Hello everyone. I hope all is okay with you guys. Must be busy around here. we had another busy weekend because we had my stepdaughters grad party. It all turned out good.
Well my son, my Airman, is off to Iraq today. i am doing okay but have my moments too. He doesn't actually leave until 10pm tonight an dhe will arrive there at 1245 am their time. which will really be around 5 or 6 am our time. He will be 7 hours ahead of me. they both will be that far ahead me now.
So I hope all is well with everyone down there.
Sue, My son is also on the Port Royal. What does your son do? Mine a CTR5. I have sent him emails but never hear from him. I really wished he let me know how things are and I have gotten phone calls when they ported but other than that, that is it. He has never been a great emailer anyways, so I am not expecting too much but I wished he would just send one.
Green Smooties, Daysleeper, what are those made of? My hubby over does it at work too he works for a cable company around here. He mostly has been working out of state, in West Virgina and it has been so hot for him lately. It is more of the humidity than anything else. What kind of dog do you have? I am a cat person but do like dogs as long as they are not in my house. I could handle an outside dog but none here for now. My daughter wants one in the worst way too. My daughter got her spacers on her teeth today. Now next week she will get fitted for her expander and then get that on here in 2 weeks. They start them out so early but she really needs it. She has teeth coming in everywhere. She wouldn't even loose her baby teeth and the adult teeth would be coming in behind them. Crazy.
Daysleeper, I know when mine is Hawaii he usually calls me about 2pm down there and it is 8pm here. Well in the winter it is only 5 hours so the times aren't too bad between here and there. If I text him he doesn't text me back anyways so i just gave up on that. If I need him at any time I will text him and tell him to call when he gets time too. Although, he is not a big talker so sometimes I think texting would be better anyways.
So how is everyone else?
Daysleeper, thank you and that jerky sounds wonderful. I love jerky.
So how is everything there? Not too bad here. The sun isn't shining as bright today but that is ok we need a little break. We need some rain!
Talked to my sailor this morning at 4am and it was 4pm his time. Man that boy needs to figure out the time differences,LOL. I told him I don't care what time he calls though as long as I get to talk to him. I was checking skype but he was unavalible,sp, this morning. Which it would be night time for him. He is having fun though. I think I need a nap though because someone called for my MIL lastnight at 1145 pm, I was not happy about that. Oh well. My daughter is at a daycamp this week from 930 to 3pm and I am hoping she is having fun. It is for 4H. Some of her friends are going too so she will be ok.
Well have a great day.
I am exicited I got a "B" for my final grade in my A&P 2 class. Ya me!!
Mia had a tooth pulled today and goes and gets the other out next Tuesday now. They wouldn't do both at the same time as to not traumatize her all in one day. Now she knows what to expect she was really nervous about this morning. She did wonderful.
Well hope all is good with you guys.
