Promises from Hyperborean Wanderer to post a new article..... see here for updates......coming soon! Link
As you may have guessed by the title....Matt called! I have such a happy glow. **BIG GRIN** I saw the phone ring and flash "Private Name and Number", but being the good Army wife, I answered it to find....a bit of happy! Connor and Madeline were just getting into bed and I let them stay up a minute to talk to their dad. Unfortunately, he asked me to call back so I wouldn't use the minutes up on the borrowed phone (THANKS AMSTUTZ!) But when I called back, I got a foriegn message foll...
random halloween thoughts Don't park and find out when everyone is tired that you can't get back to the car without walking the long way around. Make sure you have chem-lights for the kids....there are never enough streetlights. Maddy liked to point out all the "cute puppy"(s) and "house"(s) When I told Connor to get ready for bed and to go pee.....she told me "No pee, JELLYBEAN!" as she held up a treat. Wear good shoes! Find a rich neighborhood to get the good stuff!
I was going to post this Wed. but I just now got around to it. That's them......
When HW is home, he makes me sit in front of the tv and "unwind" with him. Okay, I admit, most of the time he doesn't "make" me.....I want to cuddle him so I willingly leave the computer or projects or whatever to join him. But now......I've already noticed that I have changed my sleep schedule. I used to think that I'd stay up because going to bed alone was lonely and no fun. However, I realized this morning that it has more to do with my addiction to the computer. I like to check my...
Today he left. And amazingly enough.....I'm okay. Maybe it's just that I got out my frustration yesterday. I was sad and lonely because he didn't come home when we expected and it was his LAST day home. And then he didn't come home at the new time.....and again.....finally hours after I had hoped to see him, he arrived. Just in time to for my daughter to wake from her nap and our son to arrive home from school. No alone time. I was hurt, angry and upset. I sobbed and mopped around...
My stomach hurts. It's that pain you get where it hurts so bad, you wonder if you have an ulcer. But it's not. My head hurts. It's that throbbing pain that gets worse when you think about how much it hurts. and no medicine will help. I'm just miserable. All I want to do is go curl up somewhere and sleep till it's over, but I can't. I have to clean up the house. I've been letting it go becuase I just didn't want to deal with it and now...now, I really need to deal with it. I'...
It's kind of a morbid topic. Especially as a phone call. *ring ring* me: " Hello?" HW: "Hi, so I told you that I'm putting Dad down to recieve my remains, right?" me: "um, no, but okay." HW: "You know, that way you won't have to deal with it. He would just have to sign for my body." me: "So , they what? Send... (mind searching for term to use) them to Colorado or here?" HW: "probably here since that's where my unit is, but they (Dad) would come down....." me: "Does he know ...
That's it. I am so frustrated. I have watched my weight creep up for the last few months and I weighed in this morning at 160. That is 15 lbs more than where I should be and 13 more than I was last year at this time. I've watched myself slide. I've made excuses why my day was so rough that only chocolote would save me. I've eaten junk food late at night becuase it was "special occasion" (day ending in Y) I quit my job and managed to NOT start my new one. All this fun has pushed me...
The walk to school is 7 blocks, 8 if you count the extra long block as 2. Usually, my concern is with keeping my pre-schooler from trying to walk the whole way by himself and to keep the peace between the 3 kids who walk together. Today on the way home however I was ready to pull my hair out by block 4. My darling daughter, who is nearly two, decided that since she couldn't get out and play in the mud she would SCREAM. Nothing I did would make her stop. By block 5, I had the urge to s...
Today we started the demolision phase of our construction project! From this point on we are past the point of no return. We are in it for the long haul. Good thing I'm positive about this, huh? I hope! Our poor little boy was torn as to whether it was cool or a bad idea to let some guy break our porch! He had a lot of fun watching it, but then worriedly asked me why I would let "that guy break our porch" and told me "it's not good to break our house. He shouldn't break our house, ...
Here are the plans for our new addition. We love our house and don't want to move, but it's become too small for our family. The solution? Build bigger! (Can you tell I'm excited?) I'm including the rough sketch of what the plans are. I haven't decided on everything yet, but that's part of the fun. Plus I may pick up some new tricks durring the constuction. I really enjoyed remodeling the master bath and I'm excited to be working with a contractor that is willing to teach me the...

A friend's blog quoted this headline from Democracynow.org. I want to scream!

Newsweek magazine reports the administration wants to maintain at least seven existing CIA interrogation techniques for use against high-level detainees.
