Since I haven’t posted in a long time I figured I would do a quick pic post for shits and giggles! I already posted them on facebook. These are Mark and the girls.. the first few are of the girls after they got ready for a father/daughter dance last month.. the rest were from our quick trip to Saunders Springs yesterday. I will probably take the girls back there again soon! I was messing with some of my camera settings in manual mode so that’s why some of them look odd!!!
I cannot read the gallery's xml file: /home/.dane/sandihaze/predictablechaos.com/wp-content/photos/markgirls/gallery.xml Please check that the gallery's files have been created on the admin pages!
As soon as I made the last post, Mark calls and he was able to to get our report date pushed back to 10 September. Meaning we should be able to take leave. yay! Now we have to worry about school and housing.
Mark doesn’t seem too thrilled though. It means now he will have to push one more cycle here. I understand his frustration, but hopefully he understands mine as well. As far as school goes, I mean we can always not use all his leave time and sign in early, it’s just knowing I don’t have to rush to get there that makes it alot easier.
Now all I got to do is check on Taylor’s EFMP paperwork to see if it’s ready to be sent up to AK yet.
Yea.. that’s me. Totally frustrated. It’s this PCS coming up. I think I mentioned before about the dates of Mark going “off the trail” and our report date to Alaska. 10 fucking days. Yea fucking right.
So Mark puts in the paperwork needed to get an early drop from drill sergeant duty, and guess what?! His fucking sorry son of a bitch commander sits on the fucking paperwork without sending it up until now, which now means it won’t make the deadline more than likely, so yea that will give us 10 days to clear post and move. It’s going to be just like it was leaving WA, only at least then, Mark got leave. This time there will be no leave. I am fucking heated! I overheard Mark saying that if he asked to have his report date pushed back ( which is what I wanted to do ) then there is a possibility of him losing the assignment and then we will be back to sqaure one.
To top things off, the doctor didn’t do all of Taylor’s EFMP paperwork at her appointment and sent me with papers they didn’t need, so I am still waiting on that. ARG!
I don’t know how the hell we are going to do this! I am hoping maybe Mark’s paperwork isn’t too late and we do get approved for the early drop, yes that means we will be packing up and leaving sooner, but at the same time, it gives him time to take leave so we can take our time getting up to AK, and we can stop and see the sights and such. I don’t want to rush.
On another note, my good and one of the best friends I have, Jason, (or aka electronicsfreak) posted on facebook about his mother, who is having surgery today to remove her cancer because the chemo didn’t work. I am asking that my friends and family pray and send out postive energy/thoughts for his mother, Regina, and for him as well. It would be much appreciated.
So I am going to try to refrain from my bitching but it’s been HELL the past month or so. I am not getting into everything but these are the main issues..
First of all.. we know where we are going… ALASKA! I was kinda psyched about it, but now with the stress I don’t know anymore. First they tell us we are going to Fort Wainwright ( Fairbanks ) then on ASK it tells us Fort Richardson ( Anchorage ). That wasn’t a big deal for me, psyched either way, BUT our report date is August 10th… Mark doesn’t go “off the trail” until August 1st, and as of now they aren’t giving him an early drop!!! Meaning we won’t be able to take leave it looks like and I have NO idea how the hell we are going to do this as far as moving!!! Oh and Mark didn’t make the E-7 list this year… There is alot more, but I’d rather not get into it.
I’ve been struggling to keep my house together and the laundry caught up and that hasn’t been going well. With Mark back at work I don’t have the extra help I am/was used to getting around here. When he is home, he is so exhausted he passes out almost right away. The girls are NO help whatsoever. I have ALOT of organizing to do before the move.
We just got rid of this nasty stomach virus that’s been going around. We had it for a couple of days. It was brutal.
Physical therapy has been going great! The past few times I’ve gone in, I’ve had NO pain!! I think my on next re-evaulation I might be discharged. I dunno. It’s been hard enough to make my appointments and such 3 times a week, so maybe it won’t be a bad thing not having to go anymore. But on the other hand, it gets me out of the house and the people there are just great.
KV sent me a message saying something about the captcha on comments weren’t working, so for now I disabled it until I can figure out what is going on with it.. hopefully I won’t get hit up with too much spam until then!
I do have more to post, just not enough time. I will do another one soon, I just haven’t been on the computer much lately if at all since I got my BlackBerry I don’t need it as much!!
Well I have a few things to do before I go to my appointment this afternoon and the girls are out for Spring Break this week. I slept in this morning and it was awesome!! HEHE..
