DAY 138~
Today was just one of those days, that just didn't go so well. I was debating all day long if I should take Johnathan into the E.R, because he was really ill for the last 24 hours.
Later, I decided to go pick up my very cute aprons, and purse I had bought from a lady who made them. We were meeting up at McDonald's, and I told the kids we were not eating there, just picking something up. That didn't work, we ended up getting McDonald's and heading home. The kids ate at home, and then Michael wanted to go play outside. I let him go out by himself, figuring he is 8 now, he should be okay.
Never again! He came running in the house, screaming and freaking out, he said Luke, the dog had knocked him over and he hurt his jaw/cheekbone very bad. He said he was in a lot of pain, and continued screaming and crying. To top the whole matter off, he told me a pipe had broke outside, and water was going everywhere. Some how he was knocked into the pipe. So, I'm running around the house like crazy, taking care of him, and trying to figure out how to turn the outside water off. I call the guy we rent from, and let him know it was broken and needed fixed, and then I'm also at the same time trying to figure out how to turn the water off. I then go and get the neighbor next door, and she helped me to turn the water off.
Michael is still in pain during this entire time, he had ice and was holding it on his face. We were waiting on the rental guy, and then I was planning on taking both of the boys to the e.r.
The rental guy came, and looked at it, and will be back on Wednesday when they come back to fix other things, to fix that. After he left we headed to the e.r.
When we arrived I let them know, I have one child with an injured jaw/cheekbone, and a little one who has been ill for 28 hours (by the time we arrived). He had something very similar to this last year and was hospitalized for 3 days.
We waited a little bit in the waiting room, and then was taken back for vitals. After those were done we were taken back to a "fast track" waiting room. After I sad down, I heard a guy complaining that they had been in there a long time, I never heard how long. I then asked the other lady how long she had been in there, she said at least 2 hours. Right then, I was prepared to be in there for at least two hours.
All of a sudden I heard our last name called, I thought I was maybe hearing things. We couldn't be going before these people, could we? Well the door shut and the person was gone. So, I went and looked in the hallway. Nobody was around. It was crazy, call our name and run. The place I thought this person had gone, the door was locked. So, the kids and I went and sat back down. By this time, we were only at the hospital maybe 45 minutes. Don't forget, those other people were in that room for 2 hours. Then a few minutes later, the person then came back to get us to take us to the room for the boys to be looked at. I did ask the nurse about why we were going before the other people, because I did feel really bad, and that it wasn't right. I wouldn't have liked it if I was in the other position. She said something about triage, but I still didn't really understand why??
So, they think Michael has a bruise, and Johnathan I just need to watch, and keep him on liquids. We were out of the hospital about 2 hours after we arrived. It wasn't such a bad e.r visit, it was just the fact I had to take 2 of my 3 in, at the same time.
This evening was like I was on a "run", it went by so fast. By the time we got home, it was past dinner time, which caused bedtime to be late. And I forgot my classes started today, then end on October 3rd. I just had so much going on today that I was not able to complete my assignments, but I did finish them tonight before doing this blog. Now, I think it is time to go to bed and get some rest. It was a very crazy, interesting day today.
Even though it was a hectic day, we made it through, and we are another day closer to seeing my handsome hubby.

One of the 4 hardest time's of my life...

Running through the months.....
DAY 137~
Running, it's not something that I usually do, but I do it daily. I'm not talking about going and physically running, this would be the one I don't do. I'm talking about what I do every day when I wake up in the morning. I ask myself, "What can we do today, in order to get through this day to make it go faster?" In a way, I'm "running" through the day. Figuring out things that will help the day go as fast as possible. Other times, I might slow down to a jog, like today. Today seemed like it went on forever. Even while I'm jogging, I'm still trying to figure out ways that will make my day go faster.
It is hard knowing, that you really want to see the one you love, but still trying to raise your kids. And knowing, these days that while your husband is gone, you will never get them back. But yet, your wanting the days to pass by quickly so your husband will be here, in order to be able and treasure the memories with you. It is just a confusing thing. My conclusion, slow your pace down to at least a jog, and make the best memories during your day, that you will have those memories to treasure, as you jog through the days to see your loved one.
