Ok, so my mom has asked me in the past to be discerning about what I wrote on here about her. So I will keep this brief, but still write something cause it's important to me.
My mom is in the hospital again. Most of you know that she has cancer and has been fighting it for 4 years, which is a tremndous amount of time to be living with cancer. Seems like usually by now it has gone one way or the other. Well, she has been getting progressively worse in her functioning and drive these last few months. Honey says that he hopes it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that we had to leave. I hope not. But to put it short, she has had a tough time getting around for a while now (months actually) and doing even the basic day to day things. They are restaging the cancer this week and trying to figure out why she's been getting so sick. Anyhow. She could use the prayers, that's all.

a face lift
I think I am going to change my layout. The orange and beige is starting to make me feel nauseated. Soon...
I'm a dork...
I just went into the kitchen to get IkeIke some more milk and all the lights were off. I turned on the light in the dining room before walking into the half lit kitchen and was looking up at the ceiling doing my typical hello-I'm-looking-for-you-nasty-buggers scope of the room and I wasn't watching where I was stepping. I stepped right onto a little tinker toy and nearly jumped out of my skin, thinking I had stepped on a bug...

It gets hard coming from a place where you can find pretty much anything you need within a 3-5 mile radius to a place where you have to go 25 miles to maaaaybe find what you need.
Anyhow....
Sammy has had runny diapers for 3 days now. His little bum is all red and swollen and he is so sad about it. I went to locate some Dr. Smiths since that's the miracle cure for diaper rash and of course they don't have any around here. Had to settle for some A&D and Desitin and hope one of them works as well. The Boudreaux's Butt Paste just wasn't cutting it.
Anyways...dirty diapers is pretty much the extent of my excitement this week. Honey is supposed to finish his MedEvac course this week and then they wanna rush him right into his Primary Flight course. His class group isn't supposed to start for a while but for some reason they seem to wanna rush him through it. I don't think he knows if he wants to start it yet. In some ways I know he would like to get it over but at the same time, I think he'd like to be able to breathe a little. At least it's a holiday weekend coming up. We've though about going to the beach but I'm not sure I wanna fight the crowds.
Oh well....
Someone please tell the giant roaches that I am not interested in cohabitating...

| What Your Pizza Reveals |
 Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. You consider pizza to be bread... very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US. You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods. You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices. You are definitely unique and artistically inclined. You should consider traveling to Prague. The stereotype that best fits you is geek. You're the type most likely to order pizza to avoid leaving your computer. |

A post...because I'm in the mood...
I just wanted to share. I am grateful that I am married to a man who is righteous and close to God. Who prays to him regularly and thereby encourages me to do the same. I am grateful that I know Jesus Christ and that he can forgive me when I do wrong. I know that God loves me, and is my Heavenly Father, and I am glad that I get to share the peace that brings with my sweet little children, who will grow to be valiant men like their daddy. I love the simple things like Family Prayer every night before we tuck our little ones into bed, and Family Home Evening where we can share gospel principles with our children, so that they will have a source of strength in their own hard times. I am glad that I have such spiritual children, that David is the first to volunteer to pray and that Isaac follows that lead and has to have his turn too.
The church has been an anchor in my life when things have gotten out of control; a source that never changes. I am blessed. That is all.

Rollin'...
Tiny Man rolled over last night! Me and daddy were on the floor with him while the bigger boys were getting ready for bed and he pushed himself right onto his back. It startled him so much that he burst out into this high pitched scream and started crying!!! :) He scared himself...but he did it about 2 more times after that and was better. :)

