Blocker Boys On the Go!

     Well it appears all the guys are on the mend.  Thank goodness.  I was not sure how long I could hold out juggling the baby, and sanatizing everything in the house.  On the down side it is warm and muggy here, but wait it gets better, the AC is out AGAIN!!  I mean seriously this is the 4th time this year.  Now as for the holiday weekend going on, i am hoping the AC guy gets here Monday.  I am not in to sweating all day and night due to humidity. 
     Anyway got a lot done today overall.  The dogs got pedicures, dishes are done, and half the vacuuming is done.  So off to a good start for the holiday weekend.  Now if I can only keep the steam rolling all weekend I might get the entire to do list done.  Haha that will never happen.  The darn to do list is never ending.  So here goes hoping that the baby and I do not get sick, and that the housework keeps on rolling.

     Well I know I have been slacking around here.  Both adult males currently in my household are sick.  It is NOT the swine flu thank goodness.  So I am busy trying to sanitize behind them and not get sick myself.  All the fun of that while balancing the baby and trying to keep him from getting sick. So I hope every one else is feeling good out there.  Just trying to keep up around here.

     The title says it all.  Nothing of any interest happened.  I started a new twitter account for the cooking blog, and we went to the store for basic food stuffs.  The rest of the day was spent at home doing nothing.  Which is good I guess.  I am pretty stoked about the neighborhood yardsale this weekend, and the fact that hubby gets a four day weekend for the holiday!!!

     Well K was grouchy most of the day.  So I was busy trying to stay somewhat sane with a screaming midget in the house.  While I was changing a diaper the cat comes up being all nice and rubbing on my legs like a good little cat.  As soon as I quit paying attention to the cat he hacks up a big hairball directly behind me.  The darn cat managed to do this twice today since he is such a little helper.  I think he waits for the worst time to do such things.
     Any way got the little man to go to bed a little late, but not bad considering how our day went.  Waiting on the hubby to get home.  He forgot to call so dinner was not ready to go when he got here.  I whipped up some torteloni in marinara sauce with green beans mixed in.  I find it much easier to get hubby to eat vegetables if I can mix it in to something.  If the veggies are in a seperate pan that clearly means that they are optional. 
     On a good not the community yard sale is coming up.  Two whole weekends in October to roam the neighborhood, and look for baby equipment for the wee one to grow in to.  The family back home is starting to ask about Christmas/New Year's plans.  If only the Navy would let me have this much time to plan.  All we know so far is which family we are visiting for which holiday.  Houston for Christmas, and the vallley for New Years.  Chalk it up to one more thing to start adding to the to do list.
     Well I am off to get a nice long relaxing shower and then off to bed for some reading!! Good night all!!

     Well we had a great visit with Auntie over the weekend.  A is so tiny and cute.  Of course if A is in the picture with K he looks like a giant.  I am working on getting some pictures to put up soon.  We did some scrapbook stuff to that was fun.  Mom I will get that dog biscuit recipe up soon.  You just asked right before everything got busy here.
     K tried to stay up all night not really.  He was just up past his bed time.  He also demanded that he eat real food while all the adults ate.  None of this I'll have a bottle while you guys munch on the good stuff.  He is so funny.  As soon as he got some bread chunks to eat he was happy to be eating with us. 
     Well that is all fort he moment.  Trying to get back in the swing of everything with no company here!!

