Hello all. Well it's sunday night and though I'm bored I'm happy. The kids go back to school tomorrow and we are one day closer to Joe coming home. Yeah, I know ya'll wish he was home already so I would shut up about it, but you can't bring me down! Hahahaha.

Ok, since Joe has told me that he fears he may have the use of his testicles back I've been doing some research and what I found makes me a bit angry at the doctering world. Ok when you get a vasectomy the doc likes to tell you that there is a less then 1% chance of regrowth, now yes if you don't clear out your tubing afterwards you can get preggo. But I everytime I search for pregnancies after a vasectomy the results astound me. This one study group took 4 different docs and between them all they performed 538 sucessful vasectomys. Out of those 538, 155 patient's wives got pregnant. 51% of those pregnancies resulted from not clearing the vas deferens of sperm. 49% were from recanilization (regrowth of the vas deferens) three years after sucessfully being sterile. WTF! Uh......I know I suck at math, but that seems like more then the less then 1% that the docs like to spout. Another website stated that 1 in 4000 vasectomys grow back. SCARY!! Good thing for us we changed our minds and want a third. But can you imagine the poor shmuk that doesn't want anymore? Yikes. I just wish docters would give you all the facts and not lie. But these are docters were talking about. Now there not all corrupt....thank god, but it all comes down to how do you know your doc isn't. Even research may never fully clue you in on it till it's too late.

Woohoo, I ranted. Look at that! LOL I'm starting to sound like Joe ahhhh!

Love ya'll!

Yay. 9 days till Joe flies and prolly 11 (my best guess) till he is home in my arms. It's sad to think that he would have already been home by now, so I won't think about that.

So this is the last month of 2005. It's been a strange year and ALOT has happened. Joe left for afgan, birthdays. kids starting school and the ever present tci down to getting out of the army and moving back to the states. This year has deffentely been one of trials and reflection. I've got the feeling that 2006 will be a year of new beggings. A new chapter in all of our lives. Finding a new job, new place to live, a new way of living period.

Well today is Saturday and boring as hell. But boring is good. Neither of the kids have gotten on my nerves or done anything mischecous or deviant. Haven't gone anywhere and don't plan on it....it's freezing outside. Just having a nice uneventful weekend so far. Hope it stays this way.

well see ya!

I'm a horrible web host.....or hostess....well whatever, I suck. Sorry. I know it's been a while since my last post. Well ok a long damn time, but I'm here now Well there are some new developments. Joe would have been home prolly thursday or friday of this week, but the army has decided to change thier minds ( reminds me of a women lol) So I get my hubby back around the 15....hopefully the 14. He flies out on the 13. But we will still have Christmas together so it still majorly rocks!!!!

Some personal info that is actually quite baffling to us and somewhat unerving yet hopeful is that Joe (who had a vasectomy about 3 years ago) seriously think some stuff is starting to grow back. This however is good news. We were planning on having it reversed in a few years and trying for a third member of our little Compton clan. So if he really does end up being fertile again wothout sergury will be wonderful for Joe's well-being and well....our pocketbook lol. The only scary thing is that we don't want to get preggos while trying to move and transition out of the military. He plans on getting everything checked out when he gets back here. Cross your fingers folks this could be big.....well for us anyways lol.

Onto a not so personal subject, it has been snowing here like crazy! Pretty, but wet, cold and a bitch to drive in. Oh well could be worse, so far it hasn't frozen so that's always a good thing.

My sprites are high, though I seem to be constantly tired. I always get horrible sleep when Joe's soon to return. I'm just so dang excited!!! Of course April 6 2006 is really going to be the blessed day that I will totally get my husband all to myself and leave all this military life behind. As much as I've bitched and complained about the military, it's been good for us. Though we are deffinetely ready for greener pastures lol.

Well I'm all out of gold nuggets so I hope ya'll had a good Thanksgiving!

I miss everyone so much, but we're down to less then 6 months till we go Stateside so YIPEE!!!

Bye ya'll! 

Oh was that gay or what!? Well it's been rather ugly outside tha past couple days and it seems to have had quite an effect on my moods. Sorry I haven't written in over a month, but I have some really good news! Joe will be home the first week of December!!!! For good!!!! That means he'll be here for Christmas!!!

Sadly to say, nothing else is going on. We didn't do anything for Halloween. Won't be doing anything (that I know of) for Thanksgiving, but the best thing is, I know that by the time Thanksgiving is over we only have a week or so left and then Joe comes home.

We've all been sick, taking turns for the most part and it seems I haven't been able to shake whatever it is I got, cuz I been feeling like crap for a week and a half now. But I see the light and it's a month off. I have to hold on for just a bit more and then I'll be able to relax a bit.

Well I'm gonna get gone. Hope this finds all well

Sorry enyone who checks this. I haven't been in quite the right mood to write lately. Sorry to say I'm still not in much of a mood, but things are getting easier. Zach started school almost three weeks ago. He seemed to do fina the first week, but it's been down hill since, it brings to a very unhappy place to think about it, so I won't. Caleigh Started her pre-k last week. She loves it! She never wants to come home. It's nice I have from 1:00 to 2:30 all to myself. though the past two days I've used it to catch some zzz's, I've come down with a cold and it's throwing me through a loop.

