Clearly blogging as often as I'd like is an unrealistic expectation. I'm not sure WHAT consumes my time, but my time stays consumed nonetheless. I feel like I start every blog scorning myself for not blogging sooner, I gotta stop that!
Mothers Day came and went! I got to spend some time with my mom (and Dad), Grandma, sister and her three beautiful children. My Uncle, aunt, and 3 of their 4 boys stopped by too. It was like Christmas but it was fun! My nephew Markus was STEALING the show that day. So there are lots of photos of him! He was saying he's been "working out" and wanted to show off his new muscles by arm wrestling or just flexing...too cute! ((Excuse my spacing, blogspot is lovely but their picture placement is AWFUL! Any tips?))
This past week was kinda crazy. My husband came home from drill (his 1 weekend a month for the Army National Guard) and said that they offered him a deployment if he decided to resign in July. (He's supposed to be getting out June 29th) He was really torn, and so was I! It would have been great money and we would have been nearly debt free when he came home (including our awful car payment). We started flopping around ideas of what we would do with our rental, discussed combining households with his dad and sister (because he is always out of town) so I wouldn't be living alone. LOTS of ideas were being tossed around to the point where I was having headaches alllll the time. Finally, we sat down and I told him we couldn't keep going in limbo. He decided to not go on this deployment (in September) because the timing is just awful with some family stuff going on. He could still resign at any point if he decides to so the idea that it is still an option I think is enough for him right now. It was tough though, it's hard to be torn between his civil obligation as a Soldier and his obligation to his life here at home. National Guardsman really don't get enough credit. People think they are just out living their lives and collecting military money and benefits and although there are a few (I know 1 of all the Soldiers I know) that do that and do take advantage of it with NO intention on deploying, most of those men are willing to give up everything at any point and not for a 6 month deployment but for 12+ months. They live two lives and are constantly torn between the two. They really do need more recognition than they get. I'm so proud to have gone through this experience with PJ and I'm so honored to be his wife and know that we did handle a deployment. If he decides to go back in, I will support him no matter what, but he should be proud of the work he has already done.
My baby, Roscoe, will be taking a trip to the NEUROLOGIST on Monday. Just the idea of going to a specialist has me totally freaked! He's been on medication for seizures for about 3.5 years now and we aren't seeing any progress. He is on a HUGE dose for his size and still having 8-10 seizures a day. They are really bizaar though and the docs I work with at the vet are sort of baffled by them. We can get his attention and he will stop but when we stop messing with him he goes back to doing it. I've heard anything from seizures to autisim to OCD. Truthfully, I have NO idea what is going on. He never does it when he's actualy at the vet so my docs are flying blind. It's tough and it's tough of him. They are getting more frequent (whatever "they" are) so it's time to go to the specialist. Prayers for my little guy would be super appreciated.
Fabulous finds? Yes, Please! ALL of these brought a smile to my face, some even made me litterally LOL. Hope they make you smile too! :) Happy Wednesday, everyone!!
