Not look back quite as often.....**

Dear Blog:

Tank Girlz Weather Commentary:  Um......yeah.  There was supposed to be an ICE STORM.  I will admit last night it was very cold, windy and it was raining- if it had gotten much colder I could see the rain turning into freezing rain.  

I went to bed last night, knowing that they had canceled school and practically shut down the base for the early morning.  I lay in bed listening to the wind howl and the rain pelt against my window. I woke this morning fully expecting to see total mayhem and chaos outside but all I could think was.....Where is THE ICE STORM? I don't see it.

I didn't want to wake up this morning.....I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep forever.  I have so much to do before we leave.....I am feeling seriously over-whelmed even though I know I shouldn't..........


Last night we had dinner over at the McKinney's house.  I used to play outside with Cousin Cody when I was a kid.  How strange is it that 12 years later he would be pursuing the same career as my husband?  He and his wife have been to NEVER NEVER LAND, and LEGS has completed flight school- it was really neat to be able to do a knowledge swap.....and of course make new friends!!!!  They have two boys Ronan and Kaleb, Kaleb barfed on me and it was great!


Unfortunately, I had to drive a half hour ONE way to see a ZOMBIE specialist today.  I spent three hours there so you do the math.  Turns out the Zombie disease is in control, but getting pregnant may be a challenge.....not that we are trying....but for future reference.....


Okay let me see if I can describe this.  While at the Doctor, I had to undress waste up.  They gave me one of those top gowns to put on, you know the ones that are made out of that weird paper material.  So I lift it up and its like a belly shirt.....so there I am feeling totally undignified in a paper halter top with my belly all hanging out......I would just as soon go without a gown......


My goodness gracious....I don't know how it happened but I got caught up in family drama today....it was the weirdest thing......all the way down here in Alabama...with everything I got going on......But my Mommy taught me to stand up for what you believe in....and I do NOT believe in public humiliation as a way of communication.......


My sister Chach is like Switzerland in the family.  She doesn't gossip, she doesn't take sides, and no matter what she loves her sister's unconditionally.  When people in the family pick on her I feel the need to stand up for her because I know that she won't do it herself.......(Side Note: She has been the brunt of quite a few transgressions lately.....)


We got out concurrent travel orders today.  The next step is scheduling the movers to come and pack up our stuff.  The sooner they pack it up the quicker we will get it in NEVER NEVER LAND.  I am still waiting on my government passport, Karmella's travel papers, our Wedding picture that is being framed, and then we can schedule our travel.  


I am SOOOOO excited, but stressed since everything has to come together at the last minute.  I am just so relieved that I get to travel with LEGS and not separate.  I can't believe it! We are going to NEVER NEVER LAND!!!!!! Can you? I mean we are going to live in Europe!!!! OMG!!!!


Random Thoughts:

Somebody told me Walmart (in Tennessee) ran out of milk on account of this ICE STORM.....How is that even possible?

This is not MY vocabulary "I FIND IT EXTREMELY RUDE" when people handle their problems on facebook......Grow a pair, put your BIG girl panties on....and for the love of GOD grow the f*ck up!

(I feel really bad because due to this random thought I posted on facebook a bunch of my actual friends thought that I was referring to them.....I had to qualify it with my next 'random thought' on facebook)

Seriously....in regards to my post earlier today.....I am friends with all of you for a reason, I want to know what goes on in your lives good or bad, I dislike when people use facebook to handle their problems passive-aggressively, I also hate when people wallow in self-pity or act like the constant victim- own up to your actions and get back to reality....


I was then called a hypocrite- because I used facebook to 'handle my problems' unfortunately Hypocrisy and Mockery are not the same thing- I guess those quotations did not register........

My long distance familial relationship dilemma rears its ugly head again....

Man, every time I see the troops reuniting with family members on Television I turn into a soppy mess.....


UM.......my shit doesn't stink......that is all.........


Final Thought:

Sometimes it is hard to show somebody their own reflection in the mirror especially when they are busy shoving the mirror in every other person's face.  

Refuse to be a victim in your life.  

Consider the source of the drama.

I think it may be time to move further away and not look back quite as often.........


LEGS and ARMS are going to NEVER NEVER LAND because we don't want to grow up!!! 


Over & Out....


Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.......**
