BAD day

so today started off horrible and just got worse from there. i've been going rounds with direcTV for the last few days because they installed my dish on the roof. they'd told me they got approval from housing, but (lo and behold) they didn't. sooo, now i have housing up my ass threatening eviction and directv is delaying coming out here to take it down!!! housing has been bothering me all day about this and i'm sick of it.

our car broke down again...and this time, i think it's computer problems. lights are flashing, warnings are dinging, the car's convinced the door's open when it's not, it randomly shuts off, etc. we just replaced the alternator and starter with ALL of our extra money this paycheck, so we're pretty much screwed. THANKS OBAMA FOR THE SHITTY MILITARY PAY!!!!!!!!!

not only that, but lonnie's chain of command has been treating him like shit and threatening chapter 14 on him once a week or so.....yesterday and today has been especially bad...AND IT WAS ALL OVER A DIRTY FLASH!!! i had JUST cleaned the damned thing, so i KNOW it was clean. not only that, but the NCO who was chewing him out had HOLES in his own beret!!!! pathetic, i tell ya. i would LOVE to get my hands on mejia or hanes...i'd give either one of them an ass chewing they wouldn't forget until their dying day!

jessica's just about two, so naturally, she's constantly throwing temper tantrums. couple that with new baby jealousy and missing-dad-itis, and she's CONSTANTLY howling...i love the girl to death, but i swear i have a headache every day anymore. of course, having a newborn in the house means i can barely get anything done, so my house is messier than it usually is...which really bugs me and makes it easier for jess to get into things.

i sure hope tomorrow goes better.......

NObama!!!

So what's up with the way obama's treating troops?! i mean, seriously, does he really care that little about our country's defenders? oh, wait, of course he doesn't care...he doesn't even have enough pride in the country he runs to put his hand over his heart for the pledge of allegience or national anthem! first, he proposes a ridiculously low pay increase (1.3%, then congress raised it to 1.9%). Seriously, this isn't even keeping up with inflation, so it's basically a pay DEcrease!!! most enlisted military families live paycheck to paycheck as is, which is sad considering what our soldiers do for this country.

then, he cuts the number of slots for several MOSs, including medic (as well as budget for civillian doctors). what does this mean? if one of my children get sick, the average wait in the on-post ER is about nine hours!!! INSANE! i have to schedule appointments months in advance in the pediatrics unit because of shortage of pediatricians. does this seem wrong to anyone else?!

there's lots more (and i'll probably blog about it at a later point when i get worked up about that jackass again), but i'm tired and am going to bed. january 2013 can't come soon enough!!!

Changes in life

ever feel like your floating above your life, watching it happen...yet not quite living it? three years ago, i was finishing high school, holding down a job i hated (silicone factory), and my biggest worry was what i was going to do on saturday night. now, all that's changed. i'm married (kind of). i have two absolutely beautiful children (Jessica will be two in July and Lonnie Ray is 6 weeks old), of whom i'm a stay at home mom to. i'm in college for law enforcement and getting ready to apply to the cumberland county sheriff's department.

isn't in amazing how fast a person's life can do a complete 180?! it feels like i should still be that carefree teenager, yet here i am...all growed up! *toothy smile* so, basically, this blog will be about all things me. my family, my thoughts on various things (BEWARE: i'm into politics, am extremely conservative, and HATE obama...you've been warned!), and whatever random things pop into my head. :) happy reading!
