It's been a real long time since I have been on here. I've been really busy since I was last on here. I've moved and got a new puppy. Someone stole my other two dogs. It took me a while to be able to have another one after that happened. My husband and I are getting along great. I don't think Iraq changed him for the bad. He does have a few nightmares and threatens to throw wrenches at me, or fusses because the parts won't work all while sleeping, lol. Other then that it's going really good. I see that a lot of my old friends aren't on here anymore. I hate to see that I really enjoyed their posts. I hope this finds everyone doing well and I am glad to be back.

Derek's home now and already driving me crazy!! Lol, it's nice having him here to do that. We are in the process of moving back to his old unit. It will be nice to be back near Jacksonville. He just left to take a load of junk to the new house. It won't be long and we will be settled in. It's nice to be back to normal well as normal as it gets. He's thinking about staying in the Marines but only if he doesn't have to go back to Iraq. I'll live through another deployment but I don't know if he could deal with it again. It did put a lot of stress on us but he knows now that I am here for him no matter what. We have been through a lot. I'm not going any where. Other then that it's been pretty nice now that he's home. They sent him to the wrong place when he got home so I had to drive to Jacksonville to get him after I waited for him for three hours in Cherry Point, lol. That's ok though just took me a little longer to get to him. His dad did get to come out to see him come home. Derek was so glad to see his dad. Well, gotta finish cleaning. Hope all is well with everyone.

Well that pretty much says it all, lol. My husband will be home soon thank god. I'm counting the days. I can't wait. I know that there will be times that we are wanting to kill each other because all of the stress and everything but I don't care as long as he's here. We have always had a easy time dealing with stress though. We go out riding we might not say anything the whole time we are in the truck but by the time that we get out of it we are cooled down and ready to talk about it. He has 5 days of classes and then we get to spend some time together. It's just going to be hard getting use to sharing the bed with someone again. I don't think Gretchen and Chevelle (my dogs) are going to like having to get out the bed for a man, lol. They don't like sharing mommy that's one more thing we are going to have to over come, lol. I can't wait though. Not long now!!!

Well, if going to a funeral and having to see some of the people I love the most in so much pain wasn't enough. I call around trying to get the money to get back home and finally after the Red Cross and Navy Marine Relief didn't help a friend of mine sent me 200 bucks to get me home. Thank god for good friends. Then I come home get home and my cats are gone and I get aressted for abandoning them. I had someone coming out there to check on them. There were not mine and I don't know why they were there. Someone broke in my house and stole my Dads wedding ring among other things and trashed the house but I am the one that got in trouble for it. I'm staying at a friends house till this weekend and hopefully I can find a house to get moved into. Now his command is willing to help me out after I cussed them out and told them that it was bull that you can't live on base and not have someone breaking into your house. It's also against "their" law to have your dog on a choke chain unless you are using it for training and that is the only time it can be on them. I would like them to try to walk my dog or put a collar on her it last 5 seconds and it's broke. I will be so glad when all my junk is out of that house and I don't have to go back. Thank god we were moving to Jacksonville anyway. I like it better here (Jacksonville). Well, one good thing is my husband should be home in a few weeks!! Can't wait.

Well, I'm heading out Thursday morning for TN. I am meeting Derek's dad and then we are heading to Mississippi. They are letting Derek come home so he can be with his grandfather. I hope the hotel has Internet, or the hospital I think that is where I'll be most of the time. Everybody stay safe and I'll be back soon.

I guess my mom was right when she told me bad things happen in three. Well, Heather a friend of mine is in PA her grand father is passing away. Derek's grandfather is passing away. Another friend of mine is sitting at the hospital with her mom. She has to have a operation on her heart. She had a heart attack yesterday. She called me today and it's funny because it's such a small world. One of my best friends ( I've known since I was 10) mothers are her nurse. So she is in good hands that is for sure. I have two of her kids at the moment. I haven't had a little one to take care of in a long time. It's wierd when it's not one of your own, lol. I love them to death that's not the thing it's getting use to having a two year old again. I'm not use to it. Mine are ten and eight so it's been a long time since I had to take care of a little one. I am learning it all over again. It's easier when you have had them since birth I know that. Then when they talk to you, you kinda know what they are talking about. Oh well I got all week to learn it I guess. Or he'll just keep yelling at me till I hand him the right thing, lol.

