I really wish that I could find the inspiration to write a story that I can get published in the future.
That is one of things I would love to do before I die.
What about you? What do you want to do before you die?
I honestly just haven't felt like doing much blogging again. I think it stems from the fact that I haven't been doing much of anything really blog worthy. I feel like I am such a boring person.
I am currently doing some soul searching. Mainly trying to figure out what it is exactly I want out of life and what is I want to really gain from blogging.
I am hoping to get things figured out here shortly.
Well it is getting to be past my bedtime so I better log off for now.
Goodnight.
I can't believe that it is September already! It marks 2 months done on the ole deployment. WOOHOO!!! That only means 4 more months for me to kick deployments butt.
Can I do it?
I sure as heck hope so.
So why am I so happy on this friday? Because my two fabulous boys are going for a weekend visit to their grandparents house. WOOOHOOOO!!!
I will be hanging out with a friend all weekend. YAY!!!
I need some down time to help relax and rejuvenate myself so that I am not feeling so stressed out.
I have been really feeling it this last week, to the point I was almost having a mental breakdown. I decided that this weekend I am taking it off. I will not be doing any household chores except feeding the pets and cleaning the cats litter box. I won't be messing with laundry or cooking anything.
I am just going to relax, read, maybe do a little shopping, go see a movie, go out to eat, and just enjoy myself to the max.
I do wish the hubz was home to enjoy this wonderful weekend with me but hopefully we will get to have another long weekend sometime after he comes home.
Now I am going to go for now. I want to make sure the boys have all they need packed up and ready to go.

1.What is a weird/funny superstition that you have?
I don't think I have one.
2.What are your hopes and dreams for the years AFTER the military? After all, we aren’t in it forever!
We are going to retire down in FL and once the kids are out of the house Hubz and I hope to travel around the states.
3.Since [this] month is National Apple Month (no really!), I’d probably ask: What is your yummiest apple recipe?
I don't have one. I don't cook apples. I guess I am wierd.
4.How long have you gone as a military spouse without talking to your husband/wife during service?
I guess maybe 36 hours. When he is stateside he calls me everyday. But with his deployment he calls once a week but we email everyday unless comm is out.
5.I occasionally watch When I was 17… on MTV. So, what was something that was significant about your 17th year of life?
I opened up a Harley Davidson Repair shop with my dad.
I wanted to make a quick post before I call it a night. I am truly loving my life right now.
I had a great chat with Hubz tonight. It almost makes him being gone less painful.
My boys are going for a visit with Grandma this weekend and I am excited about my weekend plans. A friend and I are having a girls weekend. It is going to be sooooo much fun.
I promise to blog about it, but for now I am going to call it a night. It is a school night.

1.What secret indulgence do you act on while your spouse is away?
I usually treat myself to a little something nice when he leaves. Nothing too extravagant but something that makes me smile.

Thyme
3.Where do you go for support when your significant other is deployed?
My local friends and various forums I belong to.

The cast iron skillet, the ice pick and a fork; that I had growing up. The killet and ice pick were my dads.
5.How did you vision your future pre-military?
I wasn't sure if I was going to get married.
The boys had their first day of school today. I was a little apprehensive, I thought for sure S-boy would have a melt down. But he proved me wrong and I am so happy!!
His teacher and I are communicating via a notebook everyday so that if anything happens we are both aware of things.
B-boy had a great day as well.
I spent the day out running errands. It was so nice not having to worry about the boys. I am going to enjoy grocery shopping next week.
After school we had to high-tail it to Sanford for B-boy's OT session. Thankfully we arrived a few minutes before his appt time. I am praying that next weeks travel time isn't too bad.
I updated my goodreads account tonight, if you want to see what I have been reading, go check it out. ;)
Off to go read some more before we all call it a night. Tomorrow I have one errand to run and then I am coming back home to chillax.
Goodnight everyone!
Summer & School:
I can't believe the summer is almost over. My kids have two days till school starts. They are both excited and ready for the new year of learning.
Our Weekend:
I spent the weekend cleaning, preparing for B-boy's birthday party, and more cleaning. I did get a chance to read for a bit. So that was nice.
I also got to e-mail back and forth with the hubs. He got to call us twice, so that was nice as well. :) I was only expecting the one phone call, but I will gladly take two. :)
Workout:
I did my 2nd session of pilates today. I am looking forward to hitting the gym on Wednesday after I drop my boys off at their schools. I really want to stay focused and keep up with the exercising. That way when Hubz comes home sometime between Jan and Feb I will be looking and feeling awesome. I want to post about my workouts on a daily basis, so that I can keep myself accountable.
------------------------
Now the boys and I have errands to run today. We also have their open houses tonight at their school. I have one last load of laundry to fold so I better get that out.
Have a great day!!

