How did this help anyone?
The moral at Malmstrom in the missile section is already at an all-time low... this will just make it worse.
I hardly see my husband as it is.
*sigh*

Why do they ruin everything?
How many people will be swayed by the media hype?

*OMG* What was I thinking!??!
- website (begining to end)
- logo (maybe before website but either way in the top 3)
- catching up paperwork (otherwise the rest is pointless)
How the hell do I get that done by 1 January?!!!
I'm going to find a paper bag to breathe into for a bit.

P.S. I ended up not being needed today for the Clinic which was good I got to do research from the comfort of my sweats! LOL
I have a plan

Baffled
I have many issues with this request.
- she lied to me about her health in hopes I would take her children so she could do whatever she wanted
- she sent her children to Georgia to live with another friend when no one here would help
- she shows open disdain for her oldest boy
- she has a very different parenting style which I am not sure is best for these two boys.
I'll be wrestling with my conscience for a bit before I decide to fill it out or send it back.

Such a waste
I lost track of him and my sister mentioned him the other day. Turns out at barely 18 years old he attempted to rob an older man and ended up killing him. He is currently serving 150 years for it.
My sister didn't see the sadness of it... not only did this sweet old man die for no reason whatsoever but a kid never got the chance to live his life. She only has anger towards him.
What a wasted life. He simple chose the wrong path.
The hypocrite that I am lit a candle for him.

A conundrum
Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
Nikon D60
Pros:
- 10.2 megapixels
- faster shutter speed
- many lens options
- Digital SLR instead of point-n-shoot format
- similar to my son's so I have a bit of experience
- $695
- zoom limited by lens size
- lens cost $$$$
- size is too big to carry in my purse

Thank you Airman M!
The hubby worked Friday until late and then all day Saturday and was scheduled to work Sunday but it was only a half day. I got my nails done on Friday and learned that my nail tech was giving away a couch, love seat, crib, changing table, dresser and bookshelf. Step needed all those items so I gladly offered to take them off his hands.
Saturday evening the hubby was still working so one of his boys volunteered his truck and showed up at the storage unit to help move the stuff. Step got lost and all our other help fell through so Ki, Airman M and I moved it all....actually Airman M did 99% of it without help. He refused my offers of food, drink & money.
I really appreciate what he did so I'm planning to give him a Christmas card with a gift certificate in it.
Why won't Step date someone like him? Damn.

Things to do in Montana when you are stressed...
Last time the Hubby & I made a quick trip to Lewistown so I could waymark a few things including a Medal of Honor recipient's grave. Now, I'm planning a similar trip to BUTTE, USA!
I have a list of waymarks, a few geocaches and just places I think Son#2 may enjoy.
Here are the highlights:
- waymark the MoH graves in Butte & Anaconda
- waymark the pit- but I am not sure they have a "Superfund" category...
- photograph the Silver Bow county courthouse
- visit & way mark as much of Uptown & historic Butte as I can stand
- waymark United States High Altitude Sports Center
- hunt for at least 12 caches
What a sad statement
The truly sad part is I get calls everyday at work from people wanting to give up their parental rights .... mainly to avoid paying child support.
YOU MADE THE KID NOW DEAL WITH IT!
*end rant*

So we bought the Hubby & Son#2 new cameras. I'm thinking it may be time for an upgrade to mine.
I like both but not as much as mine.
Hubby- Panasonic DMC - TZ4
Son#2 - Canon A720
both are small point-n-shoots.
I'm thinking Nikon D90! I only need 4 lenses for it:
1. macro
2. 18-55mm
3. zoom (up to 300mm)
4. fisheye

Grandcub update
Grandcub Ultrasound
Originally uploaded by ZhenPanda
It was exciting to accompany Step to her ultrasound appointment on Monday. I'm still a little torn about the situation but I can almost see my daughter growing up! She is really trying to recover from the shock of BFD walking out. She truly believed every word he had said.
She has made an effort over the past few weeks to talk to my Hubby, really starting to bond with him. I can see her honestly contemplating how she will be a mom and take care of herself.
Today she tried a position in a daycare and quickly discovered that she has no clue how to deal with children. It really made her think about what it is going to take to be a mom.
At 20 weeks she is quickly facing the parts of pregnancy that her friends never shared with her. I think she has many more learning experiences ahead of her- they are coming fast too!
