CRAZY DAY IN FT.HOOD!

been glued to the tv all afternoon today.at about 1:30 or so a shooting took place on post that killed 7people and wounded atleast 31 others.. i believe that there were atleast 3 shooters,2 are in custody and one was killed.its bad enough we worry about our soldiers overseas and now we gotta worry about stuff like this here in the homefront.my heart goes out to those people that lost their lives today..so sad

IN THE 70'S..WTF??

its the 1st week of november and im still walkin around in shorts and sandals..lol.thats tx weather for ya.not that im complaining or anything,i'd rather be here than back in ky cuz i know its much colder over there.i dont know what is goin on with my son.one day he's doing a real good job at school,then the next day he comes back with a bad report.i explain over and over that he needs to be a good boy while he's at class.he's just starting out so i'll just give him time to adjust.my mom and had lunch at cheddars yesterday and man their food is so good and worth the price.we shared a margarita and i ended up with a to go box cuz i just could not finish my meal.i was hoping to go to houston this weekend to celebrate a friends birthday but her cousins that i was gonna carpool with had a change of plans and cant make it out there.havent heard from the hubbins all day,i hope he gets on before he heads to work.

STILL HANGING IN THERE...

apologies for the lack of posting.just havent really been in the mood lately to write down my thoughts..
my poor baby is sick.i think he caught it from one of the kiddies at school.i knew it would happen sooner or later once he started being around more kids.he had to stay home from school today cuz hes been coughin and having a runny nose since friday.i took him and my lil brother trick or treating and he couldnt even stay out long so i had my mom come bring him home..poor guy.luckily my brother had tooonss of candy so that should be enough for the both of them.in a way im kinda not feeling the holiday season approaching.this will be our 3rd thanksgiving away from eachother and 2nd xmas.and in between there is my bday so that just really blows.im just thankful that we have all this technology and that im able to talk to him on skype..thank goodness for that.hope these months hurry up.

LOUNGING

after all the constant beatiful weather we've been having here in tx since i been here,it finally decided to rain and be really cold today...bleh.all it made me wanna do is stay under the covers and sleep all day.this morning i needed to go get a copy of my sons shot records so that he can start school tomorrow after i register him.who would of thought 4 yr olds would need so much school supplies.i cant believe my little man is already starting his first year of school (pre-k actually)and his daddy isnt here to see it.while we were getting ready to leave,he asked me where he was.i see now he realizes his father is missing from us.friday im gonna go get his halloween costume.he says he wants to be the black spiderman guy or whatever.but im not really sure if i wanna get him that since he was already spiderman last year.

MISSING HIM LIKE CRAZY...

well the hubbins has finally left.still trying to be strong and so far so good.but that day he left oh my gosshhhh i was crying every 5 seconds yo.i didnt even bother wearing makeup to the deployment ceremony cuz i didnt wanna end up looking like a freaking racoon so i just had my glasses on.i could barely smile in any of the pics i was in cuz i kept getting teary eyed.im glad my mom was there with my or else i would of lost it.seeing my son cry for his daddy just broke my heart and then seeing hubbins have tears coming down my face just made it worse.once the buses were loaded and they drove away i just let it all out and my mom was right there to console me assuring everything is gonna be ok.
yesterday morning we left cambell and began our 13 hr trip back here to tx to live with my family during deployment.i feel so drained cuz i havent really got any got sleep.i was glad to get an email from him which put my mind at ease knowing that he made it there safely.thankfully im here with family and it will help me get thru this
