Got into a very large fight with my Grandma tonight. She's continuously shutting down me wanting to go see G. For literally, NO reason. Just keeps shutting it down. I went about stating my opinions in an extremely mature way.

 

I put this

 

I understand you’re being protective. But I’m almost 17 years old, and Gaige and I have been together 6 months.
You know him well, and should know he will make sure to his highest power that I am okay, In wherever I go, and whatever I do. He is protective over me and would let no one hurt me, or even become a threat. Grandma, I love him. I can’t just not see him for 5/6/7 months at a time, if I have the chance to, if I have the chance, to not miss school and be able to see him, and afford it myself, I think I should be able to do so. I understand that there are strange people, but you and Aunt Shari raised me well, and I know how to handle those situations. Nor would I let myself get into those situations. I know to stay in public places, where there are many people around, and I know my way around airports, and procedures. I’ve traveled a lot. I really want to go see him, it means A LOT to me. Not being able to could conflict with our relationship, and I really don’t want that, I care about him a lot, and he cares about me. He treats me well, and my family likes him. It’s only 4 days, not 4 months, nor 4 years. I’m planning it so it doesn’t involve missing school, That’s responsible. You have got to trust that I can handle this. I graduate in May, and I can’t be protected anymore then, so why protect me now? I’m ready to spread my wings and prove I am capable, let me prove it. Let me prove that I can handle it by myself. Aunt Shari thinks I am capable, and trusts me to do so….She’s not yet been wrong on anything she’s convinced you to let me do, and I haven’t screwed it up…So why not trust our opinions now? I will be just fine, I know I will. Please Grandma, I am asking you with the utmost respect, and I have given many reasons as to why I can handle it, and should be able to go. Not to mention, he’s trying to get me to be able to stay in an on base villa, that’s as safe as you can get, on a military compound. Please Grandma, can I go? Please…

 

That is the email I sent her. She still says No. My aunt, her daughter is more laid back, and I spoke to her, as always, because she's the one that listens when grandma shuts it down, then if she thinks it's okay, she talks to my grandma about reconsidering, well, my aunt has never let me do anything, or convinced my grandma to do anything that has gotten me in trouble, caused me to lie, etc. Never, she's always been right, and it's always been okay. Well, My aunt thinks me seeing him is absolutely no big deal, because I am completely funding it myself, and I am being responsible, and I was raised well. It doesn't make any sense what so ever as to why she keeps shutting it down. I've been on 20+ planes in my lifetime, and I know how to handle airports, to call the cops if anything is suspecious, to scream bloody murder if anyone touches you, and to not go in private places alone, I know all of that, I was raised knowing all of that. But she STILL keeps saying no. She expects me to just not see my boyfriend of 6 months, for another 6 months pretty much. She doesn't understand that I understand he will be deployed, and will not be able to see my often, she doesn't get that it is perfectly logical to see him, WHILE HE CAN. I don't get it:/ Sorry, I needed to vent. This has been eating at me all day, and I can't get over it. I just can't.

Hi Ladies!

 

Hurley- I am joining you in prayer for Matt and the Bergman family. Paul had been on the USS Boxer for training (the Boxer and the Bonhomme Richard were both LHD's)  Praying for everyone involved.

 

Iris- So glad you made the Derby team! I had no clue what that was until I met you! Seems like fun, but I'm sure I could never skate...I'm way too uncoordinated. LOL. How are things with Haley and her b/f?

 

AJ- been thinking of you as you help the family with the USS Boxer...I'm so glad someone is willing to help them! I know they need it. It's so hard to loose a Sailor. A friend of Paul's just got hurt on his ship and they're not sure he's going to make it.

 

Mary- I hope your son ends up coming home for a visit. I can't imagine being a mother and hearing that a son or daughter doesn't want to come home. :(   But I'm sure I'll get my chance to feel that sometime once my children grow up. Did the kids enjoy their first day of school?

 

Ok, I'm sorry if I missed someone! Oh and of course....

 

Nicole! I LOVE your pictures...you know I've been keeping up with you on FB. :)

 

Alright...as for us, my insurance company suddenly decided to change their "coverage" so I had to change doctors for my pregnancy. I ended up going to an "Alternatives Woman's Health" that helps woman and girls decide if they want to keep their baby, etc. They also do pregnancy confirmation and free sonograms. They scheduled me for a free sonogram next week!!!! So looking forward to seeing my little "bean."  And then I am working on getting a doctor all set up. I wanted to get official proof of pregnancy so I could get on WIC. I love that place and it really helps with Women and Infants. I'm looking forward to the jugs and jugs of milk! LOL...and of course all the fruit and veggies. YUM!

 

TJ is getting big and half walking/half crawling. He is such a big boy now!  And Paul is doing good....just kinda depressed over his whole family situation. They really hate me, so now his dad called the other day and told him to NEVER call them again. And that I can never contact them for any reason. I guess if something happens to Paul, i'll have to contact the Police to inform them, because they've blocked me from calling, or emailing. It's really sad. It's a long story, but they think I'm ruining Paul and that I'm a horrible wife and mother. They believe I'm causing them drama, but in all reality, the "drama" that is going on is caused by them. I don't know why they're being this way, but oh well. Life goes on and I don't have time for them and their lies.

