Pain is so bad, but just give yourself a chance I think it always takes a little longer then it should, just take care of yourself. We will miss you! I will keep you in my prays and thoughts.
Diana, the last time I talked with Annie her husband was not coming anymore. But your Paul is always welcome. Happy Anniversary! How many years? Let me guess around 27, 28 or 29? Well if he does not come he can be waiting at home for you in something sexy!!!!!!!!!
Paula, I don't think I can make it tonight. Promised some parents that I would keep their kids late tonite. My father-in-law was one of the troops that liberated Auschwitz concentration camp in WW2. I am going to fill out the volunteer paper and mail it in though.
Julie, Thanks for the update. Was wondering and worrying about you all day. On the news this morning, they said the storms were headed for the Carolinas, so be careful. Talk to you soon!!
Why did they say what ship and what sea they dumped Bin Laden's body from??? I would think that would put that ship at high risk and I worry for the sailors.
Julie did your furniture get there?
Tomorrow is the big day! I will have an occipital nerve stimulator implanted at Northwestern so say a prayer I need it ladies!!! I want to be normal again!!! I want to party with you all when you go out!!! LOL
My prays are with you, I know you are going to be fine. LOL we have to watch what we say about our sailors and the whole world knows things they should not, go figure.
Julie, Have a great time and give Jess a big hug from one of her "other moms"!! When you get back, we want pictures!!
Mary, Congratulations, Grandma!!
At the next get-together, have I got stories from Navy Week in Denver!! Retired MCPON at the airport, also at the airport got to welcome home troops from Kandahar, Admiral who came to the packing party!!!
I bet that is really something when all you see is water all the time, you wonder is there really life out there. Julie give her a big hug from all of use, I am so excited for you, to see your sailor.
Rain, rain rain...what a weekend. Is it any better Michigan - Debbie? I hope everyone is staying warm! Have we heard from Paula #2 since the operation?
Sat., in MI we had the windows open, it was raining but temps were good, forget Sunday it was cold and raining. Well my daughter graduates this Sunday, yea for her. We are going up Sat., to bring a lot of things home and then again on Sunday for the graduations, and again it is suppose to rain. Have a great Monday!
Hi everyone...... hope all is well. Mary I have been wondering about Sally and Paula 2 also. Hope they are doing ok!!! Debbie congrats to you daughter!!! :) C/mon Julie spill it already how was the cruise???
Paula, thanks I do remember this now. Are we buying tickets that day. I am only asking because that is too far ahead for me to buy them now. Just wondering what you ladies are thinking? Who is going and who is driving?
About Rockin' for the Troops. It is best to get tickets beforehand because 1. they are more expensive on that day and 2. this event has been known to sell out! You have to park and take a shuttle to Cantigny. Now I live about 3 miles from there, Everyone could meet at my house and then carpool to the event. Remember to bring lawn chair. LMK what you all think!!
Hi all, I am back and so much better!!!!! WOW the surgery was rough they had allot of trouble instaling the neurostimulator. They took an MRI to make sure I had enough space in my spinal canal to fit all the wires and pad but when they got in there they could not fit it. So a 3 hr surg turned into an 8hr surg but he got it in place ( had to cut three vertebrea though) I have had this thing on 24/7 since the 6th and I am amazed how much pain is gone.
So what's on the agenda..... Rockin for the Troops???
Hi Paula, wow you have gone through a lot. How are you feeling? I am glad you have less pain that is wonderful. We have missed you. Yes we are talkers aren't we. LOL So are you up and moving around. Sounds like you are ready for some fun! And we are ready to give you some. LOL
Thanks Annie, I am very proud of my daughter, she has worked very hard and did it in four years. LOL
Paula - welcome back...we missed you! Your surgery sounds like it was really rough. How long is the recovery process?
Debbie congrats! Living together again...lol...we can swap stories. My navy son's girlfriend is also living with me now for the summer. She has an internship in the area. She is very excited to be up here so she can meet all of you some time this summer.
Life has been crazy lately...so crazy that I didn't remember till yesterday that I am headed out of town next weekend. I am going to see my cousins in Omaha for the weekend.
Pat I like the idea of meeting up at your house on the 16th. I will purchase my tickets soon. I have a couple extra lawn chairs if people need them
Haven't been here for awhile--busy with life, too.
Thursday we drove to Waukegan and stayed at the Ramada, got to attend a bit of the meet and greet for the new grads' families. I had met some of the moms on the PIR page, so it was fun to actually talk to them. Friday morning our son took his dad, me, and his two little girls to the RTC where we were honored and awed to attend a capping ceremony and PIR, but our primary reason for being there was to see our son re-enlist for six years. (He's an instructor there.) It was quite an experience. The oath was administered by the commanding officer of the RTC, a really personable man! He presented all of us with certificates of appreciation for supporting our son's Navy career. What a great weekend!
Michelle, I am so happy he is coming home, enjoy whatever time you get with him. LOL Congrats on your son hope they do well in the soccer tournment, the weather could be a little better for that sport.
I am so happy for you and Tom. So he is an E5???? I told Stephen he was coming. He told me he could not be his sponsor because he is not an IT and they are several places he could end up maybe not with Stephen, but we will wait and see. Congrats Barbara that is wonderful news.
HEY EVERYONE!! Let's get together and go to the Rockin' for the Troops Concert with Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band at Cantigny on July 16!! I posted information in the "Events" section. Come to my house for lunch and then we can carpool to the concert! Navy Moms ROCK!!!
Hi Michelle, how are you? No she is still looking, you have anything????? I am counting on you! I am only kidding! We have to get together soon. Have a nice weekend!
Ladies enjoy your weekend, I am leaving for MI after work, will be back on Monday.
Happy Memorial Day and thank all your Sailors for protecting my family and I am thinking of you all!
I can't make the Rockin for the Troops even though I want to sooooo bad. The doc does not think I can walk far or sit on the lawn for several hours. DAM
