Oh both are nice eye candy! Wonder why they are holding the approval..
Carol Ann happy you heard from your son, sorry he got into trouble, but not to much. Us Moms and our intuition ..lol , it happens and he is safe and sound and lesson learned. Song fits...Lol.
Have a good day everyone, waiting for the Rock....
Yeah, I am very surprised cuz usually he is so responsible--especially when it comes to drinking...Guess not this time! My husband is going to tease him to death when he gets wind of this!
I think we have all been there at least once..LOL. He may be teased a long time..my Son still hears about the time he drank to much and slept all night on the front lawn, to be woken up by the sprinklers...LOL
Yeah egg and Margaritas and M&M's! You would think the way I talk that I am a big drinker and I hardly even ever have a drink. Then my son comes along and gets himself in trouble! I may just have to call up the Bush and tell them to set sail without me! LOL
I guess I will have to go if I'm the Driver--don't want to let my gal pals down now...I am MAD at him though and told him that he is still responsible even if the guy he was with was supposed to be the designated person who should still have paid attn to how much the other guy was drinking as it effects them both. I certainly do not want him to get in trouble in a foreign land especially! I think he learned a little lesson here--hopefully! Anyhow I think I need one of those "Rita's now and an extra long back rub to calm down! lol
Carol Ann I'm still waiting for the approval to post the pic of the Head Cabana Boy In Charge...The Rock/Dwayne Johnson! He is clothed promise,but the pic will make your day for sure! I'm reading a book called Beyond the Mommy Years how to live happily ever after...after the kids leave home! It is very insightful and funny! Carin Rubenstein PhD is the author. My#1 New Year's Resolution: trying to adjust to the new life now my son is growing up to be a Navy Sailor and man! Yippee!
Maybe someone has alerted them to all our pictures and we now are being censored! LOL Guess they didn't think my Santa Cabana was worth sensoring-lol! I think I may need to read that book after you're finished with it! Is there a book out there titled "How to keep your sanity while your kid's in the military"? If so please direct me to that one! lol
Carol Ann, everyone makes mistakes now and then, No egg on your face, I am sure his CO gave him the what for..LOL. We need you on the Bush with us, will have your Rita and Massage waiting for you!
Coach Shelia, sounds like a good book. So many adjustments us Momma's must make..
So I have the M&M'S , where are the cabana boys?
I believe we raise the best of the best sailors and all military personnel ever in this world, there would be no advertisement if it wasn't for us. What commercial is at the Superbowl. THIS YEAR!
."A Global Force for Good"" ???? What are the public going to picture our sons and daughters as? We believe-We sacrifice as MOMS who birthed greatness to be: from the depths of our soul and if we as moms have some fun small as it may be for our sacrifices we are doing the work of protecting humanity far and wide and keeping many, MANY years of sanity to ourselves. Navy knows this. We love protecting humanity as so do our sons and daughters of every creed, nationality and belief worldwide. Our sailors feed off of good, our families our base of life.,if we as MOMS let off a feel of accomplishment and pride in a way that uplifts OUR spirits our children's future goals for all us with no OPSEC breakage of issues. Is this what the N$M's are about? Give a little, live a little for us in the most minute way we can release our longing, missing, praying for safety for our sons and daughters ever. For the holidays, for the New Year , for the world. Love to all my N4moms forever!!!
move over ladies? Gaisey send those cabana boys to PA. After a 13 hour round trip to Columbus Ohio to get our son to his ride going back home to Florida, I'm exhausted.
Carol Ann nothing to be ashamed of. One mistake doesn't make your son a bad kid or you a bad momma. We all make mistakes and we all learn through making mistakes. Live and learn.
julie01 a Navy commercial will be on for the super bowl? Awesome.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Hope you all have a safe and fun time.
Today is my hubby and my 5th Anniversary, much to celebrate today. 3 or 4 months and we will all be Hugging our Sailors! Yea!
too tall Joan you need those cabana boys! Happy you made it home safe!