We know you want a bolder paper person

     Well I have not even been doing this blog stuff for an entire month yet, but I am having a good time with it.  So, what has me impressed?  Only using google adsense for the last half of the month of September I made 33 dollars.  This amazes me as I am also having fun writing everything.  I really use this blog as a stress relief/vent before I head to bed at night. 
     I am a bit nervous about starting up the new cooking blog and keeping it all going, but i think it will be fun.  My family will be eating the same as the blog.  I am trying to get all my menus made up so I can make one a week and still have a few in back up. 
     On another fun note!! My sister in law and little niece will be here by lunch tomorrow.  We are taking the kidlets to get their pictures made!!! Yeah so much fun.  Then we are staying home and being crafty.  Speaking of niece, both of her parents are active duty in the Army, which means training missions!! That means I might be watching her for the first week of November, because they will be on field ops.  I am kind of nervous and excited about balancing two little ones, but I am sure I can do it.  The kidlets are 4 months apart, so what I just finished doing with K is what A(niece abbrv. from now on) will be doing right be hind him.
     Speaking of K!! The little clown is so funny.  Today I let him feed his self little pieces of bread.  He thought it was great.  I expect him to be crawling any day now.  He is so close to crawling right now it is scary.  He did fine with all his shots from the other day.  He is just like it never happened.  Of course since we went to the pediatrician, I now have to acknowledge that he in fact only has a few inches left to go in his infant carrier.  Then it is on to the big kid car seat.  (sniff) 
     Not much else going on here! Good night blog world, and thanks for listening!!

     Well today's good news, is that we still have renters for another month at the house in Virginia!!!!  That means not so much worry on the budget part.  I do hope they find new renters that want in before these guys decide to leave.  I think we are going to tell the property manager to up the rent which will work out even better.  So that was a big load off my plate in the money department. 
     The weather iscooling off so all the dogs found some long lost energy.  They have been running around playing like puppies for two days.  The cats on the other hand are looking for cuddly places to spend the days. 
     Getting the house ready for the sister in law to visit.  She is allergic to cats, so I will be scrubbing the cats and doing some extra vacuuming, and dusting.  I should probablly tell her thanks for coming so I get all this house work done.  Big plans for the weekend while she is here.  Photo shoot for the babies!!! Her little girl is four months younger than K.  Then getting ready for some scrapbooking and crafting.  It will be fun to have a little more girl energy in the house.
     K was pretty good today over all.  I mean for the day after shots he was awesome I suppose.  We made it out to get groceries, and other household stuffs.  Then he was well behaved while the AC/heater guys were here.  He also found it in his schedule to let me have time to call the DMV, and wait on hold for 16 minutes.
     Over all a very productive day in our little world.

     Man was today busy.  Up early and off to the pediatrician. That took 2 hours because of the million kids sick with the flu.  Thank goodness our pediatrician office has 2 waiting rooms(sick/well)!! Anyway poor little K got 4 shots and a liquid vaccine today.  He was such a trooper.  Of course we get home and he is grumpy for the rest of the day.  He went to sleep a little late, but he was up when daddy got home so good trade I guess. 
     So in between grouchy baby, and everything else!! I managed to wash all of the cloth diapers, and a load of dishes.  Then it was left-overs for dinner.  Sneaking in a little bit of blog work, and balancing the check book.  Tomorrow will be full of exciting stuff like paying all the bills oh joy!!

Check out the recipe on the new blog http://kitchenmixing.blogspot.com/

     Well today's big accomplishment was vacuuming the downstairs.  Mixed in with juggling the baby, and making dinner.  Thank you who ever invented the crock pot!! That kitchen gadget is so handy.  Dropped a chicken in covered it in potatoes, and add some spice.  Tada dinner made itself. 
     I think the little man is getting that second tooth right now he was clingy and grumpy all day.  That just means tomorrow should be very exciting.  I mean who would not enjoy going to the pediatrician for shots with a teething baby!!!  So I hope I get enough sleep tonight. I really am not anticipating anything fun tomorrow.  Oh and to throw it in we have/need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. 
     I posted a quick fun recipe on the up and coming cooking blog.  http://kitchenmixing.blogspot.com/  Swing by and check it out!!

