Happy Halloween

Morning Campers.

Happy Halloween!!! Hope everyone has fun tonight with all the ghouls and Goblins and no one gets tricked too bad.

Thanks for the good wishes for Ryan he got the job! I think it will be good for him. Keep him busy and hopefully he will make some new friends.

Hubby has come and gone..dropped him off at 6.30 am this morning. he is flying to El Salvador today. Poor guy..his time clock is so screwed up not to mention we put the clocks back too. He will be back in Italy Friday morning. We had a great visit though and it was nice for all of us to spend a little family time together.

Not much else to write about. I need to catch up on a few things around the house.

Be safe out there..watch out for low flying broomsticks.... ;-)

Pics...

Just a few pics.. Ryan and his grandpa went to the Airshow on base yesterday.. hubby got them VIP tickets..they got to be in the front row..free food and drinks...they loved it...as you can see the weather was pretty darn perfect for flying...Ryan even got a tan....Ryan also snapped a couple of pics of the dog and one of the backyard that he got all cleaned up for Dad...;-)

Have a great monday....send some good vibes for Ryan he has an interview today for his first job..at Burgerking...LOL... he loves their cheeseburgers and it is right across the street from his school so.....

L

Reunited and it feels so good...LOL

Morning campers...

Yep. He's here. Well he was. He had to go into work for a couple of hours if you can flipping believe that shit. But am I upset? Nope because we are going out to lunch. Just the two of us. Then we are coming home to an EMPTY house...;-)

He did get to see his sister and the new baby last night. We stopped by on the way back from the airport. We visited for a little while..had a couple of beers and then came home. The kids and Cadet were all over him. And then I was.... ;-)

Anyway just wanted to let you know that he made it home...he leaves in the morning at 6am and then will be home for good in 5 weeks...nothing like a little tease to make you want more huh?

Saturday

Morning Campers.

It's a blustery, chilly damp morning here in the sunshine state. We had some serious rain last night. Probably 3 inches. Of course I watered the plants, topped up the pool and washed my car yesterday so naturally we got the first rain in well over a week!!

It's been a busy week. I  have been spending time with my sister in laws. Last night we went for mexican food and Margaritas..without the kids..that was nice as we actually got to talk. Sharon and I go way back..before I was dating her brother we went to the same school ..we talked a lot last night about how things have changed in the family..about our Mums deaths..having kids..what brats we were in school...it was fun reminiscing...

I am invited to a Halloween party tonight..a costume party...I want to go but I don't want to drive..I hate driving especially at night but I 'll see how it goes...I have 2 costumes I can choose from..one is the one I wore last year when lester and I went as Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne..I also have a black cat costume ..

The Christmas party this year for Lesters squadron is being held downtown at the Hyatt on the riverfront. I need to find something to wear. I am not a foo foo kind of a girl but I guess I am going to have to find a dress. Ewww... We already have our room booked for the night. I am really looking forward to it. Not so much the party but just being downtown ..it's gorgeous down there at christmas time..all the lights...not to mention the restaurants, shopping, moonlit boat rides along the river....bliss..

 

Speaking of hubby he will be here tomorrow...for less than 48 hours but who cares?? It will certainly be "quality" time.. ha!

I hope everyone has a great weekend.. it's the big college football rival game today downtown Jacksonville..Georgia Bulldogs versus Florida Gators....go GATORS!!!!!!!!!!

L

My five...

1. Cool weather and RAIN.....

3...Having a heart to heart with Rachel....

4.... Netflix.. I finally watched "North Country" what a truly inspirational movie..I highly recommend it

5..... My morning  time.. tea and the internet....

Swimming pools and wanna be movie stars....

Morning Campers...

How is everyone?? Glad it's Wednesday.. I work today and then am off until next wednesday.. woo hoo!!

