Day #10
Today I am thankful for the friends that the kids and I have made since moving to hawaii. I was really nervous to start all over again but we’ve been so lucky to have met such great people.

Thankful November {November 9}
Day #9
Today I am thankful for little boys who still like to snuggle in bed with me.
Omar: I am thankful that we went to fall festival.
Ready for the weekend
So today ended up being a busy, busy day…
Caught up with my aunt and sister on the phone this morning, managed to wash my hair one handed. Had to run out and get more cookies for our school cookie sales all the way out in Pearl City, mailed two boxes to my hubby and had to do a return at the NEX. picked up Omar at school, back home, back to school to pick up McKenna, back home so she could get her stuff together for her sleepover, back to school to get set up for the fall fest.
Fall fest went great, I spent most of the time in the cafeteria handing out cookies, but the kids had a great time running around, eating junk food and playing with friends. Faces were painted, pizza was eaten and prizes were won. I think out PTA made a good amount of money too which is great.
So as of right now I have no plans for the long weekend. I’m sure I’ll come up with something but right now I am planning on sleeping in and lazing around tomorrow. Okay I’m sure laundry will factor in there somewhere! I also have a ton of pictures I need to get off my camera. But I’m not planning anything, we’ve been keeping so busy I’m ready for a weekend off!
Thankful November {November 8}
Day #8
I am thankful for the fact that I am (reluctantly) a stay at home mom again. I love working, I love meeting people and I love doing a job. But I also love to stay home. We are blessed in the fact that we can afford for me to stay home with the kids, I don’t have to work, the kids don’t have to go into daycare for hours a day. My husband has encouraged me to volunteer or go back to school if I want. So I have pretty much thrown myself into volunteering, I really do love it. As of right now I am now the t-shirt seller at school, am finishing up a big cookie fundraiser at school that will end at our fall fest tomorrow, stepped up to be the president of our family readiness group and started fostering at the humane society. I love it. I have been able to meet a ton of people and it’s nice to feel appreciated and part of something bigger than myself!
Happy Birthday Baby!
So today is my husbands birthday and the poor man has to spend the day away from family or friends out on a ship in the middle of the ocean somewhere. I wish he could be home with us to celebrate.
We love you and wish we could spend this day with you. I can’t believe this is the 14th birthday that we have spent together (even if we are not technically together)! It’s been a wild ride and I am already plotting next year, when you will be home. We’re gonna do it big!
You have a family that loves you and is thinking of you all day today!
Seriously, my husband is so good looking and doesn’t look a day over 25… I LOVE YOU BABE!
So, yeah, this happened…
I finally went to the doctor today to get my finger looked at. It was the same finger that I had jammed in our last game and I kept telling myself that I just needed to give it time to heal. Well it just wasn’t feeling any better, it was still swollen and every time I tried to straighten it or hit it on something it still hurt like hell.
So off to get it checked, got some x-rays taken, doc tells me that it’s fractured for sure, there is a chip somewhere. So just great. I have never broken anything in my life, but I guess a finger isn’t a bad bone to break! So all was fine up until I got turned over to a corpsman to have it splinted. He made sure that finger got as straight as possible. I. Almost. Died. And I have a pretty high pain tolerance. So now I’m all wrapped up for a few weeks, hopefully my finger is normal after this.
I will say, I never realized how much you use your ring finger until every time I try to use it, it hurts! I can’t put my hair up, type, wash dishes, open jars! It’s terrible! My husband told me I should send his ship a red cross message so he can come home and help me! I can’t do anything, I am broken!
