I have a friend whose 4 year old little boy is in the hospital due to complications of H1N1. He has a chest tube and is on a ventilator. My heart breaks for her. She has endured so much this year. Her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and now K is in the hospital herself with pneumonia. Her husband was killed in Iraq by an IED before E was born. She has endured so much. I just want to go and hug her and let her know that she isn't alone. God is in control of this, and I have faith that he will heal all 3 of them. He has already touched her mom's body by removing all of the masses and tumors from her body. He can certainly reach down and heal K and E.
We pretty much have my parent's house packed. I do have to pack up the room that I have been staying in. We have to move every thing into the garage. They are coming to clean the carpets on Friday at 1030, and then I will probably spend the rest of Friday at my house getting things done over there. I'm hoping that we will get that place packed and moved this weekend. I'm ready to be done. I hate moving, and I hate the fact that I'm going to have to do this again in March.
The kids are all fine. KG was standing at the computer today hollering Daddy at it. I guess she thought that would make him appear. She did finally get to see him. He called on Skype just so the girls could see him. The boys don't get to see him very often. There schedules are just totally opposite of his. He upset me a little today with something he did. I don't think he even realizes what he did, but if he would think about it, I think he could figure it out. Needless to say, my feelings were hurt.
I'm getting ready to go to bed. I took one of my depression meds because I could feel that creeping up on me. It knocks me out, and I'm pretty tired. I'm hoping to get lots done tomorrow. Maybe just maybe, we will actually be done with the move soon.

Don't Do It....
Don't go and see Men Who Stare at Goats. It was horrible. It wasn't funny. It portrayed American's and the US military as stupid blood thirsty people. I got up and left the movie early because I was disgusted with the whole thing. I should have asked for my money back.
The girls had a great time at Mrs. H's today. BG cried when I dropped her off, but when I picked her up today, she was laughing. I could hear her playing and jabbering to the other kids. The boys are doing okay. Still struggling with spelling. This is the last week of football for KB. Then we are free until January of sports. I'm looking forward to the break.
I found out today when my surgery will be. Looks like it is going to be a fun Christmas. I have a pre-op appointment on the 15th of December, and then the surgery is going to be December 17. It is supposed to be an in and out, and I will be home on the same day. That is a busy weekend for me though, and I'm hoping that I can pull every thing together that I need to. I have lots going on that weekend.

Not a very interesting day,
so I don't have much to say. We got up and went to Sunday School and church this morning. Then came home for a few hours and went to church this evening. Nothing of excitement happened. It was my regular Sunday. I'm not a fan of Sunday's right now except for the fact that they mean that we have finished another week.
Tomorrow is my Seabee Wife Day Out. No idea what I'm going to do. I'm thinking about going to see Men Who Stare at Goats, but I'm not sure yet. I will make a decision tomorrow I guess.
We did find out today that KB's team is doing the tournament instead of the playoffs, so that means that next weekend should be full of football. UGH! Next weekend is moving weekend. I'm just going to have to give everybody marching orders of what needs to go and what needs to go to storage. KB's first football game is at noon, so he will have to be there at 11. That means we have to leave at 1015. They are seated number 1.
Hubster, I love you. I miss you. I really do wish I could book an airline ticket to come and see you.

Saturday...What a fun day.
Really not much happened. KB had a football game. They lost 36 to 0, but the good thing was that the team scored all of their points in the first half. They looked like a totally different team during the second half. The girls had a ball playing while he was playing football. TB cracks us up because he is a mother hen watching over the girls. He can't hardly stand it.
The boys had a good time last night at the lock in at church. They had about 4 hours of sleep, so they are exhausted. As a matter of fact, it is 945 PM here, and all of my kids are asleep. I am fixing to head to bed myself. I am sleepy. Tomorrow is church day, and I'm hoping to make it to Sunday school and church. We are also hoping that we can start moving tomorrow too. I would like to at least get all of my beds over to the new house. I'm looking forward to the move. I think I'm going to enjoy having the entire upstairs to my family. I also plan on having the kids in bed by 830 for the girls and 9 for the boys. My parents told me that if I could get at least the girls in bed, that they would watch the kids while I ran to the gym. I really want to work out. I think I would feel a 100 times better. Hubster said that his 34 pants are starting to get too big for him. He had only lost 2 pounds, but he said that he is noticing a difference in his waist.
Hubster was also telling me that a local offered him 20 sheep and one of his sons as a trade for one of our girls. The local doesn't have any girls, and he was wanting a daughter. I find it humorous. All you ever hear about is the bad things going on. He seems to be enjoying his experience as much as you can when you are away from home. He has gotten to experience things that few Americans will ever get the chance or honor to experience.
I miss Hubster, and I dread tomorrow. I know that tomorrow is my hard day of the week. I'm just praying that it will fly by, since I am going to be so busy.

