All over the place

I have started a few postings the last few days- but cannot get a grip on one specific topic- or enough conversation to really justify a posting... so here is a hodge podge (again- I know)...



-Had a fantastic trip this last weekend to Poland with friends... hubbs kept the kiddos... got lots of good deals... excellent food... and much needed girlfriend time. Bring on the Tyskie beer- which was amazing! And I had some good drinking partners- and finally a girlfriend to enjoy some beer with!



-We start our adventure to the states in a week and 3 days. Getting super nervous about the whole Space-A thing!!! Had my hubbs pull out the suitcases- so that I can start throwing little things in there that I do not want to forget... started looking at flights in and out of Ramstein to see what is happening this week... getting super excited that I will see family in less than two weeks and celebrate lil mans first birthday!! yeah

-Wrapping up this year in PTA and Spouses Club which is SUPER thrilling for me.. ready for a break. Ready to just be a part of the attendees- instead of worry about the details of the event--

-Will be holding off on fertility stuff til we return in May. This last go around- my body reacted a little TOO well to the shots- which left me with 9 huge follicles... and this momma ain't no Octuplet momma!! So- we will restart when we return and hope the dates do not move anymore for the deployment next spring- cause I would love my man to be here for the birth of this kiddo!

-I know it seems silly but all you women out there understand this next one- I get my hair done in 2 days:) I love having it done- not only cause it makes me feel SO good to have fresh color and cut- but I get fun friend time with Bethany while she does it!!!

-Did you all see that a 400 lb man ran a marathon?? Took him twice as long as normal runner does but still... wow! My sis in law rocked out a half this weekend in 1 hr 44 minutes... amazing!

-A new policy went into effect today- the soldiers here in Germany cannot wear their uniforms to and from work anymore. They have to drive into work in civilians and change into uniform when they get there. It has always been a "rule" to not be out on the economy in uniform- but it is not enforced at all. Well- now it is... that is SCARY!.... what is scarier- the warning they put out regarding our kiddos... they want us to be cautious regarding what they are wearing when they are out and about- namely at the bus stop. For real???? Like it is not obvious when there are roughly 20 American children at the bus stop- that they are American?? They wear different clothes than German kids. They carry different backpacks. They just look WAY different... Now I am wondering if I should be driving my kiddo to school everyday... I love living overseas but these are the moments that make me miss home...

Thanks for listening- I know I am scatter brained LIKE crazy... Would love to say it will improve- but cannot guarentee it... sorry:(

That's scary..I guess I'm behind, but why do they want you to kind of 'blend it' more?!

You have some little cuties! :)

They said it has to do with the whole Libya thing- that we can be viewed as targets over here... but really- I drive a minivan- I think they will know I am American! lol
