Comment by Kellymcd11 on May 19, 2011 at 6:48pm

Oh Boy Angie,  I think if I got that call right now I would definetly be in a tail spin downward....Janie, my friend at work was in the navy for twenty years he said that anyone stationed on the east coast goes to the middle east and the west coast ships go to china, japan and areas like that. I will pray they are on a training mission.  As always I say a prayer for all our sailors everynight. they are special and deserve the extra prayers.

Thanks for all the well wishes about Chris...It seems the whole base has this twenty four our bug...The thing is that Chris never does well when he i sick, so once or twice vomiting is like he is on his death bed.  He doesnt get sick often so when he does it is a production..lol....He is much better and actually got some good news...He is finishing c school and his job there are two postions on land security or water security. He called today to let me know he has been picked for the highly sought after water security. He just has to pass the swim test tomorrow...I will pray hard tonight for him.......

Ang...have a safe trip and most of all have a great time.

Janet.....doesnt suck that when we take days off it is to clean or catch up on home errands....why cant we have a day off for a spa trip...hahaha wishful thinking.....

 

Being on call has really sucked this week. I have been called out three times for bad accidents. The last one was two seventeen year old boys who were killed. Really sucked going to tell their parents....I so hate that part of my job. NOT FUN.......Tragedy's like this effect everyone.......

It has rained for two weeks I NEED SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Please Send Me some SUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNN.            Well Girls official off call tomorrow YEAH!!! and the sen is supposed to shine on SAturday WHOO HOOO..cant wait  Have A great weekend....

 

Comment by BigGaMoma(Angie) on May 19, 2011 at 10:32am

~~~Good Morning Ladies, hope everyone is good!!

Jan, come go with us.....

Kelly, hope Chris is better!! maybe a 24 hrs thingy? I hate you been on call...you always have to ready for anything....

Barb, hope you have a wonderful trip!!

Well, packing, fixing to leave..Lo-Lo's suitcase is going to cost her $200.00 to take if she keeps packing!!! LOL....go some news last night, our son (don't want to say his name or the name of the ship) his ship, surprised us and I think all of them, pulled out of port yesterday!!!! We missed his call and he left a message that he would call asap and they were to be gone only a few days...prayfully this a practice run! His message was like he was reading it!!! Very Mechanical...I trust GOD will surround him and his ship and protect them...I wasn't really ready to hear that!!!

Girls, I will talk to yall Tuesday, looking forward to a Great time!!! Gonna miss my hubby....Everytime we leave our loved ones we are SURE to tell them how we love them SO, I LOVE YALL!!!and Have a wonderful weekend.....pray I don't get the nervous squirts on the plane!!! Never flown....yahhhhhhhhh..........don't mean to sound so short about our son, just trying not to think about it to much...really upset me last night..GOD has given me a peace about it and I HAVE to TRUST HIM!!!!

Comment by janlee on May 19, 2011 at 9:54am

Good morning everyone!   I FINALLY took a day off. I need to clean this house. My cupboards are SO empty that even Mother Hubbard would be like.."Whaaaat"??

It has been raining here for two whole weeks! Seriously, our grass is up to our shins. Ive noticed twigs growing up that will soon turn into small trees if we dont get to cutting here soon. Its supposed to be sunny on saturday, and then another week of MORE rain...uuhhggg! Its SO DEPRESSING.

Barb--hope you enjoying Norfolk. Words of advice??? Just GO WITH IT!!! Enjoy every moment!

Kelly--i hope Chris isnt TOO sick?? Everyone ive talked too said they have sore throats and sinus infections. They must have gotten it from JANIE!!!. janie, are you spreading a VIRUS!!??...LOL!! I know its hard to be so far away from them when they arent feeling well. I know how you must feel. I find it hard to be away for anything. When max is nervous ( like during his FBI interviews)...i just wished i was there.. When he was unsure of BC, when he had to find his way thru the airport, and even when he said he had to stand 6 hour watches..i just wanted to make it better..all we can do now is offer comforting words of advice, and be there for them when they need it. We are officially "on call" from now on. Thank GOD we have EACH OTHER!!!

Be safe and enjoy Barb!

Headed to Norfolk in the morning! Staying at the Navy Gateway Suites. Any words of wisdom??
Comment by NavyMomKim on May 18, 2011 at 6:48am

Poor Christopher...Kelly that really sucks.  It's just in our nature to want to nurture.  Hope is all better now. Maybe just talking to you made it better for him.

Janet...you did just what I would have done.  Apparently those girls were not raised proper and you can think of yourself as a teacher.  On the surface they may seem they don't like you but deep down they have respect for you.

 

Comment by Kellymcd11 on May 17, 2011 at 10:10pm
Janet, good for you for telling those girls. They probably were shocked when you put them in their place...I loved reading that..
Ang...I havent even been able to plant my veggies. Damn weather......I love raw veggies but you freaked me out about the pin worms...yuck!!!!
Today there was a pair of mallard ducks swimming in my pool. I thought it was so cool and then our friend the woodchuck came running across the yard from one shed to another. Love watching nature.

Well, Christopher is sick. The first time since he left for BC. He said he has been vomiting since last night. I felt so bad for him. When he told me I instinctively said. I will make you some soup then got sick to my stomache after realizing I cant. His favorite soup is lipton cup of soup sopped with bread. He always called it bread soup when he was small...I dont even know how he eats it. blah!!
I am not a very good cook but the one thing I can make good is different soups and the kids favorite is out of a freakin box. lol...I know he will be fine but it made me miss himincredibly. I am sure you guys get these feelings to.
Janie...how is the voting? What place are you know?
I am glad everyone is doing great. Work still sucks and is really busy. I hate being on call.............Good Night girls...
Comment by janlee on May 17, 2011 at 7:09pm

hey everyone...sorry ive been away. Work is getting CRAZY. The hotel has been filled with 'storm chasers' . they are from texas, arkansas, etc..we have had some pretty bad storms here the past month and they have arrived in droves to cash in on all the damage.

I cant remember who all said what, so i will not personalize...haha! I HATE raw veggies!!..i LOVE them steamed or grilled, but DO NOT offer me a raw pepper..i will bite your finger off. (JK)..And ive always said, if anyone ever wants to get any information out of me...tie me to a dentist chair and feed me raw celery, and i will tell you ANYTHING you want to know..LOL!! Those two things are TORTURE to me..:)

I think its great Kim that your son is so responsible..you must be so proud. Its great to watch them become mature adults..even though they will always remain kids to us! Cant wait for you to relay how his visit is going...ENJOY!!

Angie..i have a niece that teaches handicapped/mentally challenged kids. Its so important for them to function as normal as they can amongst everyone else. Its hard work sometimes, but it really makes such a difference.

YES!!! i put the 'mean girls' in there little places. I cornered them and told them that this isnt high school anymore, that this is a place where adults come to make their livings. I then told them that they picked the wrong f***ing day with the wrong f***ing bitch because i was having a BAD morning (which i WAS)..now they are going along with everyone else. They even had scrubs on the last two days..haha!   WHO KNEW???..LOL!!! Im finally in the groove of things and its actually working out pretty good.

I need a day off though..:!  ive been working so much. We are having an auction at our house on Saturday. A BIG one!! We are getting rid of all the items Mike has hoarded over the last 25 years. he has 7 sheds and two garages full of just painting equipment. he is also selling his knive collection and his Rolling Rock collection (yayyyyyyy!)...we are downsizing because we have been downsized..hahaha! Wish me luck ladies!! I just hope it doesnt RAIN!!!!!!!!!!