Well, we had a really bad thunderstorm today. I seem to be finding out that, that is what Cherry Point is good at getting. We don't just get rain it's a thunderstorm. Well, I had one of my son's friends knocked on the door in the middle of the storm wanting to know if he could come inside. His parents went to New Bern and left him here without any supervision. So here I am trying to figure out what to do with this kid while he walks around the house asking fifty million questions. Well, I started cooking dinner and I thought that maybe after it was done they would be home and then I would come back and we could eat. Well, went and checked and nope still not home. By this time it's dark outside and I'm getting pretty upset that someone would just leave their kid in the neighborhood with no one watching him. He's only 10. Well, we came home and ate I left my phone number on their door. Here it is almost nine at night and they are nowhere to be seen. I just drove by their house again and they are not there. The neighbors are going to think that I am stalking them or something, lolThe bad thing is this isn't the first time this has happened. We have had a few kids come to our house because they got home and their parents were gone or their parents left when they were outside playing. When I was growing up my parents had to know everything about you before we stayed with you. They wanted to know your background, who you know, who knows you, blood type, religion everything, lol. Now a days people just drop their kids off and don't care. Housing sucks, well at least half of these people out here do. There is one woman who lets her daughter outside by herself (she's two) and you'll see her riding around the neighbor hood on her big wheel in her panties. The little boy across the street runs around the yard with no clothes on. He's almost 4. What has happened to parents these days???

Well, Derek calls his family all the time. Not as much as he calls me but just about. Well, his sister called me yesterday and told me that their dad wants me to tell Derek that his grandpa is dieing. Ok question? Why is it always me that has to tell him the bad news. I am always the one that has to hear his heart breaking. I know they don't want to do it but why make me the bad guy all the time. Derek is going to get where he's afraid to call me because he is afraid to find out what has happened next. Derek isn't as stable as he was before he left. I love my husband but him and I both know that when he gets back this time he's going to have to talk to someone. Things are really getting to him this time. We had been trying to have a baby for a long time before he left and two months before he left we found out we were going to have a baby. Well the doctors said it was most likely the stress and everything from getting everything ready and him leaving caused me to lose the baby. Ever since then Derek just hasn't been himself. I feel that part of it is because of me and Iraq. I feel that a great part of it is because his family isn't really here when he needs them the most. He loves them don't get me wrong but I think right now the kids and I are pretty much all he has. Him and I might fight like hell, which we have been doing a lot lately, but we are always there for each other. When I lost my sweet cat Bobby. Derek called me three times and day and still found time to get online to make sure that I was ok. Now when he needs his family they are no where to be seen. He has tried calling at least 10 times and they won't answer for him but they can call me five min later and have something for me to tell Derek. I thought family was supposed to be there for you when you needed them? I don't know but it doesn't sound like they are to me. AHHHH!!! I just want to get my hands on them and shake them and ask them what the hell is wrong with them. The only time you want to have anything to do with him is when he is doing something for you. Ok sorry about that. I just needed to vent. I won't vent to Derek that is not what he needs right now.

Well, Derek should be home in around a month. I've been cleaning to stay busy but I have ran out of things to clean and I never thought that would happen, lol. I have kids and anyone with kids knows you never run out of things to do. I wonder what I have to do to get them to mess something up so I have to clean it again, lol. I've even cleaned the yard. I cut grass twice a week and edge and all that good junk and there is nothing left to do. I can't take my dog out its to hot for that. She gets hot easy anyways. I think that it's the bull dog in her. I don't even know what to do, lol. I seen the people who got Kilo the other day and he's doing good. Spoiled which I am glad. I'm not mad at him for what he did. He was just being a dog. I tried explaining that to my kids. Cats kill rabbits and mice and we don't get mad at them. My son has been going to foot ball practice and yesterday he went to the chili festival. He stays busy. My little girl goes out and plays with the girls all afternoon. They seem to like school this year. Which figures because we are moving again. I really don't feel like moving again but I guess it's part of the military life. You never know where you are going to go. At least it's closer to my family. I'm trying to enjoy it while I can. I'll be moving to TN in a year. I really don't want to now but it's where his family is and he gave them up for four years so I owe it to him. I've never been away from my family that long so I don't know how I am going to handle it. I know it's going to be hard on me but it's really going to be hard on the kids. They aren't going to want to be away from their grandparents or my brother. I'm going to miss my family but it's going to be leaving my brother that is going to kill me. He's 14 and says that when he gets old enough he's moving with me. I would let him I told him the door will always be open for him. Mom is going to fly him out every summer. That's going to be great. At least then I will have him with me. Well, enough about this hate when I get all teary eyed and junk, lol. I gotta go find something else to clean. Maybe I'll rearrange the house.

