It's done. We submitted our "wish list" to uncle sam. Now it's in his/their hands for a month until we find out what nice or not so place we end up living. We took pretty much everything into consideration. We rated deployments, housing, job opportunities for me, family nearness, attractions, climate/temperature...all those things. We rated ( Read more... )

Last few days have been pretty good. Had a good weekend and we finally made sense of the boxes. Our closet in the office will be full of boxes until further notice or something grander going on which I need to unload them. Until then, I think we might be able to say.."gasp"..."we're done with moving ( Read more... )

Yesterday went a lot better then I thought it would! C got home later than we thought but we got ready, threw some kiddo toys in the car, and off to the picnic. A lot of guys were there, but the wives were there, which was exciting ;) They all had kiddos, 2 of them were pregnant, and all of them had older than Will kiddos (like 2-3 years old).

Heading over to a picnic with C's unit this afternoon. Today is "Family day" after 1500 and so they get off and then they scheldule a picnic for all the guys to come in and bring your family to hang out. It's cool but I'd rather be spending my part of 'family day' at the house with my husband doing what we want to do instead of a required thing ( Read more... )

Wow- I just checked out the agency nursing positions here and got an offer for 44$ and hour! OMG that is so much more than Texas. I was making about 20$ an hour there. And I'll get to do ER and pretty much anything I want in some other areas. I make my own hours, work as much as I want and the hours I want. WOHOO! :)

The last few nights W has been having a hard time. 2 nights ago it was nightmares where her would sob and cry in his sleep, and of course I'd go wake him up before he was hysterical! He gets that way that he freaks out and cries and cries, and just sobs for hours afterwards if you don't fix it early. He peed in his bed because his diaper leaked ( Read more... )

So W is better today. He had a 102 temp when going to sleep but tylenol seemed to cover him okay for the rest of the night. We're going to begin something new with him, sign language. He gets really frustrated when he can't get us to understand what he wants, or when he wants to move and can't. I've heard success with several people after a few ( Read more... )

My kid screamed for hours last night. The only time he'd be happy and sleep more than 5 minutes was in my arms being rocked in the dark of his room. So needless to say I had to forego everything. I wonder if he is getting an ear infection? He's been pulling at those ears, waking a lot at night, and stuffy, sneezing, coughing, etc in the ( Read more... )

Your kiddo is.. Yes! Asleep in his bed where he has been all night, minus a few wakings here or there ( Read more... )

This weekend flew by WAY too fast. I can't believe it is over and my house is still a mess. I really did a lot of vegging this weekend, played way too many video games, and now another week will begin. C. starts school this week. In fact he's in there studying right now and reading all kinds of stuff. Tonight when we went school shoping I ( Read more... )
