Connor Lost . . .

His 2nd tooth!

Day 1

So he left, called later said he was in Memphis and heading for the next plane.

He got to BWI and had a long layover there, so we talked on the computer and the phone, which it was hard to hang up last night.

Kids slept with me. Jacob was the 1st one up. He marked off day 1 with a picture of Spongebobs Gary.
Connor woke up and wanted his candy for the day.

Mike is in Germany now, with a hour layover there.
MSN is acting up so that chat didn't last very long.

It's time for me to put my big girl pants on and head over to the neighbors to help them out.

Kids are out of school for 3 days. Thanks Mardi Gras.

I want to Thank Everyone so much for all the thoughts, prayers and kind words, I really needed them.

HUGS

He's Gone

So are 3 am this morning we get up, get dressed and go out to the base to get his rifle. Head back to the interstate to the Airport drop off Mike.

He gets his stuff, the boys say bye dad and are ready to go back home.
Nope, I go park, come in and Mike is still getting his stuff checked in. He then tells me that only 1 of us can go to the gate with him. I'm thinking um, how is that going to work. So the person working with Mike leaves so I ask someone else how does it work, she says oh it depends on the person checking you in. But I think we can get you a pass. So I got the pass. YAY! We get to go back there with Mike.
Mike's Commander, First Shirt, Supervisor and two co-workers come to see him off. Then there is an announcement, they over booked the plane and they want folks to come to the 1st floor so that they can book them for another time etc... They will give you $300 or a round trip ticket to somewhere. HA HA!
We decided it was time to say good-bye to Mike's work and head off to the gate.

I was very strong until I had to walk away, yes, I did the run back and hug him one last time and cried.
Jacob Cried when he saw Mike and I crying. Connor said, mommy its only 4 months and you have your cuddle bum. Awww!

Here are the photos:

Connor Lost his 1st tooth!!!

Weird Photo

So I was taking pictures of the kids last night and this is what happen when they got tired of letting me take photos and walked away in mid take:

 

Loosey Goosey

So Jacob was late getting his teeth and was late loosing his teeth.
Connor on the other had got his 1 month earlier than Jacob and has a loosey goosey already, it has been loose for a while since about the age of 4, but we told him to leave it alone and it would get loose by itself (You know the longer they keep baby teeth the healthier the adult tooth is, or so the saying goes). Well, now at the age of 5, my baby has a very loosey goosey and is ready for the tooth fairy. I'm going to give him a week of it bugging him and hurting him and we will have it out. (WISH HIM LUCK)
I'll keep you posted.

Downers

Lost: 1 kid and 1 dog. Found: 1 kid & 1 dog.
(Keep reading for story)

KID We were leaving Wal-Mart and Leslie wanted to show me the stuffed animalsI walked over there and looked at themI told her they were cute and then we were leavingI could have swore Connor was beside me, nope. Jacob says wheres Connor, I looked around and my heart just stopped he wasn't thereI went in and I could hear him crying, but I couldn't find him, So I'm screaming Connor..... ConnorAnd I hear a lady say do you know where your mommy in and I see him. Oh I was pissedI told him you are in soo much trouble I got his hand and he was still crying I squeezed it and he said Ouch while cryingThen I got him past the register and I picked him up and hugged him tight, told him to never do that again, that I don't want to lose him. He was still crying and saying I'm soo sorry mommy.I wanted to kill him and hug him at the same time.

DOG:Went over to the neighbors house, we had let the dogs out to run while I was over there. OOPS, Chi-Chi went looking for me, she is such a mamas girl.I hear Mike screaming her name. I went outside and yelled did you loose my dog again, he said nope you lost your dog. So Mike went driving around to find her. I went in the house to make sure she wasn't there. The neighbor heard a same little bark and said I think she is over here. Chi-Chi went into Mr. Bills back yard, throught a racoon hole, but couldn't get back out. It was funny cause that is normally where we all go to talk. So she thought we were there.

So after two days I lost two loved ones, but I got them both back.Got to love Kids and Dogs!

Uppers

Computer is fixed it is having a few issues but it works.
Still faster than the DELL!!! I hate that computer.
Took Family Photos today, Guess who took the pictures, guess guess guess!!!!!
We went to see the Singing Christmas Tree at First Baptist Church in Biloxi. The boys were bored, Connor kept saying it and asking how much longer, Jacob just went to sleep instead. Mike & I enjoyed it.HUGS

BOO HOO!

My electronic best friend died today.
So I'm having to use my old electronic best friend until Mike gets the newer one fixed.
How crazy is that? I purchased a new computer to replace the old Dell and get this the Old Dell is the one that is still kicking, WTF?????
Is it that a Dell is better than a HP or that this Dell just wants to live forever?Well with that said, I'm going to kick the HP a few more times.
BUMMER!!!