Lots going on. The in laws are keeping me busy. As you know I spent the day with my niece yesterday..she is so darn cute. She loved getting her nails done. .. she said she felt like a movie star... ;-) She spent the entire day with me. We went to the mall where I bought her a velvet colouring poster set...we also picked up a little something for her brother and sister. We finally went back to my Father in laws about 5pm..we had plans to go out for supper...we were sitting out by the pool enjoying the fresh air...the pool was covered as it's a little chilly now..anyways..Jesse-Mae the red headed toddler was playing .. skipping around..we were all outside..she was in plain view..well I was colouring with Lillie-Jane..step mother in law (AKA the witch) was holding the baby.. mum # 1  (Sharon)was on the phone.. Mum # 2 (Amanda) had gone inside to get ready.. next thing I hear the witch screaming ..I look up and sure enough Jesse-Mae has fallen in the pool and is under the cover!!!! I kicked off my clogs and jumped in and pulled her out.. I don't think she went further than the steps that lead down to the pool but she sure was terrified..bless her!! And cold.. needless to say her Mums both freaked out and it was a lesson to everyone that even right in front of your face tragedy can happen. Which brings me to my next story.. I don't know why but drownings always happen around me.. I am a Pisces the water sign if that has anything to do with it. The first drowning happened about 10 years ago in the house we were renting. If I have told this story before I apologize. It was 10 at night and I had opened the garage door to let Rachel in ..she was being dropped off by her friends Mum..as I was saying goodbye I heard a little girl crying..whimpering really... saying "moooommmy...moooommmyyy"... and sobbing... I thought who is outside this time of night? then I thought of the family next door with the pool.. I ran out back..grabbed a chair and looked over the fence..the little girl was on a raft in the middle of the pool crying and looking in the deep end..I asked her what happened and she said "mommy is asleep in the bottom of the pool" it was then I saw the body at the bottom.. I grabbed my phone dialed 911 and ran around to the house.. I couldn't get in as the gate was locked.. long story short with the aid of the neighbours I got over the fence..dove in and pulld the lady out..she was "dead" .. bloated and not breathing.. the 911 operator talked me through CPR as I panicked and couldn't remember how to.. rescue came and they took her to the hospital..she survived..she was in a coma for a few days and suffered short term memory loss but she survived.. I got an outstanding Citizens award from the Sherrif's office for that....fast forward a few years and  man drowns on the beach right in front of us after going in to retrieve my sons tube that had floated away...dies right in front of us.... see what I mean about drownings?? It really is starting to spook me....wonder what it all means or if it is just a coincidence??

Well people I need to go get ready for work..staff meeting today...have a feeling it's going to be interesting to say the least...Happy Hump Day to all especially Gaz and Phil the thrill..don't know why but hump day always brings them to mind... ;-)

L

My five...

1. Being able to save Jesse-Mae...I get goosebumps just thinking about it...

2.. Being able to spend time with Lillie-Jane...

3... Laughing at hubby..he called me at 3am his time a little worse for wear shall we say.... LOL

4.... This beautiful weather....so nice to step outside and fill your lungs with frsh air as opposed to feeling like being hit with a wet dishrag....

5..... Hubby will be here for sure sunday..he will only be here for less than 48 hours but that's so okay....

Pics and nails...

Thought you might like to se what Lillie-Jane and I did today....

5 Things About Me That Are Peculiar But True

I constantly chew the insides of my mouth

I pick at the skin around my thumbs and have no idea when I do this until my thumbs are raw and bleeding

I love to clean and cannot stand things out of place..I know when things are moved even an inch but I do not obsess over my house being neat I just wait till everyones gone and then put things in order. When you are here I want you to be comfortable and feel at home.

I only drive in one lane..the lane in which I am going to be exiting from. I will stay in that lane all the way no matter how backed up that lane gets or how slow it's moving. I hate changing lanes. I drive my passengers crazy.

I am terrified of going to the Dr. I do not want to know if I have something wrong with me.I do not take good care of myself and I know better.

Saturday

Morning campers.

