0530 will come too fast,… Tomorrow is the first day of school which means the start of the wickedly early alarms for me! Worse, it means the start of daily wars with Donovan and Ty in an effort to get them the hell out of bed in the morning. Let’s just say that saying that […]
Redeployment blues,… Well, Corey left for Afghanistan yesterday, at the absolute butt crack of dawn. We live 2+ hours from the airport so we left home at 0230. That meant, for me, getting up at 0130. That, well, SUCKED! We went to bed early, so early that neither of us were able to fall asleep […]
It’s still August, but is definately feels like fall is here already. Summer weather didn’t even really hit until the end of it and now it is getting cold! WTH?! This was the last full week of school for my yard apes, since they start back next Thursday. Ka’lani has his middle school orientation on Monday morning :meeting:, […]
From dance to tears,…Ok, so I watch So You Think You Can Dance. It is my guilty pleasure. No one dies in it, there is no war, no worries. Besides, I love dance, in all of its forms. But not often does a piece actually move me to tears. Last night, they did a piece […]
Insomnia sucks. Sleep is a bitch. Truly. Sleep hates me and I don’t know why. I have never abused her, making her stay with me for hours and hours. I would be happy if Sleep would just hang with me for 4-6 hours a night. But no, she is too busy hanging with my kids, […]
The other night, I was watching the local news and there was a story about our post, Fort Drum, on the news. 10th Mountain Division has 4 brigades. Only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades are here, and 4th Brigade at Fort Polk, which is in Louisiana. 4th Brigade is in Iraq right now (I think) and […]
This is what happens when the big brother gets made the slave of the little brother! Which, in turn, means Mama gets the camera out to document the weirdness! As always, clickable for larger pics and captions. And a pic of His Royal Highness, as I found him this morning,… in my bed! And, […]
Corey called last night and also sent me some pics from Afghanistan! There are some from the trip over and several from FOB Shank. He got some GORGEOUS pics of the sunsets. They are all in my “camou stuff” pages in the menu, HERE! Enjoy!
I’m having,… a day! Ever have one of those days when you should have started the day by putting in ear plugs, and wrapped yourself in bubble wrap? I think it probably started when I inadvertantly tried to color my right contact black with my liquid eyeliner at 0630. It was an interesting look, but […]
I know that everyone always says “Happy Memorial Day” today, but it always seems kind of wrong to use happy in a day honoring those who fell for our freedom. Yes, they died in honor and we all should be proud and happy for their service, but “happy” just doesn’t seem like the right word […]