Not much is really going on, Joe is doing fine, they've finally reduced him down to 8 hour shifts now instead of the straight 12 with no time off hardly. He also has gotten internet in his room now and we can chat before he heads off to work.

My life for the most part is day to day, just passing time waiting. It does seem however that September has absolutely flown by, which I hope the following months will also do. Though October looks very uneventful as I don't want to the whole Holloween thing this year. It will be just too much for me alone. I'm also a bit nervous about November and what to do about Thanksgiving. I know it's a ways away but..... well me and Joe are really the only one's who eat most of what is cooked. I know I don't want to cook for just me and Caleigh (Zach hasn't eaten thanksgiving dinner ever  . I dunno, maybe I'll just get a small meal for me....oh I dunno. At least I have plenty of time to figure it out lol.

Well I'm off, Caleigh is almost done with dinner and I need to give both the kiddos a bath before bedtime.

Huggles all! 

Well I think I know it's offcial now. I'm addicted to my husband. I could hardly get off the computer last night b/c we were IMing each other. Pityful but true.

This morning has well.... I have better mornings but I've also had worse. Caleigh is in a bit of a foul mood. And this is the second morning where I haven't exactly been feeling that great. I thought I was maybe dehydrated, but after more full cups of water then I like to think back on, I still feel ill. Oh well....I so hope I didn't catch a stomach bug and right before Zach starts school too.

My hormones are still outta whack lol. But at least now my boobies are getting big without as much sensitivity. Maybe someone above has smiled upon me and granted me slightly bigger boobies! I could only dream LOL!

Oh and good news on the Joe coming home front. If all goes well and planned. Joe's folks he works for over there say they want to send him home by or around January 3rd. How much does that rock?! I mean it's only a month earlier then expected.....but come on that's so better then nothing. WOOHOO!!!!!

Ok, so I've would have written sooner except I had to get my computer to accept cookies from bravenet and me not being the most computer smart, it took me a couple days to figure it out. But none-the-less here I am

Well Joe left Early morning on Sunday. Yesterday was the first day since he left that I felt like venturing out of the house. This week is just dragging. But Some good stuff has happened. Joe called me last night and told me he made it into Bagram alright. though it had taken him quite a while. Zach's kindergarden teacher came for a house visit yesterday and I like her and Zach does to, so it seems. There is a open house on friday. I plan to go and ask some questions. And hopefully sometime next week I will know if Caleigh will have an afternoon pre-k class to attend. That would be great.......as it stands now, she's still on a waiting list.

Well that's all for now...... Oh yeah if there are any women out there who know anything about hormones being so outta whack that thier boobies swell up and hurt like heck for no apparent reason let me know what you know. My breasts are killing me.   P.S - Pregnancy isn't really an option b/c my hubby has had a vasectomy. I'm 23 are hormones supposed to get outta whack like this this young? 

Well see ya's

5 Days till Zach's first day of school.

43 Days till our 5th Annaversary

Roughly 5 - 5 and a half months left of the deployment.

Roughly 8 months left in the Army!

It is now the 23rd and Joe arrived on August 12 at 2 in the morning. It was wonderful........we were all tired though. I decided to suprise him at the gate. So me and the kids rode with the folks that went to go pick him up. I've never see the kids stay awake that long lol. It was great though. He looked at us as though he thought he were dreaming. We've all had such a great time. We've mostly been bumming around the house. The kids are and heaven having Daddy around all day everyday. As strange as this will sound it feels like he's never left. I thought him being home for two weeks would be somewhat odd, with him being gone for so long, but he has suprised me! He has done an awesome job at fiting right back in. He 's been helping out with the kids alot and around the house. He's been giving me a rest where I need it the most and I didn't expect it, which is just wonderful!

It's just so good to have our family together again.......even if it is for just two weeks. The best two weeks of the whole year!

I can't wait till tomorrow! It's almost 6 in the evening here and the day is almost over. The kids go to bed in an hour.....though dinner is still not ready. But the day has gone well! I cleaned up a bit. Took a walk. Bought me a nice big ol puzzle to keep me busy over the next couple days. I can hardly contain my giddyness. I'm so excited to have Joe home! I think I'm going to explode! He should call me tonight and last night was his last night at work. - sigh - I want to tell the kids so bad that Daddy is coming home........oh and dang it I want a cigerette!!!!!!!

Ok emotions are going haywire.......guess I'll write later when I'm actually making sense. lol

huggles!!!!!

Well it's Saturday. This weekend will be my our last weekend apart.....well for two weeks anyway. But anything is better then nothing. I'm trying hard to contain my excitement. I want to suprise the kids and I thought it would be easy not to tell them, but it's actually quite hard. I want to tell them so bad that Daddy is  coming home soon, but seeing as how they both have very little concept of time and we don't know exactly when he's going to get in, it would be more like torture to them waiting.  - sigh - but it's all slowly coming together! Not much else to say except YAY!

Love ya'll