Today we had a yard sale again. Didn't go as well, the conclusion with that, not to have yard sales on Sundays, only on Saturday from about 8 a.m-1p.m. Any other time on the weekend, it is almost a waste. I made $5 dollars today, and my friend made $7 dollars. It was from one customer, he was buying things for his grand baby. The rest of the time it was "drive bys", or men that would just get out of the car, and leave their wives in the car. Of course we didn't have anything for them. I think we closed the yard sale up around noon, I'm not for sure, but it was early. We just weren't getting any business.
Some of the rest of the day was spent cuddling with my little guy, he wasn't feeling so well. He took a nap on the couch for awhile, which is not to usual for him. I also cleaned up the kitchen, and watched some t.v, on my "jog" through out today. Today the pace, might have even slowed down to a "walk", because the day seemed to take forever to go by. And yet, not accomplishing much.
Last night I did get to talk to Josh on Facebook for a little bit. I'm probably not even going to be on long enough tonight to even "see" if he is on. There is always that chance that he is most likely not going to be, but I can always check on my iPhone.
It's time to end this "long walk" today and head to bed, and hope that the pace of my days at least improve to a "jog" tomorrow. At least now I can say, I will see him next month. Because of Opsec, I can't tell you the day, it is still a ways a way, but, It sure does sound nice, saying I will see him next month, :)

Yard Sale Today...
Day 136-
My fellow Army Wife came over here today. We had a yard sale. After she arrived, and we put some of our stuff out, I took Josh's truck to put up some yard sale signs. When I was putting up one, not to far from the house, I was having trouble with the tape. Finally I got it up, and saw some cars turn, I put the arrow on the sign, and then saw two cars pull into the court. They were the first customers, but I was out putting the signs up.
The yard sale didn't do to bad today. My friend made almost $90, and I made $40, and this was in the first couple hours. The big things I sold were, a high chair that I have had for all three of my kids, for $10 dollars, it was a little sad letting it go, since it had that special meaning being used for all three. It needed to go though, no use for it anymore. I sold this outdoor baby gate for $15 dollars, and baby monitors for $10 dollars. Then some other misc. small stuff.
We also had pizza ordered from Domino's for lunch. My friend and I split the cost in half.
During the afternoon it was really slow, and either people just driving by, or just buying 25 cent items, so we closed around 3 p.m.
The kids ended up sun burnt, so, tomorrow they will probably be in doors more. Some how I also ended up sun burnt, but I though I spent most of my time in the garage???
Then the rest of the afternoon the kids and I spent watching some t.v, I was trying to rest my eyes on the couch. That plan didn't work to well, with two of my kids throwing temper tantrums. So, I didn't really end up with a short rest. They were both fighting over who was going to sit on mommy. Little did they know, when they were acting like that, mommy didn't want neither!
For dinner we had left over pizza. Then later it was time for the bed time routine, tonight that included baths.
Now, I'm watching a 50's cruise, via webcam from Grants Pass, Oregon. It will be ending shortly though. At the beginning I had the 50's music on, and was eating ice cream, but since it was 2 hours long, I turned the music off a little bit ago, and finished my ice cream.
I think it is now time to head to bed, and have some sweet dreams about my handsome hubby. In which I got to talk to him, via facebook chat on my i-phone last night. Which is better then no communication at all.
Loving, missing, and thinking of my handsome hubby!!

It was a Good, and A Bad day, All in One......
DAY 135~
It didn't start my day out well, when I was getting milk for my cereal, and it didn't quite smell right. I thought, maybe it is because I'm not use to this milk, and had only bought a half gallon for myself, and the kids had their milk. Well, I got a glass, to a small sip, and I couldn't make the sink fast enough to spit it out. YUCK!!!! It was beyond spoiled and nasty. I didn't even swallow any. But, lucky me, "I still ended up sick." It was awful.