Well, my husband called today to see how it is going with the new cat, which I named Bobby II. I told him very well actually. Bobby II has turned out to be a wonderful cat. He sits in my lap while I'm on the computer and if I stop petting him he'll lay across the keys so I can't type and have to pet him. He has turned out to be very loving. When I went to drop off the carrier they let me use to take him home in they were so happy that I got him. His time was up this Friday. So I guess it was meant to be. Then my husband asked me what I was doing. I told him I was coming back from the other animal shelter after picking up Bobby's ashes. He asked me if I was sprinkling them over the yard and I told him no that I was taking them home to sit in the window sill. He asked me why and I told him because that is where Bobby loved to sit and watch the birds and the squirrel. The next thing that popped out of his mouth almost made me die laughing. He said I was crazy that he had never heard of anyone keeping their dead cats ashes or even having their cat cremated. I told him that lots of people do it, I think, lol. He's from the mountains of TN and that's not how they do it out there I guess, lol. I won't bury my cat back home because I'm moving to TN next year and having him here. Even though its not him kinda eases the pain a little. Then Bobby two helps a lot. I know I sound crazy but Bobby was a gift to me from my husband. (Even though I got him and my husband didn't know I was coming home with a cat I was told to get a dog, lol) We haven't been able to have a child and are going to specialist now and Bobby was my baby. My two kids are 10 and 8 and don't need their mom as much as the use to and Bobby was always there for me to take care of. He even let me put clothes on him. That was a joke I did to my husband. Bobby was great company to me while my husbands been gone and has been an important part of my life. I think this will conclude me talking about him now. I think this has helped me a lot with dealing with the loss of what feels like my child. My husband thought of him as a cat but to me he was something special. I have only had a bond like that with one other cat before him and I got that cat when I was 7 and he passed away when I was 24. I had him for 17 years. He was my best friend growing up. Then Bobby now Bobby II. I have already got to where Bobby II is my baby, lol. He cries when I leave and sits in my lap all day long. If I'm up and moving around he will sit where he can watch me. Well, enough writing for me now I'm going to go play with the kids.

Well took Bobby this morning to get cremated he'll be home tomorrow morning. When I left from dropping him off they called me and told me that they had something that they wanted me to see. I turned around and went back and they took me to the cat room and I almost had a heart attack. There sitting in the same cage I got Bobby out of when I got him was a cat that looks just like him. I almost fell over. He was so beautiful. The only thing different other then it not being Bobby is that this cat had a tail. He acts just like him and meow's just like him. If you really pay attention to your cats like I do they all have a different meow. This new cat is just like Bobby. He's just as loving as Bobby was. He'll never take Bobby's place but he is a good reminder. My kids are happy they are like "Mommy it's like Bobby never left and he grew a tail." That is so cute!!!! I'm glad that they are happy with him. I couldn't leave him there in the pound. I was afraid that he would get put down. Lol, listen to me making excuses. Well, my husband isn't mad at me for getting him that is the good thing. He just said what ever makes me happy.