HP...
Okay, so we just hired a very brave girl to come babysit our 3 munchkins so we could go see HP5 at the movies again, since it was playing here on post tonight. I loved it even more the second time. It makes such a difference knowing the outcome of the entire series. Since Nathan left the weekend the book came out we have been reading it together every night before bed and now I am getting anxious for him to know the end so we can talk about it!! Sigh...
And yesterday when I was putting up the unappreciated slipnslide, I stepped in a hole and rolled my ankle. Smooth. I actually heard it snap. I threw myself on the ground and started moaning and Isaac came over and said, "Let me see, Let me see." So I showed him my ankle and he said, "Ohhhh, Ouchy." And touched it gently. :) It actually helped for a while but now it's real swollen and painful. Pain shoots up my leg sometimes. Not fun. So Nathan got me an ankle brace to wear. Stylin'!
We went out to chinese for lunch today. Man, we came from the land of milk and honey as far as restaurants go to ...well, not the land of milk and honey. Most of the restaurants (all but one really) I have been in have been dirty and the food today was quite dissappointing. When you eat at a buffet, you want the food to be hot and it felt, well far from it. I was just praying that we didn't get sick from it. :) I know I'm picky....

Help. No, seriously, help!
I wanna see everyone comment back on this one cause I am in need of serious advice! My Big Dude has been having trouble doing what mommy asks. And daddy too, for that matter. And then some. It started about the same time as school so I have all kinds of theories about it just being the transisition to kindergarten and so many new rues and a blossoming sense of independence but I need some advice on what to do about it! I'll use today as an example. He came home from school and relaxed a little and then wanted to go out and swim with the neighbor kids in their pool. I said no because if he did, Isaac would want to and I thought it might be too deep. So I compromised and we set up the little inflatable pool and the slip n slide. I came inside and not 2 minutes later, big dude had turned off the water and gone and gotten in the neighbor pool and so had Isaac. I usually would have gone to get him out cause I had said no (guess I should have) but I decided to be nice and since Isaac could touch the bottom, I just let them play...for about 45 minutes. Then I said it was time to go. David was on the trampoline so I helped him down and told him it was time to go and he ran and jumped into the pool again. I told him again, "let's go, now!" He got the hose out of the bottom of the pool and proceeded to spray me head to toe with it! All the other kids got quiet. You coulda heard a pin drop. I think even all the overhead helicopters got quiet for that one. I calmly took the hose away and marched him home. We then gave him a talking to about coming when mommy says and not spraying mommy with the hose etc. After dinner, the boys all went out to water the flowers. Daddy came in for a second and when he went back out big dude was in the process of ...I can't bring myself to say it.....ugh...pooping on the sidewalk! What the.....!!!!?!?!??!
So there it is...you tell me.
So there it is...you tell me.
Post Day
I'm just gonna post all day!
I came home from getting my hair done last night and Isaac wasn't in the portacrib (He has been wanting to sleep in there in the office all this last week) in the office where I left him but was in bed with his daddy. So I came in and got on the computer and then I heard that tell tale clickety clickety clickety of 6 little legs walking on paper. So I slowly turned around (like in a horror flick) and looked up and there was a great big cucaracha on the filing cabinet above the portacrib. I jumped up and ran out and grabbed the spray and a shoe. When I came back it was still there but fluttered down (yes, they fly) into the portacrib. I was so glad Isaac wasn't in there. I wondered if he had heard it or seen it and that's why he got upset and daddy came to get him. I killed the bugger and flushed him (didn't stand a chance) and went in and told Nathan. He said that Isaac had been really upset and screaming to get out of there. So this morning I asked Isaac if he saw a bug in the office last night? He said, "Yeah, a big roach. In there." And pointed to the corner of the portacrib. Poor guy.
Wonder if he'll sleep in his own bed now?

pokey
I asked Ike Ike what we should name Sammy's "pet" and he came up with Pokey! Smart little stinker!
Cable...
So we have this fancy cable with all these great channels and what do I do?? I listen to the Music Choice channel all day. You know...the one that just plays music all day... I love it! Especially since there is really only one decent radio station around here. I suppose I could listen to 101 The Weevil....no thanks.
(I'm not kidding.)
Have I told you about the weevil monument downtown Enterprise? I think I did. I will add a picture of it.
Anyhow, Tori colored my hair last night! I love it! Really dark brownish red. Almost a blacker red. I love it. Did I mention I love it?
So I am going over to David's school this morning to help Ms. ODonnell with some workbook pages. It's nice to have Nathan around in the AM for that this week. David is loving school and yesterday he got to be the Star Student!!
Also...it's fundraiser time. So if you get something in the mail from us about schoolmall.com, please don't be offended and know that there is no obligation!!! He just had to have the booklet filled in to get a prize so we did that last night.
Much love!