How was your friday night? mine was okay. Still didn't watch the movies. No sweat. Spent the day with the "kids" at the mall. Let's just say they both got stuff. And I am the coolest Mum on the planet right now. ;-) Glad I could treat them. We had a nice day.. went to lunch at TGIF.. the mall is full of Christmas goodies...couldn't believe it..halloween stuff on sale already and straight onto christmas..guess we'll bypass Thanksgiving..nothing too retail about that holiday so it doesn't count...kinda sad huh? I think so...hallmark did have a few Thanksgiving cards and tableware... but that was about it...

It's a little cooler here this morning thank God.. it hit 90 degrees her again yesterday.. that's Florida for ya.. blink and there will be a temperature change.. I hope it doesn't get to humid today..was hoping to have lunch outside at the pub with the girls...

I bought 8 of these yesterday.. 25% of the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen fund in support of Breast cancer. I am giving one to each of the girls at work... in honour of my darling best friend Di in UK who is bravely battling Breast cancer.. she called me the other morning to tell me her head was "tingling" and felt like someone was pulling her hair..and yes you guessed it ..it started falling out later that day... she just had her second round of chemo Thursday... my love and prayers are always with her..and with the brave women here in J Land who are also battling this... you are all an inspiration to me....

Not much else to talk about this morning...I am actually caught up on my alerts which is a good thing...not sure I am getting them all but that's a different story.. congrats to all on the Vivi nominations..all well deserved...I chose not participate but I admire those who did...and I can appreciate the hard work that went into organizing it...

Have a lovely weekend...I am reading another great book..."Madame Mirabou's School of Love" by Barbara Samuel..I can't say enough about this author..she is fabulous..she has such insight on women and her characters leap off the page and become instant friends.. did I ever tell you it is one of dreams to write a book..that and open a bookstore.... you know one of those cozy little places that serves advice along with the coffee..has someone who will read your tealeaves or tarot cards..where there is someone always knitting and the kids are welcome to crawl around your feet....men bashing would be encouraged and the kleenex free.... sounds like heaven huh??

L

My five...

1. Great books.. I was so tickled to come across the one mentioned above.. I didn't know she had a new one out...what a great treat...

2.. Treating the kids..and better still spending the day with them...

3... Biketoberfest.. not going this year but I am there in spirit guys.. have fun for me!!

4.... SIL and gang made it back from Orlando safely... I worry about them driving on our highways...

5..... All of you reading this....

TGIF

Good Morning Campers. I just love this...sums up how I am feeling this morning perfectly....;-) Sorry...just had to go there!!  I am missing my hubby and can't wait for next weekends conjugal..... maybe we'll even get a hotel room.... ;-)

So what are your plans this weekend? I am shopping with the boy today. ( Teacher in service day= no school) He needs some new clothes. We'll probably go to lunch too. Tomorrow I am meeting the girls from Urgent Care for drinks at the pub by the river. My SIL and crew should be back from Orlando tonight so I am sure we will be hanging out too. It's nice to have plans... I am turning into a hermit and that is not a good thing... I am usually very very social but I seem to be a bit lost at the moment... I know it probably seems that I go out and do a lot more than a lot of people but trust me when hubby is home we usually have plans every single weekend...and I miss being part of our group.. I am as much to blame as they are for not staying in touch and I am not sure how to rectify that... I did get a bit of an attitude... I was feeling like they only want me when hubby is around but I realize that is not really true.. he makes more of an effort than I do... if someone calls me and suggests doing something I am all for it but I don't like to be the one to do the calling.... fear of rejection? maybe.. who knows..God I am rambling on aren't I?  too much caffeine.....