The picture I have on my profile is of my bobby. I found him this morning and he has passed away. I have never cried so much in my life. I got kilo my Husky almost a month ago and I loved him very much but had to take him to the animal shelter that I got him from today. I had to take my son to the hospital last night and I lock Kilo and Moo, my best friends dog, in the back of the house so that the don't destroy the house. I didn't notice that bobby was back there. My daughter found him this morning and told me that something was wrong with bobby that he was sleeping weird. When I got back to the room I noticed that he wasn't breathing and that he had passed. The dogs had attacked him. It sounds gross but he's in the freezer right now. I'm taking him in the morning to get cremated. I can't leave him here. We are moving here in a month or so and I can't leave him here or throw him away. I'm bringing him with me. He belongs with me. He was one of my children and my best snuggle partner. I'm going to miss him so much. It feels weird sitting here on the computer and him not sitting on my lap or popping me to get my attention. It's just a really sad day for me. Its bad when my kids have to hold me together and a friend of mine has to drive an hour out here to help me wrap him to get him in the freezer. I couldn't touch him, it was one of the worst feelings I have ever been through. Well enough for now. My husbands online I gotta tell him whats going on.

Heather called me friday and told me that we lost a guy that was in the shop next to her husband. Her husband is in Iraq with mine. I told her to come over and we were getting outta Cherry Point for the weekend. So we went to a friends house. We decided to stay out at his house a do a little drinking. So we went to the ABC store and got us a cheap bottle of wiskey. A gallon of Evan Williams. We aren't sit around the house drinkers so we went out side and started drinking out there. Moved to the garage because there is music out there. Two friends showed up and we all set around and drank for a little while. By that time I noticed I was a little drunk and decided to go inside. I guess I didn't notice how drunk. I never came back out side that I know of, lol. I woke up in the morning and didn't feel to hot. I remember most of what happened but a few things were missing in there somewhere. Like where I put my cig. and where my drink went and all of that good stuff. I told my friend that we didn't drink that much so we decided that night after we got all the kids to sleep we were going to finish off that gallon. So all of us went outside to finish off that bottle. Ha guess I drank more then I thought because there wasn't very much of it left. I didn't know I could drink that much. I kinda feel bad about it because usually I don't do things like that. I pay attition to how much I drink and all of that. I guess everything built up and I kinda need it. I know I am never drinking Evan Williams again though, lol. I'm sticking with my Jack, Jim, and Wild Turkey. Maybe a few other things but not Evan Williams. I think next weekend I'll stick to my Bud Light.

Well, didn't do much this past weekend set up a playdate for the dogs and for the kids. I learned Gretchen doesn't play well with others, lol. Gretchen is the queen of the house and my other dog Kilo knows that. Heather brought her dog Moo, short for Moose, over and she didn't like that to much. She got better the day that they left and she noticed that she gets locked up if she's not nice. So that was a quick tip for her. After Heather left Kilo sat at the window and fussed about Moo being gone. He keeps going to the window and fussing. He's the type that will talk to you if he is mad, or wants something and he's been doing it all day, lol. Well, I took the kids back over to a friend of mines house and let all the kids play. There was about 12 head of them again. They had a blast and I ended up thrown in the pool again by a 10 year old. It blows my mind how big kids are getting these days. All the kids these days are my size and they are like 10 and I'm 26. I hate to see how big they are going to be when they get my age. Well, enough for now. Gotta finish washin clothes.

Well, I met Heather through Derek's units website and very glad I did. There is nothing to do out here but it's better to have someone there to have nothing to do with, lmfao. Well, we have been to the beach three times this week and took the kids. They had a blast and Heather has actually got me to go into the water past my knees. I do not like the ocean. I like looking at it and maybe getting my toes wet or whatever but as far as swimming in it, I'll pass. I don't like knowing that there are things bigger then me in there that can take off a leg or arm or something. I also don't like the undertow thing. I am so bad that the kids don't get to go past their knees. That was until Heather came around. Derek has been trying his best to get me out there but I wouldn't go. He even took me out there kicking and screaming, lol. Well we were out there yesterday having a blast. You can go out to where it's waist deep, on me I'm only 5 foot 2 and then there is a sand bar and the water is only mid way between your knees and ankles. Well the waves crash a little harder right there and it was so much fun until bathing suits are lost, lol. One really good wave hit us and knocked us like 20 foot and took our bathing suits with it, lol. It was so funny. I was telling my husband about it and he was laughing his butt off. He's glad that I met someone just like me. She's from PA and I'm from good ole NC, lol. Other then that we act just alike. We are both big kids. Derek doesn't think that there is enough room on this earth for two of me but now I guess there is. Next we are going to hit the slip and slide. Put a little dish liquid on it and we're flying, lol. Now I got to get her to sit in the kiddie pool and drink with me, lol.