Finally...
The tiny man is in the swing and the little middle is watching (gag) Spongebob. So mommy has a few seconds to herself midst the laundry and vacuuming...
First off I have to say how incredibly blessed I have been with having such good friends so quickly. Thursday night I was beat and stressed and tired, etc etc. I was supposed to go walking with my 3 friends but they decided instead to go to dinner but I was beat and just couldn't do it. The kids were making me nuts, etc. So they took David and Isaac to PoFolks with them and I stayed here and put Sammy right to bed and actually had a few hours to myself. It was so nice! I really needed it and they were so sweet about it and even bought them BlowPops. :) They really are the greatest. I really appreciated it. Even though 2 of them don't even have kids they don't seem to mind my 3 munchkins. They really are awesome. I am very lucky. I know that if I hadn't met Tori, I would probably be hating it here!
So, anyhow, we spent the weekend getting ready for our hubbies' homecoming and the party we were gonna throw for them on Monday night. Sunday morning we went over to their barracks to get them. They had a little graduation ceremony for them and then we got to bring Daddy home. He seriously looked so beat! A few less pounds, a few more gray hairs, and very pale and tired looking. His body is covered in chigger bites which I know is making him crazy. I can't go into too many details on here other than they really put them through it. If you Google what it was he was doing, you can read more about it. (I'm not supposed to tell you, just try to remember if I've mentioned it before or email me and I will tell you.) I was told to take off all posts referring to it.
Sunday we just relaxed and Monday night we had our party, which was quite successful. We went and bought a new grill...yippee!
Then tuesday, I felt the repurcussions from Monday night and was sick all day with some sort of food poisoning. Yippee.
Anyhow. It has been nice to have Honey home and he has only had to go to the Unit to check in for a few minutes everyday because they have been put on light duty for a while to recover from their ordeal. Apparetnyl they all bawled like babies (According to one wife's retelling from her hubby). I know it was tough on him and I am so proud of him. This is one of those things that you mention to other soldiers around here and they all go, "ooooooo". If you wanna know more, let me know and I will email you with what it was called and you can look it up. Or, you can go here...(even better)...

Okay, I won't keep that link up here for long though, so go soon, if you wanna know more.
Well, I'm waiting for the Exterminator dude to come since the Giant Roaches have invaded the kitchen...it was only a matter of time. (Shudder).
Ugh.

Deep breaths...
Ok...so it's been one of those days. Really. I am beat. Mom left this morning. David went off to school. I stayed home with the 2 little ones and cleaned bathrooms and did laundry and the kitchen...all of which will probably need a redo before Honey comes home Sunday. Once David was home, I was beat. Seriously. The kids were crabby and so was I. Anyways, I know I am just tired. Sam and Isaac have both been getting up in the middle of the night. And I enjoy my quiet time so much and can't sleep well without Honey, so I rarely get to bed before 11...or later.
And as I was remaking the bed with clean sheets tonight, a BIG HUgNORMOUS plametto, aka my nemesis with 6 legs, crawled up the wall right above my pillow. How lovely. That's 3 I have seen this week in the house...one a day since tuesday. And dumby me forgot to call to have pest control come today. Ugh. Nasty. I smashed it to bits ofcourse. Muttering profanities in my adrenaline rushed state. There's an odd sort of afterglow that comes after having killed something...I mean a bug ofcourse. Especially one that size. Shivers.
He had to be 3 inches long.....more shivers.
So David told me that today in PE they learned the Chicken Dance. Heehee. And in music they learned God Bless America. All night he was singing, "From the mountains, to the valleys, to the fairies..." :) I said "do you mean prairies?"
"No, mom, fairies"
"Are you sure it's not prairies?"
"No. Fairies."
"Okay, I think it might be prairies."
"Oh...yeah. Prayrees"
What a cutie. I am glad he is liking school so much.

