One of those days...

Have you ever had one of those days where it seems like everything you touch fails? I'm having one of those days today. I'm feeling very inadequate about everything in my life. I know that it's just me being down on myself, but some days it's just easy to feel that way. I hate this feeling. It's like everything at work sucks, my kid won't listen to me, my husband seems upset with me, and I feel distant from my whole family. I know I just need a little alone time for myself, and a good nights sleep...I hope! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...

Kindergarten

Well, My baby boy has now been in kindergarten for 2 weeks. He seems to really enjoy it. He hasn't gotten into too much trouble, but there is still time. We are still trying to get on a schedule for our whole family.
I really want to get my house cleaned out and have a garage sale in the next few months. I've got so much crap in my house, I basically need to start over from scratch. It feels like my house is always trashed...hopefully I will get it all done soon, and will be able to just relax for a while.
I have been knitting like crazy this year, and since money is tight this year, it's a good thing I have learned how to be crafty! I have started a blanket for my husband, and will be making a quilt for my parents for Christmas. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I really enjoy being crafty, it seems to relax me a little.
I MADE SSGT!!!!!!!!!!! that means promotion and $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's time to get my little man out of the shower and into bed...good night all!

update on life

So....I've been incredibly busy lately! I am working on making a baby blanket for my nephew. I'm a little more than a third of the way finished, but still have a long way to go. It looks like it may be a welcome baby gift, and not a baby shower gift! It's alright though...life happens, and my sister will understand. I leave on Wednesday to go home and throw her a baby shower! I'm so excited!!!! I haven't seen my sissy in a year, and haven't seen the easy of my family in a year and a half. We are actually all going to be in town! That hasn't happened in a long time! We are also celebrating my dad's 50th birthday this weekend! I miss my family so much, and wish that I lived a lot closer to them so I could visit a lot more...but this is the life I have chosen for me and my family. I should not be deploying this year. I'm glad about thato Ryan starts kindergarten this year...I can't believe my little boy is getting so big, and growing up so fast.

Sick

So I'm sick with pneumonia. It sucks! I can't wait to go get Ryan tomorrow! I miss him tons.

Missing my Baby...

So, I've been in ALS for two weeks now, and it seems to be taking toll on my whole life. I know that it is short lived, and is great for my future, but it couldn't have come at a worse time. I like my classmates, and my instructor is pretty awesome. I'm actually enjoying it for the most part. I just really miss Ryan right now. I hate that I haven't seen him in 3 weeks, and it's going to be another 2 weeks at least before I see him again. I get to talk to him a couple of times a week, but sometimes that doesn't feel like enough. I can't wait to go pick him up...I miss him tons!!!!!

My Little Man

My kid is hilarious! Yesterday morning, I went to wake him up for day care, and he told me it was still night night time cause it was dark outside. Any time, I want to sleep in, he's up at the crack of dawn, no matter what time he goes to sleep. But yesterday, he did not want to get up. I finally got him convinced that it really was morning time, and got him to day care on time for me to get where I needed to be.
When we got home last night after day care, he was ready to play some xbox, but of course Scott was playing Guitar Hero, so he had to wait his turn. after he played for an hour, and his time was up, he came into the kitchen to help me cook. It was fun. We made hamburger helper, and homemade cornbread. He had fun measuring things out and stiring everything. Then he watched Scott play the football game on xbox. He decided he was the opposite team, and everytime Scott got tackled, he would jump around and get all excited. It was really cute!
He's growing up so fast. I can't believe that he is almost 5 years old!

Back to work

So, while I've technically been off this week, I think I've gone into work almost everyday. either phisically or on the phone...it's alright though...I love my Natalie, so it's all good! I have to go into work tonight for the catholic service. It will be good since I'll be out most of the day tomorrow due to dr appointments and my excel class that I'm not really learning anything in. I've had fun spending time with Ryan this week, but am so ready for him to burn his energy off at day care next week. I've been taking Financial Peace University on Tuesday nights, and I'm really enjoying it. I've created a budget, and am going to stick to it. So far, so good! This week is going to be crazy busy, we have the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday. That means the #2 guy in the Chaplain Corps is cming to town, and we have lots to do to finish getting things in order. Only 3 more weeks, and i will be going to ALS. Which means, lots of studying, and still the pressures of work, I'm pretty sure. We get another guy in this week, which means I may be up for orders soon. I don't really care if we get orders or not, I like working with Natalie. It'll be a different story when Recto gets back though. I'll be ready for one of us to leave then. I just hope that if I do stay, I don't have to deploy in September. My baby is starting Kindergarten this year, and I really don't want to miss out on that. I am starting to study for SSgt which means more money, so please be praying! I guess that's all for now...thanks for listening to my ramblings...

Been a while...

Apparently I'm not very good at this blogging thing. I haven't even been all that busy. I really have no excuse except for pure laziness...that sums up the last 4 weeks of my life. My house is a mess, I need to do laundry, and I'm gaining weight again...all of this is due to my own laziness! I'm off work this week due to Scott recovering from back surgery. I could probably be at work, but then I would be missing the opportunities to make lots of memories with Ryan. Scott is doing well. He is in a lot of pain, but is handeling it very well...much better than anticipated. I did get my father-in-law's scarf made in 3 days-for his birthday! Now I'm working on mine and Scott's scarves. Ryan is so fun to watch when he does just about anything. He has been playing a lot of x-box 360 this week...mostly Star Wars. He has problems sitting in one spot when he plays...I think he gets that from me though. I vaugely remember doing that when I was younger. There are days that I think I could be a stay-at-home mom, but then there are days when I thank God for my job and Day Care!!!! I guess that is all for tonight. I'm going to try and get some sleep, and get up at a normal time tomorrow!

So It Begins...

I've decided to write my thoughts down at least twice a week, more if time permits. I am 24 years old, married to a wonderful man, and mother of two. I try to be as active as possible in the lives of my children, but life doesn't always allow for that. I am fairly active at our church, but hope to become more active and better acquainted with the community while we are still here in Mississippi. I am currently serving in the United States Air Force as a Chaplain Assistant. I plan on making a career out of it, so only 14 years to go until reitement! This will be the place where I write it all down. How my week is going, updates on my children, my thoughts on life and work, and just life in general. I'm no great writer, but will do my best. I hope you enjoy what you read!