I got the best news yesterday. I'm heading back to Jacksonville. Thank god. It's ok here in Havelock but Jacksonville actually has things. We are going back to New River Air station which is where I wanted to be anyways. I like it because New River is little. It sits right next to Camp Lejeune which is huge but it's nice and I know a lot of people out there. It will be nice going back. I lived there for almost 2 years when I met Derek. He got stationed out here so we got married and I moved out here and it sucks. I hate having to drive so far if I need to buy something. Where I am from we are in the country but we don't have to drive for 45 min to get to anything, and we have a real Mall, lol. If you have been to New Bern you know what I'm talking about. Well, time for me to get packing I am so happy now!

This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad. It makes you truly thankful for not only the Marines,but ALL of our troops. THE MARINE We all came together, Both young and old To fight for our freedom, To stand and be bold. In the midst of all evil, We stand our ground, And we protect our country From all terror around. Peace and not war, Is what some people say. But I'll give my life, So you can live the American way. I give you the right To talk of your peace. To stand in your groups, and protest in our streets. But still I fight on, I don't bitch, I don't whine. I'm just one of the people Who is doing your time. I'm harder than nails, Stronger than any machine. I'm the immortal soldier, I'm a U.S. MARINE! So stand in my shoes, And leave from your home. Fight for the people who hate you, With the protests they've shown. Fight for the stranger, Fight for the young. So they all may have, The greatest freedom you've won. Fight for the sick, Fight for the poor Fight for the cripple, Who lives next door. But when your time comes, Do what I've done. For if you stand up for freedom, You'll stand when the fight's done. By: Corporal Aaron M. Gilbert, US Marine Corps USS SAIPAN, PERSIAN GULF

Well, I didn't know how the kids would take the first day of school. Must have been good though Jonathan walked through the door fussing about homework. But once he looked at it and started doing it he liked it. Shannon walked through the door and talked about her NEW boyfriend. Here we go. She is just growing up to fast. I took them to the beach and to go and play with a friend of mines kids this weekend. They had a blast. I went out Friday to hang out with old friends to a bar in Jacksonville, Tarheels. Got my sister to bring the kids out. Went riding bikes sat. night. That was fun. I watched 12 kids sat and Sunday. They all spent the night Sunday. The first think my husband asked was if it scared me from ever wanting kids again. It actually made me want them more. They were really good kids. They ranged in age from 3 to 10. So they weren't to bad. We went to the beach for a little while yesterday. We got sand blasted. It wasn't easy walking two dogs too. Kilo went one way and Gretchen went the other way. Then they decided to switch sides a few times and got their leashes tangled up. I was getting dragged every where. I didn't get the doberman. My husband took out some of the money to get him so I went to the Humane society out here and wasn't going to get one but there was this dog out there that really caught my eye. He's a two year old husky, who is fully trained. He's a good boy. Gretchen actually likes him. My husband is making me get rid of my cats because he hates cats. He's allergic too. It sucks because I love my cats so much but I love my husband more I guess, lol. His dad is getting my big cat Bobby that way I can still see him. I like my cats but Bobby is my baby. Well, that is enough for now. I'm hitting the bed got a early day tomorrow.

Wow, today feels weird, without the kids here. I took them to school so they could find their classes easier but they could have done it by themselves. We came to my little girls class first, she is the shy one. She wasn't sure about walking in but I told her she knew most of the people that she should go ahead and walk in. She looked at me and went "Okay mommy" and walked in like it was nothing. My son done to me what he done to me on his first day of Kindergarten. Just walked off like it was cool. He seen that a friend from last year was there and he just walked off and left me after yelling awsome, lol. That's my boy though. He's very independent. Doesn't need anyone or so he thinks. Wow it just is two quiet without them here. Well, I'm going to clean I guess. Can't think of what to do with them gone, lol. I'll let you know how their day went when I get back on here. I think I'm going to call Heather and see if she wants to go to the beach.

