24 August
Today, this deployment
is 4 months old.
I'm about to watch The Notebook. I hope everything I heard
isn't true.
25 August
thinks it's perfectly acceptable to rinse off the BBQ
implements in the garden hose when done using them!!
26 August
engaged in a battle of wits with the beagle last night. He
is the sneakiest of my kids.
liked Plan A better--the one that didn't include talking
any classes this fall. =/
I need help from my Hawaii friends--STAT!! Flower on left
means "taken" right? Or is it the right? Don't confuse me, now ;-)
In case your kids are taking chemistry, I recommend you
have them conduct the red cabbage + ammonia lab at a friend's house. Preferably
a friend you don't care for much =/
27 August
just challenged Ross Knudsen and Cindee Fox Nebeker to a contest to
see who can get the most friends to change their profile pic to the lovely one
you see displayed to the left of this status! So, there you have it. Your
mission is to change your profile pic crediting me for the idea so I can win.
at connor's insistence just finished Stranger Than Fiction.
Good flick.
is getting confused with so many identical profile pics.
Whose idea was this again?
28 August
is now free to change her profile picture back to . . .
something besides a highjacked photo of a DQ Peanut Buster Parfait. The contest
winner is Cindee Fox Nebeker! Hope you enjoyed your guilt-free PBP!
is not at
all bitter that the work I just spent an hour writing up for my class
disappeared via "error" when I tried to submit it. Not even bitter
about the fact that this happens at least once in every class taken and that
it's only AFTER this happens that i remember to copy the thread before
attempting to post it because if it disappears, it’s just gone. Like Toby Keith said, “She’s goooooone!”
29 August
needs back replacement surgery--STAT!
31 August
Housing installed vertical blinds on our back door and
Caleb thinks they did it so he'd have something new to play with =D
helping lead my first Parent to Parent workshop this
morning. Sink Library at 10:30--Early Literacy for parents and children! If you
have little ones, and you are at Fort Campbell, you should come! www.militarychild.org
"Mom, this is really weird. I can't find anything about
this Riot Squad Records patch that dad sent."
"Well, if you can't find it on Google, then it
doesn't exist."
1 September
somewhere in my house is a half-drunk cup of coffee
unflatteringly cooling itself off while it hides from me. And no, the cup is
not drunk nor is the coffee itself. I just do not know the correct English for
past-perfect for that particuluar verb. Or is that even the right verb tense?
" . . . and that's all I'm going to tell you because
its actually pretty complicated for a 97 page book!"--Connor on why I
should read Animal Farm.
"No Mom. He's just showing you what it feels like to
be ignored!"--Caleb, explaining why Connor just said "what?"
pro deo et patria!

September
hopes to see lots of friends at Jazz on the Lawn today!

September
Is it possible that there's a TV character more stupid than
Matt Parkman on Heroes???
"So mom, if you're fluent in sarcasm, does that mean
you're bilingual?"
"Yes Caleb. That's exactly what it means."

Maybe it would have been best to not have had ESPN3.com
recommended by Steve Bast C'mon BSU!!

Best Netflix genre category: Witty Opposites-attract
Romance. 2nd Runner-up: Critically-Acclaimed Fight-the-System movies.

September
I wish I hadn't spent so much time hating school when I was
a student. Now I can't get enough of it. I got to sub at a jr. high today and
it just made me happy being there! I could live at school and be perfectly
happy!!

September
has no idea what fell to the wayside today, but homwork is
done, financial aid is stratightened out for class, and Connor applied for a few
scholarships thanks to www.fastweb.com.