I went shopping yesterday... got some cute cargo pants from Old Navy.. a couple of Henley shirts, a new Tart warmer (sounds like a porno huh? ) actually the tart warmer melts these candles (tarts) and the whole house smells delicious.. I got an electric one.. you can melt the tarts using a tea light but I prefer the electric ones... Got a couple of kitchen towels in bright Mexican colours from World Market...also returned the books I told you about... got Cadet groomed..took Ryan for his orthodontist appointment...came home and made enchiladas for supper then watched Greys Anatomy...love that show...and real World /Road Rules challenge.... I was so glad somebody finally decked Beth.. hate that stupid drama queen..I may be the oldest person watching MTV reality shows but I can't help it!! Have been a fan ever since the very first Real World season...speaking of age.. Rachel's "friend' called here yesterday.. I answered the phone.. he thought it was Rach... told Rach "your Mum doesn't sound like a Mum..she sounds so young"... do voices have ages??? LOL The only thing I didn't get to were my movies.. but that's the beauty of Netflix...I am sure I will get to the eye candy at some point this weekend.. ;-)

Well I have just rambled on and on about absolutely nothing so I will be off.. have a great weekend.. and I hope somebody gets some of that up there in my pic... ;-)

 

L

My five...

1. Retail therapy....

2.. Yankee Candles (tarts).. my house smells like I baked all morning...apples and cinnamon...yum!!

3...Accepting blame...

4....IM with my sister this morning.. she is nervous driving on her own..bless her....

5.....Weekend plans....

Pics and belated birthday wishes...

Morning Campers.

Hope everyone is doing good this morning. I just received these pics from my cousin in UK. It was my Aunty Edna's 70th Birthday and they threw her a surprise party. Happy Belated Birthday Aunty E!!

Big day for my sister yesterday..she passed her driving test at the ripe old age of 39...go sis!! I am so proud of her... there will be no stopping her now... she is really into E Bay and does so well at it that she has given up her full time job to devote more time to this. hence the reason for learning to drive. She had to rely on my dad to take her to Boot Sales etc... on the weekend..now she can go whenever she wants. Go sue!! 

I have a lot to do today... need to take Cadet in to be groomed...return some books that I have already read... hate it when they change the covers of these books and make you think you haven't read them.... also need a filter for the water purifier in the fridge...going to give the house a good cleaning... do some laundry.. have a couple of movies I need to watch from Netflix.. "North Country" and "Alfie"..the new version of Alfie with Jude Law... he is so cute..too skinny for me but still cute... ;-)

Very James dean huh? dam..skinny or not he is flipping hot!!

Have a great thursday!!!

6 month anniversary

Forgot to mention today is my 6 month Anniversary of keeping this Blog...how time flies when you're having fun... I have made so many great friends out there in J land...you guys have helped me get through what could have been a very long and boring few months with hubby on the other side of the world...thank you for your support..all the laughs and the fellowship...I can't imagine my life without you all in it now..but that leads me to one very puzzling question....JUST WHAT DID I DO WITH MY TIME BEFORE ALERTS??????

Tuesday Morning

Morning campers.

It's a dreary tuesday morning here. Cloudy.. cool temps ... and I love it! I am off today. I have a lot to do. thought I was coming down with a cold yesterday but think it might just be allergies as I am feeling okay today..little tired and a runny nose but okay.

Ryan and I have been having some heart to heart talks and I  think he is beginning to realise how his choice of friends has effected this family. While he himself may not have done anything wrong allowing his friends to come into our house and violate us is just as bad. I have grounded him, taken away his cell phone and online privliges. I want him to take some time to think. It's working..he and and his sister made dinner last night. We hung out as a family. Felt good. Can't wait for hubby to get home as well and take Ryan under his wing a little bit. Maybe that's what he needs a little male bonding. I am getting a family membership to the YMCA as well so they can go work out together. I won't give up on him because he is a good kid just kinda lost right now. It's up to me to get him back on track.

My sister in law and family are here from UK. staying at my father in laws. The new baby is gorgeous. A right healthy little thing. I will get pics. I think we are going shopping today. They love shopping over here..they go absolutely crazy..the prices are just too good to pass up. Usually about half of what they pay at home and twice the variety.

