Morning Ladies -
Nicole - Yay so close to the first letter. Oh does that bring back memories. Remember the kid in the box, the first phone call where they sounded like hell, and the beginning of stalking the mail man. I don't miss that, but wow, what feelings you going through this again brings up. We are sooooo... with you sweetie. You know we have all adopted you so when you go in, you have this many more Mom's who are going to support you. Let us know if the BF needs letters or something. I'm sure we could help.
Mary - I am now thinking I have to have a pair. I've never tried one on so did not know that they are super comfy and warm. The drop seat might be an issue since I'm uber talented at dangling stuff into the toilet when going. LOL... Belts, bathrobe sashes, you name it, somehow those little devils just dive right in when I'm least prepared to rescue them. Oh and on the ASVAB for dummies book, I got Cody one so he could study it. He still needs to take the ASVAB this summer I do believe to start having an idea to what his job might be in the Corp. I'm just a year out on his going in. Lordy! He's my baby and last and I think this one is going to really be tough. But I still have a year, so I'll save the tears for then.
Hurley - yeah Haley and I sort of got all excited about this and didn't look at anything else. Sounded like a great job, safe, interesting, great bonus and neither of us figured she would have this much difficulty with it. So... our bad. She also knows that changing her rate is going to be difficult or not happen at all right now. She doesn't want to do anything that will mess up her future in the Navy. She likes it, just not her job. I think it has a lot to do with the girl she's working with. If she was supportive, Haley wouldn't be feeling quite so dumb and discouraged. But what can you do. Maybe she'll get lucky and something will open up and everything will fall into place. If not, well there are many times in our lives we end up doing stuff we don't like. That is called building character. Oh and I'm feeling really well. A tiny bit sore but now I am well enough that I have to be sure I behave and not set myself back. 5 more long weeks to go. Sigh!
Well folks I'm out of here. I really, REALLY, need to do a little housework. Somehow it just doesn't do itself. Lol... Have a fantastic Friday and weekend. I hope you all hear from your sailors/guardsmen soon. RSL and XXX's & OOO's.
WOW Mrs. B- That is wonderful news. Maybe you guys can get a lot of compensation out of this.
Mary- My daughter loves those PJ's also. Really wanted some while in GL's. They are so comfortable to lounge in. Can't believe you have naked guys running around your yard. Really can't believe the girls would go inside. LOL
Iris- So glad your daughter was there to help her friend in a time of need.