     Today we got up and went to church on time!! Yeah!!  The sermon was rather interesting, and will be continued next week.  So after the service we went down. to help unload pumpkins for the church pumpkin patch. This was only slightly reminiscent of high school when our church back home had a pumpkin patch. 
     After pumpkins we rushed home, because hubby had to go in to work for a few hours.  When hubby was home K got a bath.  On Sundays I fill up the big tub and let K swim around!! The little guy loves to play in the big tub.  So as it goes we did a lot, but still had a fun refreshing Sunday with the family. 
     After K went to sleep for the night I did a few more crafty things.  Not finished with it yet so no pics.  I am really enjoying getting to do some crafty stuff.  This coming week we are pretty busy so no crafty time in the near future.  Maybe next weekend.

Well my hubby watched the munchkin most of the day!!! I got a lot of the crafty stuff I needed to done. Two blankets made for baby shower gifts, and a trick or treat bag for K plus a spare little bag.


                                               blanket1: fleece lined with satin

                                                blanket2: fleece lined with satin


                                       
                                             And here is the trick or treat bag
                                             


Overall I was thrilled to have the majority of the day to get done what I wanted to! Gotta love the hubby! Of course I think K only learned how to play a video game, but it's male bonding who am I to complain!

Signing off one very happy mama!!!

     So I am sitting here on the floor playing with the little guy before he gets his last bottle of the night. Then it is off to get ready for date night! I finally got him down to sleep after he fought it the whole way.
     Out the door and off to Red Lobster!! We were going to go to a movie, but there is nothing out at a theater near us that seemed appealing.  As soon as we left it started raining, but no big deal.   We got over to the  restaurant, and there is no parking.  Guess what we forgot the dinner crowd on Friday nights last longer then during the week.  So I jumped out of the car to get our names on the list as we were anticipating a long wait.  Surprise no wait for the smoking section, and we are in luck no baby.  So we walked right in and sat down.  Next awesome moment! They are serving endless shrimp plates!! It was definitely relaxing to go out, and not worry about if we would need another bottle or a new diaper.
     Overall it was a great time out with just the hubby.  My bro was cool to sit at home, and just play video games while listening for the kidlet.  Gotta love that the kid has gone to this 12 hour sleeping pattern.  Really it is about 11 hours 30 min, but who is counting!! I really just hope the diaper makes it most nights.  On a rare occasion there is a little leak, but nothing major. 
     I sent the link to the new blog out to the family and friends for a review before I start releasing post.  I think it will all go really well as long as I can get enough traffic.    That just about wraps up the day!!!

     Well today we went and got Korvin's picture done in his Halloween outfit, that will not fit by Halloween.  We got a few done in a cute little sweater outfit that Erin got for him.  I am in LOVE with some of the pics we captured today!!! I can hardly wait to post them online for the fam!!  Maybe some for all of you blog guys too.  Poor little guy has no idea on Monday he is getting his 6 months shots at the pediatrician office. 
     The new blog is coming along nicely.  I am getting a few weeks worth of recipes set up.  I figure I need a stock pile for those days K wil just not let me type out a recipe.  Then we paid some bills, and played some games.  The dishes went into the dish washer, and dinner was cooked. 
     Now off to do some kitchen clean up, get ready for bed, and do my Bible reading for the day. Oh yeah,the super exciting news!!!! (DRUM ROLL PLEASE!) I got a baby sitter for tomorrow so hubby and I can go out ALONE!!

     So I was just sitting here thinking that nothing got done today, and we did not go any where.  That leaves nothing to write about.  However upon further evaluation! I managed 2 loads of laundry, cooked a 3 course dinner, and entertained th baby today.  We also fit in a really fun bath time to today.  K love to play in the water.
     Best part of the day?  The AC started working again randomly.  The weather is not bad here it is just so humid it is miserable.  Anyway not much else got done as K was quite a handful today.

