I survived

So the trip to Atlanta sucked and the trip home sucked worse, but seeing everyone was cool. Flyboy and his bros hadn't been in the same spot in over 2 years. His middle bro just got out of the Army and lives in Texas and his other bro lives in Michigan. So we went to visit their Dad in Atlanta. Flyboys aunt and uncle live about 2 blocks from my father-in-law (who lives with his mother, so grandma) and their younger daughters are the same ages as Monkey and Apple Juice so the girls were gone all weekend hanging out with their cousins. It was really nice just having Chubs and hanging out with the boys. It was crazy to sit there and think about how I have been around their family for 11 years, they are an awesome family and I love being around them! Grandma just had a stroke and is not doing well so if we do not get the house or it closes later than the 16 we might go up there again before xmas, Flyboy's aunt from Chicago will be in town so it would be nice to see her.
Then xmas day we plan on going down to see my aunt, uncle and grandma in ft meyers. I love going to my aunts it like a resort down there she lives on 3 acres with a pool (for us) and a pond for the dogs (as long as the big gators aren't around!!) Flyboy will be on leave and doesn't have to report anywhere until the middle of Jan so we are going to enjoy some time off after this school!
I finished my online classes and I will take my last calc test either next Wed or the Wed after (if I get a 79 on next wed I am done, otherwise I have to go to the final the week after!) I still haven't heard from UNF and they are not returning my calls so I am debating about school next semester. Part of me is telling me to go and another part of me is ready to give up, not completely but just to wait until Chubs is a little older and then I can go back. I am in debate about finding a job, not the Y but another part time job where I could work from like 9-2 so I can pay off the little bit I have in student loans before going back to school otherwise I will have to take more out and I just do not want to. I guess whatever is meant to be will happen. I could always go to the Navy College here on base and I would have a degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Education and I would be done in June, which would be nice because then I could sub. I don't know I am starting to feel lost again, but I know the path always seems to show up when I stop looking for it!
Okay I am going to try and get another 20 min of sleep since Chubs is still on this get up at 330am kick and now she is finally back asleep on Phantom (he is really good at getting the girls to sleep!)!!

So a few updates

I am trying to not get excited but we have a contract on a house. Ironically it looks almost identical to our home in San Diego. I really like the neighborhood it is in and it is way closer to the girls school. It is a 2 story and it was built in 1997. It is 1500 sq ft and a 3/ 2 and 1/2. I would love more space, it really is not an entertaining house (we can comfortably have our family and a few guests, but I couldn't host a party there unless it was completely outdoors), it does have a HUGE yard. Now it is just waiting for the appraisal and I really doubt that the VA is going to appraise it for 145, I am hoping they at least get it around 142-143, I think the people will work with us, they bought the house last December and are moving because of work, so I think they will eat some of the profit. I dunno, this is why i am not getting excited. Our lender said we can go conventional, but then that is another $250 we will shell out for a conventional appraisal not to mention the closing costs will be about 1000 more. Our realtor and lender are getting sick of us and keep telling us that this house is going to work out. I really hope so, I am getting sick of looking and finding something only to have it fall through. So that is the house crap.

I need to get a 79 or better on my next calc test to have a B in the class. I am very happy with a B, so I guess I better study, I got a 72 on my test on Wednesday, but I thought for sure I had failed so I was content with that. I just do not want to have to take the final. I want to be done with school the week before since if the house goes through we will close on the 16. Flyboy graduates from FE school on the 15th and his dad will be here, but I want to have the house completely packed so we are ready to move.