Date: 11 Jul 2007, 13:44You stay up for 16 hours He stays up for days on end.  You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water.  You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.  You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.  You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.  You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.  You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.  You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.  You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He doesn't get to eat today.  Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes. He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.  You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.  You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.  You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.  You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.  You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.  You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.  You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him. He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.  You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the broken bodies lying around him.  You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.  You stay at home and watch TV. He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.  You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable. He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.  iMG SRC="http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/images/blackhawkdown1.jpg" />

Ever since Derek left my son has had a really bad attitude problem. I have tried everything to get him to change and I'm afraid that it is going to end up to late to keep him outta trouble. He has a bad problem with not listening when you tell him or ask him to do something. My mom said it's a phase that he is going through but if all little boys acted like that no one would have kids, lol. His problem right now is that he misses home. He's 10 years old and has never really been away from home. When we lived in Jacksonville we would go back home every weekend. Now we live three hours away and don't have the money to go back home every weekend and he misses family. Well, he went to stay with his grandpa for the last two weeks and now that I finally got him back he doesn't want to stay. He wants to go back home and live with my dad, or with my mom. It broke my heart. He says he wants to be with me but he wants to move back home. Sometimes he gets to where he gets violent towards his sister and gets an attitude with anyone who thinks differently from him. I have tried everything. I've put him in the corner, took away his toys and video games, wouldn't let him go out to play, I've even spanked him. I don't like spanking my kids but sometimes there is no other choice. I don't know what to do with him anymore. Don't get me wrong he has his good moments where he is the most loving child. He will cuddle with me on the couch and watch movies. Sometimes he comes and climbs in the bed with me early in the mornings and cuddles with me and tells me how much he loves me and that I'm the best mom. I don't know if he is just going through home sickness or if he is bipolar like the rest of us in this family. I just don't know how he is going to handle being in TN. We are going to go from 3 hours away to 9. Hopefully we can keep him busy enough to where it won't be so hard on him. Sometimes I just don't know what to do with him. Maybe it will get better when Derek gets home and he has someone to talk to that's a guy. Well, if anyone has any suggestions about what i could do feel free to tell me. I need all the help I can get on this one.

TennesseeThe owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from the University of Tennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?" The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everything but my earrings." Alabama A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied. "You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired. "A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!" Louisiana A senior at LSU was overheard saying... "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana." When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world. Mississippi The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?" The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got his license number." Georgia A Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-75. The trooper asked, "Got any I. D.?" The driver replied, "Bout whut?" North Carolina A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, "I have a flat tire." The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don't make sense to me neither." And this from South Carolina "You can say what you want about the South, but I ain't never heard of anyone retiring to the North!

Well, it's almost time for Derek to come home. I can't wait, I am like a little school girl right now. As each day passes the happier I get. There isn't a way to really explain this feeling. It's like meeting him all over again. I know I still love him it's just going to be weird learning each other all over again. I was independent when he met me but I'll be more independent now that he's been gone for so long. I'm use to everything running the way I want it, lol. I guess I'll have to give as much as he has. It'll be weird having someone around to help me with the kids too. I know it's going to be different for him to. Now he's not in the desert, not in that hell anymore. I'll be there for him I just know it's going to be hard getting him use to everything again. He said even though he's only been there a short time (long as hell to me) that it seems like he's been there for years. He said it's going to be hard to get use to the sounds and everything. He said over there the least little sound wakes him up. You don't know what's going on from one moment to the other and that he has seen some bad shit. Shit that no one should ever have to see. My biggest worry is not knowing how he is going to take being home. Getting use to the noises and how things work here now. I got everything very organized and would like to keep it that way. I know him be gone is a big test on our relationship but I think this is going to be an even bigger test. It's going to be hard. But hey I'm a Marines wife I agreed to handle this when I said I do. Wow, I can't get over the fact I only got two more months and my baby is going to be home where he belongs. I already got his first meal home planned out. The only thing he's talked about was missin my steak and taters, lol. So I'm gonna cook him a good T-bone (his fave), and some taters, make him some banana puddin and a apple butter cake. I gotta put some weight back on him. He told me he's lost over 25 pounds. I can't be having that. Well, my boys at the front gate gotta go pick him up. He's been gone for a week and a half almost two weeks with his grandpa.

