Life conitues to spiral out of control around this house. Things are beginning to settle down and school is almos over. I am not getting a 4.0 but something very close. If I pass all of my finals with a min of a high B or an A then I will pull off a pretty decent GPA for my first semester in college. I have enrolled in 12 more credit hours next semster and they are all on line. I have almost all of my books ordered for next semster. I am waiting on the faulcty to finalize the course materials for my Fresh Comp class. I hope to be able to pick them up before Christmas Break. We shall see.

Hubby received word today that his conditional release was approved and he is seeing the recuiter tomorrow to put together his package and set a target date for MEPS.ed over a year ago. I guess someone had the wrong info or a change of heart. I am betting on both. Right before Thanksgiving we were told that his CR was denied since he took a bonus when reenlist We have almost everything. One more thing thing needs to be ordered and that will be done tonight. On such a tight budget we could only get one thing at a time. It has been a very draining process for me. As time has passed by I kept seeing us fall futher behind and no end in sight. Now I have a very guarded sense of relief coming over me. I will be believe this is happening when Hubby is on his way to Meps and then a few short weeks later at his first assigment. Whether it be a school, Blue to Green training or a unit is yet to be seen. We shall see and hopefully that will be in the net week or so.

That is the jist of where we are for now. I have been doing alot of self examination and asking Hubby many questions. It has been another draining proces. Since I have started back to school I have seen many differnt types of people. The divirsty is mind blowing to me. The people who stand out to me are the whiners. The ones who think we have to much homework or wait til the last minute to complete a major project. I have set my mind not to be like them but at the same time I am intrigued by their thought process. How can someone who has seen enough of life be so flipping negative about everything? It boggles the mind.

I must run and pick up two of the Kiddos. I am trying to make a nice dinner so we can celebrate getting the CR today. Plus finish studing for a math test tonight.

If anyone knows aout going from reserve to active please email me or leave a commet and I will email you. I have a couple of question on why we are at a standstill. Hubby is getting frustrated and I want to by pass that if possible. Thanks.

We have been sick. When I say we I mean 5 out of 7 people were sick in a span of 4 days in our home. I think it has stopped but we shall see. I was one of the selcted to be sick and it was just plain sucky to be sick and take care of others when all I wanted was to die. I am proud to say thought that we made it and everyone is back up and running at full speed.

I am on the downside of my first semester in college and am glad it is almost over. Now I know why they give you a month off before the next semester. I am going to need a break and catch up on my reading. I miss reading for fun. It is the one relaxing thing I do that does not involve leaving my home. I am seeing a 3.75 for my first semester only that is only because I screwed up on one of my math test. I am sure I can pull it up and get closer to a 4.o. I am happy. I did not drop anything and I stuck it out without complaning to much. :)Oh and Claire I got an A on the essay you proofed for me. It was spacing and little things that got me. Thanks again. And I am sorry for not letting you know before now.

The trip to MEPs was cancelled this week. Even though we are all in the system already they want to see orginal docs of everything from SS cards to Birth Certificates. We have lost soemthings to a fire, to various moves, and some people just throwing away packets of paper without knowing what is inside of them. Oh well. We are on the hunt for everything and should have papers by the end of this week. And right after Thanksgiving HUbby will be off to MEPS and we might know where we are going.

A few other things have been going on that I am not ready to talk about. I need to work through them and it has brought me down and unwilling to confront what the real problem is. Let's just say I have learned alot about myself and God has torn soemthings down. I am off to go home and take a long hot bath, drink a hot cup of mint tea and relax before bed. It is my only vice I have right now. Plus I am at school acting like I am doing homework but don't want to. :)

Well we see the recuiter tonight in about an hour. Hubby got the last signutare he needed yesterday and will be off to in processing next week. By this time next week we should know where we are going(I hope), if Huuby will loss rank, and if he has to go to a school. I have my Dream List laid out and we both agree on where we want to go. Now we just have to wait and see what Uncle Sam has in store for us. I am off to finish dinner for the Kiddos. With 3 of them sick now by the way, and then we are off to the Recuiter snas Kiddos. We have a few questions we need to ask and do not need any extra distractions. :)

These are for my friend Butterfly Wife. I am hoping she has a restful weekend and comes back rested and refreshed.