September
I naively thought that avoiding the news would be a smart
thing to do during this deployment. Maybe I'm going to have to avoid facebook
too? Say it isn't so =/
11
September
"Let's roll!"
just wants to say "thank you" and "I love
you" to Corey Arnold today. Can't wait til you come home again :)
On my walk today, I noticed an empty cigarette box and I
knew I was going to pass a garbage can in a quarter mile or so, so I picked it
up. I wonder what the passers by thought since I was clearly not on a leisurely
jaunt. "Can't that lady even manage to get through her exercise time
without a cigarette?" Oh well. Things aren’t always as they seem.
12 September
Oh yeah? Well my shopping cart is louder than your car! So
there.,

13 September
The Military Families edition of "Minute to Win
It" is scheduled to air tomorrow on NBC You'll have to check your local
listing for time. We have no idea if we made "the cut" or not!
So Connor Arnold made note that too many of his friends like things and it clogs up his
newsfeed. So he complained about it in his status. And Mikayla Twite liked it.
14 September
Remember to tune in to "Minute to Win It" tonight
on NBC to catch the Military Families edition. Some families from our unit got
to tape shout-outs to their soldier. Again, not sure if we made the cut. Check
your local listing for time.
Remember to watch "Minute to Win It" tonight on
NBC to see families from our unit saying hi to their soldiers overseas! Then
let me know how it turns out because we don't get any TV channels--haha! Repost
if you want :)
Hooah--Fort Campbell/101st ABD is representin' tonight!!
15 September
Felt like I spent the day in a time warp. It was like I
traveled back in time to 8th grade. No, wait, I did spend the day in 8th grade
. . .
You have not lived until you've driven a van full of
teenage boys home from youth group singing the Pokemon theme song. Word for
word. On key. Both verses. (Did you even know there were two verses?)
16 September
"I was just talking out loud . . ." said Caleb Arnold by way of explanation for rambling. That's quite the observation
there, kid! ;-)
needs some downers for the cat. Anyone got a tranq dart?
17 September
Pau Hana. TGIF!!!
Subbed for the Espanol teacher today. And now the voices in
my head have Spanish accents =/
18 September
I was just thinking that sometimes, we get so behind our
political ideal that we fail to see common sense if not presented by the one
with the right color tie. I don't think Independents are all that sensible
either cuz it's awful easy to adopt an ideal. A little harder to put it into
practice.
Could not get Liberty's page to load to finish classwork,
so Caleb and I were "forced" to watch a movie instead. I have a new
appreciation for why John Newton referred to himself as a wretch.
19 September
well. since you mention it i am not really sure how many
olive garden breadsticks can fit in one of those little togo boxes. Maybe you
should ask Caleb Arnold. ;)
got an extension for the assignments due tonight. I can
read all my classmates' posts--I just can't get the window open to reply to
them. Guess I get to go to bed early tonight :)
20 September
I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I totally fixed the
internet problem all by myself. Well, I had a little help from Jeff at
AT&T, but I gotta say that is one good thing about deployment--You just
gotta figure it out. There's no waiting for hubby to come home and fix it.
Thanks for the opportunity to figure things out for myself Corey Arnold but don’t get any ideas
;-)
21 September
did not know there were still applications out there to
block! Been slackin' =D
22 September
The weirdest things remind me that my best friend is away.
Like putting the clothes in the dryer. Not my fave thing to do and wouldn't
usually associate it with Corey Arnold (since I'm not known for my domestic skills) but nonetheless, that was
the catalyst for the melancholy moment last night.
Connor Arnold seriously needs your help!!! He's on the yearbook staff for Fort Campbell High
School and is required to sell 11 more ads for the yearbook at
$50 each! PLEASE (that's begging, not yelling) if you have any reason at all to
advertise in the Fort Campbell area, please let me know. He has been asking
everyone he sees and he has until Oct. 1!
Thanks Missy Scrivner for supporting our yearbook efforts this year! Good luck in your
Scentsy business!! Feel free to post a link to your page below if you like :)
23 September
10 cc's of coffee. STAT!
was tripled booked tonight. Decided to stay home and
finally do that homework. A little sad to miss Bastogne Homefires, though :(
"Well, you're a girl, Mom! You're designed to do
everything at once!!"
