Ok so this past week has been really crazy.
My husband's grandfather passed away last monday. Nick went out to the field on Tuesday and came home on Wednesday when the Red Cross message was received. We drove the 6 hours to get there (only bad thing is Kaitlynn had a panic attack in the truck and we had to pull over for 25 minutes trying to calm her down and make sure she didnt have to throw up. She gets really bad motion sickness and has projectile vomit when shes in a vehicle longer than 90-120 minutes without dramamine in her system) We spent time with family at the visitation and then spent the night in the hotel. Only bad thing that happened with the hotel room is that Kaitlynn stayed up til 0130 and then around 0400 she actually fell outta the bed and then was up for the day at 0645. Nick wore his ASUs to the funeral because his grandfather was an Army Air Force Vet. We got a little upset at the funeral because the Army representative that they had out there was just horrible with all of his movements and folding the flag. Almost seemed half ass. Now I by no means am a professional funeral attender/flag folder but it was just so half assed that I thought I was gonna Gibbs smack him in the back of the head. (Yes a NCIS reference) It was really nice to meet more of my husbands family and there was a bunch of photos of Grandpa and while looking at them all I could see was my husband. Out of all the children/grandchildren there Nick looked exactly like Grandpa when he was younger. It was amazing and kind of weird at the same time. I know what my son will look like in his 20s (my hubs), in his 50s (my father in law) and in his 80s (Grandpa Williams). My husband's entire family seemed to be so happy when Nick wore his ASUs. They were very grateful and proud to have Grandpa honored in this way. <3 I love my husbands family.
We are home now and yesterday decided to take Kaitlynn and Tristan to the park down the street from our house. We were having a blast until Kaitlynn fell and his her eyebrow and split it. It looked pretty bad and bleed a bit. She only cried for like a minute and then was fine. She was more upset when we had to clean it than when it happened. We examined it and it wasnt deep enough or big enough to take to the ER and get stitches. We just made sure to have her stay awake for a few hours and kept a close eye on her. She was happy to just be able to run around that her head didnt bug her much. The kiddos got a pool yesterday and just enjoyed spending the afternoon playing in it.
Well I gotta go work on dishes and then get the kiddos ready for some more pool time! Hope all is well for whoever reads this!

Gotta love sick days...
My day has kind of sucked so I feel the need to vent...
Woke up at 0600 to make sure hubs got up for 24 hour Duty. He didnt get out of bed til 0730 and was about to head off work and then got really sick... Needless to say he got to work after 0800. He ended up having to come home because he was just non stop sick... :(. I thought everything would be okay and he would get some sleep and I would be a sweet wife and make some chicken soup over rice because I thought it would be good for him. I looked up a recipe and then went to the store and got all the items. Kaitlynn went with me because she was fine (or so I thought!). Got home and spent some time with my friend Amy and her kiddos. Made dinner and was all excited. Woke Nick up at 5 and told him dinner was done and it took him an hour and a half to get downstairs. He didnt even try the soup :( (yes I understand he wasnt feeling well but still kind of sucks and the soup was surprisingly very yummers!). I was a little happy thinking things would be better tomorrow and everyone was gonna be fine....... Kaitlynn came up whining a little bit so I told her to go sit down and what not... She walks to the other side of the living room and then starts to projectile vomit all over the place... I was like OMG and felt horrible and cleaned her up, put her in the bath and then scrubbed the carpet... She seemed fine after wards so Nick gave her some watered down crystal light (I gotta go to the Commissary and get pedialyte) She was good for about 15 minutes and she was sitting on the couch and then the projectile vomit came again... And now I know its odd to mention projectile vomit and everything but it definitely went about 3 feet in front of her. Kaitlynn is the only kid that I have ever seen literally projectile vomit... I know Im odd lol. But now she cant even hold water down... It is insane how fast an illness can come on... She showed absolutely no signs of being sick at all until around 8 at night... crazy! (yay she finally fell asleep) So now at 11pm at night I am writing this and going to do my homework for the night and sleep on the couch with Kaitlynn. I figured that since I have already had to clean up the living room twice that I figured I would keep it contained to just the living room... Dont want her getting sick in her bed or in mine... AHHHHHH thats all I have to say right about now...
Off to do homework before I get tired!
Happy Mother's Day to my fellow Mothers!!!!

Another Day...
I am writing this from my new office location (haha from the front room to the actual living room). I decided to make the front room the play room for the kiddos to have. Plus it has less access to the living room (movies, video games and what not) and the kitchen. I can work on my homework and stuff without fearing the kids destroying something else! Yay! I did this because I was fed up after walking back in the living room after 5 minutes into a Lab assignment to see my son smashing an egg in the couch and my daughter playing with a stick of butter. Now I think its confirmed that they wait for me to leave the room and get into everything. I got up and checked on them because it was way too quiet! lol! They were watching Dora and are normally yelling and singing along with her on TV so yea something was up lol. But now I can keep track of everything and monitor them without letting my homework get behind and I dont have to stay up late in order to get it done if they are misbehaving too much!
Now I need to have something that reminds me of the stupid decisions that I make so I dont make them again. This includes taking a 200 lb desk apart and moving it and also moving a big filing cabinet by myself. (I kind of maybe stratched my floor a little bit near the downstairs bathroom/front of the garage door.) I am definitely feeling it today. But I am counting it as a little bit of a workout for yesterday!
Ill probably update here later in the day... motherly duties are calling!

History in the making...
I was shocked to hear last night that Osama Bin Laden is dead... Now I personally feel a little relief about his death and if thats wrong than Im wrong. But... (no one get offended please) when you take out one "evil" person there is always someone who is more than likely worse than him to take his place. I pray that I am wrong but I have a feeling that this is going to cause more issues.
I am happy that his reign of terror has ended. And to each their own to celebrate it if they want. I personally am not going to run around screaming it from the rooftops or anything like that. My attention now goes to worry about our people overseas, deployed or not and their safety. We have already had Al Qaeda sympathizers in the US so we know they are out there. They could be in any city and in any country. So I worry about our people whether they are in a combat zone or in like Germany. Bin Laden's death is sure to ensue vengeance so Be safe to all my fellow Americans! I hope there is no incidents that result from this counter terrorism.
In other personal news... our battle with Kaitlynn and sleeping in ongoing. Saturday night was a really rough night but she slept until 0900 Sunday morning which was nice. She slept until around 0820 this morning. Which is amazing but now I am working on getting a new routine going for myself since I do most of my housework and homework while she is napping and Tristan is in school. Now with no naps and Tristan is going to be out of school here in about 2 weeks, I definitely need to rethink my schedule lol.
Class opened up last night and right now I am taking Data Analysis with Spreadsheets with Lab and Principles of Economics. Im really excited for my next classes because I get an accounting class!... I am a dork I know but its exciting.
Other than that, Nick is going to be training a lot more starting next week probably (ugh!) and I have my first actual FRG meeting that I am apart of tomorrow. :D
Hope everyone has a good day!
***Coupons***
I got tons of coupons from the newspaper last night but am only using some of them cause well I only use some of the items lol. Right now Im debating on where I am going to donate all the other coupons. I have a big ziploc bag full of them. And its a couple hundred dollars of savings so I think I am going to send them to the bases overseas.
