Travelling with kids....

Ok so we dropped the kids off in California so I can go to school. I had to leave them with my grandparents so I wouldn't have to get out of the military. Flying wasn't so bad but I still miss my kids and have been nervous about them for weeks now. These next 6 weeks are going to be the longest of my life. It's amazing how you miss the coos and giggles, poops and accidents, scrapes and screams until they're gone.

From The Horse Boy : A Father’s Miraculous Journey To Heal His Son

Express Review : From The Horse Boy

By Rupert Isaacson

My son was diagnosed with autism in the spring of 2004, when he was two. It was like being hit across the face with a baseball bat. Grief and shame engulfed me: weird, irrational shame, as if I had somehow cursed this child by giving him faulty genes, condemned him to a lifetime of living as an alien because of me. And then came the pain of watching, horrified, as he began to drift away to another place, separated from me as if by thick glass....

What my friends are doing now...

I look back to my friends in high school and they're all the same. It seems like 8/10 are still living in California at home with their mom and dad. 4/10 have kids with their former boyfriend or girlfriend but aren't with that person anymore. 2/10 tried to get me to date them when I was back home. 0/10 joined the military. 1/10 are on my myspace page. 9/10 I've deleted off my myspace page because we have nothing in common anymore. I mean I'm not saying I have a great life or I've made perfect decisions but sometimes going home depresses me because it seems like I'm the only one who's doing anything different to try and change their lives. On a final note it may be that I only have 10 friends, I'll never tell and finally 85% of statistics are made up on the spot but 7/10 people don't know that.

Growing up in the 80's

-- You learned to swim about the same time "Jaws" came out and still can't swim naked at night.

-- Prince's "1999" was the focal point of your plans for an end of the century party.

-- You dressed to emulate either Duran Duran, Poison, Madonna, Rick Springfield or Cyndi Lauper.

-- You wanted to be gagged with a spoon.

-- You had a poster of Bo, Luke & Daisy Duke.

-- There was nothing questionable about Bert and Ernie living together.

-- You dialed "867-5309" to see if Jenny would answer.

-- Your family's cable TV box had the three rows of numbers, and you had to move the selector switch accordingly.

Another Award Wow!

Ok have gotten second award, the Honest Scrap Award, from Marathoner81 at Life is a Marathon. So here goes


The rules for this award are as follows:
1.) List 10 honest things about yourself
2) Pass it on to 7 cool people who embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap

Ok Honesty First....

1) This is probably the most honest thing about me. I hate to lie, I hate people who lie, I hate being lied to and anything to do with being deceitful in general. In fact when taking my first polygraph, the tester only had me in there for 5 minutes because I couldn't lie and don't lie.

2) Getting up in the morning every morning is a feat for me. I have the worst days where I just wish I could stay in bed all day and have nothing to worry about and it starts in the morning.

3) I have issues growing up with a racist grandfather. Before I get burned at the stake I am not racists but I sometimes struggle with those ideals that I lived with growing up and it's hard for me sometimes to be around people of other races because then I try to overcompensate to not be racist and they still think I'm racist. :(

4) Sometimes and very rarely, I wish I was 23 with no kids, no husband and no responsibility. Then I realize how much I would miss them.

5) I do feel sometimes that my husband doesn't do enough around the house.

6) I think the reason I feel this way about number 5 is because I was so spoiled growing up.

7) I had a son when I was 17 and gave him up for adoption. The only reason my daughter is here today is because of that and I am so glad. I still wonder what's going to happen in 14-16 years when or if he comes looking for me.

The Great Housing Market...

So I own a house. It's soon to be owned a house. My house is in Texas and when I pcsed last year I rented it to some friends for the price of the mortgage. I thought it was a good deal. They watch the house, I don't pay my mortgage. Seems like a nice deal. Well, they stopped paying, moved out and now because my mortgage company didn't have my address in time to inform me of the missed payments I am 13,000 dollars behind in payment. I have until May 5th to sell my home for at least 80% of my mortgage value which is currently about 112,000 dollars or it will be foreclosed. The worst part is, this isn't a bad house. I wasn't trying to foreclose and could have paid the mortgage if I hadn't been so gullible. This pisses me off and I'm upset that at so young an age I've failed one of the first tests of financial responsibility. Gargh.

Vices

So I used to play wow, World of Warcraft for those who don't know. It's the devil, like starbucks and just as addicting. Anyways I quit when I realized WOW was taking up the time that my real life should be having. Now I play Sorority Life, the app game on myspace. It's an addiction. I may have to unplug my computer at this point...

I apologize, this one's funny too

A Sunday school teacher is concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus, so he asks his class, "Where is Jesus today?"

Steven raises his hand and says, "He's in Heaven."

Mary answers, "He's in my heart."

Little Johnny waves his hand furiously and blurts out, "He's in our bathroom!"

The surprised teacher asks Little Johnny how he knows this.

"Well," Little Johnny says, "every morning, my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom door and yells 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?!'"

Probably shouldn't post this but it's funny

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and George Washington are on a sinking ship.

As the boat sinks, George Washington heroically shouts, "Save the women!"

George W. Bush hysterically hollers, "Screw the women!"

Bill Clinton's asks excitedly, "Do we have time?"

Moms

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.



Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her /him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .

Well it was a bad day!

