Not a great way to start the day

27th October 2009 | 0 Comments

This morning as I was checking my Facebook feed (yes, as sad as it is, I check email and Facebook first thing in the morning) and my friend Janelle had made mention of Marines that were killed. I checked the news and, there it was. Well….SUCK. 3 of the 4 Marines were Captains, and while [...]


Is it strep? Yep. Part….I’ve lost track.

I’ve been sick *continually* since we got back from the states at the end of August. Dudes, Im sick of being sick. I’ve been to the dr. and gotten the “oh-its-a-virus” diagnosis numerous times. I went in to have my throat violated by a q-tip again last week and well, its not strep A, its [...]


Aging

25th October 2009 | 2 Comments

The other day while we were driving Nathan started asking me about riding in the front seat. He wanted to know how old he had to be to ride in the middle of the backseat, not in a carseat and in the front seat. That led to more questions about what he could do when.
Nathan: [...]


The world we live in

23rd October 2009 | 1 Comment

Nathan’s school is in a very residential area off base (the school itself is a house-converted-into-a-school type deal). In the house next to the school is a day-care and at the end of the block is a Japanese elementary school. Streets in Japan aren’t wide to begin with and as the little elementary kids walk [...]


Karma’s a bitch

This afternoon was not one of our better days. The straw that broke the camel’s back was catching Nathan stand on my laptop (it survived). That was followed by an entire batch of burnt pancakes for dinner (“mom whats for dinner?” me: “burnt pancakes” Nathan: “but I don’t want burnt ones.” [...]


Wondering

21st October 2009 | 2 Comments

I was reading a blog today that had a link to this article. I took an anthropology class in college about the Mayans. It was a really interesting class, and you may or may not know that the Mayans predict(ed?) the world will end Dec 12, 2012. On the one hand, pffft. On the other [...]


The Great Campout Charlie Brown

19th October 2009 | 3 Comments

We survived a night in the wild. The kids had a blast, there was plenty to do, plenty to eat and a few too many s’mores. Mackenzie took some coaxing to get to sleep (she wasn’t thrilled about sleeping on her foam changing pad), Nathan crashed immediately, and I was sleeping well until the neighbors [...]


Here we go

16th October 2009 | 0 Comments

Its almost 9pm on Friday night. Husband is not home, stuff is not packed, groceries are not purchased, sleeping bags have not been washed. I’d say we’re off to a great start. We’ll be back Sunday….then again, if things don’t go well, maybe we’ll be back sooner.


Camping

13th October 2009 | 3 Comments

I told you that camping is like my most favorite thing ever. Im not sure where this comes from. I never camped as a kid. Well, I did do girl scout day camp one summer. And we did rent an RV one summer when I was younger (actually we’ve done that twice and the second [...]
