what a day lol

So someone took my daughters bike today. And its not just any bike, its the bike her daddy got her from Afghanistan. So as a panicked child cried in my lap I decided to go drive around the neighborhood. Thankfully I didn't have to go far... it was 3 places down from where we live... so she was happy, as was I and now all is better... well except for the fact that my AC froze...and its 83 damn degrees outside. Its hotter outside than it is in here... but its still uncomfortably hot in this place. Not sure when it will thaw out.. but it sucks right now.. so me and the girls are in our pjs... just chilling in the house with the windows open! Hoping that maintenence will hurry up and get here and fix the problem. 
Seen a sign today outside our office that said I don't need my fake daddy anymore... welcome home daddy. I wonder if they know how lucky they are... and I wonder if while they were making that sign if they thought of all the children who will have to cling on to their fake daddies since their daddy won't be coming home. I'm happy to hear that our guys are starting to come home... my heart just breaks at the thought that my best friends husband is one who gave all... Gone but not forgotten, RIP Jonathan Porto We love and Miss you.

ho-hum

Okay... so here is how today went... *deep breath* after enjoying a rather relaxing day with Rachel and everyone else I come home to make sure that my dog hasn't completely eaten the entire house... and as I thought... he damn near did. But I can't get mad at him because I was gone for the night... and the better part of the day. So I clean that whole mess up and as I am sitting on the couch watching my girls play, I feel my eyes get really heavy... like cross eyed heavy lol. So I put some cartoons on thinking that if I can just close my eyes... and then I wake up about an hour later.... THE ENTIRE HOUSE WAS A WRECK. They manage to tear this place up quicker than any kid I have ever seen. So I sent the kids to bed.. and started cleaning again. Oh well.... I just wonder why it is that my kids decide to wreck this house so much! lol They don't do this when their father is home... guess its a mom thing. lol. So not that I have wound down from the stress of today... I think I might enjoy a beer and go to bed... well I might not do the beer.. I am still dehydrated from last night.
Buuut before I go I would like to send a special thanks to my Marine wife friends. Esp. my first wife Rach! These ladies have made being away from home easier. Even when they are going through their own personal hell... they still make my day better.. how blessed am I. To be in a new place (well we have been here a year) but they make it really feel like home.

Friends

I have went from having hundreds of friends to now just a few. I have my friends back home and then I have my military wife friends. There are not a lot of military wives that I am friends with, but I cherish these women. I never thought that women could become friends and I mean really good friends just because our husbands work in the same area or company. I was so scare moving here because I knew that I was leaving my friends behind... and one friend in particular broke my heart (yes you Jewel) Jewel was at my house every weekend.. and we talked on the phone for hours right after she left.. hell we still talk on the phone for hours... lol... but then I came up here to good all J vegas... and was introduced to who I didn't know would end up becoming one of the best friends that I ever had... my dear Rachel. I have slowly met other wives here as well... from facebook and myspace... but you know these women have always been so nice to me... they have always been there for me... when I needed them the most. I love the fact that I can wake up at 3 am and more than likely there is at least one wife that is online that i can talk to. They range from Lcpl wives to Ssgt's and above. They are a whole new breed of friends..and it is going to kill me when one of them pcs's or we pcs... because I won't have that friend right down the road again. I am truly blessed to have these women in my life. They have seen me at my high points and at my low points.. with a lot of my friends back home... it took years to get to where me and the wives here accomplished in weeks or days. I love my friends back home.. but when you realize that there is a chance that you won't have the years to build up that friendship.. you find yourself bonding with in weeks. It just truly amazes me how blessed that I am .

friends

So today was Easter... hope everyone had a good one. I had a pretty good one. I was with my bestie Rachel and a few other friends. My kids were happy and that's really all that mattered to me. After the little dinner i thought that I would be able to come home and relax but our dog made sure that wasn't possible. He tore the house up. So I cleaned up everything.. and I felt my eyes getting heavy, so I thought hey if I turn on cartoons... I can close my eyes for only a moment and relax... FAIL. I woke up one hour later to find that my kids had completely tore up the house. I mean I'm talking bad mess! So I sent the kids to bed... and cleaned again. Now here I am tired... very tired... and yet I have the urge to blog! Go figure! Anyways... before I go I would love to say thank you to my wonderful friends that I have out here. I am truly blessed to have such good friends. Esp my Rachel... she's kind of my bestie lol. Anyways... these wives have made being away from home and all my friends a lot easier! Its strange because in weeks (sometimes less).. I reach a level of bonding with these girls that took years for me to reach with my friends back home. It amazes me. My bestie is going through something in her life.. that I couldn't imagine.. and yet she still manages to make me smile. I look up to her for strength.. I mean she is pretty damn amazing lol.  I love that woman. ; )
But I am going to go for now... I am very tired and have a busy day lined up for tomorrow... not sure what it is... but I am sure that it will be busy lol. Who knows the beach might be in the works for me!

hahaha

Ok so today was am okay day... got up cleaned.. the norm... then my daughter comes running in from the bathroom yelling mommy mommy i flushed the phone... I said awe no sweetie, its called a toilet your so cute.. and she yells at me and says no I flush the phone IIIiiin the toilet... now this phone is my main communication with my husband while he is deployed.. so you can imagine my panic.. so I go in the bathroom... no phone... and I do not own any wire hangers.. so I was damn near elbow deep in the toilet reaching for my phone. Finally reaching it I pull it out and its dead not turning on at all.. so step two.. frantically look through our house for my old phone that is damn near broken.. but hey at least it works. Finally find the phone.. and then I remember that I gave away my chargers for that phone. Craaaaap. So I finally find a charger and all is good with the world now.. and knowing that all of that happened.. I more than likely won't get a phone call until I no longer need another phone. lol.. that's life around here. Buuut at least I have a way to talk to him. But that was just one day. hahahaha I'll write again later.

roughness..

So a lot of things have happened since my husband left back in October... but man oh man I would love a break right about now... I mean it is getting to the point to where I am not sure if I am having a really bad dream... or if all of this is true.... I mean sometimes I say to myself... this all can't really be happening to me right!? I mean there's no way one person can handle all of this... and then my Nana tells me that God only gives us what we can  handle... and everything is a test of faith... well God can a girl get a break?? I mean I'm kind of on my wits ends... lol... but I know that in a few months I will hopefully look back at this and say... man you freaked out over everything chick!! What was you thinking!!! But right now those do not look like words that I would say lol. But we will see... everything is different when you husband is home... its all smooth and what not :) But the other thing that I have had problems with is the fact that no one really comes around anymore... and when they do come around... we really don't laugh and joke like me and my friends back home do... it makes it hard... well there are a few friends here that I can laugh with like that... but there's not near as many as back home... I mean I just don't know what to do anymore... I want to get out there... make some friends... but you know there is really no one that can touch the friendships that I have with my FBH (friends back home) I guess I expect too much of people maybe??? Am I wrong for thinking that if I bend over backwards for a friend then they should at least come over and hang out for longer than 20 minutes when all they are doing after they leave my house is going to chill at their place??? Whatever lol dueces