Monkey drove me crazy yesterday she didn't take her night meds, because I had went to the movies and Flyboy didn't give it to her so she was up all night. She kept bugging me all night then she was AWFUL yesterday and I was ready to kill her. Her moods were up and down and her behavior was off the wall. I sent her to bed at 630 and hopefully she will sleep until 9 today! Unfortuately Chubs didn't take a nap so she went to bed at 530pm and got up at 4am, so I get to get up which would be fine but work asked me to come in today and we NEED the money despirately (I just had to fix the brakes on the van) so I agreed so here I am up with the sun and I get to work all day, so no nap for me. Apple Juice on the other hand has been awesome. She missed school on Friday because I was afraid to drive the van and she came up to me and said I can't miss school, I have to go and learn, I am ready to learn today. So funny from a kid who tells me school is horrible, because they make her take a nap. Oh well

Chubs is screaming at me now, I like I told her to get up at 4am. Gotta run

Okay I tested it and it seems to be working now

So the 11th was Chubs 1st birthday. We had Flyboy's classmates and a few neighbors over for a bbq and cake. It wasn't a party but she still got a cake to destroy and eat!! Yesterday I had to work all day so Flyboy took the girls to the 'pretty, pretty, princess party' he has begged me to never have to take them to another birthday party. I have worked 3 weekends and we have had 1-2 birthday parties a weekend and he has had to do them all by himself. Honestly I do not feel bad, he just felt weird at the playgroup one he kept saying this isn't Dani and Les (friends from the San Diego playgroup). I reminded him that the first couple times around that group he didn't know those ladies either.
He wants to go back to California YESTERDAY. It is driving me nuts because I am the one who pushed him take these orders because he wanted to be an FE (flight engineer), it is the closest he will ever get to being a pilot while on the enlisted side. Plus I prefer the P-3 deployments since they are not on the ship so we can talk everyday and he will have a phone number so when my girls start crying for their daddy then I can call him. I hate the ship deployments. His first one he was turned around and extended 4 months. P-3s are 6 months and someone relieves you, they do not have to keep a ship out there. Plus from our understanding you make good money because you are making per diem (money for living)... We will see if my hubby is on the ground and can spend it I am sure we won't make but $2!! He is soooooo money stupid!
Hopefully I can talk him into finishing school and going officer then becoming a pilot. Then we can go back to Cali since I would have my degree and then maybe we can afford a condo (seriously, it is expensive!) We will see right now I am going to live it up that I am near my grandma and aunt (in Ft Meyers) and his dad, grandma and aunt up in Atlanta.
I am off to clean my house, shave my legs and then we are going to look at a house before I head to work. We found one yesterday that would work, it was a 4/2 1800 sq ft up in the Normandy area, the layout was a little weird, but I loved the space it had. We are going to look at a 3/2 1500 sq ft that is closer and is 2 stories before we decide to put a bid in on the other one. More houses, they are all starting to look the same, but at least we are looking at bigger (no less than 1400 sq ft, we are in 1300 sq ft here (4/2) and sufficating!)

Let's see if this one works!!

get to know me

Y that is the question

So last night was my first night working at the Y. My first day was Sunday and that went fine long but the girls had fun with Daddy! Well last night sucked. First I hated having supermom watch the kiddos while flyboy went to night school. I can take them with, but I didn't get home until 9pm and Daddy had them in bed at 8, so it is easier to leave them with Supermom. Then I had to do private lessons. The Y is getting $20 for each student and paying me $4.50, not fair. I can do private lessons where I am getting cash under the table to me getting that $20. So I wasn't happy. I also assisted with the swim team and the coach is an idoit! So I think I will tell the director who is also an idoit, even more of one than the coach, that I will do this for 2 more weeks and then I am not going to do evenings. It is way too much of a strain on my family and ME, especially if I will not be happy. I will do Saturdays and even Sundays, I just do not want to work in the evening. He also wants me to call people and recruit them for the private lessons I DO NOT want to teach. I don't think so. Plus all the guards there are drama, it is crazy all they do is whine and piss and moan. I do not need to work, I will when and if we get a house, but right now we do not absolutely need the money and I definately do not need to deal with these idoits.
So hopefully I can get the balls up to tell them that I do not need the job and I am sorry they wasted their time.
Well we will see...