I am sitting here trying to figure out what to do today. My boys are being good, giving each other "alone" time and playing quiet by themselves.
I have a little birthday party shopping to do at some point. I also have cleaning to do but that is going to wait till tomorrow so I don't have to do it all over again tomorrow.
This is our last weekend of summer before school starts. I would like to take them to do something fun but it is suppose to rain and I need to save what extra money we have so I can buy their school supplies.
I haven't bought any yet since I have no idea what their teachers are going to require. I won't find out who they have for a teacher until back to school night. So I am just waiting till the following day to do that shopping.
The boys are excited for school to start, and I am too. I have to be honest, entertaining them all throughout summer has been tough.
I think having them back in school will help the time pass by quicker, so that when it gets closer to hubby come home the time won't drag on too much. At least that is my hope.
Well I am off to figure out what to do for lunch since I didn't eat breakfast and I am starving.
Have a good Friday everyone.
I have another headache. :( I wish I knew why I am getting them so often. Hopefully I will find the culprit so I can nip it in the bud.
But for now I am cutting this entry short. I just want to go lay down for a while.

Have you ever done that? I totally forgot today was monday for a bit today. I don't know why but I did. It is a good thing we didn't have any appointments for today.
The boys and I have just been hanging out today. I've been reading and relaxing. Right now I have dinner in the oven, Soft Taco Bake. YUM!
I am starving!!! I have been wanting to snack but I am trying to be good.
The boys and I did head out for a bit. We went to Target, Books a Million, and a local grocery store.
Now I am just hanging out, waiting for dinner to be done. I am really looking forward to cuddling up with my book. I do have a couple movies to watch from Netflix but I am just not feeling a movie.
Well dinner is done, so I am going to hop back off the computer.
I have been battling weight issues for the LONGEST time. I have been somewhat overweight since I was a child. It is partly due to heridity but also mostly due to diet and limited exercise. My dad was overweight, couldn't exercise much due to a bad back, and he had diabetes.
So for the past 10 years I have been trying to lose weight. I would lose a little and then I would slump, make poor eating choices and gain that weight plus more back.
So with the husband deployed, I am trying to work on losing some weight, making healthier choices, and getting some good exericise in.
Today I weighed myself, I weighed in at 207lbs. I am 5'0 and my body aches due to the excess weight it has to carry around. I am so tired of not being motivated. I realized that in order to be motivated, I gotta make myself motivated.
So starting today I am really going to work hard and keeping the motivational fire burning. I will make better eating choices, stop when I feel the first feelings of being full. I will not over indulge too often. It is okay every once in a while but I need to keep that at a minimum.
I will drink more water. I will do my pilates and go to the gym on a regular, hopefully daily basis.
I am looking forward to being able to wear all the cute shirts I have in a bin that I can't wear right now due to them being too clingy. They show every bulge on my stomach and that makes me embarrassed.
The only way I can change, is if I make myself do it and push myself to keep it up.
So starting today I am going to succeed. I will be down to my goal weight of 150 by this time next year, hopefully sooner. I would like to be somewhat near it when the hubs comes in from deployment.
Well I better go drink some more water.
I can't believe B-boy is 6 yrs old! It seems like just yesterday he was born. So in honor of his birthday, I thought I would tell you all his birth story. I haven't shared that with you all here on the blog.
So let's rewind back 6 yrs to August 14, 2004. I was 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant. S-body was 2 1/2 yrs old and a handful is an understatement. I was scheduled for a c-section so I could get my tubes tied after B-boy was born. But on the 14th I got a phone call about my dad. He had been in a bad accident. He almost died, that news sent me in to a tizzy, so the hubby told me to lay down and go to sleep. I needed to calm down.
I woke up around 12:30 am on the 15th with contractions. We called the hospital and they told me to just come on in. So we woke S-boy up, called our neighbor and asked her to watch S-boy for us. Hubby called my parents, his parents to let them know we were heading to the hospital. We got there around 1: 45am. I laid in the bed, hooked up to the monitors for an hour before the doctor came to check me.
When they checked me I was already at -0- station. So they asked me if I wanted to go ahead and push or have them push him back in so they could do the c-section. I told them I would just go ahead and push.
They wheeled me to a delivery room, started prepping everything and before they could removed the bottom of the table, I had a HUGE contraction and out pops B-boy. He was about @ 0232am on 8-15-04.
He was 6lbs; 13 oz, 20 inches long. I had a 2nd degree tear. No drugs.
Happy Birthday to my B-boy!!
Love,
Mommy
So for the last few days I have been trying to come up with topics to write about and I have a few that I want to start working on. I am hoping I can at least get some general notes written out for each topic and then go from there.
In other news, I now have a facebook fan page for my lil ole blog.
Facebook
or
you can just go over the badge over there --> on that side.
Well I think I am going to go read for a bit before I start takin my list of topics.
I have a lot to do over the next few days. One of the things is a blog entry, hopefully I can get it typed up this evening at some point before I crash.
I am tired, I didn't go to bed till after midnight last night. I haven't stayed up that late in a long time. I ended up going through my closet and getting out all the stuff I don't currently wear. I am putting in all in storage till I get off my lazy bum and get back to weight loss. I am hoping that once the boys are back in school I will find my motivation so I can start feeling better.
Well I hope everyone has a great friday!

