Fill in the blank Friday!

So here is my attempt at the Fill-in-the-blanks-Friday questionnaire as seen on fellow army wife's blog "Guinn and Bare It"


1. I am currently obsessed with craigslist! lol with the pending house purchase going on, i'm going to my ever so brilliant craigslist everyday to find stuff to fill up the house!

2. Today I am nervous because, I am yet to receive a reply from the seller of the house saying they will fix stuff that came out in the inspection report, & if they dont agree to fix we have to walk away from the house :(

3. The age I am is 23 and the age I feel is 30, i dunno, at 23 i feel like i should be out hard partying, ,making mistakes & exploring the world..however im saving all that for my menopause phase, at least then i'll have an excuse! hehee

4. My favorite place is ikea! i love ikea! can i live in ikea??? :)

5. Something I have been procrastinating is folding laundry!! omg i have about 8 loads of laundry to sort & fold & I hate it!

6. The last thing I purchased was a dvd rental.."you again" - horrible waste of $1.09

7. The thing I love most about my home is the comfort it gives me, there is definitely no place like home.

Chanelling my inner HGTV Designer..or trying to..

I love watching the HGTV channel! sometimes it's my absolute guilty pleasure to just watch all day! I get so inspired by all the home makeovers & renovations & also the new things I learn about designing, real estate, all that good stuff!

Hubby & I have recently purchased a house, or rather in the process of, we made an offer it got accepted after a few back & forth negotiations, now we're just waiting on the home inspection to be done & we will close in a few weeks. Exciting!! :)

I am always responsible for our home decor, furnishing & everything else lol I think of my design style as simple tropical modern yet homey kinda style..???.. yeah me too. lol I've been looking through the HGTV website for some inspiration. I would have really liked to incorporate some elements of our homeland (FIJI) into our home, right now all we have is a war club lol but I think that will have to wait till our next trip back home (I dunno when, maybe I win the lottery)...

Since we have a main level area and a basement level area, I have quite a bit to think about. For our main level living area, which consists of a living room, dining & kitchen, I am going to go for a light calming effect. My color palette would hopefully be within the beige/tan, chartreuse, mocha wood accents group. The basement level has a large family room/den (or man cave as my husband calls it) I would have to put all my existing furniture in there so the color palette would be dark brown, tan, reddish accents, sleek black..more of a cosy warm feel.

When I think about what furniture & decor I have to buy I always think about three main things.

1. Price : above all else, I usually do not compromise on this area because I know if I cannot get something for a price I want, there will always be something else, I can always find something within my budget, I just need to be patient.
2. Durability : I have 2 girls who are crazeee lol If the item is not child proof its unlikely to be in my house, for instance our sectional is microfiber, easy to clean..cushion covers are able to come off & machine washable, slip em back on they look good as new!
   
3. Function & Style : I don't like to have too much things crowding up the room, the less the better & if they serve a purpose or even multi purpose that would be awesome for example, we have an ottoman,rectangular bench like, made with leather or pleather whatever you call it, put a tray on it 'voila' coffee table, also top opens up so its a storage for my girls toys & if we have guests with not enough sitting room 'voila' again sitting bench..and it looks great!

I'm one of those people who walk into a room and my mind is already wondering about all the endless possibilities I could do with the room and I can almost see my family living in there..when I first walked into the house we bought, I just had this feeling that this was going to be it! My mind was already thinking about color palettes, furniture, wall hangings, family dinners & what not..I'm excited to move into a place that is finally ours & start making it 'our' home..and once my husband gets back, it will be complete! :)



Peace & Love!

4 years ago..

If you take a quick peek on my lilypie counter timer thingi on the right, you will see it says we have been married for 4 years! 4 crazy ass years!! :)

On this day 4 years ago, Valentines day, as cheesy as it gets my hubby & I tied the knot! no big ceremony, no flashy reception..not that we didn't want a celebration but at that time our budget could only stretch so much..

the day before the wedding, I called my boss asked for a day off because I was getting married (big shocker for her..Hi how are you? can I take the day off i'm getting married tomorrow ohh ok thank you!) lol I bought my dress the day before lol and I think I invited my witnesses the day before lol

It's weird because I did think about what my wedding day would be like growing up and if you're a girl & you say you didn't ..yous a liar!! lol and what I had was way different from what I dreamt about (besides I knew Justin Timberlake was taken)

As I stood in front of the wedding officiant beside my husband and the time came to recite our vows, I was so overcome with emotion, something I didn't expect and I remember thinking "wow this is really happening!" and "so this is why people cried at weddings" (I never really understood that till that day) Commitment was never an issue for me but man..to stand with this one person in front of your family & friends and commit to each other, nothing can explain that feeling you get..and yes as cheesy as it sounds..it felt magical..

