10 things this weekend!

1. Taking a cranky toddler to an airshow is quite an experience. :P He enjoyed watching the planes, but got a heat rash in the process. His quote of the day "airplanes fast!" Indeed my lad, indeed.

2. It is highway robbery to charge $4 for a hotdog. You should be ashamed of yourselves. *shakes fist*

3. Gannon is going to be a hunter for halloween, cuz momma found huntin' overalls for 1.50 at goodwill. Kudos goodwill, kudos.

4. Alice In Wonderland is a decent movie, but nothing to brag about. Johnny Depp looked quite creepy.

5. Airshow was crowded, and the transportation from the parking lot to the airfield was unorganized. That equals a cranky baby AND husband.

6. I spent WAY too much money at the commissary today. Todd took Gan to look at the tanks, so I had extra time to look at food and think "we can use this!" Yea......now the bank looks quite dwindled cuz I HAD to have organic cheesy shells....

7. Gannon is saying "ok" after almost every sentence. "Open tractors, ok!" "watch dump trucks, ok!" Even if it's a question, he'll answer it himself. He's giving himself permission. :P "bathtime? ok!" "Orange juice? ok!"

8. Gan is just kinda big for his stroller, so instead of buying another stroller he'll grow out of we got a wagon. I've been wantin' a wagon for him! We had the extra cash, so we just did it! Now on walk we will take the wagon. :)

9. Gan is a picky eater, and momma would like it to stop. :P I can make an awesome meal and he'll stick up his nose "no" and want fish sticks and grapes. Silly butt.

10. I hate coin laundry.

*jibber jibber*

The title of this blog makes no sense cuz I really didn't know what the title should be. :P

Today is a "prepare for daddy to come home" day. I sure miss that punk. ;) You don't realize what an impact someone has on your life until they leave you for a period of time. Gan has been askin' about him a lot too, so he'll be ubber excited to see daddy.

Todd has been doin' training for Afganistan. Last time they were out, in the field, they went out in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico. I guess there's a Afgan. village made out there w/real Afgan. immigrants helping w/the scenerios. So working directly w/ppl from the country is helpful. Any way to keep Todd alive over there is ok w/me! They did little missions so they could see how the Afgan. people would react to diff. scenerios, and their presence over there. Oy vey. I just hope they cancel his deployment......

I put Gan in a 48 month romper and it was slightly too short. :P That boy never stops growing upward! Today we did laundry, and I'll ask Gan where the laundry room is and he'll lead the way. Then afterwards I'll ask him where our house is and he'll show me......w/slight destractions. ;) Ooooo butterfly!

I met a gal here that's nice. Hopefully the friendship will last, but you never know. She's pretty down to earth, and doesn't like the girly drama so that's a plus. I'm trying to find people that want to talk about interesting topics instead of who screwed who's baby's daddy........PLUS people who just don't wanna complain constantly about the military. We all get that is sucks sometimes, but just think of all the people w/out jobs and health insurance right now. Stop bitchin'.

I'm kinda tired, so I think a nap is in order. BUT I'm getting distracted by Millionaire Matchmaker...

Omg how long it's been.....

With age I've become more grumpier, and way more forgetful. Totally forgot about my blog. :P Plus I've noticed my tolerance for stupid behavior is lower, and I'm way more judgemental. So lets begin....

We have moved again! To El Paso, Texas! NEVER wanted to live in Texas, and that's where they send us. Texans seem to think their state is the best in the nation. Us honkeys are the minority here and I'm lovin' it. Is it weird to get annoyed w/being around too many white folk? I like a mix of all sorts of cultures! Ever since living in Hawaii I've felt that way.

El Paso is pretty entertaining. There's great shopping, awesome restaurants, LOTS of parks, and flea markets! Kudos to cheap livin'!

The houses here are my kind of houses. Ranches w/iron/stone fences. ROCK yards. Indeed, ROCK yards. No lawn upkeep! I saw one yard that was all patio blocks. It actually looked good too! Or when they put the stone tiles......seriously it's genius. I'll have to take pictures and post them on here. Talkin' about it doesn't do it justice!

