just an update

Not much has been going on here. Just the usual. Matt's on leave so it's nice to have him home everynight. Well tonight is the only night I can say that seeing as the people at his work cannot seem to operate without him and have called him in everynight. Tonight he turned his cell off and turned the lights off in the living room he said there was no way he was going in..LOL. Zach's sick though :( Poor little guy he spent the whole day wrapped up in a blanket with me :( :(
Friday we went over to Jen's for dinner with her, her dh, Melissa and Chuck. It was fun the kids all goofed around. It was all boys aside from Naomi who is only 10 months. So needless to say Ash was outnumbered..LOL. Course everywhere she went the boys followed...LOL> I think Matt and I are going to have our hands full..lol.
Melissa is signing her son up for Gymnastics in Jan so I think I'll join her and take Ash. And then Jen and I are enrolling the boys in Tae kwon do. It will be nights and Ash and Jen's son will be in the same class Zach will be a different one the classes are cheap and Jen and I get free self defense lessons which is cool..lol. So that plus Zach's speedstackers and with him starting soccer next year it should be a busy busy year. Odd to think this time next year I'll have two kids in school!!!
Well that's about it going on here. We're heading out to Tn this friday I'm pretty excited to see the in-laws. I can't really call them that anymore b/c they don't feel like in-laws they feel like family whose always been there. I hear all these horror stories from other people about there in-laws and there BIL's or SIL's and I really lucked out. I love my whole family! They all rock!! I keep in touch with my SIL but I'd be lying if I said it was constant. I need to keep emailing her I'm just so bad with email lately. I love her and I'd like to get to know her better. My BIL I'd really like to get to know. I don't know if it's the age difference or what but Matt doesn't seem to keep in touch with him as much as he should and hopefully with the new year we can change that. Matt should be promoted next year and hopefully we should be able to travel more and see all the family more I miss them!

Boredom

I'm so tired. Matt's at a fundraiser and Ash is asleep. I need to clean but yea it's not happening right now..LOL. That little boys mom never did come by. I really hope she isn't just taking it lightly. The boy said he was being teased every day from that boy. It's only the 3rd grade!! It can't be good for him!! I talked to Zach's teacher and she said to try and find the boy's address (shouldn't be hard to do since I walked him home..lol) then give it to her. I already have the boys teachers name. And then if I see him again try and get the other boys name. She said she'd talk to the teacher and see if they can't determine which boy it is (that's if I can't find the addy or the name) And they will keep an eye on him. I wasn't sure how involved to get in fact I really don't want to get too involved it should be the mom who is involved. But I wanted to ask the teacher first to see what she thought. So hopefully this way the teacher will keep a better eye on him and keep the teasing from happening at least at school. Out of school there is nothing they can do. Where does a 3rd grader learn how to be bully?? You guessed it his parents. It's just an awful situation. And one I hope that Zach won't have to go through. As of right now Zach is liked by all the kids but this is Kindergarten. Zach does get his feelings hurt absolutely easily and I'm so afraid that he'll get picked on later.

Awww man!!

I just realized that when I changed my skin I lost all of my comments :( :(

Wow time has flown

My SIL just sent me her blog link and it inspired me to at least try and keep up with my own. It's been nearly a year since I posted though. I usually use myspace..lol. Today I did nothing. Literally nothing. I have a buttload to do but I feel like arse. I quit smoking and I feel tired and cranky and I'm coughing. I forgot how fun this stage of quitting was...LOL. Matt and I went to pick up Zach from school today. It's so much like a high school there. Not in the actually school but with all the parents standing in there little cliche's I fit in nowhere. I hate picking him up. I feel so out of place. Most of my friends don't have children or if they do they have them Ashlee's age so I don't know anyone there. And you can't just join up with another group they deflect outsiders. Sounds silly I know. But I've seen them do it. Even Matt remarked on how that happens. At any rate so I was standing with matt and Ash and Zach's class came out. He apparently has been doing really good in his journal. They have these little journals they have to write and draw in everyday and Zach has been just scribbling in his. Well the teachers told us during Parent-Teacher Conferences that he should be doing more in there and they explained what it is they expect out of him. So we sat him down and long story short he's not drawing pictures with a story to go withit!! I'm so proud of him!!! On the way home we were all talking Zach as ususal was up ahead running home (that boy is FAST) well the crossing guard all of the sudden said "BOYS CUT IT OUT" and 2 boys pass us arguing. One was taunting the other one. Well I look over and the little boy whose being teased was crying and so upset he couldn't ride. So I got down to his level and asked him if he was ok. He was in the 3rd grade. I asked him if he wanted me to walk him home and he said yes so Matt and the kids went on ahead and I walked this little boy home. He was crying most of the way. I managed to cheer him up before we got him but once he saw his mom he broke down again. He said his mom thinks everyone is nice to him at school and from what he had told me this boy was pretty much a regular bully to him. Pushing him off his bike and making fun of him in recess. I asked him how he handled it did he get upset and cry everytime. And he said yes I said well you can't do that. He said well my mom said it was natural to cry I told him it was but that he couldn't show that boy how much it was upsetting him or the boy would never stop. I told his mom where he lived and hopefully she'll come talk to me once he calms down to get the whole story about what the boy was saying on the way home. I also really hope that she will talk to the boys parents and make them aware of how there son is behaving.

