Jessica, thanks, once again, for filling us in! David's recruiter had told me that he'd probably be carring a flag. I know that he wasn't going in as a band member, he had told us he was a little burned out on that. His dad was Army band so I think he also wanted to do something different. Josh's mom, I've got the right time for the Central Zone on my clock which is right for Okla. (given the time that's on it means that I haven't gotten much done today!) David has a dry sense of humor. Can quote Monty Python along with his father. He's always been very patient with me when I've done the "embarassing mom" things...yelled "offsides" at soccer games when I clearly didn't know what I was yelling about! :) And, more importantly, he has been patient with his dad this past year as he's regaled us with his Army basic stories. Again. And again ;-)

hey everybody! hope everyone is having a spectacular sunday! i fixed the countdown thingy to the correct date but also accidently fixed the time on the clock. originally the clock was the correct time for great lakes but now is set to eastern time an hour ahead...will try to re-fix it later...or does it show your time? let me know?!?!? welcome lizzie to our group. i suppose the RDC's are pretty rough on the kids and hubbies. but they are probably great people outside of there. i guess they are just trying to make them or break them so to speak.but this is a good thing. they need all the yelling and attention to detail that they can get so when they are out on those ships they will be ok. this is hard for us to hear none the less...we got 47 days to go....HOO YAH!! trying t stay busy today. went to the grocery store...that was depressing! groceries are outrageous. but you start feeding the kids three squares a day and they come to expect it after a while..lol! but i have to say with the feeding machine at BC it wasn't as bad as it has been! my daughter is four months pregnant and she is beginning to eat like her brother! i have my hubs, david and daughter elizabeth, my baby boy noah ( he is 6) and our other son (dog) moses and angel, my to good for us(or so she thinks) cat. joshua is the comedian in our house. we can hardly get through a meal wthout tea coming out of some ones nose from laughing. he is very witty, and always smiling. what are ya'lls kids like?( and husband lizzie?)

Good Sunday morning from soggy Okla as well! We're looking at another day of nice, gentle spring rain again. For us that's great, no severe weather, but good excuse not to weed! I saw that we had a meet and greet in OKC last weekend but that's a bit far for me. I'll have to see if there's a group closer to my area. Joshuasmom, thanks for putting up the weather bar on the site as well. I had just mentioned to a co-worker that I'd add the GL zip to Weatherbug. Also, it cracked me up to see you mention your "litter". Currently my at home litter consists my husband, daughter and her boys (live out of the nest) and the three cats and a dog, all of which she rescued as orphans from her stint at the FFA farm (luckily the lambs and hogs were sold at the end of their respective semesters). I'm currently reading a biography of Jacques Coustear and found it interesting that he was originally a French Naval officer whose job was to be a pilot. He was in a car accident that forced him to give up that ambition and go a differention with the navy. It'll be interesting to see where our kids lives take them.

Good morning, Joshuasmom. It is a sunny and beautiful Sunday morning here. I was up at 4:00 a.m. as usual, and my house is pretty much clean, clothes ironed, and now I'm ready to go get the Sunday paper to sit down for a nice read. I have a meet and greet with a couple of other moms from Northern California this afternoon, so that should be fun. We'll have to compare notes on where we're staying when we come for PIR, etc., because I've never been to Chicago or that area, and it would be nice to meet everyone when I'm there.

good sunday morning to you all! hope everyone had a peaceful nights sleep. the weekends can be hard with our kids not being home, but we are one day closer to PIR and seeing them again! i hope the sun is shining where you are and that you can take the time to relax today and recharge for the week ahead. gotta get the rest of my litter ready for church and then see where the day takes us! have a great one everybody!!

welcome tallmama!! very nice to meet you! i'm so glad your here! how have you been handling all this? please feel free to stop in anytime. we are all here to hold each other up and get through this together, just like the kids. :) i think we should all decide what to wear so that we can spot each other at PIR. some groups are doing the same color shirt or there is a website that has t-shirts with the kids ship # and division flag on it..just a thought. hopefully more and more moms will be joining soon! i look forward to talking with you more! .