Happy New Year to you all! Be safe and have fun. If you are gonna drink make sure you have a Designated Driver. i am going to be the DD tonight for my hubby. Gonna travel about 45-50 mins to his cousin's house for dinner. Hopefully I can stay away for the NY ball to drop. Am already tired and it's only 11:30 am here!
Happy New Year 2014 everyone!!! This is such a great group to be part of! Sending prayers and well wishes your way today and forever! Thanks so much for being here for me. I have survived some life changes and I'm feeling very Blessed! I can't wait to get to meet you soon! Let's bring in the New Year staying focused,patient and positive! Sincerely...thanks for understanding the journey we signed up for when Our Sailors swore in! People without children in the military just don't understand I've learned since my son left for bootcamp. Friends Forever! Yippee!!!
Thanks Coach: You are a joy and a blessing like all the other Moms on this site! Wishing you all a safe and healthy and happy new year. just think ladies this is the year our sailors will come home! Yay!
I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. And thank you for all the support that i have received in 2013. Looking forward to more laughs and of course the cabana boys what be the New Year be without them.
Carol Ann you are this will be the year that they come home. Let the count down begin. I ordered my homecoming banner last night.
So everyone have a great evening and be safe. Like Carol Ann said if you are going to drink have a Designated Driver.
my hubby and I are doing something different this year. We usually have a party here and invite family and friends (no drinking for us) but this year we are just going to watch a movie and relax. Be safe for any of you that are going out to party tonight. Don't want to come bail any of you out of jail. lol
Happy New Year Navy Moms! So happy, I got an email from my son about 45mins ago! He just arrived at the ship Sunday night (1st tail hook landing) and said in part, "everything is going good, very happy so far - love ya!" I can't think of a better way to start the new year! He had quite the experience getting to the ship - Portugal to Italy, to Greece and then the last port city. He enjoyed exploring (in areas permitted) and soaking up the culture of the last port city for a couple of days before heading to the ship Sunday night. He's already a world traveler!
Hey ladies - I have a question. I know our opsec / persec rules state not to post names on here. So...who to they post full names on the HST Facebook page??
Hello Ladies and Happy New Year to you all! I slip-slided into work today and made it with 5 mins to spare! Thought for sure I was going to be late but wasn't. I allowed double my drive time and was about on the money this morning. Don't know what it's going to be like going home but I guess I won't have to worry about that for a few hours yet-lol! Winters in OH-gotta love 'em. Hoping you all around the country stay safe. Sounds like the North East is really getting hammered so I guess I cannot complain. When I drove in we had about 3 inches. I think they are expecting 5-6 by the time the snow stops flying. Then the temp is supposed to drop. I am more worried about ice than snow.
DARmom: Glad your son made it safe and sound to the Truman. What an experience to land on the ship that way. Sounds like he got to sight see a bit going to and a little R&R ahead never hurts.
Coach Sheila: FINALLY got to see your picture and as far as I am concerned he can be the head cabana boy with those arms and abs--holy cow!
Regina: Adopting another group? Good for you! I mailed out Feb's birthday cards yesterday--hoping they make it on time. March will be my son's birthday month. Will have to make sure I bake him a cake in the jar for that care pkg. I am starting to get another one together right now. He has requested raisins--says he misses them. So I have two boxes to send and some beef jerky--said he's getting burned out on Slim Jims. Also told me to NOT send any more candy for a while.
Celeste: So happy for you! You will be getting more time with your sailor then I am assuming with the shore leave assignment. My son has also been attached to the Truman for about 4 years now. 2 years prior in "Nuke School" in S.C. and training for that and then
in upstate N.Y. This will be his last deployment, his 6 years of service is up in June. I cannot wait for him to return home. Sure have missed him!
Well ladies have a great day and a great year ahead!