Maybe its all these different feelings coming together..happiness, nervousness, anxiety, excitement, fear, courage, hope, faith, caution, optimism, joy! so many thoughts going through my mind and the thoughts were so extreme they turned into deep felt emotions, emotions I couldn't control & I felt them reciting those vows, looking into my husbands eyes holding his hands, barely speaking clearly trying to hold back my tears..Damn!

Looking back on that day and seeing how far we've come, all the ups & downs, our triumphs & disappointments..we're still here holding on, and I'm not going to lie, marriage is so hard to hold onto after a couple of years but we are determined to make it last come rainstorms and rainbows, because four years ago I put my hand in his, looked into his eyes & gave him my life & heart to keep and four years later...he still has it.

Peace & Love

*Happy 4th Anniversary babe, even though I know you probably won't read this..I still love you*

Too proud to beg?

If you live in the states, there are SO many federal & state programs that assist families that are.. how can we put it..not related to Mark Zuckerberg?! I can admit & am not ashamed to say my family is working class, lower working class? at least that's what the state qualifies us as, one income household, stay at home mom & 2 kids..yep we are blessed :)

There's the common food stamp program, unemployment and WIC..I'm sure there's more programs but these are the common ones I hear about..we don't qualify for food stamps or unemployment but we do qualify for WIC, Women, Infants & Children.

Another friend of ours had told us about this program, you get checks every month, which you can reimburse for food items as specified on the checks. We thought, hey why not? little did we know the amount of money we saved on basic stuff such as milk, vegies, baby formula..they basically give us almost $200 worth of food for free every month and we don't even use up all the checks.

The issue I have noticed, some people are actually embarrassed to say that they receive WIC benefits. I mean I can understand how some people like to portray a lifestyle & being on WIC of course that shows your income isn't that substantial or not as much as you would like people to know. It's cool, I always believe in the saying "to each his own"..I on the other hand..

I come from a country where I seen people don't have food to eat, kids don't have meals for school or families subjected to having meals that are not nutritious due to the high cost of groceries and forget it if you think the government would give people checks every month so that they can improve the nutrition of women & children..we were not fortunate enough..so to come to the states & find that we can get help (save money as well) from a federal agency, I am far from embarrassed..I am extremely appreciative.

So people can look down on us, or agree with us all they want, sometimes we learn that where we come from definitely affects where we go & to appreciate all the help you can get..getting help is not a bad thing, it is a blessing, knowing with all the suffering & unfortunate people around the world its OK to put your pride away & humble yourselves..

Peace & Love.

while the cats away..

..so over the weekend I went out with a few of my army wives for a "ladies nite"

or so I thought...

i don't know bout most of ya'll ladies but it seems like the clubbing scene is just a place to hook up & look for mr. or mrs. right now. I personally love to go out drink, dance & have fun..not go look for people to play with. I was very annoyed that some of my friends were leaving us quite a bit to "go to the bathroom" when all the while they were out scouting for guys to "play with" ..ay to each his own, but don't come out for a ladies nite if ya want to play around with guys, nxt thing you know random guys are hangin around our table coz they apparently found out our husbands are deployed so that means no man around & sexually frustrated women! F U! we don't need a deployment boyfriend!

& the nerve of some single soldiers out at the clubs! man you guys are cold! haven't you heard "karma's a bitch?!" Imagine if you're out deployed in some war ravaged country worrying about your life & imagine some soldier doing the same thing you're trying to do with your wife back home? don't like it huh? idiot..

actually it isn't the guys fault..men will be men..especially single men..but if you're a married wife? you don't need to be going out to a club & saying you wanna look for a guy to mess with & leave your girls half the time to go look for them..that's not a good look, have some dignity in yourself, I'm not trying to be on any high horse or anything but it's about time women start portraying themselves as strong real women & not Lil girls playing games.


and of course that's the last time I'm going to go to a ladies nite..well I can't say that, I still love to go out, just not with the little girls..I'ma go out with the real ladies..the ones who don't need male attention to get them excited..(unless its our husbands) ;)

Peace & Love!