 

Anyways! Blessings to all of you! Hope everything is going well.

Ok, I am getting ready to pray for Matt and the Bergman family. What a heartbreak. I am also going to pray for Faith. Iris, your friend has such a heavy heart right now. I liked her page. For her too. Ok, I will pray to the Virgin Mary. She also lost her child.

Okay, so it's all reversed and crazy, but you get the picture.

 

Nicole - I'm so glad you are able to skype with him already. I don't know what I'd do without it. It really is so awesome. And in my case, I can tell when Haley's not being straight up with me. Lol....

 

Mary - Congrats on Dereck getting College for grad hold. Now, what exactly does that mean? Lol.... Can't believe it's already time to be thinking about another school year. I'm in complete denial cause that means it's his last and then he's off to bootcamp. Not coping just yet, so I'll just think about that another day. A little Scarlet O'Hara ....  Lol...

 

Hurley - Cast Iron. Seems like all the new fangle stuff we have turns out to be really bad for us. I hear stuff about plastic and aluminum and non-stick. I know all the processed food stinks, so maybe we should start cooking like our grandparents did. Close to farm. Can't see that you can go wrong with that. Of course we need to resurrect all the old recipes too. Mmmmm.... I'm getting hungry. Fresh fried chicken... drool!

 

AJ - I know you've been busy with the memorial idea for the Sailor on the Boxer. He and his family have been on my mind so much. I think we all can't help but have a little moment of emotion with the thought that it could of been any of our own kids and we could be the mourning family. Breaks my heart. I don't want anyone to feel that kind of pain. A friend of mine is loosing his little girl (she'll turn 9 really soon) to cancer. They've been fighting it for two years and they are now at the end. One of her requests is to have 9000 people like her FB site "Faith's Friends" for her 9th bday. If you all get a chance, please do this. And if that isn't enough, another child from my hometown, Ethan, also about 9, has days left to live. Also due to cancer. He is a friend of Faith's. So sad that these two families have been brought together fighting such a horrible disease and are both loosing their children.

 

Well, I know that's a really sad note to end on. I unfortunately must play taxi to Cody and drop him off somewhere, so I need to say bye for now. RSL and really big hugs to you all.

 

Oh and I got approval from the derby skater with the name Fran K Stein to use my name (Frankie Stein). If two evils approves it, that will be what I use. If not, my back up is Rolla Billie. Fingers are crossed.

 

Hugs and brighter days ahead.

Okay it worked, but at the beginning it should of said, I just got off skype with Haley and.....

 

Comment by iris - Wahiawa, Hawaii on August 3, 2011 at 5:12pm

Fred avoided me again but we have set a date again for next Sunday. I don't understand what is so frightening about talking to me, but he's scared shitless. Anyhow, I chatted with Haley. She's finding out if her car is fixable, if not she will be looking for something else. Everything else is going well. She's very happy. When we first started skyping Fred was in the room and I kept asking Haley what she was looking at/who was there and she denied anyone being there cause he didn't want me to know. Finally he wrote on a tablet "she knows I'm here" and ran out. Haley fessed up and I asked her to go get him but he wouldn't return. I've never encountered a grown man behaving quite like this. We'll see if he keeps his Sunday appointment. Crazy. Haley and I had a good talk and some of it was in front of him. I asked some hard questions. What her plans where and if she thought she'd be able to be true to her plans even if Fred asked her not too. She said the only difficult part would be if he asked her to marry him, then she'd have to rethink the Navy Career cause if she does the Officer route to get her Nursing degree then they couldn't date. She'd outrank him. Also, it's quite possible he now knows, that I know, he cheated on Haley. Can't remember when we discussed certain things. Sooooo..... the saga continues.

Hi Everyone.

 

Sorry I've been away. Been busy. Cody's car has been pooping out and we finally got it in to the mechanic. To start it needs a new radiator. Hopefully not much more. Finally skyped with Haley today. Haven't heard a peep from her since the accident, so it was nice to chat with her. I'm going to try to copy and paste so I will enter this and then try my experiment.

Mary, I am still laughing. Love the OPSEC and Ham. That was great. Guess you've been busy with your job. When I read ,hot, I thought you might have been talking about some jobs you've done... Hehe, sorry. Now I'm confused , is Derrick coming home for TG or he just told you no he's not?

Happy for ya Nicole. So nice to get to Skype.

So I've been scrubbing my mother in laws and grand mother in laws old cast iron pots and pans and then oiling them and sealing them and sticking them in the oven to season them again. Ok, I need new pots and pans to work on my new stove. So funny how this stove s so technologically advanced yet something so traditional as a cast iron pan seems to work the best. Talk about back to the future moment!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 2, 2011 at 2:10pm

Yeah, I definitely see that. I've often been asked if I was married, because I wear it on that hand, it's just comfortable there. because I have a ring my aunt got me on my right hand too, on my pinky. and G wears my class ring that used to go on my right ring finger, which makes it feel naked, but my ring on my right hand doesnt feel right over there, because they were different sizes. wow. i hope i didnt just confuse everyone
