Proud Army Parent

As of yesterday, my son Dennis is an active solider in the United States Army.  I couldn't be prouder.  I has made this choice all on his own.  He is following in his Great Grandfather(s) footsteps.  He is going to be apart of a tank crew.  Once my little boy, is now a grown man.  Where does the time go?  I am nervous I guess you can say, but I know God will take good care of him.

9 WEEKS!

Ashley took this picture for me last week.  At that time she was 9 weeks.  She went to the nurse visit today and the said she is 133 lbs and her blood type is A+.  Her actual doctor's appointment is July 8th now, which is frustrating to her for sure.  But by then they will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat.  They are so excited, and so are we.  Today I got her blessing to tell the whole world that she's pregnant.  That makes my one happy Nema.

Army Strong

Dennis has picked his MOS for the Army today.  He has chosen to be a Tank Crew Member.  I am very proud of him and the decision he made today.  This is a big step into the world for him.  It is a new chapter in life.  It funny how both of my kids are beginning new chapters and new lives at the same time.  I just can't believe how fast they grow up.  I wish that I could have them just a little longer, but I know I'm blessed to have kids that will be functioning adults and contribute to society in a healthy way.  I love them so much.  Army, I'm proud. 

Working with Kids

Where I work there are quite a few 18 and 19 year old kids.  And they like to bring the high school to work.  It is annoying and it wears me out.  Some days I feel like I am working back in the school I left.  Recently, there has been this girl that is really immature and thinks everyone is out to get her.  She is driving me crazy.  I just mind my own business, but she tries so hard to get me involved in hers.  Tonight I get to work with her again.  This night I will once again ignore all the garbage and hate that comes from her mouth.  Wish me luck.

The Demon Grape

"The Demon Grape Inside Me." I had to laugh when Ashley ended a phone call with that.  Tonight she is starving, but everything she has tried to eat has made her throw up. As she described eating Taquitos and potatoes, I made the comment, "Okay now we know that baby doesn't like Taquitos and potatoes."  I told her to try a fruit shake or or cereal.  She said that she will have Kris make her a chocolate shake, and she said that she has a Demon Grape inside me, well at least that is what the internet says.  Well the baby is the size of a grape not a demon.

Hanging with the Crew

Tomorrow I am hoping to hand with the girls form work.  First lunch, then the Cotton Shop, then maybe some games or a movie.  I can wait!

First Doctor's Visit

Ashley is on her way to her first Dr. appointment.  Her poor husband, Kris can't be there because he is working.  I told her to call me as soon as she gets out, because I am soooooooooo excited.  More to come soon.

Confusing

My darling husband is doing it again.  He tells me yesterday, that he can make all the bills with his paycheck so I can quit my job that way I can do things with him without asking for time off.  Sigh.  He has done this in the pass and I have quit my job, then I have no money, no social life, and no husband, because he has to work all the time.  Don't get me wrong, staying home is awesome, when you can have a social life, money for arts and crafts, and family close to you.  None of that will apply.  So I am not too sure about leaving a job that I truly love right now.  I really enjoy going to work, spending time with the adopted grandparents, and the family I have at work.  I really will have to think about it and set guidelines for my happiness.

Conformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashley just called me and the lab called her and said that she is very pregnant and they have set up an OBGYN appointment for her today!!!  I am so excited!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!  I'm starting a new chapter in my life with my daughter.  I have tears of joy running down my face as I write.  I want to go shopping and making blankets, and painting , and planning baby showers, and putting in 2 week vacation request now.  Oh my goodness.  I am feeling so full of life I want to explode.

Ashley has the cutest puppy in the world.  He name is Quinn.  She is a true American mutt.  She loves Ashley so much.  Mike also likes her.  You know how I can tell?  Look at what she is sleeping on...the couch. LOL  If you look close enough you can see Ashley's tiny baby bump too.
