Peyton and I are sitting on the back porch...he's drawing with his new art set and paper. I love yet again to see his imagination at work. I'm sitting here just farting around on the computer and thought...let's blog!
I just found out my poor hubby has shingles...really? This poor man...it's just one thing after another. For those of you who don't know...shingles are another form of chicken pox...the virus lies dormant in us if we've had them before and stress and a few other things can bring it on. I guess being in Afghanistan would bring on a bit of stress. :-( It's painful and itchy. I can't even imagine wearing all the gear they have to and then add sweat to this stuff and OMG! It's easily taken care of with antibiotics and some pain meds but really, it's honestly the last thing he should have to deal with. My heart goes out to you darlin.
I didn't study today...needed to mentally decompress. I'll hit it hard tomorrow. Spent time with Peyton and Xander and I got to take my Aunt-in-law to the beauty parlor. She feels like a new woman. Don't we all with a good hair cut? I need one and think I'll get one when I get back to Colorado. Speaking of hair...I went red for a bit and within a month changed back to blonde. I get so bored with the same color but when I change from the blonde I just don't "feel right".
Speaking of not feeling right...deployment sucks. My whole world is out of whack! I'm finally getting used to the hubby being gone (don't get me wrong, it's hard but I'm dealing), but then again I keep thinking this is just temporary and he'll come home soon. Yes, a year is temporary compared to a lifetime, but in a year so many things can change. Tis the life huh?! Just a typical military wife going through the day to day emotions.
Anyways, that's all I've got for now. Hope your lives are as blessed as mine.

Gloversville, NY
I'm sitting here on the humid back porch in Gloversville, New York. For those of you who haven't been here before, it's a quaint little town with not too much to do. This is a good thing for someone like me who is looking for some peace and quiet and a lot of study time. I'm studying for my RN boards (third times a charm)! Some days I feel really smart and others I'm wondering what the heck I'm doing trying to get into this field.
Gloversville is home to David's great aunt, Dr. Joan Christie and her companion and confidant, Christine Kennedy, RN. I couldn't be in a better place to study the medical profession with a doctor and nurse in the household. Their level of knowledge amazes me and I only hope to be as smart as them one day.
Peyton and Xander are in this lovely, quaint victorian home with me. Peyton finally has a yard and an amazing garden to play in. This interprets into fighting ferocious enemies, getting lost and finding his way out of the jungle or hunting in the wilderness with the Indian nations. I love watching his imagination at work. There's a swimming pool here as well, unfortunately it's all ready to get some action but the weather is not coorperating. I guess fighing the deadly seas will have to wait for another day...there's shark's in there you know! Correction...we had a few moments of splendor before the weather didn't cooperate...he fought the great fight!
Xander on the other hand is experiencing a different type of adventure. He has found his feet! He is becoming so much more in tune with his surroundings. It's a whole new world out there and I find myself getting excited for him as he figures out new and different things. I seriously think this kid is teething, he's just about got his whole fist in his mouth and drool is everywhere. He doesn't like the taste of Orajel, but he sure does like the affects!
