I know I haven’t been writing much. Trust me. I haven’t been writing much of anything anywhere. It took me 8 days to write about Derric’s IEP meeting, and there are many minor things I haven’t written about at all. You could almost say I have been in a funk, but that really isn’t the right word either. I just have had a lot on my mind, and thou I would love to write about it all and share with any of my friends that still read here, but I honestly don’t know how secure this area is anymore.

I have been contemplating closing the server and moving over to either wordpress website itself, or blogger. I bought a huge server due to how many pictures I had posted, but now those are all over on snapfish. The only thing still on this website is just this blog and the family blog.  I might look into it in the next couple of months. The $60 I save a month can go to something more useful, like …. oh I have no clue, bills….

I think I just might do that. And anyone interested in still reading me, I would require emails from you so I could invite you to my blog. I honestly think I like the idea of moving it all to blogger. I do wish blogger would hurry up and make an app for the iPhone. Wordpress has one, but blogger doesn’t.

I am rambling. But that is ok. I think this weekend I am going to work on moving everything over. I do need to learn to make blogger designs thou, I do hate the designs they have…

Well, not much else to write about. Please ignore the pity party post. Not a funk, just, how I am honestly feeling right now.

The days are getting shorter, the nights darker. Ahh, the fall/winter time has finally arrived. We have been sitting in the low to mid 60s all week, which kinda sucks when all the heavy jackets are in need of new.

My iPhone has not arrived yet, which I knew it wouldn’t, but my computer is slowly dieing even more. I can not afford to take it in to get worked on right now, and I have no clue how much longer it will hold out. About all I can do is get on line now, I can work a little with my office programs, but it requires me to save after every edit because you never know when it will crash. There is no form of copy and paste still, which makes some matters really annoying.  It would be nice to have the iPhone so I can keep better tabs on the kids and school.

I have gotten myself into a decent routine, I get up with the husband, make him breakfast, and pack his bag. He heads to work, and I get about 10 minutes of quiet before Derric is up. I spend about 5 mins hold and cuddling him before I need to get the kids up. Getting them up an hour and a half before school starts is working much better than letting them sleep that extra 30 minutes. They are more awake when we head to the schools.

After walking the kids to school, and getting Derric situated with his aid in the morning, I come home, get myself a small breakfast, then curl up in bed with a good movie and my crocheting. No I will not say what it is… it be a surprise for my Tori in Az!! So ha!

By the time the movie is over (with many stops for walking around and lunch), it is time to head to the schools and get the kids.

We come home and I call them each one at a time for me to look through homework folders/agendas. I ask about their days (and much to teacher’s amusements) leave notes in their agendas. As long as they can give me a good run down of classes/days, they get a silly face and sticker. By collecting these, they get a star on a chart, which entitles them to 15mins of any form of electronic play over the weekend. (And to verify, I have daily emails from teachers!!! So they can’t lie to me)

I have some more indepth writing to do, but right now I need to get dressed and start my coffee.. The morning is going by while I am curled up at my computer. I will write more, much more, later… Probably tomorrow.

So, I thought my computer was on the mend… Until today, at least.

No, now my computer no longer copies or pastes, or drags and drops icons, folders, or files. Which kinda sucks.

Tired of everything, I decided I just want to reformat. Yhea, not happening for a while. I still have files I need off the hard drive that has my operating system….. Fuck!

I am thinking of seeing about taking it to the repair shop on base to have a look at it…. And all I want to do is journal, craft, print, and play games.

I miss my computer!!

This has been a very lazy weekend. The Husband had weekend Duty on Saturday, a report hour of 0800. After getting his stuff ready for him, I curled back up in bed. He left and I crashed. I was woken up by a very hyper and happy puppy because the Husband was back home… The time? 0938. Wow! That was his shortest shift in history!!!

So now what was the plan for the day? Curl up and cuddle!! Damn, that is something I haven’t done in a long time.

We were supposed to head to Wine Fest at Burnkcastle. Asked one friend if her family was going, got told no, not her thing (Only to find out later, they did go… ). Went to get a hold of another friend, but couldn’t.

I ended up taking a nap and sleeping until 5pm. That felt really good! We decided to go catch G.I. Joe at the theater. Good movie. Let the older three sit where they wanted, which of course they sat with friends. The Husband, Little Man, and I sat and watched the movie together. About half way through it, Little Man started to get bored of sitting. Knew he wouldn’t sit through the whole thing, but forgot my headphones that would let him watch my iPod. All but Daughter loved the movie. Daughter said she spent most of the time trying not to scream. Asked her why and she said it was scary… Scary? *shrugs*

Sunday was commissary day! The day of grocery shopping. The day I spend anywhere from $400 to $600 at once on food supplies that will last me all of two weeks. Not a day I enjoy.

