  • Hmm.. Let’s see.. I think an update is in order…


    On the honey deal:  He should be home sometime in mid-January.  I have my hopes for sooner, but I don’t know for sure how long it will take for debriefing and the like… But I heard from him unexpectedly 3 times in the last week, when we’d thought we wouldn’t get to talk at all until January.. So YAY! he’s safe, and that’s the important thing.


    Kellen: Growing, growing and growing.  He’s getting big and loves to “help”.  Of course, tonight that included dumping a bowl of diced tomatos, and then what was left of my dinner, onto the floor… Which led to a time out while I cleaned it up… When I got back in the room, he was up and playing, so he got 5 minutes on the chair, with no toys.  He needs to learn to listen, and I think this is working, kinda.. lol


    Work: Is work.  Am down to 20 hours a week, gotta love winter hours.  Of course, when honey gets home, I will love Winter hours cause then I’ll get to be with him more.


    Kellen’s dad: Well, apparently, something has happened, though I don’t know what and I’m not going to call him and ask him either.  My child support check came today and it was a whopping dollar and fifty eight cents… Yeah.. Lovely.  That’ll buy, oh, maybe 3 diapers?  *shrugs*


    The boards: I’m archiving away, getting all of Ingraleis done, and I have some boards to do at the Trans-D yet… And I’m slowly getting a story up in book form at the new site too. Yay! that we’re finally in beta and getting moved!


    Class: One more critical summary, which I’m going to do once little man here settles down, and a final paper.. And I’m done.. YAY!! hehe…


    Anyways, I think that’s about it… Got the holiday shopping done, the tree is up, and I’m so not in the holiday mood, but that I think is because I’m more worried about honey in Iraq than about Christmas.

  • You know, it’s not very often I really talk about what’s going on with me here anymore, and in part, that’s because a few months ago, during a screaming match, Kellen’s father mentioned that despite being blocked, he does still read here. 


    Well, I’m tired of letting him dictate what I say or what I do.  Fuck him.


    Moving on.  Kellen, as you all can see, is still a beautiful, happy boy.  He is a total ham too.  He loves to make people laugh, and he just can be so sweet.  He’s still two, so he’s a handful and he’s definitely got a temper, but he got that honest…


    I’ve been doing some thinking about things I’m thankful for, given it’s the holiday and I’m struck by insomnia… Kellen definitely is at the top of the list.


    The other thing at the top of my list?  It’s my honey.  Despite the fact that he is in my own idea of hell right now, he always has a smile and an upbeat attitude.  And he takes the time to be worried about me, when he’s the one in the hellish situation.  He’s given me so many reasons to smile, including sending me roses and a teddy bear for no reason at all, other than that he wanted to… And I’d mentioned another girl at work was getting them, but we talked about it, and he had been planning to send me some anyway, just as soon as I’d coughed up the address…


    Other things near the top of my list: Been over 3 years since my clot now.  YAY! No more in sight, no more blood thinners, been off those for a year and a half.  I haven’t smoked in over two years (and even then it was only a 6 week slip up), I still have a stable, if sucky, job, and a decent income.  My family, much as they make me nuts, is there to help me in a pinch… And I haven’t given into the urge to beat Kellen’s father to a pulp.  These are all definite pluses…


    Anyways.  Yeah.. Time to go find something to make me sleepy… *runs away*

  • Ok, so I suck at being a military girlfriend.  I worry way way too much.  But we’re just going to hope he comes home next month, as planned.


    But if he doesn’t, February’s not that far away, it could be worse…


    Yeah… All I want for Christmas this year?  My honey home safe.

    The new christmas pictures are in.. hehe

  • Pictures! 


    *waits to see a mad mommy bouncing* hehe


    My uncle sent these along, they were taken when I was at the family deal in October.. LOL… I didn’t hide fast enough in two of them though.. LOL



    Yes, that’s a cookie… and yes, he’s yelling.. though what he was yelling, no clue.. LOL



    Oh look, I didn’t duck fast enough… but hey, half-profile shots of me, I look pretty damn good… lol



    And was it really necessary for him to catch that double chin of mine? Really?  And we wonder why I hide… LOL

    Yes, I’m a dork.. and I was bored… But hey, I’m waiting on someone to get up and play… And hoping we don’t have another night like last night… hehe

  • And Dawn now has a healthy baby girl.  Kaitlin Ann was born at 5:08pm eastern US time.  She weighs 7lbs, 8oz, and was 21 inches long at time of birth.  *grins* Dawn changed her mind at the last minute and went with Kaitlin… I figured she’d do something goofy like that.


    So I’m an Aunt again.. heheh

  • Ok, guess it’s update time… LOL…


    Seriously, not much going on lately, just been the typical stuff… Class is going alright, I’m about sick of politics, yet I’m still strangely interested.  My vote’s pretty well determined, but yeah, the constant mailings, phone calls, and ads are just aggravating.  Living in a battleground state, what fun…


    I’m still worrying a lot about Keven, it’s been just a month since I last talked to him, and well, with the increase in bombings, I’m scared for him on a daily basis.  But there’s not much I can do, aside from keep him in my thoughts and wait for him to get ahold of me.  He did tell me last time, he has an email thing set up through his work, I will get an email if anything should happen to him.  So no news is good news.


    Kellen’s getting big, growing like a weed.  He’s getting more and more new words, and he’s trying to imitate more, but I like the fact that he works with a developmental teacher once a week.  Kathy’s great with him.  And her son served in the same unit as my cousin, which is just one of those “Wow, small world” kind of things. 


    I talked to Dawn yesterday, her doctor is thinking of inducing labor.  She had told me possibly today, but as I didn’t get a phone call, I’m guessing this hasn’t been done yet.  She’s really due at anytime now.  So Savannah Raine (not sure on how that’s being spelled yet) should be coming into our world shortly.  Which means I’ll have a lil girl to spoil and give back to her mom.. YES! hehe…


    Anyways, that’s about it on this end, I have a few friends who are just going through a lot right now though, so if you happen to think of it, I know they’d appreciate being kept in your thoughts and prayers, and anything for Keven would be greatly appreciated, though I swear, I’m gonna kick his butt as soon as he gets home.  Just because I hate worrying about him like this.
