…back again, lol. So we got back from Virginia Sunday night around 7ish, it was really weird to tell you the truth. The weather had been rainy all the way through South Carolina and when we got back into Charleston it was just a weird type of hazy look to the atmosphere… kept feeling like I needed to wipe my glasses .

Anyhoo, Virginia was good and I had a nice time visiting and whatnot, but I definitely think 2 weeks without my own car was too much, lol. Seriously, I felt like a caged cat by the time the first week was over… especially when there would be something I needed or wanted and I couldn’t just hop in the car with the kids and go get it. Nope, had to wait until my IL’s got home from work in the afternoon . We did end up going to West Virginia to visit hubby’s Papaw and some of his aunts/uncles/and cousins while we were there. We even went to the WV State Fair, no offense but when you come from a state like California and have seen what a huge fair with everything’s got it’s a little bit of a let down to see a fair like the one in WV. It was still nice though so I’m not gonna complain.

Our new couches are due to be delivered sometime tomorrow, the furniture people are supposed to call and let me know a time today. I did manage to get all of Haley’s school supplies while in VA and last night she got to meet her new teacher and see where she’s going to be sitting in class . She started school today and was quite excited and a little nervous at the same time, lol. Got a couple of pics of her in the class and with her teacher so I will probably put those up in the ‘pictures’ section of the site. If you need the password just leave a comment stating so… if you’re a frequent visitor or someone I know well enough then I’ll send it to you, if however you are a new visitor or a stranger to me still then I’m sorry but I probably won’t send you the password… no offense. Michael is still home for another year thanks to having a late birthday, but he seems quite well at the moment having the house all to himself, lol.

Now while I was in VA I picked up the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and holy fuzzy, but I had the hardest time putting that book down… I mean I was ENGROSSED in the whole story!! It’s almost an obsession at this point just ask Jo, rofl! So right after I finished the first book I went out and bought the 2nd one (New Moon) and oh man I freaking cried like a baby reading that book… I mean really, for a book to bring me to sob-like tears is saying something, lol. Sooo…. as soon as I finished that one I went out and got the 3rd and 4th book (Eclipse & Breaking Dawn), lol! I know patheticly obsessed ! I can’t wait for the author to release Midnight Sun, but who knows when that’ll be… in the meantime I guess I’ll go read my books more than 2 times now, lol.

In other book/movie news, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (the movie) won’t be out in theaters until next Summer now… dang it and I REALLY was looking forward to seeing it, what a tease, lol! On the other hand Twilight the movie took the HP slot in the theater release date and will be out 3 weeks earlier than originally scheduled, so if I’m in California for Thanksgiving I know exactly who will be going with me to see it, lol!

Well, I guess I have a pile of laundry that needs to be taken care of along with cleaning and rearranging things in the livingroom for the furniture tomorrow. TTFN my sweet peep’s and I’ll be back soon hopefully, lol… if not throw me the life raft !!!

Well I’m in Virginia now My MIL & FIL called on Wednesday and asked if I wanted to come up with the kids to stay with them since David was going to be leaving for an ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection) in Michigan, so I talked it over with him and then decided that I would go ahead and go. Well then Thursday he calls the furniture company (don’t recall if I mentioned we’re getting new couches this month …) and they tell him that the couches will be arriving on the 5th and he tells me then that I can’t leave since someone has to be here to receive them. Well I know how my darling hubby can be and I know he didn’t ask many questions, lol. So I called them up Friday morning and asked them what the process is and where the couches go first and who gets called when, they get a call 2 days before the furniture arrives with THEM and then they call US and schedule a good date for delivery. Sheesh, so I was good to go So all yesterday evening I spent packing our clothes for the car ride at 9:30am… man was I tired I went to bed at 1am and woke up at 5:45am and went for my run at 6am since I hadn’t run yesterday morning. So here I am… 9-something at night and my eyes are HURTING, lol!! I’m SO going to sleep soundly tonight So before I go heading to bed, I’m gonna catch you all up on what’s going on with my friend Renee’s daughter Aubrey which I wrote out this morning.

Aubrey was given a referral by the doctor on base to be taken to MUSC Peds ER on Thursday morning where they gave her two bags of IV Fluids to rehydrate her and kept her there the whole morning and most of the afternoon. As far as they could tell without seeing the lab work they had no idea what was wrong with her and couldn’t give her any medication to treat her since they couldn’t diagnose it.

Yesterday I called Renee to see how Aubrey was doing and for the better part I guess you could say she’s feeling slightly better (which I know for sure had to do with being so dehydrated), she’s still having diarrhea and milder stomach cramps. The doctor’s or nurses for that matter haven’t gotten back to her about the labs, but I can tell you from my own personal resources that the labs are indeed in, lol. So I guess at this point since it’s the weekend she’ll just have to wait until Monday to talk to the doctor, I suggested she just go up there and talk to either him or his nurse since according to the appointment line it’ll take the doctor 3 days to just return her phone call (I think it’s crazy to have to wait even this long on reading lab work!).

Haley got to talk to her friend on the phone yesterday and it was the cutest thing to hear them tell each other they loved one another and that she hopes she gets better really soon She was thanking Haley (and Michael) for the get well soon card and gift they gave her. Lol, I decided against Haley getting her flowers because it just seemed a bit morbid to tell someone get well soon and in a couple of days your flowers die… yeah I think that way

Anyhoo, if I hear anything else or if they ever figure out what’s going on I’ll let you all know and just to let you know Renee and her family REALLY appreciate(d) the prayers that were sent and thanks you all

Well that’s it for me today, I’m out like trout dude’s and dudette’s, lol! Oh one more thing!! I updated CFC with new graphics and a new layout and I had to reinstall a new plugboard, so if you’ve got a site and a logo the size of 88×31 then feel free to post and if you get a chance leave me a tag and let me know whatcha think

Okay now I’m off to la-la land…
