In the life of me.

Thanks to the power zapping out, my computer is fried. Bry’s still works and at least we were going to replace mine with a laptop when our taxes get back. I’m tired of things breaking these past two weeks. I want something to go right for a change.

HRC has not confirmed our base choice as of yet. Bry was supposed to sign away 4 more years of his life to the Army, but since HRC hasn’t gotten their act together, it’s not happening. It needs to happen this week or he’s going to get screwed out of a bonus again. Hopefully we hear something today.

I’ve honestly had enough stress lately. For the past two weeks we’ve had heat, not have heat, had it back again, broken bathroom door, no bathroom door, new bathroom door, hot water, no hot water, hot water again, no water at all and back to no heat in the house, period. The DPW guys came up today and said the main hot water line is busted and that it needs replaced. They said they would “maybe” fix it today. I’m soooooooo ready to move!

You know who you are! This woman has been in a big part of my life. She and her family were so good to my family in the past. I will never forget the kindness and compassion they showed. Have a great birthday and I hope to visit you once we make our move to TX. It’s been too long since I’ve seen ya!

Love you!

Our parish is having a pilgramage to Medjugorje this year. I really want to go. Last year I missed out and this year, I think I will too. Bry wants me to go too but he does not think he can get the 4-5 days off so that he could watch John. Not to mention the price tag of the trip, nearly 470 Euros. Sure we could maybe stick in on a credit card, but I’d rather not, I want to pay those off. I have no idea if we’ll have taxes back in time for it either being that the W2’s haven’t come in yet either.

What stinks even more is that I had no idea it was so close to Split, Croatia when we were just there! I would have said forget the tour we did go on and see if we could have gone to Medjugorje instead. Oh well, such is life. Maybe if we get stationed here again we’ll get to go.

I must say, I did not vote for him. I felt he was too inexperienced. Honestly, I was afraid for that very reason. Now I see that he might do some good for our country. I saw bits of the luncheon after the actual swearing in. It was nice seeing how friendly he really is. I’m gonna give him a chance, after all, he’s my hubby’s new boss.

So this re-enlistment thing has brought on Mom issues for me. I find it funny how my mom can totally reject going on a trip here or on a cruise with us (which was their idea to begin with) and turn around the next month to go on a cruise or trip of their own. Most recently they left the day ater Christmas and returned the day after my birthday from the Bahamas. They went on a cruise…needless to say, I felt dejected again. Since I have been married, I have seen my mother four times. One time of which my husband was present and that was because he came with me…had to because we moved here. The other times I have seen her was once in CA while the hubby was away, once in PA when my grandmother passed when the hubby couldn’t be there again, and one other time after I had my miscarriage and Bry had to go do training. See the pattern? She’s avoiding my hubby. Then when word happens that he could possibly deploy, “Oh you and John can live with us then.” No. If she cannot make the effort to come see me, then why should I live with her?

This all branches out from when I was a teen and she was going through marriages like underware. She’d find a new guy, date him, go on trips with them and leave me at the house alone. Sure she’d leave money on the counter for me, but back then she really wasn’t there for me. It still happens to this day and not just to me, she does it to my sister too. They live on the same side of the US and my mom has gone to see her twice in six years. Twice! Even once they lived in the same state.

Mom seems to have an issue with our significant others. It’s like she thinks they are stealing us away from her. Which brings up a hippocrital thing towards my mother. Meems used to treat my mom that way with my father. Now mom is doing that towards our SO’s. Totally screwed up. She hasn’t even made the effort to get to know my husband. He has called her twice, once when we got engaged. That phone call resorted in an hour long lecture from my mother as to being sure that he would not get me pregnant. Then he called again roughly four years later to annouce that our son was born. I got an earful from her that he did not provide enough information fast enough for her. Sorry, it was nearly 5am when he was born and we had been awake for an entire day. He did call her before he dragged himself to bed.

I need to have a chat with her. My sis suggested writing her a letter. This has gone on far too long to have me merely write. We need to have a nice sit down. It’d be better if I could talk to her face to face. I want her to visit and I want her to visit while my hubby is around so they can get to know each other.
