Cindy-hahaha made me think of "back in the day" of the coke bottles with the sprinkler tops our mommas used when they did the ironing!!!
well everyone i am glad to bring a smile to your face...life sucks some times doesn't it and i try to do all that i can not to let it ruin my day!
Sherrill i love your comment about the "meanest mother on earth". once my Sailor and i got into a pretty LOUD argument...oh you can bet he was the one acting kinda stupid at the time like all kids do....i said to him "i am truly sorry i am not the mother you wanted" and it stopped him DEAD in his tracks and he looked me in the eye and said "no you were the mother i NEEDED".

heck they won't even send me a letter for jury duty anymore....i think they've got my "number"....they see "hang 'em Connie" coming through the door and already know it's no use!!! strap on the leg chains and hand out the orange jumpsuits!!
well if/when the "big one" hits and i am floating down the mississippi i'll probably end up south of NOLA in deep deep Cajun Country. HOWEVER in 1812 when the last big quake hit, the river flowed backwards so there's no telling where y'all will find me!!!
while i never thought to tell my son that he might be facing imprisonment i did tell him this..."your Dad is the King around here and i am the Queen. that makes you a very lowly prince with very few rights within the kingdom"...awwww he just hated it when i said that!!!! you know that i know i can be meaner than a junkyard dog!!! hehehehe

Cindy: my son was to report for jury duty 2 days before he left for boot camp. He went in with his orders and the woman told him all she could do was post pone ( how silly is that) well 1 year to the day. I get another summons for him to report. I had to send it to him and he took care of it in Mississippi. He said the same thing about ignoring it. Told him that wasnt a good idea.

duely noted.....but awww gotta love a momma who tells her kid he could possibly be facing imprisonment!!! oh Cindy you make my day!!!!

Mommy ~ praying for your daughter to be strong and she will pull through this ordeal and be one AWESOMLY FIT SAILOR ~ HOOYAH!
For one who has always struggled with her weight I know exactly what she is going through. I have never been able to eat what I wanted without seeing it everywhere, LOL! I have learned to NOT diet but change my eating habits, for the better, and have a strict exercise regime. It has paid off in the long run (literally) and when I'm not trying to lose weight a few pounds just fall off. Not quite where I want to be yet about another 20lbs but I keep moving along. Oops so sorry I just started rambling on about me :(
I do believe this is just a mind game for now and it will turn out for the best. Stress & pressure can & will always mess with ones hormones that trigger different symptoms in your body. She will rise above this in NO TIME!
{{HUGZ}} to your daughter and YOU too!!

Mommy-just last night Sailor Son was telling me of an older Sailor who is extremely fit...always working out.....weight perfect. however because of his "build" he was taped too and mandantory PT too ALL BASED on his neck measurement!!!. Sailor Son was pretty much outraged for the guy...but it is what it is....these screwy rules that "mess" with their heads. i have come to believe that most of these "screwy rules" are intentionally meant to mess with their heads. knock them a bit off course to see how quickly they can "steady" themselves and get back on track. tell your Sailor Girl she will be FINE, A-OK, THUMPS UP and throw in a OKIE DOKIE....tell her to take control of this situation!!! OWN IT....SHOW THEM THAT THEY CAN'T GET HER DOWN!!! oh Lord i am sounding like a Southern Preacher at a Revival!!!
i am not an "experienced mom" in NOTHING other than the two i have raised but you know what i mean....
