Loving the doggie talk. Love mine too....but my big goofy lab had a young cat (feral cats in our neighborhood), cornered in the back yard today.  Awful!  He is 85 lbs and it took all of my strength to pull him back and pull him away on his leash.  Didn't help that I was sick with the stomach virus!  Of course, he had blood on his snout from where the cat got him.  He is a rescue and doesn't care for cats, but on our walks, he has gotten where they don't bother him.  But when they come into our yard...watch out!  Yes, yard is fenced but of course that means nothing to cats.  My catty corner backdoor neighbor is one of the feeders in the neighborhood and they just keep reproducing.  She is 80 now and said she is too old to trap them and fix them.  Even though others in the neighborhood offered to help her.  UGH!  This is the 3rd time my dog has gone after one...the last one jumped in the pool to escape him!  Thankfullly got out and my neighbor came and took him to the vet to be checked out. Awful....I have nothing against cats at all, but am not a fan of the feral ones that just keep reproducing.....

Ar Navy Mom, I also have a mini schnauzer....she is our lil doll, and our Sr's lil girl.  She sits in front of his door every night and goes to his door every morning.  We let her sleep with one of his shirts, ...she seems to be taking his absence even harder than we are....man's best friend right?

Good evenng all! MomsDivided - love your posts! Good thinking on your husbands part.  I am sure that helps with the transition from having kids at home to the EMPTYNEST!  I would've got one when our SR left too but we have two dogs! Min Schnuazer and a mut that someone dumped. LOVE LOVE LOVE them both dearly.

 

@ Betsy - Yes, I did.  A new GPS on Walmart.com.  Since it was going to cost me about $100 to upgrade mine (that I've only had for 3 years!) I bot a $349 one for $118 WITH FREE MAP UPGRADES FOR LIFE! 

 

@ ALL - have a wonderful week and praying our SR's are doing the BEST they can with all that is going on for them this week and next.

Anyone doing any cyber shopping today?  I am!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday.  I was at a B&B for the holiday weekend with my husband and they had no internet, so that explains my absence this weekend.  I can't believe that my husband and I actually spent an entire weekend together without tv and internet and survived.  

My sailor son was able to have his holiday dinner with his godmother, since she had traveled to FL to see her family.  I missed him so much, but I'm so glad that if he couldn't be with us, he was able to spend time with his aunt and her family.    

My daughter and her sailor fiance in HI hosted 4 other sailors from his ship, for dinner.  She said it was so nice to cook for them and they appreciated being there so much.  I'm so happy that she and her bf opened up their home to them.   

I am glad to be back.

momshousedivided:  Ahhhhh....on your new pup.  Such innocence, so cute!  Tiring like a baby, but their devotion to you is worth it all! 

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning everyone! Sorry for being MIA- just not able to respond this weekend.Had a pretty good weekend. Got to talk to "the boy". He was excited but nervous about MarlinSpike and Hell week- he never said it but it was sure in the inflection of his voice and words. hehe! I just think that it is the fear of the unknown and wanting to excel that drives the worry- but that is in everything in life.

I REALLLLLLLLYYYYY don't want to go to work today- Talk about a H#$@ week! hahaha! Oh well- It's only five days =D

To keep my off not having kiddos around my hubby thought that it would be GREAT to get a new puppy- OH BOY!!  hourly trots the backyard in the cold for potty training- whining and bed time routines,not to mention putting all the christmas ornaments and decor up higher so she doesn't get at them- sheesh! Oh well she is a cutie and has so much personality.

I sure hope y'all have a great week. Praying for our kiddos this week- this is a big test of their training. I know they can do it, but fingers and toes are crossed and prayers are upon the lips and in the heart.

Just had to put this one up- Happy shopping to one and all-

Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.

eleesmom:  I believe the sailors will be advised on that.  Since the Navy pays for the sailor's travel from RTC to A School, 'leave" travel is up to the sailor.  They may be told to take a cab to the base, but I feel sure the sailors will be advised.

I have heard a complete itinerary (of leave time) needs to be sent in order for leave to be granted.  Can anyone shed light on how our sailors will get from the airport to their "A" school base after holiday leave?  Is that something a parent arranges or will that be coordinated by RTC or the school?

It makes sense that they would ask if they are okay. I guess if they don't answer that would be a good indication that they are not. I was so glad I had heard of this before PIR. I probably would have freaked when I saw one of the Sailors go down and get dragged out the back. Thankfully he was fine :-)