1.What is ONE thing you’d like civilians to understand about being a military family?
I am not entirely sure, because I don't really see much of a difference between civilian and military families. They both move at one point, maybe not as much as military families. They both have to go through separations from the spouse whether it be for work or just going away for a weekend.
2.What is your favorite mistake?
I don't have a favorite yet. Ask me again in a few years.
3.What indulgence could you give up for a year?
Not sure. That is hard!
4.If you could be a winged animal, what would you be?
An Owl, so I could see all around me.
5.What is one question you’d like to see asked in a future MFF?
????
Even though I was up at 3:30 this morning I had a pretty darn good day.
I did some cleaning this morning, worked on my bible study, folded some laundry, read a few blogs, played on fb, and that was pretty much it. We did go out for lunch, taco bell was calling my name.
Then S-boy had his monthly appt with the psychiatrist for his meds. Then we stopped by the grocery store for a few things to have for dinner. I was really wanting a ham sandwich.
So after we got what we needed we came home and I popped the boys dinner in the oven. They had pizza.
I played some more on FB and emailed back and forth with the hubby for a bit.
Then we got to chat.
So a pretty darn good day.
I woke up due to being hot. Now I am trying to cool off so I can hopefully catch a few more winks of sleep.

Today was a rather quiet day here at the ole homestead. I didn't get up till after 9 am, it was nice to get a little extra sleep since the dog woke me up at 645 to go outside.
The boys and I just hung out at home till it was time to head out for B-boy's OT and PT appointments. We ended up making a stop at wallyworld since we were early and I picked up a few things.
When we got to the OT&PT office, S-boy and I just hung out. He played my DS and listened to the portable cd player we have. I ended up reading a bit and then it was time to come home.
We came home and I made dinner. After dinner was cleaned up I decided to do a quick mow of the front yard. I got it mostly done but I will go back over it again when there is more daylight.
We all came inside and showered. Now I am just relaxing. I am thinking of going to lay in bed and read a bit. I am tired and tomorrow night I have a chat date with the hubs.
So I am off. Night all!
Yesterday Hubby asked me if I had started his car and I told him no. It was dark when I was talking to him so he mentioned that he would try and call back "tomorrow" (meaning today) when it was light out and he would walk me through it.
Well he called once but I wasn't at home so he said he would try again later.
He called again and he walked me through starting his car. It is a 6 speed and I do not know how to drive one. So he told me what to do and I got it to start. YAY!
He had me rev the engine and then get out of the car so he could hear the exhaust. LOL
But he was happy to hear his car and proud of me for getting it started. Now I just need to do it every couple of weeks so the battery doesn't die on the car before he returns home.
1. You're the mother of my children.When I read his response it melted my heart. :)
2. Your eyes.
3. You.
4. You take care of me.
5. You let me do things that I enjoy doing.

I didn't get anything I needed to do done today. UGH!
Then to top it off I had sort of mapped out an entry that I wanted to post in my head and now I can't remember what it is about.
Total FAIL moment.
I did make a pretty mean dinner tonight. I made our go to meal of "chicken penne alfredo". My boys absolutely LOVE this meal. They both had 2nds.