Hubby is traveling again this week. Prayers for him for safe flights. He is going to Romania, Bulgaria and somewhere else I forget. He is doing good and in great spirits.  looking forward to our conjugal at the end of the month... ;-)

Work is going good. We were busy yesterday. But I was really not feeling so good. Just didn't feel like talking. But I "faked" it and got through the day. Gave endless Flu shots. Hate giving them to the skinny old ladies who have no muscle... but they never complain. Bless 'em....

Well I have rambled on enough here this morning..have a great tuesday everyone....

L

My five good things...

1. Hot tea and toast....

2.. Waking up feeling better.. I HATE being sick..have no time for it...

3... The view driving over the bridge to work yesterday morning...the water was like glass and the sun reflecting off it...beautiful...

4.... Babies.....

5..... all of you reading this this morning....

Saturday

Morning campers.

I did do an entry yesterday and where it went I have no idea and at this point I don't really care. I am beyond pissed off with my son and his so called friends. I was asleep last night and woke up to hear my daughter yelling. I go out in the living room to find out her rings are missing from the bathroom where she just took them off and there were 2 girls who had just used the bathroom. They are the girlfriends of Ryan's friends. I did not know they were even here. I guess they were outside talking  and asked to come in to use the bathroom. Well me and my daughter know one of these girls has the ring. Niether one will fess up. The smallest one is trying to leave out the front door..I was yelling at her to give the ring up..the other girl who I know better and don't think would do it is getting all hysterical..we make the girls turn out their pockets of course nothing but we know the ring is there somewhere..my daughter is getting ready to lay into the girl..I lost my temper and cussed the girl out..she ran out the door..I grabbed her and tried to stop her...then the boys get involved...my son goes apeshit..can't believe this is happening to him again.. to him?? excuse me!!  I threw his arse in his room and told him to stay there.. the boys are getting all riled up...I told them if I do not have the ring back in my pocession today I am turning them all over to the detective...boys and girls...I am hoping that they have the sense to give the rings back..one was a cheapy but the other was a diamond and that's the one Rachel is freaking out about and I don't blame her.... little do they know I am giving their names to the detective anyway but I am trying to get the ring back first..the other break in was never proven but this time I was home and only 2 people went in that bathroom so I am not dropping it. My son is grounded. he cannot keep subjecting us to this. I feel so bad for Rachel... she is good to Ryan and his friends...she lost all her jewelry before..this was all she had left...things are going to change around here...if I have to send Ryan away somewhere I will...I can't live like this anymore....

Vent over.

It was my brothers birthday yesterday. Happy birthday Martin! I tried calling him but he was out..the time difference makes it hard sometimes.

Hubby will be home for 2 days on the 29th  ;-) he got the book I sent him. Can't wait to see him. Then we he goes back only about 5 weeks till he is home for good.

Well I don't have a whole lot to say today.. I am not feeling very good about myself right now...I don't know where I went wrong with this boy but it it is never too late to change and I hope I get get his life back on track....I feel like I have failed somehow.. I am fed up, tired, lonely and just plain old sad.

Wednesday "Hump Day"

Morning Campers.

How's everyone. I am behind on alerts so if you haven't heard from me that's why!! This working every day puts a cramp in my online time..LOL

So far this morning I have done 2 loads of laundry, put a beef stew in the crock pot to simmer all day, made cornbread , made the beds, ironed my uniform and a shirt for Ryan, got him off to school and now I am off to work a 10 hour shift at the clinic and we got our Flu shots in so I will probably be giving shots all day along with our regular schedule...

Being busy is a good thing....

I will be back tonight to do a proper entry.. have a great Hump day.... smiles at Gaz... ;-)

L

My five...

1. Being organized...

2.. House smells so darn good right now...

3...Jewelry party at work yesterday..got some cute stuff..pics later...

4.... Having the reeceptionist at work tell me yesterday that she wishes I worked every day all the time... ahhhhh....

