Okay I know moving and everything can be

stressful on everyone but lately here today anyway.

I have done nothing but bust my ass to get things packed

so we can clean. He is the One who wanted to do a DITY MOVE

So we are moving an entire house by our selves not to mention

trying to find a place their and so forth,,

I want to scream., I am doing this on my own and I cant..

It isnt my fault I cant drive his truck, No one ever thaught me how to

MY car is back to not wanting to run right=, O yeah me..

ugh i think i might as well give up now..

Well, Diana goes into the ENT this week for her

hearing test and follow up so I am hoping good news

on both fronts but no one knows for sure.. 

My biggest thing is her hearing test Tuesday. So wish me

luck on that part. I am hoping the screw up with the

clinic didnt cause her any hearing loss. Those doctors

I swear dont know crap.. It took them 2 months

to diagnose an ear infection. Stupid idiotic doctors.. 

I wonder sometimes what doctors think half the time.

I am so glad to be moving away from FT CAMPBELL.

A think a change is good for all of us. The kids will love it..

Richard has been complaining he wants to go back to

Ft Sill Since we were their when Rick reclassed. 

We liked it their, and we met alot of nice people.

This time I know its different though since

Rick will be a DRILL SGT, but I dont care.

It is a small price to pay for no deploying 

for a while.. I can't wait..

He will be home soon and the kids will actually

listen more. I am so glad.. All three of them go to

school Monday for a full day well Diana as much as 

a full day for pre kindergarden allows lol.

Tuesday they get out at 11, and no school for

Thanksgiving Break. So its not that bad..

Well enough of an update I am sure I will be back later

this week with another update..

XOXO

Samantha

It is finally official that Rick is a Drill Sergeant.

I am so glad.  School is just about over and

he will be home.. I cant wait. I am so excited and get

to see him. I will be so glad when we are out of

Ft Campbell. I cant wait to move..

Here is a picture of Rick in his Drill Hat..

Hopefully I will have better ones soon.

Things never seem to end.

Tomorrow we are back to the ENT.

Diana's ear is still sore and I am not to sure why.

I am not sure if that is normal or she is getting another

infection in her ear. I put the drops in like the doctors

said to after she had her tubes put in. So I am not

sure what is causing it this time.  I guess I have to wait to

see what the ENT says in the morning.. I am

hoping that it is nothing to serious. I dont know

how much more of this I can take.

On another note Rick graduates Drill School

soon and I am so glad . He will be home soon

and he will be able to help me with the kids,

I tell you I need a break.

Rick and I have decided that we are going to take a

few days and go to Oklahoma and look for

a place. It will be so much easier and everything., I will

be so glad to get out of this place I do know that much,

We are wanting to live off post so this way we have more

freedom to do what ever and so forth, It will be so nice,

I am ready for a change, At least this way getting a place off post

we can have friends visit if we want and not have to worry

about it., that will be the nice part:)

I am off I want to read a bit before I go to bed.

NITE NITE

XOXO

Samantha

Well Diana is doing a bit better. Her ear is still

sore and bleeding but nothing more I can

do. I am going to send her to school

here in a few days to see how she will react. I just

have to be careful with loud noises and

her getting hit in the ears. Accidental or Purposely.

She loves school but once we move they dont have a

pre kindergarden. So I am going to be teaching her more

things at home.

Richard and Christianna I am not worried about

getting settled in school. They seem to pickup well.

I am just hoping that they both realize that school comes

first and everything else. 

I have a few weeks left and Rick will be home

I will be so glad. I can atleast have a little bit of help.

Then not to mention the packing and getting ready

to move.. I am actually looking forward to the move

I will be so glad to get to a different state..

I just want to be in a different place.

Dont get me wrong I will miss all my friends

here but I will just be glad to get back to the

friends that we have in Oklahoma..

Well I better go so I can get Diana to bed..

NITE NITE

XOXO

SAMANTHA

We are home after havin PE tubes placed in her ears.

She was the first patient this morning.  She is crouchy.

The meds they gave her are making her see double of everything.

She  is well hopefully I can get her to lay down and take a

nap but right now she is laying on me.. 

They replaced the tubes in both ears and she has drops

for both ears for 5 days.  They didnt see any damage

done to her ear drum. but I am still going to have

a hearing test done.  I want to make sure no permant

damage is done. Hopefully non but who knows..

She hopefully will be back to her normal

self really soon. 

I will keep everyone updated.

xoxo,

Samantha     

Well Diana goes in for surgery tomorrow.

She has to be their at 6:30 in the morning.

Not something I am looking forward to.

I am not sure what they doctors are thinking

when its that early but who knows,

I am hoping that this fixes the problem and she

doesnt have any hearing loss in her ear.

I hope but i am not sure. I think that is

what scares me the freaking most.. I dont

want her to have serious problems

xoxo

samantha

I know I havent updated anything lately.

It has been crazy.

Richard and Christianna are

fighitng as always

Diana's ear is hurting still and surgery

is 1 week from Thursday.

I am scared that she will have more problems

with her ears. I dont know. I really hope not.

Well tomorrow is my birthday and I get to spend it with the kids.

Not what I want to do but you know my hubby loves me.

He got me a net book for my birthday:)

I totally love it so far. It is amazing..

Its great.. It has everything I need and want on it.

I am still going to use my other laptop for

Corel and So forth.. I think that I will use this one for it too,

I just have to get corel and everything else on it.

Well I am off for the night.

I am going to take the kids the kids to the

fall festival here on post tomorrow..

Nite Nite

XOXO

Samantha

I hate doctors here on post any more..

They suck. It took them 4 weeks to finally figure

out what is making Diana's ears as sore as they are.

The tissue around her tube in her ear is infected and

it is causing it to bleed.  She went to an ENT this morning.