     Ok get up feed munchkin, make breakfast for hubby.  Put baby down for nap, clean up kitchen. Wait for baby to get up.
     Here is where it gets good.  Go to Wal-mart for lawnmower oil, and a few random things.  Get through store, check out put things in car.  Suddenly remember you do not have lawnmower oil.  The one thing you really needed.  Hike all the way back in to store to get such things.  Get home unload bags and now sleeping baby.  Get everything ready to go.  Now realize that you are extremely low on weed eater line.  Blah!! Go figure! Oh well guess it will take a while for the weed eater to get line now.  I hate going into Wal-Mart. 
     Anyway got it all done, and helped the hubby with some work so hopefully he can have some time off this weekend.  Now to get everything together for a baby photo shoot tomorrow.

     Well the dog decided to start my day at 2am,  then K wanted up at 5am.  Got the little one convinced to go back to sleep.  Hubby work alarm goes off at 6:30am.  K gets up again at 7am. Not really the start to the day that I was looking for.  So no real producctivity around the house today.  I took a nap during early morning nap time.  Then we got up and went to the store.  We ho hummed along most of the day since I am still a bit tired.  Highlight of my day was the following funny e-mail someone sent me.

THE PASTOR'S CAT...



This particular story just made me laugh. Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me to no end. Hope th e story leaves a bright spot in your day.

Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor of his church. He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down.


The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

That’ s what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.


The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten.

So he prayed, 'Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,' and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food.


This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, ‘Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?' She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing.


Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, 'Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it.' She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.'


Lesson learned: Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of humor.

     So I hope that made everyone at least smile.  Off to bed early for me tonight, gotta try and catch some extra sleep!!

     Well the dog decided to start my day at 2am,  then K wanted up at 5am.  Got the little one convinced to go back to sleep.  Hubby work alarm goes off at 6:30am.  K gets up again at 7am. Not really the start to the day that I was looking for.  So no real producctivity around the house today.  I took a nap during early morning nap time.  Then we got up and went to the store.  We ho hummed along most of the day since I am still a bit tired.  Highlight of my day was the following funny e-mail someone sent me.

THE PASTOR'S CAT...



This particular story just made me laugh. Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me to no end. Hope th e story leaves a bright spot in your day.

Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor of his church. He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down.


The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

That’ s what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.


The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten.

So he prayed, 'Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,' and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food.


This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, ‘Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?' She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing.


Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, 'Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it.' She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.'

     Well today went pretty darn good in my book.  We all got up and dressed for church, and even made it there early.  The sermon today was excellent, it really got me thinking. 
     I learned quite a bit about HTML code for the new blog while I was fiddling with it today.  Only a few more things to get done. Then I will start stock piling recipes to post.  I plan to start publishing them on the first of October. 
     The rest of the day was spent entertaining the little dude, and clipping coupons.  For some reason K was really clingy today.  So I guess nothing of note really happened today.  Which is good in my book.

     I nice relaxing Sunday!!

     Well turns out I was exhausted when I got up today.  So much so that dealing with K was not on  the list.  So I got up gave him a bottle and tried to play with him.  No luck so I put him back in his crib to play, and crawled back in bed for a little bit.  He dealt with that for about 30 minutes.  So I got up we went downstairs for some baby mush, and then he toddled about in his walker for a little while. 
     Then we got hubby off to work and K down for his regularly scheduled nap.  I do a little straightening up in the kitchen.  Now I intend to lay down for a little nap myself.  No luck as soon as I get comfy and lay down.  Guess who gets up!! So i get the wee one a bottle, and procede to entertain him.  Then the best thing happens.  Hubby gets home from work!!! (throw little happy party)  Thank goodness the work days on Saturday are short.  So hubby and K go down stairs to hang out.  You know what that crazy kid stayed up 30 min ate a bottle, and took a nap for his daddy!!!
     So after about a 2 hour nap I am feeling much better.  Not on top of the world mind you, but better.  Sure enough I am up 20 minutes, and baby gets up.  Anyway my patience for the little guy was pretty much zilch all day long.  We made it through the day, and no one got hurt.  I do plan on leaving the guys alone tomorrow for a little just mommy time.  Also working on a mommy and daddy night out!!!  Hoorray for church nursery in the morning.  No little guy for an hour!!  Some times I feel bad when I get so excited to leave him, but hey mom's need a break too!!
     Still working on getting everything together for the cooking, recipe blog.  I decided on a name "Kitchen Mixing"  very fitting I think.  Now off for a little relaxation and reading!!