So, then, since I wasn't really "sick", just from the milk I needed to eat my breakfast. Today we went and did the walk in to get Johnathan and Elizabeth registered for their free 16 hours of care a month. They are done, completed, and all three are ready to go! Well, I tried getting them the care on Monday, because I had a Dr.'s appt., but the care was booked for Monday. So, I had to cancel my appt. and re-schedule it. And the kids have care for that day.
After I got them registered it was time for the PX. I let each one of my kids pick out, 1 backpack, 1 shirt, 1 pair of pants, and socks. They have so many clothes, and that is why I allowed them to get one. Plus, the total at the end reminded me of why they only had one of those things a piece.
When we were all finished shopping I decided to eat in the food court. Our day wasn't done, I was hungry, and I was not going home before I finished the rest of my errands. So, I picked the cheapest thing in the food court we could get. It was Burger King. We waited our turn n line, then when it was our turn I gave my order. It was 3 cheeseburger kids meals, with one chicken tender big kids meal. And the guy taking the orders said, two cheeseburgers, with one chicken meal. I nicely said, 3 cheeseburgers, and was just adding one one for each of my children. He was like, "You don't have to be so rude", I was like, umm, I'm not being rude, but if you would like me to be rude I can, he said, "yeah you were", I was like whatever. This mama don't play those childish games with rude cashiers who are suppose to respect the customer and not call the rude. So, we stood and waited for our food, and when the guy gave us our food, I asked to speak with the manager. Which happened to be the guy, I let him know that the cashier needs customer service training because he had told me I was being rude, when I was just letting him know how many I needed. It was also the tone of voice of the cashier with me I just didn't appreciate it. So, the manager was not happy (or at least pretend to be), and said he would talk to the cashier. The little cashier guy was trying to get his two sense in about his rude self and walked over, even though HE HAD A LOOOONG LINE!!! Yes sorry, I know it was busy, but you are working at the PX, during lunch hour, when all of the Soldiers and families are coming in. So, if you can't handle it, don't take it out on me, find another job!
Anyways I was not very happy about that, when I wasn't being rude, and then rudely accused that I was. But I complained to the manager, I felt better about that, and it was time to go eat. It felt like we were there forever while the kids were eating. They were so slow! That or I just got tired of being at the PX. Finally, they were done, it was time to go to the car!
Well, we were sitting in the car, and Michael was like,"My back pack was 10 dollars," I was like no it wasn't it was $14.99. I asked him to hand me the back pack, and I checked the receipt. It was 10 dollars on the tag, and they did charge me $14.00. Everyone was buckled up and ready to go at this point, but this was a 5 dollar difference, and so we all un buckled and went to get our money back.
Then it was finally time to hit the road, and make our half hour drive to pay rent. Well, today it actually turned out to be 45 minutes one way. Just to run in, drop it off, and make the half hour trip back. When we arrived home, that was when I switched my appt. around, and set up hourly care for that time. And talked to my mom on the phone. We were having pizza tonight, and it was a little to early to get the pizza when we first arrived home. After I had done all of those things, it was time to go.
We went to Little Cesar's tonight. Before we went there, I found a place next to it, that when I get my hair done, I will go to it. They actually quoted me a cheaper price, by like 30 dollars to get my hair fixed, then on Fort. And if I recommend 3 people, by the time I go, and they actually make an appt. and give my name, then I can get a FREE haircut when I go it. So, I'm going to try that also. I think it was a younger guy that owns the business, then some ladies that work for him. But, they were all really nice.
Then we got our pizza, bread sticks and pop. We were then ready to go home and watch our movie. We were originally going to watch a movie we already had, but it didn't really work that well. I really didn't feel like messing with anymore of our movies, so I order the Princess and the Frog off On Demand. It was a cute movie. But, the first time, in like FOREVER, I actually fell asleep, at night, sitting on the couch watching a movie. It's not like I didn't like it. I guess we just had a long busy day today. We left the house at 9:15 a.m, then arrived home at 3 p.m for an hour, then were gone for another hour. It was a long day, but guess what, we are through yet another day with out Josh, and we are another day closer to seeing him.
It has been almost 4 and a half months with out him, but nights are still very lonely. I like to put the kids to bed at 8 p.m, because by then I need the break. But, after they are in bed, it's almost like it is toooooo..... quiet!