5..... hilarious e mails from my hubby...shhh.. don't tell anyone but we might be getting a conjugal visit at the end of the month.... :-P

Mondays Musings...

Go Jags!!! That's all I got to say about that... LOL

So it's Monday Morning...hate mondays..especially ones that are a "holiday".. Only if you work for the Government are you off...other wise it's a regular day .. even the kids are in school down here....but the traffic will be light..always a bonus... ;-)  I am working 4 days in a row this week..got myself organized yesterday.. have the menu for the week planned...being out of the house 12+ hours a day you have to do that...I don't get in till 7.30pm at the earliest...and I just realized that it will be getting dark when I drive home...ewwwww hate that....anyway I am ready.. I truly don't know how you all do it every day... I am happy with my 20 to 30 hours a week...12 hour days 4 days a week is just too much for me..but then I am the oldest one in the office and the only one who is doing it alone...with hubby away..you know what I mean...anyway kudos to all of you who are working full time and holding down the fort at home....my hats off to ya!!

There seems to be so much negativity in J Land these days..so much sadness, illness, hard times, worries, stress etc etc I guess it's inevitable just as in "the real world" but it breaks my heart... I wish I had a magic wand and could wave it and have everyone happy, healthy, and content.  And just like the real world I know that's not possible....but I can dream huh? By the way I am not for one nano second complaining just observing...your Journals are for you to write in as you wish and I am glad you share your lives..the good and the bad...it just seems that there is a lot of suffering going on and I am sorry for that....and I wish everyone happier and healthier times ahead....it makes me realize just how lucky I am and not to take things for granted...

Hope everyone has a great week...

Thursday

Morning Campers.

How is everyone on this fine Thursday morning? I see AOHell is playing up again.. I didn't get some of the alerts yesterday. Oh well some is better than none huh?

I am off today. I am taking the car in for an oil change. Other than that I don't have any plans. I have a movie I need to watch from NetFlix. I watched "Lake House" the other night. I was really disappointed. Thought it was slow and predictable. Eye candy was good though. Kieanu Reeves has still got it. ;-)

My sister in law is coming over next week from UK with her family. She is bringing the latest addition to the Hatfield clan. I think I have talked about her before here. She and her partner Amanda have had 3 children by the same sperm donor. The new baby is the first boy. My SIL had Lillie Jane first..she is 6, then Amanda had Jesse Mae, she is 2 and now Mackenzie Lee he is 4 months. they may be a different family from the norm but I have never seen more loving parents. I can't wait to get my hands on that baby...I love babies. Makes everything in the world seem right when you hold a little baby and take in that baby smell...ahhhhhhhhh!!

Kids and hubby are doing well. Speaking of hubby it's a small world. I had a patient yesterday who used to be in the same squadron as hubby. he noticed my accent and said he used to be in the Navy with a British guy...yep you guessed it it was my hubby!! He immediately started calling me Maam after that..LOL..makes me feel old when guys do that....before that I do believe he was flirting with me...well I can dream anyway... ;-)

Well I need to get off of here...have a lovely day people...

Wednesday

Morning Campers.

Gosh time flies when  your having fun huh? Has it really been that long since I wrote in here?? Nothing too exciting going on. Weather has been gorgeous so I have been spending more time outside. Reading by the pool and puttering about in the yard. Been chatting to hubby a lot too...he is back in Italy and able to call from his room... he is back off traveling next week...we are getting so excited for his homecoming...I have told him to go shopping and find me some lovely Italian goodies... ;-)  he is actually useless at shopping but shhhhhhhh don't tell him I said that... I gave him a few pointers though so he should be okay....

I'll be back later to write a proper entry...I am working 3 days this week and all week next week as one of the MA's is off to Mexico for a week... lucky cow...

Happy Hump Day....

By the way... how bloody sad is the news this week?? I don't know what the world is coming to...truly disheartening...<shaking my head>