I have decided that today I am going to have a good day despite not getting a full nights sleep.
I would like to welcome all the "newbies" to my blog that are coming over from my mil wife one, this is the blog I created first and in all honesty having so many blogs was just way too much for me.
This morning I made some frozen frenchtoast sticks for the boys breakfast. They usually have cereal but I promised them a treat today so they got that for breakfast. :)
I have a short list of things I want to get accomplished today and I hope that I can at least get a few of them done and the others started so that I don't feel like I wasted the day.
Well I am off to find me something to eat for breakfast and then it is off to tackle my to do for a bit.
Have a good one!
Hey everyone, I have closed my other two blogs down, so I am importing entries from there to here so I don't lose them. So pardon the mess. :)
I honestly didn't really do much. I did learn a bit more about the female reproductive system. The boys and I went in to town after I did laundry. I picked up a new bible, this one is for "busy moms" so it is a bit easier to read. I am planning on starting the "Faith Deployed: Bible Study" on Monday. It lasts 6 weeks and then I think I am going to the "God Strong" one as well.
I really want to strengthen my relationship with God.
The boys and I made homemade milkshakes for a snack earlier. I am wanting another one. LOL But first I need to make dinner so I think I will do that.
First off I want to thank Nicole over @ Marine Wife Unplugged for the :
Today I was basically having a pity party for myself. I thought the main reason was because I was missing the hubby like crazy and I hadn't heard from him in over 36 hours. But then he emailed me and informed that comm had been down for over 36 hours.
I was relieved to hear that he was okay, my brain was playing horrible tricks on me. I hate when I let it do that to me.
But then even after I heard he was okay, I still didn't feel like myself. I am so upset with myself for not seeing the true reason of my pity party.
I am tired of being the "fat girl in the fat body" and doing nothing about it. I keep thinking that I found the monopoly of my motivation to have it come crashing right down on my head.
I am so sick of it!!
I need a fresh start, I need to let go of preconcieved thoughts and limitations that I put on myself. If I want to get down to the weight I feel is a good one for me then I need to get over the sabotoging myself.
I need to stop myself before I do it. I need to recognize the signs so I can stop it.
/pity party
I am honestly not really too heartbroken about not going to the conference. I don't really care about the swag or anything (not saying anyone does).
What I think is the best part is the face to face meeting of fellow bloggers.There are a ton of bloggers that I would love to meet but I am highly doubtful that will ever happen.
I don't talk much in real life, so I would more than likely feel way out of place at a conference of this magnitude. I am quiet by nature and I just don't fit in to large crowds of people. I prefer smaller groups, the chance to get to know each one a little easier.
I would love to hear about others experiences on attending these conferences.
My excuse reason is that with my husband being in the military, he could go away at a moments notice. I don't really trust anyone with my kids because of the crazy crap that has happened around me.
I do realize that this conference is a great opportunity for a lot of people, I am just not that in to it I guess. Maybe I am just not "there" yet in my blogging.
I hope that those that went had a great time.

