ATT tech

So this morning while speaking to att tech about my extremely slow internet which has been the cause of my slow download speeds and my inability to watch Downton Abbey correctly. An 1.5 show took me almost 9 hours the other day to finish! I have never had to pause a movie for the internet to catch up that much in my life! So the tech guy was explaining to me in a 5 YEAR OLD terminology or as if he was speaking to a 5 year old about the simply fact that I live to far away from the central office for ATT to do anything about the speed of my internet and that it was just how it was! HOW IT WAS?? Seriously! So after being spoken to like I was a 5 year old I was starting to loose patience with the guy who clearly not an American or even based here, I HAVE SEVERAL college degrees under my belt. Even though I am a stay at home mom currently does not lead to my inability to have a brain as an individual! I understand the whole living far away from the central office or how not everyone in my neighborhood might have att internet as to why att was not wasting their time on making my service better. Which was exactly what he told me over the phone. I HAVE never been so insulted in my life! Well since att doesn't want to waste money and time to make my service better I'll just take my business somewhere else. So fellow bloggers any advice on internet service?

Eviction notices and besties

so its been a crazy week already and its tuesday..our landlord informed us she was evicting us because she wants to sell her house...REALLY? thats illegal to do that to a spouse of a deployed soldier..i mean she could have informed us months ago!! But a blessing has come out of this disaster a dear friend of mine has offered her home to live in until it sells which they havent had any bites in the 4 or 5 months its been on the market..I will gladly live there because its amazing! the boys will have soo much room to run around and we will be paying the same amount we are here for twice almost 3 times more than what we have here!!! So prayers were answered literally 2 hours later! AMEN for that! I am just disheartened that our current landlord is acting like this! Plus she said she is going to go to justice court and go the proper channels for an eviction notice! SERIOUSLY...we have done nothing wrong and I just dont want to deal with the courts right now! I am soo tired of all this stuff...oh well we have a new house to move into and we have been blessed by amazing friends who are willing to help! I love my friends..hope everyones day has gone well and after today I believe my stomach wont be in such knots after all this. Ciao!

The military spouse!

The good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?" The Lord replied, "Have you seen the spec on this order?" She has to be completely independent, posses the qualities of both father and mother, be a perfect hostess to four or forty with an hour's notice, run on black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully, even if she is pregnant and has the flu. She must be willing to move to a new location ten times in seventeen years. And oh, yes, she must have six pairs of hands." The angel shook her head, "Six pairs of hands? no way." The Lord continued, "Don't worry, we will make other military wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husband's achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say "I understand" when she doesn't, and say "I love you" regardless. "Lord," said the angel, touching his arm gently, "Go to bed and get some rest. You can finish tomorrow." "I can't stop now," the Lord said, "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from a pier, a runway, or a depot, and understand why it's important that he leave." The angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed. "It looks fine, but it's so soft." "She might look soft," replied the Lord, "but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure." Finally, the angel bent over and ran her fingers across the cheek of the Lord's creation. "There's a leak," She announced. "Something is wrong with the construction. I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put too much into this model." The Lord appeared offended at the angel's lack of confidence. "What you see is not a leak," he said. "It's a tear." "A tear? What is it there for?" asked the angel. The Lord replied, "It's for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride, and dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear." "You are a genius!" exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked puzzled and replied. "I didn't put it there."
Sooo we are at week 8 of deployment that leaves roughly 44 more weeks left till he comes home. Sad thing about this unit is we have been told there is no r and r..please someone just give me some painkillers..I cant take that! So I hope everyone's Christmas plans are going along. Ours will be quiet and uneventful which will be nice. Do forgive me for not posting sooner. Life has been hectic which all of you can understand from your deployments you have endured how life has to go back into routine!

Training, pedi's and tears!!

So as mark is on his way to training for his upcoming deployment.. I sit here with that alone hallow feeling in the nail salon getting a pedicure. I always knew this day would come. I knew what I signed up for when I said, "I do" and then 3 days later he left for Iraq. Having him home for this last year was amazingly therapeutic for my little family. As I sit here I watch other families walking around, am I jealous? Yes, because those children will have their father home for birthdays, loose teeth and teeth fairies, backyard barbecues, bedtime stories, kisses and hugs, and that guidance only a father can truly give to his growing children. But I would never trade a minute of our lives with another wife who has all those moments because I have my love and we have one of those once in a lifetime kind of loves that people rarely have. I'm blessed to have a husband who is 100% hardcore patriotic who loves his country and who is willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to do just that. Protect his family, friends, and neighbors from experiencing what he has seen in his lifetime on foreign soil. Some people don't understand our lives and ya know there is so much explaining one can do, but until they experience those empty beds, empty seats at the dinner table, and one less smiling face in pictures that are displayed on the walls too that moment when your heart about explodes from absolute PRIDE the moment you see your husband step off the plane coming home to your arms then they may never truly understand our lives as military spouses. To be quite honest it's ok, because we will keep on standing here behind our better halves so that they may live freely. Our lives are not for the faint of heart, but two thing that are a 100% requirement.. Tears; because those little wet memories that slip down your cheeks allow us to push forward and keep going.. Memories; because it's those memories that help us on those quietly lonely nights. Memories of that amazing smile that you fell in love with before he even knew you cared about him or That laugh that makes you giggle because he is happy for that fleeting moment. How when your cooking he walks up and kisses your cheek.. Those memories are what we hold onto so desperately as we wait that year till he can take off his combat boots and be home for those moments you felt so jealous a year prior.. To all the spouses out there keep pushing forward.. The tears do dry and the kisses aren't just memories.. Hooah!!