Thinking of my hubby tonight, wishing he was here with me, wish we could be watching a movie together, I cannot wait until he is home, so that we can do exactly that!
It didn't start my day out well, when I was getting milk for my cereal, and it didn't quite smell right.

Dinner and Movie...
DAY 134~
Today I ended up not going to get Johnathan and Elizabeth registered for their free care. I have to do it tomorrow. I decided I wanted to sleep in this morning. And I knew that you would have to be there early, in order for them to try and fit you in.
Then this afternoon, we drove Josh's truck to get more gas. I was so afraid that the truck was going to run out of gas on the way to the gas station. I asked my neighbor if she would be "on call", just in case we ran out of gas. Thankfully, the gas light came on as soon as I pulled into the gas station. It was crazy. So, glad we made it. Then I couldn't find the right key to unlock the gas tank. I have never had to get gas for the truck before. So, I was trying every single key he had. I was like, just great, I don't know the darn key, and I don't want to drive the truck all the way back to the house (thankfully it is not to far) with out getting gas. Then I found it. Right after I paid for the gas, this person walked up to me, well, guy, and was like what part of Maryland did you live in. I always feel uncomfortable when men, especially walk up to me, and also when I have the kids. It sounded like he had lived in Maryland before, and just had hardly seen any license plates from the area before. But, still, made me a little nervous. Then he left, I got the gas, and we drove the longer route home. Just to be able to drive the truck a little bit.
We went to a dinner and a movie tonight, it was free. It was on Fort. We had some spaghetti pasta thing, with salad, and ice cream. Then they played the movie, "The Tooth Fairy." We had already seen the movie, but I figured it would be something fun for us to do, and a bonus, like I said, it was free.
Well, we didn't make it out of the movie with out Elizabeth throwing a temper tantrum. She wanted me to throw her food away, she was done! Then decided later, that she wanted her food. Well, it doesn't work like that, so she was just not a happy girl. With that going on, and noticing the boys weren't sitting on the gym floor watching the movie, I decided to leave a little early.
By the time we got home, it was our nightly routine time, and time for them to go to bed. Now it's time for me to get off and do bills.
Missing, love and thinking of my handsome hubby, always and forever!

Missing, love and thinking of my handsome hubby, always and forever!

Another Step Closer to getting the free 16 hours of care per month....
DAY 133~
Today was my Dr.'s appt. It was a re-evaluation for the lump by my neck. Conclusion, since I really don't think he knows what it is, it's how the "bone" on my neck grew??? Yeah, sorry, I didn't know that bones like that grew bigger through the years??? I hate having something wrong with me, that I think they just really don't know what it is.
It took about 40 minutes to drive to the "new place". They have moved since I last visited the office, to a completely different part of town. Thankfully to my GPS, I found the new spot. Today at the appt. the Dr. numbed my noise, and then stuck this wire camera thing in it to check my throat. It was awful. He is like, it won't hurt, just feel weird. Umm, it did hurt, especially when he was having me say he, and me and stuff. That feeling was horrible. And I felt like I was going to gag! YUCK! Glad that was over with.
So, the only thing that might be done for now, if TRICARE approves it, is some type of steroid shot with something else in it, to help the pain I have been dealing with the years. Since, the Dr. has come to the conclusion it is a bone (I really don't think it is, which aggravates the heck out of me), I'm basically done with this Dr., because someone else does the shots. Here's to not receiving answers, AGAIN!!! I'm just really frustrated over the entire thing, I know that I'm not the only one that has this issue. It's just ridiculous.
Well, the lady I picked up from the airport last week, and then sometimes watch her son (our husbands are deployed together) watched my three children so that I could go to the Dr.'s appt. alone. Which is about the only break I have received in awhile.