If you wish to see my answers for 1-6, go here.
I decided to join in on this, so I am doing the first 6 fill-ins here and then the rest of the fill-in's will be done on their weekly basis.
I was reading a blog this morning and in it was a link to another blog about a young woman who was recently diagnosed with lymphoma.
Don't Waste Your Cancer
While reading her blog from the beginning, it broke my heart for her family, especially her little girl who is just 6 months old.
This woman and her husband have such a strong faith in God, they aren't angry at God for putting this in their path. They are striving to learn from this and they are learning.
I don't think I could be as strong as Libby. I am hoping that will change. Libby's faith in God is inspiring.
I hope you will join me in praying for her and her family as they go through this experience and they grow through prayer as well as learning with God.
Libby, you are God Strong!
I do not know this family, but I feel like I am starting to get to know them.
It makes you re-think the little things and just push them aside because there are bigger issues. I am grateful to God for my life, I am grateful for my family, I am grateful for my husband who is off in another country where there is war going on, I am grateful for everyday that I wake up to see my precious boys.
God is Good.
God will make me God Strong too.

Books I read: I started a couple but haven't really dove in to them. :(
Did you talk to your SO?: Yes, a few times. :D
The best part of the week?: Getting to chat with the hubby. :)
I woke up not really feeling all that great and I don't know why.
I read some blogs, e-mailed with the hubby, made meals for the boys. I watched the season premiere of the Rachel Zoe project.
I started watching Wife Swap as well.
I haven't done much as you cal tell.
I am ready for school to start so the boys and I can get in to a routine again. It is so hard to be in a routine when they are home since they are so use to school. Right now though I watching Kate + 8.
So I am hanging out, it is almost bed time.

Some of you know my passion for reading. I am always reading. I just love to read and would read 24 hours a day if I didn't need sleep or to do other things around the house.
Anyways I recently re-joined doubledaybookclub so I get emails about the books that are coming out in the upcoming months. I am so happy that a new Kathy Reichs books is coming out called Spider Bones. Also a new Nicholas Sparks book called Safe Haven.
Right now I am waiting on the newest Janet Evanovich book. I have it ordered and hopefully will have it by the end of the week.

I swear I am always playing this game of catch up... I am always catching up on things whether it is your blogs, facebook, twitter, laundry, dishes, and the list could go on.
So I am asking you all, how do you do it? I mean seriously?
With my husband gone I have one less distraction but at the same time I have less hands to help around the house.
This past week I was having a rough time of it. I was basically not doing much of anything other than e-mailing back and forth with the hubby.
It has ben 4 weeks since he left and I am still missing him like crazy. I am trying to stay busy but it is hard even with the boys because I can only do so much of what I like before they start to rebel.
So anyways, back to my question....
> I didn't realize that the post before this was # 200. Go me!
So in honor of my first 200 post, I wanted to give you all the opportunity to ask me questions.
What is it that you want to know about me?
Reply to this post and I will make a specific post to answer your question. :) Be sure to leave me a link to your blog so I can give you some link love as well. :)

There I said it... I.am.not.perfect.
Though I try to be but I am not perfect it all. I want to be perfect but no human alive today is perfect.
I try to portray someone who has it together all the time and you know what.. I don't have it together all the time.
This is hard for me to admit.
I want to live a "perfect" little life but I have come to the realization that nothing is ever perfect. It can be close, but it will never been extremely perfect.
I put too much pressure on myself to complete every to do list, to do every single thing on that every growing list. I beat myself up everytime I don't get everythin done.
The cycle has to stop now.
It.has.to.stop.now.
I need to get back to embracing the simple things. I need to enjoy the little things. I need to relax, take a breath, and live in the moment. I need to stop planning every single second of my day...
I am going to try and do things a little okay a lot different. I need to fly by the seat of my pants more because I can't control everything. Though I may want to since in reality I don't control much being a military wife, but I need to do this for my sanity so I don't go crazy and need to be put in a straight jacket in the looney bin with daffy duck.
So from now on, I am going to strive for living in the now, living in this moment right here.
So I bid you all goodnight. I am going to sleep and hopefully I can work on my not being in control of everything.