OK OK I guess I'll start updating.
Where to start. Charlie is HUGE now. He's super big doggie!! He's pretty good too. Still pees when he's nervous and scared but lol that's not to often. Unless someone new comes here and then it's like EVERYWHERE...lol
Zach and ash are doing good. I'm sick again. I'm always sick it seems like. I have a headcold :(
Matt's doing good I'm hoping he's home soon. He finally got his promotion fixed and we are waiting on backpay!! YAY!
It's almost Christmas YAY!! I can't wait!

I'm such a bad blogger! I haven't kept this blog or my other blog up at all. This new puppy is really keeping me busy. He has SO many toys and I praise him when he uses them but he still managed to chew up Ash's Elmo pieces, Zach's flip flops and my Fave. black old navy flip flops. Yes they were cheapies but they don't sell them right now and I honestly wore those things everywhere so I was really bummed out! The kids and I have been sick so that really sucks I hate being sick :( Zach btw is now FULLY potty trained!! YAY for him!! He still needs a pull up at night but only b/c he's SUCH a deep sleeper and doesn't wake up to go. He is almost 5 so I was really really worried about him and I knew I was pestering him too much so of course once I decided I didn't care anymore and just to leave it alone that's when he was like ok since you don't care I'll go...LOL. I have NEVER been happier!! 1 diapered child down and 1 to go!

I've been trying hard to get this weight off and it's SO hard! I'm still having my problems (if I talk to you alot then you know what I mean) so I think that has alot to do with why it's not coming off. My MIL keeps telling me to go see an endocrinologist so I need to make an appt with my doc and have him send me to them. It's such a pain I mean I'm NOT that fat! I'm 5'3 and 145 that's not that bad. Last time I saw that doc he told me that I need to eat 800 cals a day and that if I kept gaining pretty soon I'd need gastric. Why kind of nutjob says that! I know I'm not happy with my weight but am I at a healthy weight yes I think so. a little above it yeah but I'm not like 200 pds.

Matt's gotten ALOT better at calling home! It was SUCH a source of stress for me. So I'm glad that's it's working itself out. I'm ready for him to hang up him AF uniform and put back on the Marines!!

OK I need to clean the house and worry about dinner. Mom is still here so I'm getting a MUCH needed break. I really want to go on vacation though. I need to just get away from all the stress here. Not the kids really they arn't that stressful at all. It's stressful people and I could really use a change of scenery..:)

MY dog had to get put down yesterday this has been a majorly shitty week for me and then to top it off tommorrow is my bday.... great.

I just got back from Jersey it was a nice visit matt and I got a few things figured out. This deployment is make or break for us. Either he gets his act together or I won't be here when he gets back. I'm not asking him to do anything abnormal or change anything all I'm saying is hey pick up a damn phone and talk to you're wive and kids every now and then. Really not a big deal. If it can't then I understand that but every other freaking spouse has to tell me oh I heard from so and so today it's like nice they can call and mine can't. GRRRR.

I've also decided that I'm sick of people that need me to come to them. I have this friend who just dissappeared on me I PMed her I IMed her I sent her myspace messages I mean what more could I do. She wasn't online so I'm not going to call and be like um why arn't you on? I'm sorry but if I'm putting in effort it HAS to go 2 ways. Well I see her and she's like yeah you can pick up a phone ya know. I was like WTF you're the one not answering anything online I'm sure as hell not going to track you down and say hey be my friend. If I write and email and IM then I'm fullfulling my end of the bargain. If you chose not to answer then let that be on you and say hey ya know what I didn't try either. I hate that crap. I really really hate that crap.