     So the AC magically came on today.  For no reason we can figure out.  I am just glad it came back on!! I feel so much more relaxed with the AC working than sweating while sitting still.
     I spent most of what free time I had today looking up networking information on the internet.  Then on to a little HTML code reading to work on the new blog.  Wash one load of dishes, thank you wonderful dishwasher invention.  Wash a load of cloth diapers, and then a load of towels.  The weather has been crumby so I had to run  everything in the dryer.  Of course I did all this before the AC came on so I heated up the house more.
     Somewhere in there I planned out dinner, got it all defrosted.  Hubby got home earlier than normal from work today.  That was a good surprise.  Then the baby went to sleep on time.  I also fit in some video game time.  That just about makes it a perfect and productive day around here.

     Today was spent doing some blog world research.  Along with the polling of some good friends on what my main blog should be about.  All that along with balancing a grouchy, teething, 5 month old kidlet.  Some where in the midst I made dinner, and found some leftovers for my lunch.  The entire time chasing two cats from under my feet due to our new found fly invaders.  Since the air conditioner broke the other day we are stuck with the windows open and fans blowing in.
     The evening is filled with stuff.  Hubby came home from a rough work day.  Next the landlord comes to look at the AC.  Now to clean up dinner, finish the nightly television show chosen on netflix.  On to a little more blogging research.  I want to thank all of you that took time to view the blog, and maybe click some links.  The incoming revenue has increase significantly.  Just in the few days I have been at it all i can see a difference.
     This blog is really turning out to be a lot of fun.  No as long as I can keep the one I am planning fun then it is game on.  Well off for a little WOW with the hubby and brother before bed.  Later readers!! Thanks again

     Well yesterday turned out great.  K was good most of the day.  The hubby got home earlier than normal, and dinner made its self.  Then once the leftovers were put away I still got to play my video game.. Yeah!!
     So I am enjoying blogging so much I am trying to decide on a more informative topic.  You know other than just the life events of this SAHM.  I am sure you all find my days fascinating. (Not Really)  I will probably keep this blog up to release some steam.  Anyway!! Looking for some ideas for a new topic.  I find that I am not really well versed in any one thing.  However I am good at a lot of things.  The ideas I currently have rolling around are:  

 1: A blog with a new recipe every day entitled whats for dinner with extra entries for snack and drinks
2: Something to do with container gardening in small spaces.  Like apartments  or  rented homes.

Do either of those topics interest anyone?

     Well the day is slowing down.  K is down for his nap before he gets up for dinner and a bath.  I have pot roast in the slow cooker awaiting the hubby.  The dogs are passed out on their beds.  So after juggling a baby, making dinner, and paying bills today I still feel like nothing is accomplished.
     To top it all off the AC broke last night so everyone in the house is sweating, or at least sticky all day.  This is the 3rd time the AC has gone out this summer. No fun in my book!!!!At least the little man is a bit older and tolerates the heat a little better this time.  Last time it went out he was 3 weeks old.  Top thing to be thankful for today it was overcast with a chance of rain.  At least the temperature stayed below 90F.
     Hopefully it will cool off by the time hubby gets home.  I am not totally in love with this military recruiting duty, but it works and he gets to come home and see K most days.  Some days poor hubby works so late the wee man has gone to bed long before his dad gets home.
     If everything goes down as planned I might be able to play some World of Warcraft tonight.  Being my guilty pleasure I do like to lose my self in a video game some times.  I get to go to my own little world and ignore everyone if I want.  I hope one day to get back to my scrap booking as a side hobby, but for now it is just to much work.  Maybe if I find a place to leave a craft area set up.  Well back to the real world!! See you later!!

