How is everyone doing with the deployments? Let everyone know how you are doing and if any of us can help out? Everyone have Xmas plans?

We are alive, lol. I'm still dealing with kid issues, but other than that all is well. I'm just looking forward to going to AL for Christmas. We all need the break. :yes

We're all okay over here... just a little depressed. Our anniversary is the 18th, and he's only been home for one of them. Very depressing.

But me and the girls are both alright. :) How are you doing, Traci?

I am good. The holidays and kids are keeping me busy. For me it seems like time is flying. it's hard to believe it's been a month already. The kids are doing good I am just having major issues with them fighting really bad the past couple of weeks. I am an oly child so I have no idea how much is normal and how much has to deal with Dad being gone. I find Jessica acting like she's Tom's mother alot. I have to call her on it then she is pissed at me.:dunno Maybe it's just her period.:lmao My parents and godfather are coming to my house for Xmas I also invited ashley5.:D I love cooking big meals.:lol

Colin and Caleb have been fighting horribly too. It drives me CRAZY. Colin tries to parent Caleb also. We should stick Jessica and Colin in a room together and they can drive each other nuts instead of us, lol.

Works for me! I always tell Jessica and Thomas that they can get me if someone draws blood other then that work it out.:lol

My kids aren't old enough to fight...and I am an only child, although I can tell you that when I was a Navy brat I was a ROYAL bitch. :giggle Maybe it's normal?

It seems like the days go by really slow, but the weeks fly by...does that sound stupid? :shrug

Well he's not technically deployed they are just out on sea trial but I've been at my parents house in Wyoming for a little over a month so I think it feels worse than it would if I got to see him once a week or so. I guess what I'm most upset about is since i've been here I found out I'm pregnant and haven't been able to be home to see dh and really get to celebrate with him.

That sucks! Thats gotta be hard.

Things here are ok... just keeping busy ( mailed over 40lbs of cookies between Db and my Brother) Family will keep me busy during the holidays, it will be a nice distraction!

that stinks. CONGRADS!! and I hope you and DH get to celebrate soon

I am good. DH comes and goes and is home right now. I've made tons of bakery. Traci/Erika (and anyone else in this group I haven't met yet, etc), if you need anything just PM me. Don't let the kids make you guys nutz!! and hope you guys are getting ready for xmas. We are going out of town to see my family.

I am not in VA but left my DB there for deployment. Life sucks the big one here. Haven't drank in a while but within the last two weeks I seem to be hitting the Vodka on the regular.

Hopefully I will get out of this funk.

Wish all of you the best. :hugehug

Girl my oldest is the SAME way he gets so mad and says he is sass talking me! HELLO your not his daddy buddy!! urgh drives me nuts. we are heading to NY for the holidays i could use some help. Ethans grades have come up a lot so that makes me very very happy. but i kinda wish that we were farther into the deployment then where we are for a major holiday! LOL

I am doing ok at this point...i guess. I am just taking eachday one at a time. At this point I am not sure what I am doing for christmas still trying to figure that out.

Things over here have been hecktic(sp) for the last three weeks. My youngest has been giving me the worst time ever,:hairpull he doesn't even
want to go to school and he is only seven and the school has called
me 21 days out of 31 to tell me that he wouldn't get off the bus or he wouldn't go into the classroom or that I need to pick him up from after school detention. My son is extremely :angry right now and I don't
really know why:no. On the plus side the other two children are doing just fine and they are not really giving me any problems at all, except for whe they came back from their mother's house after Thanksgiving they had a little bit of an attitude but I put a stop to that real quick. So I have to honestly say that I really wish this deployment was over. I glad to see that you ladies are doing good though.

:wow I hope things get better for everyone.

Things are going.

My Mom and stepdad will be here in a few days and will be spending Christmas with me and the girls. They're also bringing my photoshop and installing it so I can work magic with my pictures. :lol

Tomorrow we have the command Christmas party at the aquarium so I'm looking forward to that. It's going to be open for our command only. :D Then on Sunday we have another VTC with my Husband and I'm REALLY looking forward to that.
