Jacque, that is so awesome about J's standing!  Woohoo for him!  I hope he gets his orders soon and is able to start his new adventure in the Navy.  

nanny2, Wow, I wonder what held up all the cards?  I think I mailed mine to him on Monday too.  Glad that he got a lot of them.

Elizabeth,  people are so rude anymore, it seems no one has respect for anyone. Wow!  Congrats to T on his car but he doesn't know what he is in for does he?   I am talking $$$ wise.  You must be very proud of him. I hope he has a better experience today w/the DMV.

A big thank you to everyone who sent my D a birthday card. It made his day & he wanted me to make sure I said thanks!!! He was bummed on Sat (his bday) he didn't have 1 card, I mailed mine a wk before, but Mon & Tues he said he had  a bunch of cards.

I finally received the Keel today. I called again Mon, he said I should have it by now, he told me he will mail another one, he figured it was lost in the mail somewhere.  They fed-ex it to me, wasn't expecting that, so nice, they do stand behind their word. 

jacquec- congrats to  your J.  I know you are very proud  & I hope he his very proud too.    Hope everyone has a great day!

Priscalla  hope all is well w/you!!  When you get a chance update us on your little angel.

Well just got a call from my J. He graduated top of his class in A school. Now he has 9 days on the string and starts his new career. He hasn't recieved his orders yet and is really bothered by that. He's missing home and not wanting to be there anymore. I feel so bad, but nothing I can do but encourage him to keep going. Just wanted to stop in and say Hi and update you on J's status. God Bless

Elizabeth, Oh wow, congratulations to T on such a grown-up decision.  I'm so sorry that he had to go through all that at the DMV.  It sounds like the DMV's seem to operate the same everywhere.  :(  It's a shame they wouldn't help him, but I'm glad to hear that the guards helped him out on base.  

Our sale is moving along pretty well so far, thanks for asking.  We are actually going through the relocation company, so they are pretty much taking care of everything.  We had the buyer's appraiser come through the house yesterday and tomorrow the inspections are being done.  On Saturday morning the moving company is coming to get an estimate of how much we have to move.  It's kinda a "yikes, it's all happening so fast" situation.  Thank goodness the movers will pack everything, so I won't have that stress.  I just have to fill my car with whatever I will need in the meantime.  I will be staying in NM until mid May (even though we have to be out of the house by March 29).  My daughter is graduating from college and then moving to Hawaii and my son is staying here too, so I want to spend more time with them.   I just have to make arrangements for my 3 dogs temporarily and find a place to stay for about 7 weeks.  I have thought of some options, so hopefully things there will be ok there too.    

I'm sorry about the confusion on the missed comment.  My A had just posted on his Skype yesterday that he was really missing home, and I lost it when I read that last night.  He has been sick with a cold and I think he must have felt homesick.  He really has never posted anything like that before, so it hit me hard.  *tears.

Hi to everyone...I haven't posted in a while but I'm always checking in to see how everyone is doing? 

Betsy - how's the sale transaction moving along hopefully everything is going smooth for you.  I didn't understand your last posts about "A" is everything ok?

Has anyone heard from Priscilla...I was thinking about her wondering how she and the new baby are doing?

My T has saved money and is buying a car (I knew that has been his goal forever) he called me over the weekend and he found a car that someone was selling on base...he talked to the guy and they agreed on the price, I went down the list of mom things...insurance, registration, on and on, I hung up the phone and thought I didn't even tell him Congratulations and that he should be so proud of himself, so I texted him to let him know I was happy and he should be proud, he texted me back....Mom I'm so nervous about this I just wish you were here with me but I guess this is grown up man things from this point on....I just cried, I know its a reality but it breaks my heart if I could have been on the next plane out I would have been there in a minute and I told him always remember I'm a phone call away....I want to cry just thinking about it right now.  We talked about it and he bought the car today, he got all the paperwork and insurance and went to the DMV to process the registration, he got to the DMV office (in his uniform) probably 2 minutes after closing time, he said he was walking to the door and a man that worked there looked at him and locked the door told him to come back tomorrow, he begged the guy to take him and he said no...(mom's heart breaking) he said another guy from the DMV came over and said let me look at your paperwork so T is thinking this guy's gonna help him, the guys said everything looks good come back tomorrow....Wow...thankfully the guards on base gave him a temporary parking pass after he explained what happened with the DMV...of course I want to call the DMV and tell them I'm not sure if they know it or not but the Military doesn't close up shop and go home at 4:00 and thank goodness they don't....oh I am so upset for my son, poor thing is trying to do the right thing within a small window of time and he literally gets the door locked in his face.

Thanks for listening I just had to vent :o)

Betsy   Hugs to you  & your son.    I know some days when I read everybodys I shed a tears for them & then their days where I laugh w/them. That's what we are here for right, the happy times & sad ones too.  I hope he feels better soon & you too.  Thought that was funny about letting hubby find a house too. Good luck on house hunting.

phoebe, Did you click on the sailor's name on the calendar?  If you click on the name, the address is there.  So far the only one that I haven't seen an address for is the birthday on March 5.  I will e-mail that mom and see if she could add the address for him.  

Terry, It just hit me harder today than other days.  My son has been sick this week and I think that's why he put that up there.  I took down my comment because, after I read it, I realized that it would probably upset some moms here too.    

That's great that your son is making those kinds of decisions.  Good luck to him.

Betsy, What do we do when there is no address listed for the birthdays in yahoo.groups?  We get reminders but have no way to send a card...

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on March 2, 2011 at 6:53am

Betsy-Sorry to hear that about your sons skype profile.We know they all miss home but I think they try to stay strong and not say that to us moms cuz they know what we will do (cry and want them to come home).

My son is doing good.He is going to purchase his first car(that he has to pay for,lol).It's not easy letting them make their own decisions,you just want to say wait and "we" can help you find something.Guess they will have to learn the BIG responsibilities.Still so hard to let them go and be adults!!!

Have a great day!!
