Another Week Down
| I have so much to do and I can't seem to get off my ass (lazy bitch). I am so tired and I cannot come up with anything wity to say. So, I will just ramble, which we all know I do well. This last Tuesday I ordered a Deployment Bracelet for myself. I wanted something I could wear out to support Sniper and remind me of him (Like I really need any reminders and don't think about him constantly. I wear his sweats and t-shirts at home, but I don't think those things would fly at work. They already probably think I am nuts and I don't need to give them anymore ammo). Friday (4 days, wow) I received it in the mail. It came out so much better than I could have asked for. It really is beautiful. Go visit here to see what Sheree can do for you. They are well worth it. The charms are a "Marines" "Heart Flag" and a "Support Ribbon"
Yesterday, I had a few Marine moms and my Army Aunt over to my house to Scrapbook for the day. None of us got shit accomplished. We spent the whole day reminiscing about "our" Marines and our "Soldier". We talked about the differences of Army Life vs. Marine Life. It was nice to finally find a few woman who "get it" and "understand" what life is like on this side of the pond. Bless my Aunt's heart, but I know she probably gets tired of hearing all my shit (I love you Auntie). Bubba also came over and spent a few hours as well with us. I really enjoy having him around. Up until the last 2 weeks, I hadn't spent much time with him since Sniper was here for New Year's. I miss having him around. This morning, Bubba and I went over to the mall and each had a Dog Tag made for Sniper. Bubba asked me last weekend if I would take him to pick one up for his dad. I had been thinking about it for awhile and just hadn't done it. Now it's done. We also had an identical one of Sniper's made for Bubba. They turned out pretty cool. They have a 3-D picture on one side and a inscription printed on the other. I will have mine out tomorrow in the mail. Bubba needs to write a letter and then we will mail his out as well. I hope Sniper enjoys the little piece of us here at home with him.
Until The End Of Time, You Will Always Have My Heart. I Love You It's been a few days since of I heard from Sniper, "No News, is Good News." Right? Right? Right? I knew it was coming, it just doesn't make it any easier. Oh well, I have my straw out and am "sucking it up." dyzgoneby 369 days until your in my arms again FYI...It took me to frickin long to upload just these two little messily pictures. Thanks blogger. |

post a commentHey you. Sounds like you have had an unproductive weekend like mine. Such as life I suppose. I have to get off my lazy butt too. I have two weeks now until my daughter's first birthday is here and have so much to do. We will see what happens. So much to do. Not enough time ever to do it in though. Surely this week will be all better but I would not count on it.
Hey DGB:
How're ya doin? Looks okay to me. Like the tags. There is a chance that Sniper will let you know that he can't wear them on some missions. Having something "heartful" like that could come to hurt him if he were in a jam. Not usually, and I know he'll think lots of it. Glad to hear that you and Bubba are doing good. I thoroughly enjoyed every stepkid I had,(lots), and they me. Firstly, we didn't use that word. We were mom, dad, son, daughter, The only thing lacking was "blood", and we replaced that with "heart".
Speaking of........I've just spent the last 3 days getting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson and daughter moved up here to the stix. His 8 or so hogdogs won't shake the neighbors shit out here. They're 18 miles from me. Close enough to visit, far enough to not hang out.
Blogger sucks. I've made posts, and can't get them to go up. I may just go ahead and get myself a full domain and do my own thing. I can't even get my photo to open in the site. I'm looking for better. Same old "fair value for the price" thing.

Nice bracelet...and dog tags. I take it Sniper is doing fine since his run in with the IED. Glad to hear it...hang in there girl.
Christy....I have another huge party on Sunday to get ready for and have done absolutely nothing. I love to wait for the last minute, then it's "oh shit" time. Don't wait on your daughter's first bday for that.
Frankie....My ex & I never use the "step" for anything. His wife is there MOM not there step-mom. I am the biggest supporter of this. Sniper has a different opinon then I do, but he will learn to deal with it. Me, I am just loving the fact that Bubba and I are become close.
Kbug.....Sniper's leg seems to be healing pretty well. The doc reassured me of this.
That is a great bracelet. I'll be checking her out...