Happy New Year to all! Hoping for safety for all those who have to travel in the snow and ice today - prayers for you all! Here in south Mississippi, we don't have snow - just hurricanes!!!! Wishing a wonderful 2014 for all moms and our sailors!
Pat L D: Good to see you again on here.Thank you for starting this group--or at least I think you did. I was thinking Celeste has been on here a while too as I also have. My son's out in June and I sure am going to miss you all and being part of this group myself. I may still pop in and out though as I will miss all...
So glad I do not live where you do. It's bad enough here in OH today! Stay safe! Hopefully no power outages are in store for you with these temps!
Good Morning, Celeste doing the HAPPY Dance for you! I know you are counting down the days!
For all of you in this cold and snowy/ icy weather stay safe! No snow here, just fires.....we need some rain and cooler temps.
Got an email from my girl, she said they watched the ball drop in NYC at 9 am, and it is just another day for them, she is extremely busy, and waiting on her Murder board. Stating to study for the next advancement test in March. It was good to hear from her.
Praying that all who are in the snow and icy weather stay safe!
I wanted to pass on some info to you all. I finally found the order form (I had misplaced it) for my sailors deployment pic. You can still order the pics with a $10 late fee of course. If you never received an order form you can call Portrait Works at 1-800-323-0578 and see if a pic was taken of your sailor and get the form reissued.
The lady also told me that they are working on a cruise book (yearbook) for this deployment. They can be pre-ordered now at cruisebooksouce.com. The book will not be completed until they get the homecoming photos and said it will be about 3 months after they return that the book will be ready. We can order them at the same price as they can order them on the ship.
Thanks for the info too tall Joan. Will check it out.
Celeste and Carol Ann please stay in touch. Will miss you.
So my hubby broke his wrist, he tripped on uneven pavement. Goes to the Ortho on Monday. He says he ended the year with a Crack..LOL.
Praying for all who are in the freezing weather, stay safe. Hope it doesn't last to long.
Catsmom: Sorry to hear about your husband. That can be a very painful break and also hard to heal. Glad to hear he's seeing an Orthopedist for it. Want to make sure he gets checked properly for it and fixed so it heals properly.
Left work early yesterday and it took me an hour and 10 mins to drive home. Normally it takes me 1/2 hour to get to work. This morning I allowed extra time and it only took me about 40-45 mins. Roads were better still icy. Very cold out here in OH and going to get colder! We are expecting another snow front this weekend and another 3-5 inches I believe from what they are saying...Great! Glad I do not live in north east though!
too tall Joan thank you so very much for the info on the deployment pictures. I'm checking into it now because the info apparently went to my ex husband. After call the 1 800 # I was told for security reasons my Sailor will have to contact the Portrait Works for me to see the proofs so that's so much I hadn't heard of deployment pictures till you mentioned it.
Happy happy New Year to all my Navy friends!! I just got back from the beach and I am totally refreshed from spending 4 days laughing, drinking margaritas, and eating tons of M&Ms and hanging with the cabana boys at the Polar Bear Plunge! What a great party!! Well folks we are more than halfway there! My son wrote and said, he will be taking time with us when he returns and will be home for our daughter's 21st bday! Yay!! I am so excited! I hope those of you who are in snow country are staying warm tonight. And, I am sending prayers across the seas to our sailors that they are staying patient, positive and focused!! Good night everyone; love to all!
Hi Ladies!!! Sitting in Chicago freezing my booty off but fantasizing about Cabana boys, The Beach, bathing and lots of Margaritas!! very much wishful thinking!!! Can't wait to meet you all and truly have a Margarita and toast with you all!!! love you girls!!!
My son received a Christmas Tree full of cards from Providence Chrisrian Elementary, he said he loved the cards (brought a tear to his eyes) and would love to meet the kids when he comes home if possible. So if the cards came from someone in this group let me know who you are and where you are located. My son was a youth pastor and loved kids, so this was a perfect gift for him. Bless your heart and thank you from both of us!
