Let's play catch up

So, the kid's started school august 1st. We're pretty much in a routine with that now. Jordan get's up about quarter after 6 and gets ready. H'e been walking to school so Ally can sleep a little longer. She gets up about 7:20 and get's ready. Jordan walks home, and i get Ally about 3:15.

Football practice has started, and that's making bedtime routine a little harder. It doesn't end til 8 or after, and Ally's bedtime is 7. so, i get to deal with whinyness and attitude because she doesn't get enough sleep. Nothing i can do about it since im the only one here to be with the kid's. Ally is supposed to be in soccer, but yet again Ft Knox cant get it together. She STILL doesn't have a team or a coach, even though I was told teams would be dissolved 2 days ago.

I had my mri last week for my headaches. Results should be back, but i dont have an appt until the 25th. Been getting headaches again, after not having them for a few weeks. so, it would be nice to get some answers. Sleeping way too much, too. I've fallen back into not being able to go bed, then not being able to get up. My nights and days seem to be backwards.

I've decided to try and not worry about how other people feel about me. Either they like me and want to get to know me, or they dont. Im tired of the fake people, who pretend to be a friend, then talk about me behind my back.. I got out of school a LONG time ago. It's hard, though. I've always tried to be nice to people, so i dont like knowing some think bad of me. Oh well...

Happy?? Birthday

Happy 33rd birthday to me. The day started WAY too early for me. We were having a yard sale today, and i was hoping to get rid of a lot of stuff. Too bad the 5 minute down pour had other plans. That was fun... Me and Jordan rushed to get everything inside, but it all got soaked. Of course, right after everything came in, the rain stopped!

Ally got up and came down to tell me happy birthday. She's been talking about it all week for some reason. She even sang to me a little later. :) Jamie came over to do her laundry, and we went to snappy's for lunch. I was ready for bed then lol.

Jackson's grama called to wish me a happy birthday, and she sang to me too lol. I thought that was nice, and she apologized for forgetting to send me a card. After Jamie left, we went to Heather's. She baked me a cake and her and Tye got me pretty roses. Thank God for friends like this.

At Heather's, Ally got a little upset over me not having a party and presents. :/ I guess she thought we'd go bowling like she did for hers. Silly kid. All in all, it's been a pretty good day. Love Jordan for helping set up the yardsale, and Ally for being so excited for my birthday. Now, if only i would hear from my husband.

Pity Party

Yeah, i'm having a pity party, so what? Once, i would love for something good to come our way. Just once! Jackson's been studying for the board for at least 4 months now. He's been screwed over a few times due to someones mistake on paperwork and what not. He flew to Salerno last week (finally) to go in front of the promotion board. The day comes that he is supposed to go, and he doesn't even get to go! This time it's because some scores on his form weren't good until the day of the interview. Of course, even though noone told him the whole freaking week he was there, it's his fault. In the 5 years we've been married, he's been jerked around in one way or another by the army. He is a hell of a soldier. His sgt's have told him this many times. He goes above and beyond all the time with no backtalk or other disrespect to his nco's. they call on him to do "extra" work because it looks good on him to do it, but where the hell has it gotten him? Extra work and no recognition for it.

I'm so tired of this being in his grasp for something stupid to come and fuck it up. when will he get a break? All these other guys can get promoted like it's nothing, but he works his ass off and gets screwed every single time!

I'm proud of the soldier he is and the work he does, and he more than deserves this. So, when is it his turn?

I love you Jackson. <3