Started unloading and putting the groceries away and realized, I forgot food! And stuff I needed for supper!!!! Gave Daughter some money and had her head back up to get it, but she couldn’t find all of it. Once I was done putting everything away, I headed up and found the missing items. Came back home and got to wrapping potatoes for the oven.

We had a lovely BBQ and I spent most of the night fighting with my computer. I keep getting the Blue Screen of Death when I play Sim City 4. I can’t find my old SimCity to see if it also blue screens, and so far it is only SimCity that does. Which really annoys me, as that was the game I have been wanting to play!

Today, is just another lazy day. With nothing really to do, a place to go, or people to hang out with. The Husband’s shift has been moved yet again, and not in the direction I was hoping. But this new shift will mean I get up earlier and might actually make it to the gym! Eeeks lol. I need to.

This is a very blah post today.

Oh, I know what will add a little to it! I get to get an iPhone!!! I am sooo happy. Once Apple gets the iPhone 3GS to the T-Punk store, I can pick it up. And the best part? I get it for free!!! For renewing my 2 year contract. I am sooo very excited. It could take up to 4 weeks, or longer to get it, but just the fact that I get an iPhone, and it can get unlocked to be used in the states. I am happy. With both the iPod Touch and the iPhone, I be having lots of games to play. Now if only there was a phone Kevin liked also, one that he could get the google calendar on… But it would need to be a slide or flip phone… Think I am going to go browse t-Mobile’s website for phones….

This first week of back to school has been harder then I thought. Honestly. The 6am alarm has been going off, but I am actually not hearing it until the 6:10 buzzard. I am sleeping threw the first one, and shutting it off while asleep. Not good. So the 6:10 goes off and I stretch, which is hard due to a child curled up between the husband and me. I turn off the alarm so not to wake the husband…. And the 6:20 alarms goes off… Fuck.

So I stretch again, this time more room due to child moving closer to dad. I hit the snooze again so as not to wake the husband…. And the 6:30 alarm goes off….. Fuck it!

Monday, I woke up at 6:00 no problem. Tuesday the 6:10 crawled me out of bed. Wednesday, I got up at 6:20 perfectly fine…. Thursday, I had troubles at 6:30… Today, I almost slept in till 6:40…. This is not good peoples.

But I crawled out of bed, grabbed my clothes and dressed, with said child that was sleeping soundly, waking up. I got 5 “Mommy, your up!” hugs as I made my way out of my room… I am finally dressed and slightly awake as I make my way down the stairs to the kids’ rooms…

First victim, er, I mean child, is Dokota… I open the door, which startles him awake (not sure why since I do this daily….) and go to be even crueler and turn on the light. The light flashes, and is out. grrrrr.

Kauchana is the next to wake up. She is a bit harder, mostly because she thinks she can be a total B and then smile and that makes it all better. I honestly hate waking her because of how she acts.

Xavier is the easiest to get up. Turn on light and he jumps out of bed and dresses within 3 minutes. That child is total morning child. Makes me sick.

Head back up stairs and Derric is already chowing down on breakfast. After his first little bag of poptarts, he is downstairs getting dressed and comes back up for seconds. That child can eat, when you find food he will actually eat!

Tis the same morning routine, but it seems everyday is getting harder and harder to actually wake up. Today I need to head to the BX, need light bulbs. Both Dokota and Kauchana’s rooms are out. I’ll by the bulbs, but they need to clean those rooms so I have room to replace them. I’m not sure I even know the colors of their floors anymore…

I also need to list my elliptical and waterbed on the yard sales website for this base. I have about 6-10 more weeks before my new bed arrives. So waterbed needs to be gone, and the elliptical needs out so I can move my bookcases from my room to the office. Which will clean up my bedroom greatly. Those bookcases make my room feel tiny and cluttered, even when it isn’t. And if we had thought about it more when buying the bed, we could have gotten the entire set because we are moving the bookcases, which will clear up room for the dressers. But we didn’t think about that when we bought it. Maybe an addition later in life. Right now, I just want my new bed.

Of course this does mean I have 6-10 weeks to break Derric of crawling in bed with me.. The water bed is easily to clean if he sleeps to hard and wets the bed. An actual mattress will be even harder. That is why his bed has the plastic. I don’t want plastic on my bed…

Oh well, I am rambling like crazy. I have an hour before the BX opens, two hours before the T-Mobile/TKS shop opens. I might be getting an iPhone, just need to do some research!!
