So last night Christianna and richard were playing around and she smashed her forehead into the wall. Needless to say it is knotted and is brusing up. I am hoping she didnt break it but who knows with her.. Her nose is starting to swell up and turning a light purple.. FUN..
So I am guessing later it is off to the ER.. School starts friday so i get days to my self and
between school and helping at the school i am busy..
More to come later ..

Sunday
This morning we went to the first service at Church.
First service is seems to be better than second service
But either is fine with us. We enjoy the church that we go to.
The kids actually enjoy it too..
Went to staples to get a few more school supplies.
The only thing left is glue and crayons.. YAY...
I also ended up getting a new printer.
It is a Wireless Printer. I love it..
It prints nice and very easy to set up.
Monday is CD sales for the unit.
Wednesday is graduation and I am taking pictures
of Graduation. Also have a few appointments set
up for pictures this week and it is going to be great.
I am excited to get some new faces to shoot.
Now the kids are cleaning rooms.
We have been after them all week to do
so and Rick is making them do it now..
So hopefully they will learn and keep them
clean this time.. Very doubtful that will happen but who knows
Well that is it for now..
More later

Update sorta
I know it has been a while since I actually posted on here. So here it is.
Things are pretty good. On Sunday 1August 2010 Rick and I celebrated our
13th wedding anniversary.. It was a great day.. We went to church that morning,
then went to lunch and took the kids to see a movie..
Monday Rick took off and we went around and took pictures and
ended up taking the kids swimming... I was also finally able to finish
the site and turn it into the instructor.. He liked it and I got an A..
Not to get the rest of the course done and finished..
That will happen when the kids are in school. It is so hard to do it
when they are home and driving you crazy..
I am hoping that I can get it all finished.. Today it seems that it is
never going to be complete but I guess I have to hope the best for the future.
This week Rick has been in the field, Well Range actually.. Graduation is only about
12 days away. Its hard to believe that this cycle has went by so fast.

The kids start school on the 20th of August.. Diana is going to Kindergarden.
She is so excited. Richard and Christianna on the other hand don't really want
to start school but they have no choice in the matter.. I am just hoping
that they straighten up and do better this year and Christianna Passes..
That is one of those lets wait and see things....
Well as you know we got a dog.. Bella.. She has actually became more trouble than
she is worth at this moment.. We left yesterday afternoon for 2 hours if that and we
came back to a mess.. She had gotten a full bag of ceral and destoryed it.. Chewed
Ricks combat boot and everything else.. Its not like she doesn't have toys to play with
she does, she has plenty.. I told Rick last night that we have to get rid of her.. I can't
keep this crap up.. No matter where we put things she still gets them...
The Ceral was on the Microwave and she still got it... I just wonder what else is next.
She has chewed up a laptop cable and all...
Well thats about it for now.. More later..

Thursday's Nightmare
Today started off okay, has turned into a complete nightmare.
I am telling you lately its one thing after another..
This morning I get up and try and log into DFAS to check Mypay.
Of course it locks me out immediately and I know the username
and password. Hello, I am the one who sets everything up and I am not
the Military Member.. So then I reset it.. I then try and log into Ricks AKO..
What I get, same crap. I am locked out.. WHAT THE HELL..
So then I call Rick and tell him. He resets the AKO password and DFAS.
I have to wait till tomorrow.. To get into them.. I am going to make him
write them down or text them to my phone. This crap is crazy.
So then I decide okay. Things can't get worse.. Well that was wrong.
check the mail about 11 and get something from the Loan company for the truck,
They haven't received the final payment on the truck. This doesnt look good..
Hello.. We paid by allotment everymonth. So I call them and they tell us that
the final payments are not always paid by allotment but a check. Since the final payment is lower than the normal payments. YEAH, OKAY.. Now you tell us this crap..
So then I call DFAS and they tell me the allotment was stopped and the final
payment never came out.. So now.. ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER BILLS.
I have to pull out 446.00 to make that final payment.. WTF.. THAT IS CRAP
Hell it is bad enough that I have to pay $1250.00 off the top for Rent
THIS SHIT WHOLE ISNT WORTH IT SINCE MY AC ISNT FIXED..
I am STILL PISSED ABOUT THAT..
Well I guess I am sitting home doing nothing on my anniversary unless i can sweet talk Rick into maybe going out for Dinner..Our anniversay is August 1st. Its on a Sunday. So we have church that morning. Maybe able to go swimming that afternoon. Since it is supposed to be HOT AGAIN. They aren't expecting it to cool down till near the fall.. OH HELL.. I am in trouble.Or maybe I can sweettalk Rick into pictures.. I have Richard who can take good pictures.. Plus on the 8th My friend Jamie is doing family pictures for us and I am going to have some done of Rick and I.. HELL WE NEED PICTURES.. It is great having a friend who loves photography just as much as you.. LOL. Their is a Buffet here that we like its 36 for all of us to eat.. Hell even fast food is so high anymore.. ITS ABUNCH OF CRAP.
SO YEAH A FUN TIME FOR ME..
Okay enough venting and complaining, RIck has CQ tonight so he is off tomorrow.. Not bad. I dont really complain especially since he hasn't had CQ in forever.. The joy of being a Drill Sergeants Wife.. HEHE.. I love it.. I wouldnt trade it for anything right now..
I have been through deployments and Don't know if I want to do another. But though I know once our Trail time is up we move on to another duty station and a possible deployment..
Okay time to go now.. more soon.