Who in their right mind is awake to make a blog entry at 4AM east coast time.  Why the mom of a teething child I tell you.  That is right little Korvin (K) is wide awake.  I have done all I can to make him feel better, and I sit here hoping he goes back to sleep.  I wish there was a magic button I could hit so he would feel better, but alas there is not.  I gave him some Tylenol and a bottle, and now he is laying there watching his light projector go around.  The occasional cry escapes his little mouth.  :( I can only hope for a good day later on at this rate!! Feel better my little Prince!!

     Well my little man is officially getting that first tooth.  Poor little guy! I can see the opening in the gum now.  He appears miserable, and can only get a little sleep at a time basically when the tylenol wears off he is screaming.  The good news is freezing one end of a washcloth for him to chew on is working way better than the teething rings we have.  Thanks Great Aunt Helen for the washcloth tip.
     Of course since the wee one is up every couple of hours I am too.  Oh the joys!! Dear old dad of course barely flinches when I get out of bed to check on the little man.  Sometimes I just want to poke him every time I get up.  However he does go to work every day, and I stay home so I can sneak a nap in if needed.  I do on occasion curl up right next to him all cold when I get back in bed.
     So I am still procrastinating on filing my Montgomery GI Bill papers.  I would like to go back to school, but there is no one around where we are currently stationed that I would let watch the baby.  That seems to be the only problem with small commands.  Not only is there no base to go shopping at, but there is not that instant friendship of the other military wives.  So in general I guess I am ready to move back to Virginia already.
    Guess who is up from his morning nap!!! More later nice talking to you all!!

     Well today we stayed at home.  Little man was terribly grumpy all day.  Come to find out his teeth are finally coming up through the gums.  Poor little guy I guess that explains why he has been waking up at night his teeth hurt.
     Maddie the older greyhound decided to have her own tantrums today.  She has been barking randomly all day.  Then when I finally let her in my room like i thought she wanted!! She goes and steals a diaper and tears it all apart in my bed room.
   Well it is 7PM and the baby is finally down for the night.  Hopefully!! Now on to the house chores, and dinner prep.  What to cook for the dear husband that has worked all day?  Some thing with chicken since that is what I got out of the freezer.  I just hope I can stay awake long enough to get every thing done for the day!!!

     Well I made it to bed around 11:30 PM last night only to wake up around 2AM to my darling husband finally coming to bed.  He had stayed up playing video games with my brother.  Then at 2:26AM my darling son woke up for some unknown reason.  This is completely odd since the little man has been sleeping 12 hours every night for a while now.  I do have to give the hubby some credit he did get up out of bed to go fed the little guy.  Then of course I lay awake until I am sure the baby is asleep.  So around 3:15AM I am sleeping.  At 6:30AM the baby springs to life and is ready to go.
     Why did I have to get the kid that just springs to life ready to go in the morning.  So I get up do our normal morning routine.  Diaper, bottle, playtime, only I cut play time short to trap him in his crib so that I can go back to bed.  Some times I just get that I am a bad mom thought in my head.  In reality I know it was better for everyone that I went back to sleep for a little bit.  We still got everything done in a timely manner.  Made it to church on time, and I cooked a healthy lunch.
     So overall good day I just wish sometimes I could have a day off.

Well to start out I am now at stay at home mom (SAHM) of a 5 month old.  He is currently my world love the little guy to bits.  As for some back ground I was in the Navy for 6 years as a Nuclear Electrician.  I served 4 of those years aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, CVN-71.  My husband I met while I was on board CVN-71.  We have been married for 2 years as of April 2009.  Currently he is on shore duty and is home every night which is nice.  However he is going at it as a career  and we will only be here for about 18 months longer.  Hopefully when he returns to sea duty he will not immediately deploy.  We also have two greyhounds and two run of the mill cats.