Yeppers

Okay so Dana moved out, then my grandma came to visit for a while, loved having her here even though the only thing she did was sleep.
Jacob finished Football and they won the Championship!! WTG, TEAM!
Connor started soccer and it is just like last year a waste of time. Coaches do a good spill on we are going to do this that and they other and then it fades to black. So we stopped going.Christmas Shopping is done, except for Mike's Mom. But we know what we are going to get her so that is great.We went to FL for Thanksgiving and it was great, we cooked took all the food over to pizza hut and had this huge Buffet style dinner. It was huge, lots of family, friends and co-workers at Pizza Hut. We played board games, Magic Card Games and Regular Cards. Laughed too hard and had to much food as always.
Christmas Mike's Family are coming over here and we are going to SC to visit my mom for about a week starting on the 26th. So yeppers we are going to be packing up the family, the kids presents and the girls for an 8 hour trip to SC, Mountains soooooo Beautiful. LOADS OF PHOTOS Hopefully.
My grandma wants to come and visit again, I don't know if she will, but I told her I will get her greyhound to my moms and she can ride back with us to MS.
Oh we thought seriously about purchasing a house, got right down to the contract part of it after we got the mortgage loan approved and we decided against it. Thank goodness we did, don't want to live in MS for the rest of my life, still want to go out and see the world.
Mike is studying very hard to make Master this year and I'm studying the same stuff cause it is fun to know the Military Spouse updated parts.
Well that is our little updates.HUGS

Quit BAMM

After being offered Manager, accepting it and then being told I was joking.
Then having the Assistant Manager (Lindsay) talk about me behind my back.
I could hear her, Bobbie then Bobbie.
I answered what, then she said I was talking about you, not to you.
I'm like what the F?
So today I went into work doing the specialist job that I don't get paid for.
Mike called and said he wanted to do lunch with me, but he wasn't sure what time he could get there, I said Okay.
Karla goes to Lunch and She had 10 minutes left.
Mike gets there and only has 20 minutes for lunch
I asked if it was okay if I start my lunch break now since Mike only has 20 minutes, she said I would rather you wait. I said Okay.
Then she says fine go all snotty.
Then Angie ask if she can go to lunch. Lindsay says yes then starts telling her that I had to have lunch with Mike so now she has to stop what she is doing so that she can cover me, because I couldn't wait for Karla to come back. She didn't think I could hear her, or maybe she didn't care.
So I go back to my register and tell her she can go back to her job that I'm not taking my lunch break now, she said why not I said you can. I said no, you said you would rather me wait, so I'm waiting she said no you can go *all snotty* because Mike only has 20 minutes. I told her I can talk with Mike anytime. I even said I was sorry that I didn't know Mike was coming at this time etc.... At this point she is doing the bitchy face with the snottiness. I said fine I quit. This store has too much drama, too much backstabbing, and like I told you before I don't need the job or the money, I was just working here to have something to do, and since it seems like no one stays here, UM, I now know why.

There is my vent for today.

Mike is proud that I quit, he couldn't figure out why I was staying after they pulled the manager crap.

Oh well.
I'm home, I have more time for the kids, hubby, and life.

Happy Birthday Jacob (9th)

Well today was a busy day.
I had a meeting at work after closing last night at 12 am.
So from 8 to 9 I sat in a meeting.
Then went to go sign the boys up for Soccer.
While Mike took the boys to the football field to get Jacob's Team Photo done by 8:45.
Then the game started at 10 ended at 11.
Which our little Saints won their first game.

Then we went to Pensacola to see Mike's family. Went to Walmart for Jacob's Presents, got to love last minute.
Then we went out to eat at Pizza Hut. Darn me, I forgot the camera at home.

We are back in Biloxi now, the kids are asleep.
Jacob got new pokemon stuffed animals, a MP3 player, DS Dogs game, A new virutal pet that I get to leave on pause, or kill. HE HE.
On his MP3 Player we put Pokemon Songs and Kidz Bop 12. He was listening to it all morning, then on the ride over to Pensacola. He named his dog, Blue, it is a Husky.

Here is a Photos of Jacob from Birth to 9 years old.

Highlights

Okay I told Mike that when I got paid, I would spend some of the money on myself.
So I went and got highlights.Here are the photos.http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.editAlbumPhotos&albumID=97294&MyToken=9c22c148-2075-4390-94d9-f35b88382dfb

Life in the Fast Lane

Ever wonder why life seems to fly by. Well so do I.
While we were in England it seemed to just draw itself out. Even if we stayed so busy that we couldn't tell if we were coming or going.
I volunteered, Mike worked, Jacob did every sport he could think of and yet we still had time to be a family and enjoy down time.
But here, Downtime doesn't seem to work its way into our schedule. Mike still works, get every other Friday off. The boys both do sports and I still volunteer when I have time. I even started up a job at BAMM, which seems to be great one minute and a pain in the ass the next.
I do miss the downtime, just playing gamecube, reading, riding bikes that we did in England. I really need to figure out how to work that into here. I don't know if it is that we have just become Lazy like other American's or what. Heck, we even find ourselves going out to eat more often. Which I hate. I don't know how we talk ourselves into it, but we do. I miss our little family holding hands and saying grace at the dinner table.
How do you get out of the fast lane and back to the slow lane?
How do you find time for yourself, your family and still live in this fast pace country?
When I figure it out, I promise I will spill the beans!
But until then, I'll take any advice I can get.

Football

My Little Saint had his first practice tonight.
It had been scheduled for a while, but with the thunderstorms it had been cancelled.
He had himself a blast. At first he didn't like hitting that much. NOW, he loves it. (Why you may ask, ummm) Cause his Dad told him to act like he was hitting Connor. Jacob and Mike both agree, that he loves football much better than any other sport. Believe me he has played Soccer, Baseball, Basketball and now Football. HE LOVES IT!!! He loves getting hit, doing the hitting etc... Mike said his glasses would fly down and he would just get up from hitting and just push them back up. He as practice again tomorrow. I'll be at work. But Thursday I'll be there watching and taking photos. :)

First game is 15 Sept. My little saints 9th Birthday!
