I'm BACK

But very, very tired. We were down in the Fort Myers area for over a week and then headed up to Busch Gardens. It was cool to hang out with the 'old' people, but I am glad to be home after everything settles I will post more. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am alive!
Although my boss at the base pool Julie passed away a few days ago and I feel horrible for missing her funeral, I didn't know until today! Julie had been battling cancer for over 2 years and she never let it get her down, but I am glad to see she is out of pain now. Very sad that is the second death of someone I knew this Christmas season, my husbands uncle also passed away a week before. What a bummer holiday!
More to come later~

It'd been awhile

So it was a long week. I got a 76 on my Calc final so I ended up with a B in the class. Flyboy graduated, he is now officially a flight engineer, whoohoo. Now he has to go to POW camp for 2 weeks at the end of January before transferring to his new squadron. We didn't get the house because the VA sucks and under appraised it and the buyers wouldn't come down, I don't blame them at all. So back to the drawing board. I am done with looking at houses. They all look the same and the more I look the more just staying here on base sounds better. I do want my own house I want to be earning equity and to have color on my walls, but it has been an awful 4 months since we seriously started looking. I want to take a few months off and our realtor keeps calling and telling us to go look at a house. I told her to give me a month and I think she will. She is a really nice lady.
It should be a fun day Chubs is getting over a cold and seems to finally be feeling better (maybe I shouldn't have taken her to the park when it was 50, oh well). Apple Juice spiked a fever of 103 and was up almost all night and slept on me so I really didn't get much sleep. And Monkey is already bored not even 24 hours into xmas break and already she is driving us crazy. We have 2 birthday parties we were supposed to go to and now I had to cancel, I really don't want to see anyone else's kids getting sick for xmas and hopefully they are better tomorrow so we can go to the JPP holiday party. One of the triplets have pneumonia so I have to watch mine carefully I think Chubs had an ear infection, but it is going away but Apple Juice has a nasty cough with the fever so I may try and get her an appointment to just make sure.
Well I am off to pretend today will not suck that bad!

Awww...

So I just found out that the playgroup party is cancelled so I went and told Flyboy and he said, "I am bummed." I said, "really?" (He never seemed excited about it) He said, "Sure, I was looking forward to the free food!!"
Ahh.. Men!

Well nothing really to update about here. The house was appraised for what is needed to be and then the VA got a hold of it and said there was no way there was a house worth that much in the neighborhood. Most of the homes in our neighborhood are duplexes and only about 1000 sq ft. Our house is 1500 sq ft detatched 2 story home. So we will know on Monday if the VA will allow the appraisal to stay! Grrr... I feel bad for the buyers we were trying to close quick so they could move back to Ft Lauderdale before xmas. We still haven't decorated for the holidays because we are not sure when we will be moving. I want to just give up, but I am done with living in housing. I like enough here but it is frustrating to know I can afford to have my own house for what I am forfeiting to live here!

Well I am off to spend the day with Monkey she is definately in need of some one on one attention. Yesterday she disappeared for almost 2 hours, pretty normal we live on base so we let her go ride her bike with her friends. Well she gets brought home by one of her friend's moms. She is wet to her armpits. Apparently her and her friend thought it would be a good idea to go wading (to their armpits) in the St. Johns river!! This was in the long grass area where I have seen water moccasins and I am sure gators live in there too, she laughed when we told her that. She has the responsibility sheets to fill out when she misbehaves and they ask what you did, why you are in trouble, etc... well one of the questions is what do you want to do and she wrote do it again but not get caught!! Oh lordy I don't know what to do with that child. I was at work and Flyboy was really hungover so he really wasn't watching the kids when it happened! I am hoping some time with just mom will help, she is such a different kid without the other ones around. I don't think she was ready to give up only child status! I feel bad because she and I hardly ever get to hang out any more! I worked and went to school until she was almost 5, just before I had Apple Juice, I always feel bad that I didn't get to be the stay-at-home mom to just her. I hate that I was a kid when I had her and she has had to watch me grow up. Hopefully I didn't screw her up too much. I guess time will tell.