Speaking of breaks, Johnathan and Elizabeth's packets are in so I can register them for my free 16 hours of care a month, (Jumping for joy right now, this made my day!) I have an appt. on Tuesday to go register them, but might just go in for a walk in tomorrow, because I have a different Dr.'s appt. on Monday that they cannot come with me. This was suppose to take 2-4 weeks. It took, just a little over a week, I'm amazed. But when I went in I told them that we just moved here before my husband left, and we still hardly know anyone (I know like 3 families here that I have anything to do with). And that I really don't have much help, which besides my friend today watching them, it's true. (And we have great neighbors that help with other things around here, just three kids to watch is to much for them). And so that is probably why the paperwork went through faster. I'm just happy about it!
Then, the tile lady was suppose to be here at 10 this morning, which was the time I was leaving for my appt. I let my babysitter know this, that the tile lady just goes downstairs to the basement to work. So, an hour later, after I had arrived at my appt. I had texted my babysitter to see if the tile lady had arrived. She hadn't yet. So, I had gone to my appt., and then drove to the post office after my appt. My friend, the babysitter wanted me to send off a package for her, since I didn't have the kids with me. I arrived at the house at around 12:30, the tile lady was still not there. At this point, I had given up on her arriving.
Well, my friend was leaving around 2 p.m, and she said, I think the tile lady is here. I looked. It was. No call, or anything, she just happened to show up. I really wasn't to happy about this. 4 hours late is to much for me. I wasn't mean, but had asked her, I thought you were suppose to be here at 10? Well, she was like, I had and appt. I was like, I thought we were your 10 o'clock appt. (by the way, just yesterday she told me a time, I didn't tell her one). Well, she was like, I would have called, but I thought you would have been gone. My response was you have my cellphone number, whenever you would have called me, you could have reached me anywhere. I wish my response would have been, I have been waiting on you for 4 hours, how would I have been able to go anywhere??? I'm just glad were done with her, she wasn't very friendly, and I'm sick of her coming on her own time. That doesn't work well with me.
I guess, it is time to go do some cleaning, give the kids to bath, and then do our nightly routine. Glad we have made it almost through another day, and we are yet another day closer to seeing my amazing husband!

painting pictures for daddy....
DAY 132~
Today I felt I was finally caught up on laundry enough, and not have a ton of stuff to do around the house to clean (even though there is ALWAYS something to clean), that I allowed the kids to run through the sprinkler. Elizabeth has a Dora one that I got her for her birthday, and I finally let them use it. Which they have been bugging me to do. But, I'm not the type of parent that just let's my kids go out front (away from the dog), by themselves. And I have felt so overwhelmed with to many things to do. So, they had the chance today, and then, umm, they really didn't want to play in it that long.
I then brought out some paint, and let them paint pictures to send to daddy in his next care package. Everybody painted one, and they they went through the sprinklers again. Until it was time to come back inside.
Our tiles in the basement bathroom were still being worked on today. She showed up one hour late today, and had no apology or anything .It's not like I'm busy enough here trying to raise three kids on my own. I'm glad tomorrow should be the last day.
Tonight we made breakfast for dinner, well, Elizabeth helped some, they boys just got in the way, snooping to see what mommy was making. I cut up the last of my treasures, the red potatoes. Then we had a french omelet, or so the cookbook said. I had cut up the tomatoes (my treasures), and put those and cheese on top of the omelet. Then we had turkey bacon also. It all turned out good.
Tonight I was watching the show, If you really knew me, so here you go,
If you really knew me,
1.You would know that I'm shy, and don't have many friends, because I have always felt like the outcast between my siblings, I grew up thinking, "If they don't like me, then why should anyone else."
2. I'm not one that just invites myself to things, I wait for other's to include me, therefore, it hardly ever happens.
3. On a daily basis, I might just talk to one person on the phone. It's usually just the kids and I. I really don't have people that try and communicate with me.
3. I worry about every day, how me raising the kids by myself with Josh deployed will affect the kids future. Am I raising them right? Or am I doing this all wrong.
There are probably some more, but I will leave it at that. It just makes you think, what other's are really like, and why they act the way they do. Are they covering some hurtful thing up by acting angry? Or are they quiet, and not communicate with other's because they feel they don't have any friends. Now is the time to look around you and see, why does this person act like that? Maybe you should sit down and talk to them, and help them through whatever problem it is.
Now is the time to head to bed. Thinking of, missing and loving my husband, like always!
