Where does the time go? Donovan decided on a college last night. He is a future University at Albany – SUNY alumni! That is the same college I went to as a freshman and 1 semester as a sophmore before I went into the Army. He also got accepted into the Honors College, which sounds like something […]
After only 5 delays, Soldier Daddy is finally home. And what a gigantic cluster &^%$ it was. Not only did he not make home for Christmas Eve, he didn’t make it home for Christmas either. I spent a good portion of Christmas day in a funk, which sucked more than a little! They were supposed […]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OMy_lzV7mY[/youtube] I woke up this morning with a serious case of Christmas Blues. It has been a really rough year for me, not even counting the deployment, so Christmas cheer has been sadly lacking in my heart this year. And the 5 delays to bring Corey home definately haven’t helped that, either! To have him […]
We are two weeks from the end of deployment now,… FINALLY! I still refuse to get excited until the very day he comes home, though. I know how that sounds, but I am also more than well aware of how often things can change at the last moment. As it is, he was supposed to […]
Happy Veteran’s Day to all of my brothers and sisters in uniform! I also thank the families of all of those in uniform, because without the love and support from family, sometimes that selfless service would be impossible. And a special thank you to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live […]
NOTE: Contents may offend. If you want to continue the hate, feel free to use the "x" at the upper right hand corner of this window. NOT INTERESTED! My heart breaks as I am watching the coverage of the Fort Hood shootings. So many lives have been lost or ruined today. 13 are dead, including […]
What the blog?! Sometimes I truly think my blog is possessed by gremlins. A few months ago, overnight all my plugin files disappeared from my server, making my blog function about as well as I do at 0515 before coffee. That is to say,… it didn’t work. This morning, I logged on, hoping for a […]
Note to self,… A mug resembling a pumpkin may be cute, but may not be the easiest thing from which to drink the blood of life without dribbling. Yes, I learned that this morning. Fortunately, I managed to just dribble down the chin and not on the clothes! I bought an admittedly cheap mug at […]
NOTE: Click here for a definition of Household 6! Sometimes something happens that just slaps you in the face with just where your spouse is. Saturday morning, I got a call from my FRG (Family Readiness Group, the unit support group for family members) leader to call my people with a message notification. Our brigade […]
Bleary-eyed & dragging ass,… Blah. That is the basic intelligence level I have got going on at the moment. I think it is going to take at least 2 more cups of coffee before I really achieve any kind of actual thought process. To say I didn’t get much sleep would be putting it mildly! […]
