Countin' Down

We're officially back home from the holidays....woot! I'm tuckered out & grateful to be able to actually relax again, lol. I love the holidays and all, but sometimes, they're a little too much for my systerm... weither it's having to be extra extra happy and cheery, not be myself (ha) or just overloading on cookies and sweets.Side note.. my laptop is pissing me off because it can't keep up with...

Taking A Breather

Alrighty..now that I have some time.. I can actually catch up on some stuff that's been going on.Johns "mother" actually got around to sending him a belated birthday / early Christmas present. This woman just makes me laugh because.. haha...shit.. she's just so worthless. She works for a video game store. So, it's expected that they get "swag" from time to time from Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo.. ya...

Almost there!

I'm mildly groggy..so please forgive me if this blog is a little on the wonky side :)Today's the day where Eric, John and myself had a meeting with the Medical Officers to make sure we're in the clear for Belgium. I had to laugh since we were directed to go to the "Mental Health" department ...this whole place makes you feel like you belong in some sort of nut house, lolThe meeting went really well,...

Puppy Love

I love how pets know when you're not feeling good. Notice how they always seem to "behave" more? LOL.. if only they were like that all the time rather than when you're sick.For the past week and a half, I've been really under the weather. Between a completely stuffed up head, throbbing sinus pain and...

Thank freakin' God!We'll be heading over to Outbound in a little bit once John is home from school to take care of the paperwork. Once that's taken care of, we can finally get TMO scheduled to pick up our stuff & have it shipped over to Kleine...

Ramblings

This is probably going to be one of those posts that jump around to different subjects... No, I'm not drunk. I just can't keep all my thoughts organized / focused long enough sometimes, lol.Topic #1While surfing through the MySpace world yesterday, I happened to come across Andrew. Andrew is Johns Step-Dad...errrr... Ex Step-Dad. While browsing through his profile, he talked about his kids including...

Christmas Shopping

There's several people I know who were all balls out to go battle the Black Friday crowds at 2am, 3am, 4am and so on... screw that, I cherish the days where I actually get to sleep in with Eric, lol. I heard on the news about someone actually getting trampled to death while trying to get into a store for the "amazing" sales. Seriously? Is that possibly $40 savings worth your life? I understand that...

Happy Post Glutton Day!

My bad, I forgot to post a Happy Thankgiving bloggy.. oppsy!Eric, John and I hit the road for Salinas on Wednesday around 12:30p... and what normally takes us three hours to get from once place to another, actually took us five.

*SIGH*

I guess you can say I'm a little grumpy today... my headache won't go away and it's starting to really piss me off. I'm not sure weither I'm getting them because of the bi-polar weather, or just everything that's been thrown at me regarding this PCS and it's little loose ends.Since I've taken up my new career as a SAHW, I've been constantly cleaing my house. CONSTANTLY! It's super clean (as it should...

Small Victory!

HA!!I finally got my medical clearance!! YAAAAAY!!!The Family Practice Doc gave Eric my EFMP ( Exceptional Family Member Program )paperwork & signed off on everything. I guess since I don't have any mental problems (ha) or any physical issues that they can see from what little reports they COULD find on me, they don't have enough NOT to give me clearance. So,the Doc scribbled in all the right...

Revolving Door

Man.. I'm so tired right now... I'm debating on crawling into bed. So this morning I had an appointment with Family Practice to get my Exceptional Family Member bullshit done... ya know, for clearance. I get there and they're basically interrogating me as to why I don't have a medical record there. Say what? I've seen them multiple times for the past 2 years... how do they not have anything on me?...

Oh! For Fucks Sake!

To be blunt... Johns "mother" aka Womb for Rent... is a REAL piece of work. It takes a lot to get me pretty fired up, but this woman has managed to piss me off in more ways than I'd ever imagine.Throughout the time I've been with Eric and John, I've noticed that Johns mother has managed to alienate him and make it a point to be a void in his life. Given, she's not physically present since she walked...

Work it, Baby

It's weird for me to just "relax". I mean, when I was working..I'd come home, lounge for a little bit after I made dinner.. but I still managed to do stuff around the house. I guess I don't know the real meaning of relaxing, lolNow that I'm completely jobless, Eric has flat out told me,"I want you to RELAX today. NO housework". Say what? Given, my job wore me out entirely and now I'm sick (yippy)..Eric...

My, What Cute Roots You Have

I've been to the dentist a grand total of maybe 5 times in my life.. I HATE going to the Dentist. The whole part of someone sticking their fingers in my mouth.. then poking my teeth with sharp tools is a little unsettling for me.The last time I went to the Dentist, it was when I was 19 years old. The...

*POOF* My Work Here Is Done

Ahhhhhhh... being unemployed feels ....euphoric...Yesterday was my last official day with my employer. I finished out my accounts and pretty much loafed around for the remainder of the day. My supervisor pretty much knew I couldn't start any of my usual projects considering they're normally 2 day deals, so, I just putzed around and got paid for 8 hours. Wheee!!Today was just weird for me. I haven't...

When we first got him,...

Beast of Burden

First off..I have my brand spankin' new Skull Candy headphones on ... I LOVE 'em! Best sound quality I've had in a long time for a very reasonable price. I mean, I love BOSE and all, but for the money you gotta spend for a decent set of BOSE headset, I could put John through a semester of college. So,...

Eric drove me to San Luis Obispo (it's about an hour from where we live) since that's where my flight was departing from. I hit the flightline at 6am on the dot and caught my connecting flight by literally 3 minutes...

Oh goodness...

Lesseeeeeee...the last 24 hours has been a bit interesting for me...Eric calls me at work yesterday with good news. I mean, it's good news and kinda not good news. We were originally scheduled to PCS (Permanent Change of Station) to Belgium in late May 2009. Weeelllllll... he called to inform me that he received an email from a personalist from USAFE stating that they're going to be short manned in...