I just haven't really felt like blogging much this week. I am not entirely sure why, but I will not be blogging for a few more days. So be on the lookout for a new entry by next weekend.. I hope. :)

Week: 3
My Location: @ Home
Things I accomplished: got hubby's 1st care package mailed out
Things I am looking forward to this week: Pay day
Books I read: Thursdays at Eight by Debbie Macomber, Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen
TV/Movies I watched: The Closer, Army Wives, Rizzoli & Isles, Private Practice
Mindless time wasters: Facebooks games (Frontierville, Social City,Farmville, Cafe Life )
Did you talk to your SO?: Yes, I got to talk to him a couple times.
The best part of the week?: Hearing my hubby's voice.
Who I hung out with this week: my boys
I started writing a story tonight about a military wife. I am not that far in to the story yet but I hope that I can stick with this story idea.
I would really like to pursue this dream of mine, hopefully over the next 5 1/2 months that Mr. Ambitious is gone I can work on the story a little each day.
That is my hope and plan.
I know it is going to take hard work and determination to get it done. But I will be working hard to get this dream to come true.
---------------------> Make sure you go visit my other blog My mil wife blog
I finally got his carepackage mailed off today. I had to run to the store after s-boy's orthodontist appt this morning to pick up the last couple Mr. Ambitious asked for which included pudding, dryer sheets, and tooth brushes. LOL
It was rather expensive because I had to use a HUGE box and cut it down somewhat so that I could fit the curtain rod he had previously requested in to the box.
Mr. Ambitious is doing well, busy and working hard. It is helping the time pass by a little faster for him and I am grateful for that as he needs to stay busy so he doesn't really think about the fact that he still has 5 months to go.
We are at week 3 now, so only one more 1 and he has been gone a month.
Well I think I am going to go hang out with my babies before I start on dinner.
I think I really need a cook and a maid so that I don't have to that anymore. LOL
I don't really enjoy cooking when its just for me and the boys. They don't really care about food that much. They would live off of chicken nuggets, french fries, milkshakes, and dr pepper if I would let them. Oh how easy it would be to just to that but I won't as we all need to eat a little healthier.
Okay off to go hug my babies. I am in need of a hug.

