wonderful woo hoo WLS express

Good morning everyone

hope it is a wonderful Wednesday for you. We have a sonic car and a starbux car running this morning so grab your cuppa and hop on and visist for a bit

Looks like it's going to be a great day - things have settled down around here and in Iraq (for MY husband at least) so Tim is able to call more often on a regular schedule - something that makes for a much happier Danni
The scale is not being KIND per say but I'm not being so great with what I eat either so I am  happy to be in my acceptable "range"
Drove to Savanna yesterday - one of the funeral homes is shipping Christmas boxes to deployed soldiers thoough this Friday , bring your box ready to ship including customs forms and they will pay postage - that is awsome of them!!!  so hopped in the van with my gf and her toddler and off we went  - was a nice way to not spend the day running in circles LOL we didn't even get lost - ok so I was NOT the one navagating since Stanley couldn't find it - he doesn't do well with addresses on highways

Talked to Tim and he got the first box from TerryAnn and was jazzed, shared it out and they all send a big thank you to our miss T, it makes them all feel good to be thought about I think

Mommy and me tumbling this morning and then Rach is off to her school so I can get mine done, pick her up and drop her off at my gf house to play for the afternoon while I go do giftwrapping at the px as a fundrasier for our FRG - should be fun

know what was cool -almost 4 years out and I still am surprised everytime - I wanted a Christmas shirt and I grabbed one of those $5 ones at wally world and the large fit - a jr large fit?!?!!? still trips me out - I hope I never lose enjoying seeing the change in me - I went from being too big for their plus size stuff to wearing a med or large depending on if it is womans, misses or jr - it's still awsome

I hope everyone has a wonderful day - give someone a hug today just b/c you can

remember to work your tool - you had surgery to be healthy - NOW BE HEALTHY- do the things you know you are suppose to - water, vits, protien. and MOVEMENT healthy people do not sit on their rumps all day - they get up and move - be it around the office, playground or house just move today - walk or dance just becuase you CAN

Peace
Danni
still praying for a peaceful boring year with good internet

I can't believe that box made it to Tim already.  I have one of the long kinda flat boxes partially ready to mail; this one has books and snacks in it.  Let me know whether to mail it or wait.

And tell Tim & company they are very welcome.....and I thank them for what they are doing!!

none of mine have made it yet - I mailed the first one the same day u did - they go out of new york to the APO addys - guess tx just has better mail service :)

I wonder if it makes a difference that I mailed it from the main post office in Galveston?  When I do that my stuff goes out really quick so I'm thinking it goes straight from there to a regional station and the out to the next stop.  I have a smaller box with books, stuff I could not fit into the first box and I'll grab a couple of bags of fritos scoops to fill it up :-) 

Let me know if the timing works with mailing one when I get back on the 19th from my trip :-)

Good Morning Danni and the rest of my TMB Family

Woke up to a terriable headache this morning.  I am really starting to think it has something to do with the weather.  I get a lot of them these days and I never did when we were in Texas.  It is a cold wet rainy morning here in Dover.  So glad I dont have to venture out today for anything.  Well I will probably take Eric to school if he will let me.  If I know him though he will want to walk with the unbrella.  Either way it's ok.   Danni, you truly amaze me with all you do.  I know I have said this before but just not sure how you do it all.  I do have a question for you.  Are you using the GI Bill for financial aide that is now available for spouces?  If so can you PM me how you went about getting it.  I talked to my Marine (well X Marine) last night and he will be here on the 18th and then Nadia and Jon will come on the 19th and we will have our Christmas with them.  I cant wait.  I have had so much fun shopping for all of them.  Normally it would be a Gift Certificate but because we are going to be together I hae been getting actual gifts.  So much fun.  The weight is pretty stable these days and I am happy.  Went out and walked yesterday and it felt so good.  I have an appointment next week to go and meet my primary care doctor and get referrals for all the other doctors I am going to need.  That one of the big things that suck about moving.  Having to start all over again.  O****rtainly have gone on longer then I intended.  Prayers this morning, for Jenny and Eric, Viv as she recovers from her surgery, Annette and Liz as they look for work, my friend who is divorcing..Court day got cancelled so now have to wait even longer (a big mess) and for all those that are unspoken.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.

I am using pell grants and MYCAA - look under military one sourse for spouse education - it is 6grand pays for tuition and testing/certifications only but hey that is money I don't have to come up with - it is open to any active duty spouse.  the other thing I would do is go to the education building or ACS - not around lunch time however- and ask what if any programs your new state has. Ga has some neat ones but not for what I am going for here - they give spouses resident status  - they were before the new laws went into effect too. and other things

anyhow go check it out - and as soon as you do your taxes fill our a a fedreal finacial aid pack on line - if you get the pell grant that will pay a good portion too but it is one of those thing that is first come first serve

Thank you for the info Danni.  Mark and I are both going to the education office tomorrow and see whats up!  I think we make to much money for me to get a Pell grant but I may try anyway!  Hugs and again thanks!

fill it out anyway - u can get NOTHING  fed funded with out it n in some states nothing state either - pell is income based but not everything is - mycaa is not n I beleive that is something they require but I could be wrong

we r not comfortable with me using tims GI bill at this time - we will see what the future brings

take good notes today:)

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOOHOOOO for Wednesdays!  I'm up and on my comfy couch, with my tweety bird jammies on, a BIG cup of coffee and my laptop.... Yesterday's court was the pits, as soon as they swear in the witnesses, they invoke 'THE RULE', I'm not sure what the rule is, but it means that the witnesses can't sit in the court room and hear each other's testimony.... so I got to sit on a bench in the cold hallway most of the day..... all I know about what's going on inside is that they put my son on the stand and grilled him all day long.  Today they're going to do the same thing to his GF, so I get to stay home.... they probably won't get to me until tomorrow.... I'm trying not to stress out too much, but it's wearing on me.... maybe I'll go get a pedicure or something later today to help distract myself.... a little retail therapy wouldn't hurt either... LOL

Prayers are going up to all that need them!


Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Ya'll have a great day my friends!
