This week is suppose to be spring break. Second day into the week and its raining, which is making me really sad. I been fighting the blues for a bit trying to distract myself with the endless amount of chores and stuff. Its just really hard to get everything clean, sit down and relax to only get up to find it a mess again. I keep thinking I should be working to help bring income in to help us adjust in our non-army life but with both my legs being stupid its really hard to do this.

It doesn't help that I feel unapreciate in what I do and be expected to keep a smile on my face. Maybe I just need to go back to the doctor to adjust my meds, but I am sure they will only say that its just the stress that I been enduring over the last few weeks. I feel extra bad not keeping in touch with those close to me. I begin to think that I am just bother and just hide myself away even more.



I just feel rather overwhelmed, and the weather isnt really helping any. I guess I just wanted to vent and hopefully I will be better enough to get things done.

No worries ppl, I shall be fine, not going to feed myself to the zombies just yet. lol

Everyone have a good day!

How come it seems like when you get to a new place, no matter how much you unpack there seems to be more boxes popping up to do the same?

I still have all sorts to go thru, tons of laundry as I unpack, finding a place to put my craft stuff so I can organize them when I obtain my craft room.



I also second guessing myself in signing up in a couple of swaps. I been out of the crafting loop since December of last year and I am going crazy. I already have lots of nifty ideas for both swaps.

The swaps I joined were the fridge magnet swap-which would be great for the new place. I can diffently put my sticker machine into use with that swap.

And the other swap is the Alice in Wonderland-I did a similar swap a year ago and I also got to see the movie over the weekend. (great visual effects but I was kinda expecting more from it) I paid attention to all the minor to greater details through the movie so I can utilize it for ideas for this swap)

This week my goal is to get Emma's room done, finish going through the boxes in the living room, so next week with it being spring break both girls can play while I get my craft on.


But anywho, going to do some research and figure what to take out for dinner.

Finally cleared housing quarters!! If anyone knows anything about the military should know how much of headach is to clear quarters.

Now I must get the new place unpack. Yesterday I was able to get the kitchen somewhat done so I could make my family dinner. Lasanga, salad and some garlic bread(a friend of ours made the bread and was yummo) I will not be liking that we dont have a dishwasher. Boo!

I miss crafting though, but I figure that will be the last to unpack and organized.



In the meantime I am getting ready for Lillian's bday party which will be this Sunday(2.28) The theme is butterflies. Found a pretty cake and ordered it for her. I will post pics of the party after Monday.

Today thu is my dad's birthday. After it stops snowing I plan on seeing him.


So hopefully everyone is doing alright, I will talk to you all laters.

Okay so today we are suppose to start moving some boxes into the new place since the power should be turned on today, but nooooo the weather decides to mock us and scream "NO!"...so its freezing, raining and thundering. I am surrounded by box towers and clothes mines. If I don't watch where I am stepping on I might step on one and explode from under me.




Not to mention my little Emma decided to take off with my crafting scissors and chop her hair yesterday. Thought she was being very good in her closed room while we were packing. Then realize she didn't peak out like she usually does to check on us. I go in there and see hair pieces everywhere. I fixed it as much as I could since I didn't have hair cutting scissors. Then waited till Anita returned my txt so she could fix it with hers. Alot of hair was cut off, the only way to make it look normal was to give her a layer haircut. She has thick hair so it will do for now.


Cut by the Emma.


Extra waving and layered.


But since my moving plans is on a standstill, I managed to call the cable/Internet company and got that scheduled, as well as taking care of a bill collector.

The plan now is getting the Emma to nap for me. So wish me luck. :)

Any who this is my progress today. :D


Posting something cute and funny for the day.


see more Lolcats and funny pictures

Moving always sucks, but it sucks more when you are just exhausted and not really getting help. I am not really satisfied with the progress we are making but when its just me and Emma during the day its the best I can do for now.

I am packing and purging at the same time. I have been slacking on the normal house duties that I usually get done during the day. I am hoping after I drink my second cup of coffee I can get the second wind I need and finish clearing my craft area. Then I am going to get the kitchen clean and laundry finished for school this week for Lillian.