I decided to open my weightloss blog to the public so it can help keep me motivated. Here is the link if you wish to follow it.
Ambitious Gurl's Weight Loss Journey.
---------------------> Make sure you go visit my other blog My mil wife blog
Mr. Ambitious has been gone for about 2 weeks now and I am finally ready to begin my project.
Today I weighed myself and ate a healthy breakfast of cantelope. I did some crunches and I walked a mile in my living room. I am drinking water and I hope that I can keep my motivational fire burning. I really want to get these extra pounds off my body so that I can feel healthy and look better.
Starting today, I will be posting a weekly update in regards to my project me.
Now I need to figure out lunch for myself and the boys before we go meet a friend for some fun at Sonic.
I have read a few blog post about "me" time. What is "me" time you ask?
It's time spent just doing something for you.
I need my "me" time. If I don't get it then I am cranky. I hate that about myself because I absolutely love & adore my family. But in order to keep my peace of mind, I have to do something for myself. I need just a little time for myself each day.
In order to get that time every day I usually get it(if the hubby is gone and the boys are home) after the boys are in bed. I will sit in my bed and read for an hour or two.
When the hubby is home, I just leave the house for a couple hours. He is awesome and doesn't mind when I need to get away for a couple hours. We just started incorporating "him" time as well since he really wasn't doing much for him. He needs it just as much as I do. I plan on re-instating it when he comes home.
When the boys are gone to my moms for their monthly over night visit and the hubby isn't home I generally go out for a little while and then come home. I end up leaving the house several times. LOL
My mom will be getting the boys very soon and I am actually going to hang out with my friend MT. I just met her and she is an army wife. We have a lot in common so that is really cool.
Last nights "me" time was actually spent doing school work. I was learning about the urinary system. I learned there are several different medical terms for peeing. yeah.... LOL
With Mr. Ambitious deployed, I am having to play daddy along with my normal mommy role and boy is that hard! So today I had to be the "man" of the house and mow the yard.
This is a job I absolutely abhore! But it has to be done. I had put it off long enough. I got it done and I am proud of myself.
Once that was done and we were inside the bottom fell out of the sky. So I am glad that I got it done when I did. Now I just need to get in to a regular routine so that it doesn't get as bad as it was before I mowed it today. We have a few areas where the grass grows so thick that it chokes the mower.
Now to finish up my evening with a little bit of relaxing as tomorrow I am starting my weight loss regimen/routine. I feel motivated but lets hope I can keep it up.
I'm getting Mr. Ambitious's first care package ready to mail out. I still need to go pick up some little extras that he didn't ask for because the box is HUGE since I am having to mail him a curtain rod. LOL
Anyways, not a lot really happening around here just taking each day at a time. I am so thankful that I have my boys to help occupy my time otherwise I would probably be insane by now.
I am definitely looking forward to my little break next weekend though. It will be nice to be able to hang out with a friend and go see a movie without the boys tagging along. But that is the part of life I have to deal with since my hubby is deployed.
Oh well.
I have also been spending my time working on a forum for Fort Bragg Military Wives.... If you are in the area, please come check it out and join. :) Fort Bragg Military Wives Forum
Well off to finish up my breakfast as I have a LONG to do list to accomplish today.
I am just laying in bed and thinking about the Hubby. I am missing him a lot. Anyways tonight I got to watch the season premiere of one of my favorite shows; The Closer. I absolutley love the show!!!
After the premiere of that show can on a new show based on the charcters from murder series I like to read. Rizzoli & Isles is based on books written by Tess Gerritsen. I loved the first episode, I am looking forward to see how the season plays out.
Now I think I am going to curl up in my nice comfy bed and read some Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen.

Things I am looking forward to this week: my tv shows starting back up

The best part of the week?: Hearing my hubby's voice.
My youngest woke up about an hour ago and came crying out of his room. I asked him what was wrong and he said.... " I miss my daddy".. it took all my strength not to cry. But I didn't. I just hugged him, told him it was okay to miss his daddy. That is daddy missed him just as much. I gave him a big hug from daddy and he seemed fine after that... it just breaks my heart because he doesn't really understand the whole time frame thing.
Read more...I am so bored right now.
I got to talk to hubby. :)
He tried to get on the internet over "there" but unfortunately he wasn't able to connect so he was rather upset. :(
All he wanted to do was check his email, to see if I replied to the email he had sent.
I feel so bad for him.
I am trying my best to keep his morale up as best as I can with letting him know that things are fine here at home. I hate the though of him worrying about home. I know that he does but I try my best to keep it at a minimum.
Now I am sitting on my bed and waiting for Army Wives to come on. I love the show and wish I had that kind of friendship with people. I have a few friends but I just miss having really close friends.
Hi everyone!
I hope all is well, I woke up with a back ache this morning. I think I pulled a muscle in my sleep. I've been resting on the couch all day and I took a pain pill and feeling a bit better thankfully. I hate when I hurt my back. I know a part of it is my being overweight though. My poor ole 5'0 frame just can't hold all this extra weight.
So starting on Monday I am going to be following weight watchers. I really want to concentrate on getting these 55 extra pounds off while hubby is gone.
I have 180days or so to get it off. I am going to try doing yoga and get back in to pilates. Then when the boys are back in to school I will be hitting the gym on base unless I can find a cheap enough gym in my area before then that offers daycare. I've heard of a couple but I need to find out more info.
The reason I go on base is because it is free but I don't really care for daycare on base or anything.
Anyways, I am off to finish my late lunch.
