I've been chopping fruit and writing interview questions for Neaksis for VBS.
And maybe sneaking in a little quality family time, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Shall I do yardwork or go get a pedicure?
Shall I go get the pedicure at a real nail place or at the beauty school. Quality or savings?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> whats the interview for ? whats VBS us southlanders are puzzled?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I managed to to have dr sis examine AW and she has done a blood test and a few other checks which - well lest say AW was not happy about - however better safe than sorry and this whatever it is seems on the physical exam not to be the big P - I am relieved for her sake - its just too big a risk for her. In any event the blood test may help discover whats going on. Dr sis though not willing to be bound by it is of the opinion AW has a nice little dose of viral influenza from work. Also checked Michael but he seems healthy as a bull elephant. In any event AW has had to take a antibiotic course to prevent any infection and pending any results indicating otherwise should be right as rain in a day or so. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

She’s asleep. I had Aussie cook some chicken snaga’s on the BBQ for tea and made some potato salad and pasta salad for the crew which tonight is my gd, her girlfriend, JJ and his mate ‘Steel’ from his troop, Michael & of course Aussie & myself. I made chicken soup and steamed vege’s in oyster sauce for AW and she didn’t bring up one bit – yet! We may even be gifted with the presence of Grumpy tonight , however I won’t hold MY breath for it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I've been sleeping very lightly, and in the end had to get up and try to quietly move around the house, thats hard with sleeping bodies everywhere.
ok Believer as you have asked some time ago then before I try to get some more restless shuteye the not so good news. I would like to catch up with you too and ask how everything is going for you but I suppose this is not the post to do so
Aussie told me tonight after AW was asleep that he looks like going back to Afghanistan soon. No dates, no time however it appears the SAS has suffered some casualties in the last few days in heavy fighting-No deaths thank the good Lord - and that means replacements have to go over there. He & AW spoke of it recently though I know she had some hopes, well so did I, for them both.
One hope was that after just being sent to Timor it would mean some many months before being rotated again. Apparently Timor is not a war zone, its a Police action. I will just have to pray he is not one of those chosen for the 'honour'of going. One of the hardest things that AW & the family, myself included, have to accept is that he WANTS to go. I want to say more but my head is a bit fuzzy right now.
my head is ringing with that song I heard in April - Ya can't blame a bloke who likes adventure Ya saw the posters on the wall See the world through the sights of a rifle Grab ya mates and go to war
And give the man a bayonet Give the man a hat Give the man a uniform Give the man a gun He's your younger brother He's your only son
well I'm the only mum he''s known since he was 12 and he IS like my own son. I suppose I'm as scared as AW of loosing him too. Where is Grumpy when I need him?
the good news is Travelling Soldier arrives tomorrow. One less to worry about for now.
Why aren't we a family of Public Servants? It would so much less wearing on the old folks. I'm going to sleep walk back to bed so all have a good evening and a good day tomorrow. God Bless.

I'm sick today. Stayed in bed till 2PM and now it's 3PM and I'm headed back. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Some sort of virus, I guess. I'm just hoping that before I have to leave for work in 3hrs. someone will replace the pumpkin sitting on my neck with a real head! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

AW's mom - So sorry to hear that. I've been watching the big push in Afghanistan and thinking of Aussie.
Hey - why don't you get your own name?
T&L - Hope you start feeling better. I'll be here if you come down this summer. We'll go do something. Who all is coming? I can probably even manage to cook some vegetarian food, or we'll go out.

I'm thinking it'd be easier to go out and let somebody else do all the cooking. If we're lucky (hahahahahahahahahahaha--t&l wipes streaming tears of laughter off her cheeks...) we'll have Neak, her husband, Neaksis, me, and all 6 delinquents. If we're NOT lucky, Neak and her husband may be finking out to do something together, in which case Neaksis and I will be doing Troll Patrol of the 6 little darlings all by ourselves. Fortunately, I make my own majority in circumstances like this, but I've been pumping up my scowling muscles, just in case! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Or the zoo, Wild Animal Park, Legoland, or SeaWorld.

What I wanted to do was go to the Safari and Sea World. I hadn't made up my mind yet about Legoland. Is it worth it?
Beleive me, if you're a kid person we can fill your cup to the brim, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You won't believe this, but I haven't been to Legoland. And it is only about 10 minutes from my house. I understand that the little ones are THRILLED, the older ones have outgrown it. But I don't know what age that is.
The Wild Animal Park is fun - you can ride on the Tram. But it is very hot.

The beach is just 6 blocks from my place - that usually wears them out. And we have a swimming pool at the trailer park where I live. I used to take my grandbabies there whenever I babysat. After a couple hours in the pool and dinner, they were sleeping nicely.

Any cheap motels nearby? We're not high-end consumers, that's for sure. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

There are lots of motels - a Motel 6 in Carlsbad (site of WH and OW "breaking up"), Economy Inn, and others. Give me the date, and I'll check into trailers on the beach at the Marine Corps Base.