Busy busy busy!!
Today started...well last night really. We had Family Home Evening and talked about going back to school and reading some stories and going over some of the rules and papers with David that we were supposed to. Then we sent them off to bed and fifteen minutes later Isaac decided it really wasn't bedtime yet and did not go to sleep till 11:00!!!! And I had to put him in the portacrib cause he wouldn't stay in his bed. Ugh...
Then David was so excited that he was up at 6:00 this morning ready to go! So I made him a big breakfast and finished packing his lunch. We took lots of pictures and then walked him to his school bus. He was so excited he almost forgot to give me a kiss!!!! I mean he's only 5...he must still kiss his mommy in public! :)
After that, I was glad that Stephenie Meyer was coming on GMA cause I needed a distraction. I was so nervous for him but so excited for him too. The open house monday night was good and we were able to show him around the school and his classroom and meet his teacher and drop off his supplies. His teacher is very sweet and very young! I think she will be great though. Anyways...then I ran off to Dothan to buy the book Eclipse which just came out today (authored by Stephenie Meyer). We came home and waited for David's bus which was like 40 minutes late! I guess it's hard when you have so many little ones and want to make sure they all get off at the right place. David was dripping sweat cause it was 100 degrees plus today and the bus had no A/C.....hello!!?!
Anyhow...he seemed very happy but all he wanted to do was sit on the couch with his feet up and veg. Isaac was very sad that he didn't get to ride the bus with David this morning. He cried and cried!!
So, David said he had a fun day and brough home some cute artwork. I am gonna have to get a big box to put all that in! Then he and Isaac went outside to play and Isaac got pelted in the head by some little boy's toy plane and Tori brought him back in the house, crying with blood dripping down out of his head. It was a pretty nasty puncture wound to the head! Poor guy...bled for a while.
They were both so beat...David from his busy day and Isaac from no sleep last night that they both went to bed easy tonight. Which was good cause I have a cake due for a friend tomorrow!!
If I think of more about our fun, exciting day, I'll post it later! I have Royal Icing flowers to make!!

Anyhow...he seemed very happy but all he wanted to do was sit on the couch with his feet up and veg. Isaac was very sad that he didn't get to ride the bus with David this morning. He cried and cried!!
So, David said he had a fun day and brough home some cute artwork. I am gonna have to get a big box to put all that in! Then he and Isaac went outside to play and Isaac got pelted in the head by some little boy's toy plane and Tori brought him back in the house, crying with blood dripping down out of his head. It was a pretty nasty puncture wound to the head! Poor guy...bled for a while.
They were both so beat...David from his busy day and Isaac from no sleep last night that they both went to bed easy tonight. Which was good cause I have a cake due for a friend tomorrow!!
If I think of more about our fun, exciting day, I'll post it later! I have Royal Icing flowers to make!!

I Love You, Forest...
Well, tomorrow is the start of a very busy week. We have an open house at David's school tomorrow and will meet his teacher and take his supplies. Then he catches the bus at 7:45 tuesday morning and has school until 3:00. That is such a long day for a 5 year old!! I really wish it wasn't so long! That is gonna be hard on him I think. He really wants to ride the bus but I am just so nervous for him. I really am. I can't help it. He is my baby and my first one to go to school. I know I have to just let him go. You always read about moms who have a hard time sending their little ones off to school and I never thought I would be like that, but I already am! I am gonna bawl my eyes out! I know Honey was very sad to be missing it. I am sure David will be great but it will take some time for him to get used to it. I just am so proud of my friendly and smart big dude. I feel like I have so much still to teach him. So many important things he needs to know. He is so trusting. I just want him to be safe and make lots of friends. I feel like Forrest Gump at the end of the movie..."I'll be right here when you get back..." and then sit there all day waiting for him. sniff.
Sigh...
Better get the camera ready.