New Beginning
I am going to miss Rick being home before 5 pm. It was nice and the kids listened.
Oh well, has to be done. Its part of the Drill Sergeant Life, something I am getting used to..
With over 200 soldiers picked up its definitely going to be fun.
On a brighter note the kids are actually listening alot better than they usually do.
I wonder what has gotten into them and what do they want. Who knows. I guess it is
something that I may never figure out lol..
Today they are doing training exercises on post. At least they waited until I was up to
start lol.. Normally it is bright and early before the sun comes up. So this time they waited.
The house is shaking and rattling everytime they go off but you know i have gotten used to it
lol.. I dont think the kids or Bella like it to much but something you have to get used to.
In 2 weeks Rick and I will be married for 13 years. He is taking off the 2nd, so that is a
plus. We have pictures being done on the 8th. I am hoping they turn out well and the kids
actually behave. Who knows though right.. Its one of those wait and see things. .
I need to get some school work done but I havent made it that far yet.
I tell you . I need to get my butt moving on that end. But with the kids home
for the summer it is difficult to concentrate on anything.. They scream, they
run in the house and dont want to stay outside when you tell them to go play..
It is rather annoying..
I guess I better go now. But I will be back. Today Mostlikely.

Leave
Leave is over and its back to work tomorrow..
Its been great having him home and helping get
things done around the house.. The only thing is I still
never managed to get the garage cleaned out..
On the other hand, I did finally get my
Photography site up and running and Rick
has helped me with it and showed me a few things.
I started a new project called Life on the Trail.
Its Pictures of different and random things
while We are on the Trail. I think its going to be fun..
I have to figure out where to post them so everyone can
see them but other than that, they are on my facebook
and myspace.. I think I am going to post them in the Gallery
for my photography site and then link it on the main page..
I am still slowly working on my Photography myspace page.
When i get that done that will be linked as well..
Before I go on.. Here is a link to my photography
site to those who want it..
Yes, the Gallery link actually works..
Also If I have taken pictures for you.. PLEASE
LEAVE FEEDBACK.. I want to ad it to my site please..
Well on another note. I finally talked Rick into getting
a dog. Her name is Bella.. She is a 6 month old Black Lab.
Yes, She is a Pure Breed. She is so playful. The kids love it.
Thomas and Gracie on the other hand are not to fond of her
right now but I am sure they will get used to her in time..
Thats all for now..
Complete
Another cycle is complete and we have cycle break.
I am thankful that this one is abit longer than the last ones.
With it Being summer and all.. Its gives Rick more time to
spend with the family.
Leave
Well Leave is just about over.
Its been great having him home.
luckily we still have another week or 2 of cycle break so
Its okay.
Range Week
Range week is complete..
Rick was out for most of it but not that bad though
They managed to finish early..
Today he ended up bring work home..
He usually doesnt though so I dont complain to
much on that one..
I know that is because he left for a few hours to
take me to the ER, So it wasnt all that bad
