Good Morning to Everyone.
Happy Friday. Will be posting picture tomorrow or Sunday, only if Christina will allow it. We babysat yesterday and Grandpa gave Aurora one of his Beer Bottles to chew on. It is so cute but mom was mortified. I think!!!. There was nothing in it by the time she got it, just cold. She has her 1st fall. I am glad I wasn't the one that did it. Mom was. Christina did not realize how fast she could flip over. Put her on the bed and rolled off in matter of seconds. Aurora only cried for about 30 seconds and then started to laugh. They ended up in the ER because the consulting nurse stated that since she was under a year they had to go. The doctors came in the room and Aurora smiled at them and the doctor stated that he was pretty sure there was nothing wrong with her. Checked her over and nothing wrong except a bruise on the face. She seemed happy enough yesterday when we babysat. Like I said to Christina, that won't be the last of her falls. Just wait until she walks. I got the OH Mom thing saying and that look. LOL.

Good Morning to Everyone.
Anna, Sorry your daughter isn't doing so well. I wish it would work.
Blondie, Still praying for everyone.
Splash, that is horrible. My daughter was down there for 3.5 years and did not have that trouble but she also lived off base because they did not have room for her on base.

splash,
Where in CA is your daughter? So sorry to hear about her living conditions. Some of our Navy's buildings are very old and they can accumulate some very interesting odors!!! I think the issues Blondie's daughter had to deal with was while overseas in foreign countries. But I think your suggestion of cleaning and fabreeze is a good one. If nothing else knowing her environment is clean will make her feel better. Hope it gets better for her soon!!!!
Catsmom,
Yay for Crystal!!!! I'm sure she is so excited to be in charge of boots!!! (not!!) But it could end up being a feather in her cap!!! Hope she likes her class!!! How is work going?
Blondie,
Sorry for all the health issues.
Jean,
So happy you are getting some good time with your little granddaughter!!!!
So Jenn got more "less than good news". She finally got a decent doctor to go to. Her quack doctor has been out of the country for the past month plus, so she has had no follow up on the radioactive treatment. Her new doctor has all her records from the previous guy and he did a new blood test on her. She is showing some improvement but it is very, very minimal. May not be a result of the treatment at all. But he can't give her another radioactive treatment until 6 months. So since she has been on hold for so long now, her original orders have expired because she never got to report to the new squadron. She has to have new orders written and she's concerned that the squadron won't want to wait any longer for her and for that matter the Navy itself may decide they don't want to wait any longer for her, especially since it could end up being a whole year yet. It amazing this thyroid condition has screwed up her life for so long, and there doesn't seem to be a quick end in sight!!!
On the plus side, we are about 6 weeks away from the wedding. Hubby and I have been stranded in Oklahoma with Jenn and David while waiting for parts for the trailer repair. We got good news this afternoon that the parts are in transit so, God willing, we should get our trailer back next week. We have been without our home since before Christmas!!! I'm so looking forward to getting some different clothes!!!! Hopefully we will be continuing our travels toward San Diego in a few more days!!!!!

Blondie...that is just horrible! I told my girl to get a bottle of bleach and some paper towels and clean everything. And as you said Febreze everything as well. I would think with the Navy standard things would be cleaner. Humm...another thing I am wrong about...LOL

Good morning everyone. I need advice. My daughter is undes. She got to her permanent duty station in CA last night. She said the room she and 3 of the othere girls were put in is filthy. She said it is really bad and smells horrible. She is terribly upset. I did tell her to get some bleach and paper towels and clean everything. Has anyone else had this happen?

Good morning everyone.
Blondie praying for all of you. Keep usosted.
Talked to crystal yesterday, she started class, and was put in charge of the " boots" as she calls them. She is the highest rank in the class. She was laughing and said I guess I have my work cut out for me. LOL
Have a good day everyone.
