TOW: I Break My Foot

Isn't it pretty??? Yep it was!! I got to go to the real German
doctor and get some real neat German drugs...YAY ME!!!

Here's my story (and I'm sticking to it!!)

I volunteered to be the Outdoor Food chair at our Fall Bazaar (felt more like winter to me), it was a pain in my *** or better yet a pain in my foot.

One of my 'duties' was to set up outdoor food tents with tables and benches..Well in the setting up of the tables and benches I dropped said table on my foot. It hurt!!! I went to the EMS tent when it first happened and they said I was fine so I walked around on it for about an hour or so..it really started to hurt so I went ot talk to my friends and they looked at it and said it looked broken..Called the EMS people again and I was sent to the hospital..My knight in shining armor CARRIED me to the car and we went to the German doctor...The German doctor was so nice and FAST!!! They also gave me some great drugs..(which I thought was ibuprofen until I felt really warm and fuzzy).

Well, Steven wasn't happy that I still went back to the bazaar and finished my duties and helped out where I could because I felt I needed to!!! (the German drugs were helping too)

So I'm 'supposed' to be on a pair of crutches now, but I can't walk on them so I'm just well doing what I can until my foot starts to hurt and then I sit down and rest (I might be milking it a bit also...just saying) Just kidding Steven!!!

Veteran's Day

It's Veteran's Day...a day to thank those that have ensured that we have the freedom that we have gotten used to.

So a big THANK YOU to the Veteran's Past and Present!!!

There's a lot more I could say, but honestly this song says it all...

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for
you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

A little backstory first:

When Connor was younger and learning where his eyes, ears, nose...(you get the picture) where I taught him where his 'glutus maximus' was..he would laugh and point to his butt..too damn funny...

so, this week the remote was lost and Lizzie was looking for it...the conversation went like this...

Liz: Kat get off your glutus maximus so I can see if the remote is there.

Kat: What's a glutus maximus???

Me: Your butt...

Kat: Oh well then..it's a glutus minimus...

That's all I have for today..please go back to your regularly scheduled programming.

SLACKER--Update

Ok I'm a slacker I admit it...I'm sorry for (fill in excuse here) blah blah blah..How about we just go straight to a little update.

~~ Still working with Lizzies Daisy troop, the OCSC and Bazaar. (Amanda YOU would know this if you actually READ my blog...)

~~ Just finished mid-terms. Now I have a six page article critique due on the 14th...Can we say ughhhh....

Ok here's a linky..just link and I'll come visit ya!!

Whew!!!!

Boy sometimes you just get busy!!! When do you know too much is too much???? When you fall from exhaustion? When the kids think their life is to 'go to meetings'? I think I'm about there. I don't have a 'real' job per say but I do volunteer ALOT apparently. Why, you ask?? because if I had to stay home I'd go C.R.A.Z.Y. (Maybe I'm already there!!) What exactly do I volunteer at?? Well let's go there..

1) OCSC (for you civilians--Officer's Civilian Spouses Club--think ladies who lunch ;) ) --I do the newsletter...not too much about once a month I put it together and another day I edit and pitch it in people's mailboxes.

2) Bazaar Board--Outdoor Food Chair...We have a bazaar every year--this year I'm the outdoor food chair..I'm responsible for the outdoor food vendors..make sure everything works..blah blah blah..blah blah blah...I only did this because someone said it was 'easy'..LIARS...or should I say I've got SUCKER written on my forehead!!

3) PTSA President -- Now that is EASY simply because I have great people working with me..(should you every find this blog..thank you ladies)

4) Daisy Scout Leader -- this was only because Lizzie couldn't get in the troop unless they had another parent stepped up...however...I don't really have to do anything except come to the meetings...which I would do anyway because it's what Lizzie wanted to do.

I'm not answering my phone anymore...just in case someone asks me to do something...

Now, I've got to go make some desserts for Steven's squadron's dessert auction tommorrow...

Anything you want me to do??????? Just ask me I've got SUCKER written on my face....

AHHH life is BACK to NORMAL!!

Steven went back to work today...(Can I get a big YAY from the crowd??...only me well ok..)

I tell you I seriously NEEDED him to get the hell out of the house and leave me alone go back to work.

Yesterday no kidding...he was on my LAST nerve (one I didn't even know I had..but he was ON it!!!) he would talk and it was like someone would take their nails to the chalkboard. My skin would crawl, I'd have goosebumps up and down my body, and I would physically CRINGE!@!!!

Now don't get me wrong...I love the man, but too much time together does not do good things to us..He was trying to ASSERT HIS AUTHORITY (anyone hear Cartman from South Park there???) in this house the whole time he was home. From the I know how to do laundry (and why isn't it done every day?? but boy can he make the whites white!!) to the fighting with Katherine...

All in all....I would've had to be bailed out if he'd stayed home ANY longer..

Now back to 'real' life around here...

SIGH...it's good to be home!!

I'm so L.O.N.E.L.Y

I love the military life...seriously I do, but..All my friends are leaving me this next month...EVERY FLIPPIN ONE OF THEM. How the flip can they do this to me?? Who am I going to gossip with??? go to lunch or dinner with??

I'm going to be one lonely bugger here. I know I know..put myself out there and find new friends but it's really hard at this base...everyone around here is clicked and the people in Steven's peer group generally have no kids, so for us to go somewhere we'd have to find a babysitter and well need I remind anyone how expensive that is??? Heck Katherine..the fruit of my very own loins...charges me $3. an hour and REMINDS me of how cheap she is and how very nice she is to be doing this for me...(Extortionist!!!!!)

I do alot around the base, but I feel the people I come into contact with aren't 'real' friends...

I'm so depressed right now..It hit me at the Air Force Ball on Saturday night when I was looking around and seeing all the people with their friends, taking pictures, dancing, having fun and I had NOONE...NOONE wanted to take a picture with me...noone wanted me to dance with them...NOONE..

Ahhh sigh....

OK enough bitching...Who needs friends anyway???

HAHA I won!!!

Lookie I won a contest from 5 minutes for mom.

Go ahead and check out what I won...(Ok so Connor will get it but HEY!!! It might get me a good 5-10 minutes of quiet time around here...

Go say Hi and check out their blog also...:D..

Well, my bloggy friends...(and family...) Steven came home on Saturday evening to great fanfare..(ok just us and a couple of friends..)WE had a great first night(well except for his ability to make me feel like I haven't done ANYTHING at all all summer)

It's hard to get used to him being here...(the poor kitties had to give up their section of the bed...poor poor babies. )

He wants to take over and discipline the kids...make changes to what I've done, change things...

and NOT LET ME NAP...seriously what is wrong with that picture...

he say's "I've been off fighting the war...blah blah blah"

I say..."Hello, have you met your kids???"


We have 3 kids who I've nicknamed:

Bitchy, Whiny and he who gets into EVERYTHING....

Well, I'm just happy he's home. :D...I did miss him...I mean now they still outnumber us..but I'm up one more!!!