It has been so hot the past couple of days. My air conditioning is out and all that housing has got to say is that it is something I should fix???? What the hell. If I could fix it then I wouldn't be sitting here hot as hell. I wouldn't have to wait until after 10 to cook dinner because I can't deal with the heat. Ahhh, I love my husband being in the Marines but I can't stand living in housing. They aren't to worried about it they sit around in air conditioning. I'll go out there tomorrow and they have to fix it. Well, enough fussing, my husband is now on.

Well Derek called me twice today and I talked to him on messenger twice today. They moved him to nights so instead of him sleeping he got on the Internet and on the phones while everyone is sleeping, lol. He usually calls me on the phone in the shop which is nice there is never really a line to get on it. I think that they take turns I do know that there really isn't that many people in his shop. Thank god, lol. I talked to him on the phone for an hour the second time only for a few min. the first time he called it was real quick just to tell me what time he was getting on the computer. He called last night and told me he was going to check his e-mail in a little while so I woke up at 5 to be able to IM him. so we talked then till eight. It's nice when he can get on there with no one waiting. I tell you one thing I know he loves me. I knew he did before but now I know how much. I hate him being away but it has made us so much stronger. Not just him for being in Iraq but me too for having to learn how to do things without him. We both realize how much the other does for us. Dang something as little as changing a light bulb or taking out the trash. I can't reach the lights in my house and they have to be fluorescent lights so that makes it that much harder, lol. I have to wait until a friend Derek's comes up here next week to change it and until then I can't see to cook, lolI had to put a lamp in the kitchen. I can tell Derek really misses me cooking for him and being there to lay next to him. He hasn't slept in two days. I feel so bad. He did give me a window of when he'll be coming home. The thing I love about it is that it is before my birthday. Well that and he's coming home and time is finally starting to go by. Well, enough for now. He'll be back on here in the morning.

Well, we didn't go to watch the fire works, not really to interested in them. My dad caught fire one year when we went. It was kinda funny. Watching his hair smoke and then he flips out and junk. really funny. Anyways, My daughter and I had a nice day out. We went to Apple Bee's and ate lunch with a friend. Her husband is over with Derek. Then my daughter and I came back and sat around watching movies. Then went to Burger King (gross, her choice) and sat around eating cookies and watching movies. I wish my son was here but it is nice with my little girl here. She's the shy quiet child and usually stays back when around people. Well, when Jonathan isn't here she opens up a lot. He's a loud mouth and talks a lot, lol. She can't get a word in edge wise. Well, that was pretty much our day today. We had a girls day out. We talked to Derek and actually got the web cam working to where he could see us. The first time he has seen us in 4 months. I got the days down to the min on my my space, lol. I'm not counting, ha ha. Found out he should be home in September which is great. I can't wait. Only two months left!!!! That was My Fourth of July. Not to bad I don't think.

Well, it's been one year today since Derek and I started dating. We met June of last year at the bar. He was drunk and hitting on some girl. She was trying to blow him off and we set back and laughed at him. His buddy Brandon dared him to talk to her. Well then they turned the dare on me because they dared me to walk up and talk to him. I knew he was drunk so I walked up to him and told him that he was going to dance with me and he told me no he wasn't. That really surprised me. Well, I told him that he was going to and he just didn't know it yet. Well, about 5 min later he was dragging me to the dance floor, lol. We being our "redneck" selves got in a argument on the dance floor over which trucks are better Chevy's or Fords, lol. He told me he had a big ole Chevy truck and I told him that is what all the guys in Tar Heels say and most of them drive Honda's, lol. (A few weeks later I seen his truck, he did have one, oops) Well he took me to breakfast and when we left I gave him my number and told him thanks for breakfast and figured that I would never see him again. Well, this town is to small for that. Hew didn't call but he was at Tar heels that wed. night. He walked over and saved me from a Wal-mart cowboy, lol. Kinda like a K-mart cowboy, lol. We have been together ever since. Sometimes I wonder if it's a good thing, lol. Na, it's a great thing. Well, he told me that he would call me on the fourth and he did he called me at 12am to make sure that he told me he knew what today was and that he couldn't find anyone better to spend a year with, lol. Now we got a year of marriage to look forward too. Well, enough rambling for now. Just thinking about Derek and wishing he was here for this day. There will always be next year. A Marine has his duties.