We will have power turn on at the new place tomorrow and I will have to call Timewarner about transfering our services. My plan is to be in the new place next week. That is my goal! Lets see if I can do it!

Lillian will still go to her school till after March 2nd. She has a play that day and has a line, she's been praticing it for a month now and do not want to take her out of the school till then. I will have to wake up early to get her to school but its a small price to pay to make my baby happy.

Matthew is still hunting for jobs, I wish he would be more helpful at home but I won't get into that. lol.

Here is pics of my messy house....so don't pick on me.

my beautiful hubby :D

Emma and Cage, with an overwhelming pile of mess on the floor from all over the house...i need big bulldozer...that would be great.


Boxes, going to attack the craft area in a minute.

the living room looking really bad...feel like sobbing lol.


Entertainment center cleared~


So this is my progress so far...Dont be harsh..

So my plans of getting things done this week was a flop. I had to go to the Emergency room on Monday evening. I had a 101.6 temp and was in alot of pain. They just told me I had bronchitis, yuck. I am feeling a little bit better, just making sure this killer headache stays away cause it was mainly the reason that shut me down last couple of days.

Today I also did a follow up with my doctor for my sleeping issue and she put me back on ambien and set up a referral to see a psychiatrist to see why I having anxiety at night where it is keeping me from sleeping. So we shall see how that goes.

I also got my crown finally today. I can eat again!! Since I had the temporary I wasn't able to bite so I ate less...alot less. And its been about a month and I lost 10 pounds....crazy huh? I am sure it will be gained back since I can eat right. lol

Tomorrow I will be taking Lillian in the morning for her check up, and while I am there I might ask them to file the back of the tooth a bit so I can bite comfortably.

Other than that I hope tomorrow I will feel a bit better so I can catch up with the house work.

So I will keep you all posted! :D

OKAY, I figure I will feel better after I vent, since I sorta feel the pint up anxiety building inside.

We were just informed Matthew my husband(who is in the army) will be leaving from the army Feb 20, 2010...yes you read that right, that is next MONTH!!! If he can not get extended which seems very doubtful at this short notice we got. We have less than 30 days to move out of housing!

We do not have the necessary funds to do this right now, yes I just had a settlement but I used it to pay off debts and so forth. If they give us at least till mid March we will be able to use our tax refund check to move out on.

But after he is out of the army there is no jobs lined up for him, and with my leg/ankle I am unable to stay on my feet for so long.(I tried this when I worked at 7-11 and failed miserably.

You see is unit is suppose to track this type of stuff out at least 160 days prior to his E.T.S date but they didn't. If they did we would of been able to plan more proficiently about the future. This only came to our attention when he went online to see if he was no longer "fenced" so we can change duty stations.

So I am now freaky out cause we both wont have jobs, need a place to live, lose medical and dental, and will be so heartbroken if we have to get rid of our dogs, Charlie is a total mommy dog he doesn't do well with strangers and what if he bites his new owners and they put him to sleep. I am in tears!

I was born into the army, raised army and married twice into the army. As much as I would like to get away from the army, we been very depended on the army.

I know I should stay positive but its very hard to do when there is a tremendous amount of change that is going to happen and I am not ready!

Today is may 16th 2009, I went to my sister in law's baby shower and had a blast.


I am still sick and really dont have the energy to do much at the moment. I still have to work on a goodie bag swap and well I guess I can show you the bag i made..I added red glitter to him but havent taken an updated pic of the little guy.


Shhh dont tell my parnter...lol


I also signed up for an ATC swap as well, but that shouldnt be a issue with postage since I can stick it in an envelope and slap a stamp on it.

I am also a bit depressed, my plan to have saved some money after bills and stuff did not work. I am now in the red at my bank cause I forgot about both mine and matt's online games. His went thru but my game was declined :( so I get to sit here and be sick and not do anything while he does.


Not much else is going on besides that.
