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.

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

STARTING TO GET EMOTIONAL

last night i finally got the email that i didnt really want to see.it was telling us spouses the confirmed date of when our soldiers will be deploying.as i sat here and read it about 50 million times(ok 5 times )my eyes got all watery and i broke down and cried.it felt like my heart just sunk to the very bottom of my stomach.then later on when we were on our way to pick up my mom from the airport,i was just sitting there gazing away out the window and next thing i knew,tears began streaming down my face again.im glad it was dark already cuz i didnt want hubbins to see me.after we got back to the room and settled down,i checked to see if i had any mail and then "tried" to go to sleep.soon as closed my eyes..onceee agaiin, i broke down and cried.it feels like ive become a emotional train wreck.i told myself i wasnt gonna get this way but then it happend.i didnt really sleep well after that so now im sitting here with a pouding headache with lack of sleep trying to type down my thoughts.im gonna try to get myself outta this funk and enjoy the time i have left with him before he leaves.

FINALLY OUT OF HOUSING...

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:26:49 GMT

well we finally settled in to our room at lodging today after being SWOMPED with finishing packing up the rest of our things and putting them into storage.i feel bad cuz we were suppose to go over to a friends house yesterday who just had a baby last week but we were just sooo busy this weekend.im just glad i got to see her at the hospital but i was hoping to see her one more time before moving back home.and what makes it worse is she'll already be a year old by the time i came back to ky.

my frg still hasnt called or emailed me to inform me the actual date that the unit is suppose to deploy.at the meeting we had last week we were told that they are suppose to notify us atleast a week ahead and we were already told the date they are suppose to be in country and that is soon so im hoping they let me know ASAP.all i know is they better not leave friday cuz thats the day my mom flies in and i have never drove to nashville airport by myself and i refuse to drive there alone especially when her flight gets in at 10:00 that night..umm no thanks.

PRAYING FOR FRIENDS AND FAM BACK HOME

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:53:24 GMT

i was taking a nap earlier and i recieved a call from my mother that a tsunami/earthquake had hit american samoa and some other south pacific areas.i quickly jumped to turn on the news and seen it was like a 7.i started worrying not only cuz thats where we are from but because my in laws are still over there also.i jumped up to go tell the hubbins if he already knew and that he needs to try to get a hold of his parents and his brother who just so happends to be on leave visiting them right now.im praying that no one was seriously injured and that there wasnt too much of a major damage done to any of the islands out there.

BLAH

its looks so nice out today but im here stuck in bed feeling like ughh.all day yesterday i wanted to go do something with the hubbins and our son but it had been raining the past couple days.then later on last night one of our good friends texted to if we wanted to go to a lil bonfire and have some drinks.the crisp cool air once i stepped outside let me know that its gonna be getting really cold here in ky pretty soon.so we get there a little after 10 and head to the back of the house where everyone was at.about 20 min later it started drizzling so we headed indoors.we just chilled for a while and had some shooters the went to the back porch once the rain stopped,plus it was getting too hot in the house.it was good to just hang out before the guys leave cuz none of us can really plan anything the next 2 weekends due to the fact they can deploy sooner or later than the expected date.i woke up this morning and my body was not having it,im hoping im not coming down with the flu or something..ick!well im gonna finish watching the steelers game with the fam.