She has more ear drops and a different Antibiotic

so hopefully this will clear the ear up enough.

She goes in for pre-Op on the 2nd of November

and then Surgery is Scheduled for November 5th.

I am not looking forward to this at all.

She has to have this tube removed and a new one put in

hopefully if its not stretched from the infection.

They are thinking that she has sugnifficant hearing loss

in her right ear, due to the fact that the doctors have

not been able to get this taken care of until now.

That pisses me off more than anything right at this point in time.

I am so pissed its not funny. I am not sure what else to do..

I will keep everyone updated as I know more that is going on with

Diana and the problem she is having with her ears..

I just want her better and back to normal.

XOXO

Samantha

Once again I am struck with a Migraine..  I went to the Er this

morning and they gave me meds but I just wonder if they are going

to work.. My head is pounding.  Last night it hurt so bad that I cried

all night..  I am hoping tonight that I can sleep, but i am

not sure how well that is going to work.. It just hurts so

bad its not funny..

Well I am off to rest. More updates later :)

All of the kids are feeling 100% better.
Diana still has a cough, but I am sure that is her
ear infection draining  and clearing up. She
goes into the clinic on Friday to have her Ear Irrigated..
 That is going to be lots of fun with Richard and Christianna.

Tomorrow I have Parent/Teacher Conferences at both schools.
I am hoping to stop by and see Diana's Teacher so I can let her
know what Diana has not been in school.   Luckily they are all
going back to school Next Wednesday.  So that is going to be
a relief, I can get some things packed up and cleaned up.

xoxo
Samantha

Diana is feeling better.. No more fever, No more complaining.
 She is still on her antibiotics for a few more days.
She is back to her normal cheery self playing and singing.

Christianna is feeling better.  She just ate something
that didnt agree with her stomach yesterday.

Richard has a headache still but I am hoping that it will go away
after he gets some sleep..  I have sanitized the house today and
got a few more things to do tomorrow..

I need to get in gear and get a box in here and start packing up some things.
I think I will do that tomorrow and start in the dining room so I can get the book case cleaned off and in the garage.. I want to get rid of it but not sure what rick wants to do.

xoxo

Well this week is going to be a long dull boring week.
Diana is still sick and not getting any better at this point in time.
Christianna has been complaining her stomach hurts and she is throwing up.
The stomach could be one of 2 things that she ate something that doesn't agree with her
or she is going to start her period soon.. YAY ME...
Richard has a migraine from hell and his stomach hurts. So most likely
Richard and Christianna will be home from school tomorrow..  
Not going to be fun especially with 3 sick kids.. 
I guess its going around..  But I am not sure what the hell is going on.
The kids tend to pickup things more easily..
They haven been near anyone that has been sick except Diana.
But that doesn't mean anything. They could have  picked something up from
school so that is one thing I have to look at as well.

Not to mention Thursday is parent teacher conferences at both schools for
both Richard and Christianna.. So I am not looking forward to that..
Luckily its like 10-15 minutes with each one so not to bad..
I am just not looking forward to taking all 3 kids especially if they
are still not feeling well..

I am hoping that Diana will start feeling better soon.
I need to catch up on some much needed sleep.

Well  I am off for the night. I am so tired at this point
it is not funny..

XOXO
Samantha

OMG, I am so aggravated.  Last Night before I put Diana to bed

She was running a fever.  I give her tylenol and Mortin, hoping that

it would go down but of course it didnt.  Now this morning I get her up for

school and shes not doing any better. Her fever is 100.5 under the arm, so you

add a degree and that makes it 101.5. I am not happy. I call and Cant get her an appointment

they are book and have no provider. So okay as soon as Christianna gets on the bus she is going to the ER..   I just wish I knew what was causing the fever and everything else.. 

Well I am off to get her dress and me dress so, I can take her to the ER.

I will be back later with an update

I dont understand sometimes how people can say they know what another person is going through unless they have been through it them selves.  It's hard sometimes to know what it is like to loose someone very close to you unless you have been through it.  I know that loosing someone is hard no matter the circumstances but unless you have truly lost someone you cared for and loved you can't begin to understand any of the pain.   

Brings me to the point of loosing a close friend last deployment.   No, He wasnt family but he was a good friend as well as his wife.  They were family to us. Loosing someone close tears you apart. It is hard to deal with no matter who it is.   I know  that to this day both the Death of David and Bill is so hard on him.  I remember Rick telling me that he was just talking to Bill on the radio and we lost him shortly after that.  

Loss is a loss no matter who they are..  Bill has been gone for a year and it still bothers me to this day that I couldn't do more for his wife and girls. He was a friend to us all..  David has been gone since 2006 and is truly missed still..  They both touched so many lives and are always remembered no matter what journeys are ahead.  

What to learn from this and the loss of someone.

Never take life for granted. Live life to the fullest. 

Again we go to the dr once again.

Diana is coughing again and was up all night.

I have a massive headache.

Her missing school because she is sick

doesnt help much. But I know that she can't

really go to school while she is sick, so what is the point.

If I knew what else to do I would. I have tried

everything and anything I know to do. This

is driving me absolutely crazy.

Christianna is still coughing and I am not sure she has

allergies either but what else can I do.

She complains no matter what..

Richard isnt sick and I am so glad. I dont

know what I would do if all 3 of them managed to

be sick at the same time..

xoxo

Samantha

Diana still doesnt feel any better and I am not sure what else to do.

I know that I am giving her cough meds and everything else.

I am hoping that what ever this is that it goes away soon.

She is miserable when she is sick. She either wants to sleep

or lay around and whine.  I think most of it is she wants Daddy but

she knows that  hes in school now. So she is okay with that..

Hoping that it goes away soon enough, Colds are a pain to

deal with...

XOXO,

Samantha