It is Still Friday,,,
I got home about 20 minutes ago from a GNO. We went and saw The Fourth Kind. It wasn't scary, but there were parts that it would make you jump. The movie had real live footage of things that can't be "explained". I thought it was a little way out there, and that the woman that was the psychiatrist was nuttier than a fruitcake. The movie was just strange. When Hubster gets home, we will have to go on a date to Studio Movie Grill. That was fun. I enjoyed that. The wives I went with are also a tad nuts, but they were a riot.
The boys are at church tonight for a lock in, and the girls went with Grandma and Grandpa to see Uncle G and Aunt Margie. Mom said the girls were wonderful and so well behaved. That was nice. I got home, and they were asleep. Which is where I am fixing to head.
Other than that, not much going on around here. We have a full day tomorrow. Hopefully I will get a chance to talk or chat with Hubster tomorrow.

Waiting, Waiting, and Waiting some More.
I had a doctor's appointment today, and now I am waiting for them to call me back with the surgery date. I am hoping it is sooner rather than later.
Yesterday was a fun day. I took the girls to the zoo with another Seabee wife and her little boy. KG loved the monkeys. We spent an hour watching the monkeys. She loved them. The day was beautiful, and it wasn't crowded. KG told me she wanted to ride the carousel, but as soon as I paid for it and put her on the horse she cried. That was a waste of money. We did ride the train that is in the zoo. I think I am going to buy a season pass with the next paycheck. It was a lot of fun, and I wouldn't mind taking the girls every week just to get us out of the house.
KB hurt his elbow because another little kid pushed him into the wall. The other kid was suspended. It was one of his "friends". The kid is a brat.
What happened in Ft. Hood yesterday, made my stomach turn. It makes me sick. Lot of prayers going out to the men and women at Ft. Hood.

Post in the Middle of the Day
But I need it. Today has just been. It hasn't been bad. It hasn't been good. It has just been. How else do you describe it? I'm on the verge of tears. I just want to be moved, and it seems that every thing that I do isn't good enough.
I'm down on myself because I had gained a pound. I am down on myself because I feel like I'm a terrible mom. The boys are struggling in school. The girls are into everything. I can't get any thing done that I need to. I have been trying to pack, and the girls are emptying the boxes as fast as i am putting things in them. The stress of this move is going to do me in.
Hubster is staying at his location. I am very happy about that. The only thing is that they don't have a post office or PX. I know this sounds weird, but when I hear other wives talking about getting letters and cards and things sent to them, it makes me sad. I know that I won't get any thing like that. I will never receive an envelope with the word free in the place of the stamp. It isn't his fault, and I will never ever blame him for it. It is just one of those irrational things that I have no control over that makes me sad. I enjoyed getting things from him during the last deployment. He would send me letters in blue envelopes. You have no idea how wonderful those letters are to receive. It was always fun going to the mailbox every day hoping to see a blue envelope or a box at the front door waiting for me. I should be happy that I get to chat online with him almost every single day. I should be happy that I get to see him via Skype once or twice a week. I just need to have myself a very short pity party, and then get over it.
Hubster, I know you read this, and please understand that this has nothing what so ever to do with you. It is the situation. You are absolutely amazing, and I wouldn't trade the world for you. Now, you know you can still send me letters via email. That is always a nice surprise to get. I love your emails. Hugs and kisses, and I miss you bunches.
