So it has been 5 forevers since I have blogged.......between Blake coming home, our trip to Arkansas, and getting readjusted to Army life things have been a little crazy. So I am sick with a horrible cold and hope I am not getting strep throat. A little warning about this blog-I am under the influence of cold meds........here goes....
I was watching CNN and saw how everyone is cheering for Obama about the AWESOME job he is doing and he hasn't been in office 100 days yet and this and that. Well I was half listening when I heard how he is bringing 20 thousand troops home by Sept of this year. I know what most civilians are thinking...You rock Obama.....but think about this. Out of those 20 thousand how many were suppose to come home anyways because their tour was ending. I know of three batteries here at Ft Sill that are due home by then, and that is just off the top of my head. So my thing is he isn't bringing anyone home, their tour is ending as scheduled...don't be blinded by this. BUT at least I got a good chuckle about this...now on to the next.
I was reading out FRG(family readiness group) newsletter when they announced the Saint Barbara ball on March 26th. To make long story short its a ball that its an honor to be invited to because it usually means you are getting some kind of award. Saint Barbara is the patron saint of artillerymen. Here is the problem I have.....The feast of Saint Barbara, or celebration if you will, is actually on Dec 4th...sssssooooo why are they having the ball in March?? AND in case noone noticed it is Lent...Are you really suppose to be feasting during Lent?? hhhmmmm At least it isn't on a Friday and they don't serve fish.......
Just a couple things I have noticed over the past couple of days. I know I know I am so weird, but am I really the only one to noticed these things? Probably so...haha The boys are doing great. Kale is still walking up a storm and is even getting better walking up and down an incline and switching surfaces...which is a HUGE step. Elijah is walking more and saying no every now and then.....he also has a temper on him. I wonder where he gets that?? Blake and I are doing OK for the most part. I hope its just the adjustment period, but we shall see. The Army gives these classes to the wives of returning men and basically teach you to bite your tongue and deal with them being an ass-hell they get a free pass. I want to know where my free pass is?? I get bitchy around Aunt Flo's visit and I never live it down, but you are looked down upon if you ruffle the feathers of a returning soldier....uuugggghhhh Sometimes military life bites BIG TIME. Well I will step down off of my soap box and let yall get back to your life. One last bit of business I have a new email address is lbrietz@ymail.com SO, hit it up peeps.....outie
The Family
This is us about 6 hours after Elijah arrived. I'm happy because the phenergan had worn off and no I'm not on pain meds here.

That thought about the troops occured to me too.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the soliders coming home. They were just trying to make Mr. President sound good. I am glad you finally blogged its only been forever since you gave us an update. Give Kale a high five for me and the next time Elijah is throwing a fit just blame Blake because that must be where he gets his temper from, right?
Thats right Steph!!! Everyone who knows me knows I am mild tempered....
I can't imagine the adjustment issue. Just know you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Oh, and way to go boys on the progress!!!
