I thought I would go with a theme for this post. Just the normal highs and lows of everyday life (I am all about truth in blogging) around here.
H- I voted for an American Idol contestant for the first time! I feel like I am really making a difference in the outcome of the show.
L- SOS... you military ladies know what that means for us. For those of you not in the military... sorry but I am not going into details since this is a public blog.
H- Sorting through all of John's baby clothes and remembering how cute he was when he was all little. He is still cute now but you know what I mean.
L- After an hour and half of sorting the aforementioned clothes, I got really tired and in a bad mood. Plus they were a bit dusty so I was sneezing like crazy.
H- The Olympics are fun to watch. They are a nice break from ordinary T.V.
L- I find that after about 15 minutes of the Olympics coverage I begin to get bored and wish the normal shows were on TV.
H- Lisa Lingle! She is our friend from Lakenheath who moved here the same time as we did and she has been such a help with John. She has watched him during many of my OB appointments as well as helping out at other times just so I could have a break. What a blessing.
L- Still debating if I should paint our master bedroom. I am paralyzed by the decision.
H- I am hosting a brunch for my squadron on Monday. I am excited to meet some new ladies as well as let John make some new friends with the squadron kids. Our squadron here is new so it is not very tight, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and start hosting events!
L- After over three months of waiting, I think it is safe to say that my medical records (all of them, including my OB chart) and John's shot records are officially lost. When we left San Antonio Dave did all the appropriate outprocessing for our medical records, but they never made it here. Moral of the story: military ladies always ask for extra copies of your kid's shot records and a copy of their last physical before you PCS, even if they assure you everything is in "the system." Next time I am going to request to hand carry everything if possible as this is a big pain.
H- Tomorrow I will be 30 weeks along in my pregnancy and things are going well. I feel much more prepared (though you would never be able to tell that by looking at the baby room) and the gallbladder pain (or whatever it is) hasn't been too terrible as of late.
L- I have yet to make anything really good in the crockpot. It all ends up tasting just so-so.
H & L (ahhh what color do I highlight this one??)- Our good friends the Wee's just had their second baby boy in England. We are so happy for them, but at the same time so sad that we are so far apart. I wish I could be there to celebrate and help them out.
Please know that I am not so shallow as to not know that there are a lot more important highs (like the many who are coming to Christ in China) and lows (Haiti) in this world, but the above mentioned ones are just for your amusement here on this Friday.
Cheers.

I say paint the room! You can always change it later if you get sick of it!
thanks for the window into your life, and i am sure the brunch will go splendidly!! you are a fabulous hostess and cook!
That's wonderful that you're hosting the brunch! I have had to do the same and make my own support network here. It has been so worth it in the long run and I've met some wonderful, forever friends :)
I love little posts like this...I feel like I come away knowing you a little bit better. :) Give that little baby bump a rub for me!
Yeah! Paint the room!
When we moved to the UK they lost my records too. Have you checked at every clinic, just in case? I know that sounds dumb but it could have accidently been sent to one of the other clinics. When we got here we found mine in the storage area, every base has it.
