Running On Low

I was suppose to be done babysitting for one of the two families I babysit for last week and I am scheduled into next week. It's my own fault and it's really not horrible because I need the money and I don't mind helping someone out, but there are reasons that I decided to give my notice. One of those reasons is that I can't sleep the night before I have to watch these kids. Last night I got four hours of sleep, I am a robot. I'm having dinner at the Manning's house for the second night in a row. Sam isn't the happiest with me because I drove our car into a small river... Not really, it was just a road that was incredibly flooded. I failed to notice something amiss and yeah, things that are not suppose to get water in them got water in them. That'll teach me to go out driving during tropical storms. My cousin was born August 9th. It's cool. My baby and my cousin are going to be born the same year. One of my baby showers is this Saturday. I'm SO excited. I'm not really expecting anything. I'm just glad I'll have a bunch of my Virginia friends in one place at one time. Sam hasn't ever really thrown a party inviting a bunch of my girl friends. It's always his navy buddies. Not that I mind them a ton... just a little. Especially last Friday night! They were driving me nuts! Sam decided to invite a "few" people over at 10:30pm and nobody was going to get really drunk or anything, so what happens? There's like 12 people in our apartment, someone waving their knife around outside, and a fridge full of beer and no food. Oy! I shouldn't complain too much. Sam has been great for this whole month, and when I say great I mean helping with housework, seeming interested in me and things having to do with the baby, and other stuff. I've liked being around him. Hopefully the car is fixed soon and he can stop stressing about that. As for me, finding an apartment in Cali and booking hotels along the way is what I need to be worrying about.

**EDIT:(8/16/10)

I realize now Sam was probably SO ticked about the dumb car cuz he was worried about visiting his girlfriend who lived in Richmond, two hours away.  *END EDIT

Just so you know, Rocco, Kris, and Renee all agree that it's entirely not your fault that you drove through a deeper-than-you-realized puddle and there is no reason for your husband to be mad at you about it. And your shower will be kick-ass, as much as a baby shower can be kick-ass.

Busy, busy, busy!

Ever since I found out about moving to CA I've been going crazy with planning and things like that. I feel like I got a lot done this afternoon, just from looking up a couple of hotels to stay at and things like that. I still need to find a place to live and I need to get in touch with the people who are going to move my things. My friend Jessica is still on vacation with her husband and kids. It's made keeping up with online things very difficult. Anyway, if I get a chance in the near future to give a good update I will. As for now the computers at the library are about to shut down. Baby is doing well, Sam and I are doing well, I stop babysitting for the family of three next week, I'm having a baby shower on the 21st and Sam and I have planned to leave for Cali on the 12th of October. That's all for now.

You know you can come over here anytime and use the computer! I really won't mind at all. Have you gotten any RSVP's for the shower yet? I haven't. Let me know when you want to get together to talk about food and stuff. Peace!

To Cali It Is!

Sam got his orders today for Camp Pendleton, CA. We don't know when we'll move yet, but we know where! Tomorrow is my ultrasound, I'm VERY anxious... I've had a good day, nothing too stressful happened so basically I've been chillin'. Tomorrow morning Jessica and I are going grocery shopping, whoo hoo. (Note the sarcasm.) Grocery shopping is such a pain in the ass sometimes. I slept at the most three hours last night, so yeah, I was exhausted today. Sam and I are having some technical difficulties with his bank account... how annoying! I'm in a writing mood, but I can't think of anything to write about. :-P

Happy Me!

I have been pretty happy lately. It's really nice. Things between Sam and I are always unpredictable, but having a new friend who's always around and who is very understanding is making my life incredibly more bearable. I'm watching Jessica's two and one year old right now. The three week old has a doctor's appointment. While babysitting I'm also getting my laundry done. At first I was a little uncomfortable that Jessica seemed so willing to let me do my laundry using her machines, but since I can provide a service (babysitting) I feel a lot better about it. I told her the other night that I feel like I have a roommate. I would like to move to California and be closer to Sam's family, but in a way I would like to stay here because I'm getting used to it, and I have at least one friend who will be here for a couple years for sure at least, and I have jobs here and it's beautiful, to me anyway. I don't know. I guess I'm a little confused about what I want. I just know that I'm really glad to have made a friend like Jessica and I don't want to lose that. Her husband is going to be home on the 24th! I'm hoping that he and Sam click. That would be awesome. Tonight we're going to watch Outback Jack. I saw it for the first time last week and I liked it, and it turns out that she likes it too, so we've made a date. Hehe, last night she and I were looking at lingerie on the internet and when we were in a search engine Sam knocked on the door. It was great timing. Tomorrow I have off and I do believe if it's nice we are going to the pool on the Amphib base. With three little ones that should be quite the adventure. Sam will be on the ship awaiting his orders which could come anytime between the 14th and the 16th. I'm hoping for the 14th or 15th. My ultrasound is on the 16th and I REALLY want him there. Jessica and I are going to the mall on Friday morning. We've also decided that some time we're going to find a babysitter for the kids and dress up and go out to dinner and a movie. We feel that there are not enough occasions where we have to dress up, so we're making one. I'm excited. Another thing we were talking about doing was having a halloween/costume party... either in September or October. Other than what I've written I'm not sure if anything else has happened or is going to happen... One of the three year olds that I babysit for pulled a hot tub cover over him and bashed into the side of the tub. He's got 10 stitches. Five are on his forehead and five are under his lip... Poor little guy. He's tough though. I guess that's probably all for now. :-)

can't wait to hear about the ultrasound. hope it goes well!

hey stranger
It sounds like you're really enjoying yourself out there. I'm happy for you. I'm sorry that we haven't been able to talk much lately. I hope to talk to you soon. I'm glad you've found Jessica. Luv ya, Kathy

A Little Bit of Something...

Today I got up at 7:31am, showered and booked over to my fairly new neighbors town house. She had a couple of appointments and I felt like trying to help as much as I could with her three kids under three. This chick is 22 and just moved to VA from Hawaii. She and her husband were stationed there but she's no longer active duty. Her husband is in Kuwait, but he should be home in about 15 days. Anyway, I might bring her up again, so her name is Jessica. She's really funny and sweet and fun to hang out with. I have been spending a lot of time with her and her boys since I met her. Actually, today alone I have spent about twelve hours with her now. The other day I got choked up when I was telling Sam about wanting to spend time with her. It seems like it's been a really long time since I've had someone who I felt like I could talk to about anything and hang out with at any time. But yeah, since I'm having such a fun time with her I'm going to get off the computer and hang out. Bye for now.

One other thing, Sam and I are getting along again, nothing was really resolved, but we're talking and being friendly.

Nothing Really...

Your love is...
Your name is yoshi_rose
Your kiss is breath taking
Your hugs are friendly
Your eyes light up a day
Your touch is the only thing I desire
Your smell is amazing
Your smile is hypnotizing
Your love is eternal

A Long Weekend...

Sam is still being a dork. Ugh! He drives me crazy sometimes. He's so stubborn, and while I find that attractive sometimes, I DON'T find it attractive ALL the time. Tonight, if it stops raining, we're going to go out on a boat in the ocean to watch fireworks. I'm very excited. I love the fourth of July. Usually I love it because it means cuddling in a romantic atmosphere, but this year I love it because I get to be by the ocean. I'm quite eager for the 15th to come around. I want to know where I'm going to be for the next while. I don't know if that made sense, or what the true definition of while is, but I know what it means. Anyway I suppose I don't have anything that's very interesting to write about right now so I can go.