So I got home and was checking my email, I'd had a rough day. Basically my work was categorized by my superior as not being a soldier and not just me but everyone in my job field. It really pissed me off. Anyways back on subject. I was reading my email and saw that someone had left me something on their blog. Well I won the Zombie Chicken Award from Remember Moments and it made me stupidly happy. Amazing how just one silly thing made me happy! Anyways that's all for now.

You don't have it that bad!

The best woman to marry

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Raspberry Gelato

Raspberry Gelato

• a 12ish-oz. bag of frozen raspberries
• 1/3 cup of sugar (start with less and add if you worried about it being too sweet)
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream

Whir them all together in a food processor or blender until it's completely smooth. THAT'S. IT. And this feeds 4-6 people, depending how you interpret "portion size."

Depending on how frozen your berries are, you might have to whir a bit longer, but you can serve it immediately if you'd like. Or just pour the bright pink awesomeness into a container and throw it in the freezer for a couple of hours. It'll last a couple of weeks I think, but mine didn't even come close to making it that long. And if you're adventurous, experiment with other fruits! The bigger the fruit, the longer it'll take (assuming they're frozen fruits). And if you'd like something a little less fattening, feel free to try plain yogurt instead of the cream. I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine it'd be bad.

The Rock - http://www.fullnet.net/devotionals/therock.html

I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25 in rural Iowa. For generations kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back the rock received its latest paint job and since then it has been left completely undisturbed. It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos (all angles) of the rock. I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

Funny things said in Courtrooms...

• Lawyer: "Do you know how far pregnant you are now?"
• Witness: "I'll be three months on November 8."
• Lawyer: "Apparently, then, the date of conception was August 8?"
• Witness: "Yes."
• Lawyer: "What were you doing at that time?"

Are you Ready?

The US government has a website, http://www.ready.gov. It's another attempt at scare mongering in the style of the old "duck and cover" advice after WWII.

The fun thing is that these pictures are so ambiguous they could mean anything! Here are a few interpretations below. Enjoy!

Note: This parody site was built for fun. For the serious stuff, see our friends protecting our great country at http://www.ready.gov or the Department of Homeland Security at http://www.dhs.gov

	If you have set yourself on fire, do not run.
	If you spot terrorism, blow your anti-terrorism whistle. If you are Vin Diesel, yell really loud.
	If you spot a terrorist arrow, pin it against the wall with your shoulder.
	If you are sprayed with an unknown substance, stand and think about it instead of seeing a doctor.
	Use your flashlight to lift the walls right off of you!
	To eliminate smallpox, wash with soap, water and at least one(1) armless hand under a faucet with no sink.
	Michael Jackson is a terrorist. If you spot this smooth criminal with scary eyes, run away now.
	People, animal corpses and the biohazard symbol are all at risk of being sucked into the time-tunnel vortex.
	Be on the lookout for terrorists with pinkeye and leprosy. Also, they tend to rub their hands together manically.
	If a door is closed, karate chop it open.
	If your building collapses, climb under your table and practice yoga postures.
	Try to absorb as much of the radiation as possible with your groin region. The current world record is 5 minutes, 12 seconds.
	After exposure to radiation it is important to consider that you may have mutated to gigantic dimensions: watch your head.
	If you've become a radiation mutant with a deformed hand, remember to close the window. No one wants to see that.
	If you hear the Backstreet Boys, Michael Bolton or Yanni on the radio, cower in the corner or run like hell.
	Your respiratory and digestive systems are optional. Cast them aside if you feel you no longer need them.
	If you are trapped under falling debris, conserve oxygen by not farting.
	Survive a biohazard attack by first standing, then begging on your knees, then rolling over and playing dead.
	Do not drive a station wagon if a utility pole is protruding from the hood.
	A one-inch thick piece of plywood should be sufficient protection against radiation.
	No pyromaniacs admitted.
	A quick family snapshot in front of the latest scene of a terrorist attack may became a treasured family keepsake that will preserve precious memories for years to come.
	That closet door in your bedroom leads to the gates of Hell. Don't go there.
	The middle of a terrorist attack is not an appropriate time to catch up on your reading or paperwork.
	If you see colors in the sky, grasp your throat and pretend to choke yourself. Girls go for that.
	If your intended destination is suddenly vaporized, consider pulling over and watching the cool light show.
	If the weather is overcast with dark skies, look for worms in the grass.
	After all life is gone, modern appliances will continue to run forever. Think about it.
	Your telephone may be a practicing physician. Look for a phone with no numbers on it.
	"Wash your hands" of traditional long distance telephone providers.
	Only the coolest irradiated citizens will be allowed into the 'underground' rave in the shelter.
	In case of emergency, the parking brake may be used as an adult novelty item.
	In time of war, real Americans eat red meat only! No wimpy fish or poultry, please.
	There is a reason you failed chemistry.
	Watch out for people who come out of white tents and try to steal the shirt off your back.
	If you are trapped with no hope of being found, amuse yourself in your final moments with shadow puppets.
	Radioactive materials come in 4 convenient sizes: - individual dose - family value size - neighborhood spray pump size - supersize!
	Satellite photos of Texas show the large embarrassing radioactive crop circle in Southeast Texas.
	When the looting begins remember to consider the weight/value ratio. Here we have a few examples of high value, low effort.