Well, a year ago I let my sister move in with me because her and her husband separated and she needed to get away and start over and had nowhere to go. I lived an hour and a half away from home and welcomed her in my home. The only thing I asked was for her to get a job and I would watch her son for her if she would watch mine for me until my ex got home to watch them for me (20min a day) She said cool. Well, I had a trip coming up to go to TN with my boyfriend (husband now). She said that she would watch the kids for me to go. Since she didn't have a job yet. I left for TN I was only going to be gone for two weeks and then I was coming home. The kids went to school so she wouldn't have them much with my ex there to help with them. She also said that she would watch over the animals. I had 10 puppies, a Rottweiler, and 13 cats(Three mommas and 10 small kittens).I left and got a phone call two days later that she sent them to their fathers. They weren't to see there father he had a problem with taking the kids and running. Well, I couldn't get home at the time I wouldn't have the money till Derek got paid again and no one could loan it to me. She took off and left before I could get there. When I got home after borrowing money from Derek's mom and dad. I come home to no water, dead puppies and kittens all over the yard. I had one dog and one cat survive. She starved everyone of them to death. I went to go and get my kids after I cleaned everything up and my ex wouldn't give me my daughter back. I finally got her back after I got him arrested. Anyways, on with my story. A year later and I thought she had changed and I even went against my husbands wishes and let her move in. That way I could help her out with her son and get her on her feet. Well, once again she didn't get a job and when I couldn't give her anymore money because she used up all my savings she bolts. I wouldn't give her money for cig. because I had to get food for all of us till payday and I had to get her son pull ups and everything else that he would need. Yeah it was hurting me her staying here but what made me so mad is that she knew that she was moving last weekend and she waited till I was asleep this morning and started packing her stuff to move out. When I busted her taking her stuff out to her car she couldn't even look me in the eye and tell me that she was moving. All she would say is that she was staying with mom for a couple of days. I told her that was bull and that she needed to stop lying to me that I knew she was moving out why would she pack her computer. Well, she wouldn't even look me in the eye. Well, she's out now. She didn't tell me before I spent all that money on her. Ahhh, I hate spineless people. I know I have to love her because she is my sister but I can't stand how she is. I don't know what happened to her when we were growing up but I know my brother and I turned out all right. She doesn't think she can make it without having a man there to take care of her and pay her way for everything. She won't work and keep a job. She hates being alone and I understand that but she has never been single. She's never seen how much fun it can be without someone there all the time. Ok I'm done sorry really irritated right now.

My nephew is the cutest little guy I swear. He's three and the size of a two year old at the most. The guy across the streets two year old is bigger then him. It's so cute. He is a trip, he'll do anything to make you smile. I had him out in the yard helping me with the flower bed. He didn't want to pull the weeds he wanted to throw all the dirt out of the flower bed. When I brought him in the house I thought his momma was going to kill me. He was covered from head to toe with dirt. So cute. He's been running around the house telling everybody that he's Ricky Bobby, from the movie Talladega Nights. He named my cat JR, after Dale JR., and he runs around saying Jimmy Johnson sucks. He is too cute. Can't wait to have two more of my own, lol. He's been feeding the dogs flys that he catches in the window. Scary thing is that they eat them. Ewwww, lol. I stayed pretty busy today. Cut grass, weed eated, put steps on the truck, cleaned out the storage building, cleaned the house and washed the trucks. I get a lot done when I get bored, and my sister makes me mad, lol.

i see. ive had my computer for about 4 years so, having problems at this stage is some-what expected on my end.
joeschmoe714 Posted 4/25/2007 11:07:19 PM
uh i have no problems with that. the only problem ive been having lately is the computer getting too hot. toshiba has firmware upgrades for the computer and it supposed to fix most problems that many users were having.
