental overdose of sleeping medication. She left three children.
Like the other Hargons, Earnest Lee got less time than he expected. Most condemned killers in Mississippi spend 20 years or more on death row waiting to die, but not him. A little more than a year after Jennifer Hargon died, a gang member broke out of his cell at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman and stabbed Earnest Lee 30 times with a homemade knife.
"I thought, pretty much, Earnest Lee got what he deserved and the type of death he had was appropriate for the pain he inflicted," said Powell, the district attorney. "I'm not encouraging anybody to do that, but I'm not sad that it happened."
Today, Michael and Rebecca Hargon's home sits empty, surrounded by barbed wire to keep out the vandals and gawkers. On a recent afternoon, the place was eerily still. A large hawk swooped down into the dead grass behind the house, the leaves of a few cedar trees the only green in the dull winter landscape.
"It is a like a giant cemetery monument to them," Diana Hargon once wrote of the site.
Just down the narrow road, Katherine Hargon Alexander can stand on her front porch, look through the pecan trees and across a field and see the home in the distance.
Somehow, it comforts her. This land has been in her family for generations.
"Sometimes I tear up and I have to stop and think, 'Who I am tearing up about?'" she said. "We've lost so many."

You go Girl!
Boy, gotta hand it to Etta James. She told old Beyonce to stick it and that she wanted to kick her ass. I believe she could. Old Etta has been through a lot in her 71 years and she could teach old Beyonce a thing or two or three. She also said Obambi wasn't her President. I love it. He's not mine either. Plus she called him "Big Ears!". The leftist tools are all po'd. I love it.

I am selfish according to Barrackus Obmacus because I'm tired of paying for those losers who sit around on their mac and cheese asses, those who bought more home than they could afford, those who have baby after baby after baby to get welfare, I could go on but generally the lower rung scum of society.
I'm not voting for the messiah like all the hypnotized losers. He's not my messiah

Just a typical white person, clinging to her guns and religion
You know I am sick to death of these elitists like Susan Eisenhower dissing Sarah Palin. She's an absolute blue blood who disdains those of us who are not like her. Ike may have been from a "farm" before he went to West Point but old Mamie came from $$$$ as well. Ms. Eisenhower probably looks down her nose at any service member who didn't attend West Point and doesn't have a trust fund.
But then again, I am just a typical white person, clinging to my guns and religion with antipathy towards those who don't look like me according to The One.

Just two more weeks
So here we are with a little over two weeks until the election. I am so fearful of what will become of this country under an obama presidency. The left on the daily kook site is hoping we're all going to commit suicide or something. I despise those people but I don't hope they all commit suicide although it wouldn't be a bad thing. I've never seen such a group of hateful people. Well, Hell awaits them.

Yes, we've forgotten
Here we are 7 years after 9/11 and for many in this country Bush is the anti-christ, the military are his lieutenants and Republicans are his goons. This country is headed down the toliet pretty quickly and I am really fearful for the first time in my life that this is going to become a place no one will recognize very shortly.

How did we get here?
Today I was informed that our 22K MasterCard is maxed out. How did this happen? Oh, that's right someone was putting money in the stock market instead of paying off the bills and then the stock market crashed and now we have nothing. I guess I just forgot.
It's going to be a lot worse before it 's better I am afraid. I am soooooooooo mad. His stupidity is affecting the whole family.

Revisiting the posts of two years ago
Two years ago I commented that 6 years previous my Aunt Sissie and Mark were at the wedding and now were gone. 8 years later Uncle Jack and Aunt Lou are also gone and I am afraid very soon so will Aunt Ginny. We have been lucky in many ways but this has been a year where there have been some deaths in my immediate family.
So, it's been two years
Today, it's been two years since Mark was KIA. It's one of those days where there was another "event". The earthquake on the Big Island happend at about the same time he was killed, oddly enough. I was on the phone with my parents on a Sunday morning when it happend. Granted we didn't get any damage, in fact the door that wouldn't close suddenly did, but it was scary and we were without power for about 15 hours. Also tonight I watched something on HBO on Section 60 of Arlington where Mark is.
I know he's in a better place but I will never forget that sad letter his father wrote to him a year ago. I said a prayer for him and his family this evening. I hope that they can find peace and that he is at peace as well in the arms of God.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
Saturday, December 09, 2006
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.

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!

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.

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.
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!
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