I'm attempting to socialize, but it's been a struggle. I don't like huge groups of people. I'm a shy bug and it's been hard trying to make a good friend! Ugh. Plus I don't like competition. If I find a friend, and then they find a different friend I don't like competing for hanging out time. Yes I'm a werido.

Gannon is two! The terrible twos have begun. It's just soooooooooooo active. I HAVE to take him out every morning to run off energy or the day will end badly. He's just go! go! go! I need a caffeine IV drip. He talks alot too. Everyone tells me that he looks older then he is, and his vocabulary is large. I just say ok. His favorite sentences "garbage truck dumps trash!" "Mommy play cars to, ok?!" "Watch Tractors, dump trucks!" Plus he names construction/farmning equipment. It blows my mind! Dump trucks, diggers, loaders, cranes, big rigs, bulldozer, car transporters, tractors, combines, balers, mowers, plows.....and if he doesn't know he'll ask "what's that do?"<---another one of his fav. sentences. :D

Todd is in the field training for Afganistan....write more about that later. Tiredness is taking over my ability to think....

Long time no see....

I have not posted here in a LONG time. Probably because it's way more fun to blog when you have an audience. Applause please.

A brief update:
Gan is a big boy. Pretty darn tall, and a badunkadunk like daddy. Right now he's in his room hummin' away refusing to nap. He needs to though, or I will start pulling out my hair. :P He's climbin' on everything, pushing every button, pulling every cord......and chewing on them too. Yep...he's a one year old all right. He my puddin' pop, and his giggles need to be collected in a box for safe keeping. :D

What else?

I am havin' this awful back/side pains for a while now. Thought it was a kidney stone, but the doc ordered some tests and it's not. Soooooooo no clue. Might just be muscle. :P PLUS when it's nearing that time of the month I get horrid cramps for days before I start and even days after I end. SO yea....somethings not right. :P If I do a lot during the day I'm just in pain all evening.....yea....sooooooooo.....I'm dying!!! :P Slightly exaggerating there. :P :P :P

If Todd doesn't get promoted soon the army will only let him be in for 15 yrs, and then we're out. That's a scary thought. SO he's gonna see if he can re enlist under a school option. We'll see how that works. More on that later......gotta go get that baby. :P

That is my life.....Gotta go get that baby..... ;)

Where have I gone?

Gannon is 6 monthes old!


I haven't posted in here in FOREVER. I did some on myspace again, cuz that's where I get the most responses. Sucks ass. ;)

SO this week I was getting cabin fever. Get me outta the house! Ahhhh! The walls are closing in!

I'd want to do so much during the day w/the abode, but Gan is doing this separation anxiety thing. I leave a room and he SCREECHES. It's a lovely high pitched shriek of horror flick proportions. If that made any sense. :P

What is he doing? Lots of activeness! Ahhhhhh! lol.

He likes his sippy cup, but doesn't quite tip it high enough to drink out of.
He babbles while examining his toys.
He's gettin' hair! And it's Daddy's color!
He's eatin' all his good baby foodness. Plus Mum mum rice crackers. Helps him grab food. :)
He'll try to hold his bottle, but again doesn't tip it high enough so he'll give up.
He'll walk around if I hold him up. He loves his walker. :P
Ummmmm...
His eyes aren't quite brown yet. They are still kinda hazel-ly.
He's TALL. So I've been told. A waitress today asked how old he was and when I told her she was flabergasted. She couldn't stop talking about his height.
I bought him an activity table for $10 on a yardsale site for the area. It rocks. I just took off the legs so he can play w/it on the floor for now.
He does this excited thing. He'll shreik and flail his hands....plus put in a little bounce.
He LOVES his big boy tub. He thinks water is awesome, and doesn't mind it in his face.
I LOVE morning grins...w/his excited dances....

As for me........meh. I need to find stuff to do for myself. Tomorrow I might do a spa day w/Sam, and then we're having a girly movie night at her abode.

JAC I have more capris for you!