I'm not that weak!

For the past how many months, I have been without a man, I think I've been doing ok..considering all the shit I have to put up with and yes, while I may rant ever so often about how I can't handle it all the time..that's exactly what I've been doing - handling it!

what is 'it'?

well a couple of us army wives, have decided to go out on the town tomorrow nite..get loose get drunk have fun etc etc..and then one of the girl's cousin's (who is also in the army and promised her deployed husband he would take care of his family esp wifey)..anyways so he asks where we are heading out to..I gave a club that was hosting a ladies nite promo event, & so we're told that place is dangerous, fights happen all the time, not to go there blah blah blah..great now the other girls are scared. OK first of all, bitch is from Fiji, I have seen many club fights in my lifetime lol

second of all, wtf who is goin to the club to frikin fight? I'm jus sayin if some guys wana hash it out at the club doesn't mean I'm going to be dumb and jump in the middle of it, I ain't into drama like that..I can be drunk as a skunk & still know to get out of the way..

I don't know it kinda irked me that we were getting instructions on how & where to go out..I understand the protecting his fam part but I ain't no kid & I don't go out with any..& have they seen the clubs out here? there's like ten cop cars parked outside every club & st lol

Don't get me wrong, I love the thought of having a strong male 'bodyguard' by our side but I like to think that the men know we can handle ourselves for a few hours without them...

time to bring out the rebel ;) I'm goin to do how I always do, have fun when, how & where I want..just don't hang up if I'm calling from jail lol I'm kidding! G'nite!

Peace & Love

yep this is another deployment rant!

I would just like to say deployments sux balls!!!! The crap you have to deal with while they are away & especially when they are away, it's just frikin ridiculous. I gotta deal with this whole "deployment husbands away poor you" shit & of course frustrated in so many ways emotionally, physically & most importantly sexually! & its not only the crap we have to deal with on the home front but I gotta deal with what my husband is dealing with as well, which means I get the brunt of all his frustrations out there & it sux but why do I feel like I would rather bear the brunt of his frustrations then have him let it out on his workmates & potentially get him in trouble? & because of that I get frustrated with him & of course he gets the blame & its just one big circle of love..or rather lack thereof. Man I swear it's just not right to keep men away from their families for a whole year & give them only 2wks off, c'mon can't they spare at least 6 out of 52???! I for one am not embarrassed to say I cannot cope with deployments, I'm not army strong right now so what?! It's like living 2 different lifestyles & the transition time between them isn't cutting it...so GOD PLEASE GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO SURVIVE THESE TIMES CAUSE HE KNOWS I'M TRYING MY HARDEST OUT HERE.

(goin to take it out on the elliptical & a nice hot cuppa green tea) Goodnight!

Peace & LOVE (lots of it)

mai kana!!

"mai kana" ..Fijian saying which translates to "come eat"
something you will commonly hear back in Fiji while walking by someones house..
I remember walking to school & I always walked extra slow by my dear friend Anaseini's (RIP) house, her mom always had a huge breakfast waiting for them, pies & cakes & tea (for breakfast?!! i know right?!!) & of course Ana's mum would always extend the invitation to "come eat" It isn't a suprise that us islanders love our food, we take pride in our food & how it brings everyone together whether its for a celebration or just hanging out with friends at school during lunch hour, all putting in money to buy a serving of food to share..and all the odd meals common in almost every house, maggi noodles eaten cooked or raw (similar to Ramen) long loaf (tastes like french bread) breakfast crackers which is commonly known as biscuits (not the southern biscuits they have at KFC lol) and for special occasions "LOVO" (similar to the hawaiian "imu" or earth oven). What inspired me to blog about fiji food is when I went to the Asian Pacific market today & I found guava jam, which instantly took me back to my aunty cooking jam in her kitchen the aroma filling the whole house & everyone waiting for afternoon tea with biscuits, butter & guava jam..just Heaven!! Its funny how back when we were at home we never really appreciated all the comforts of these different foods, not until we travel halfway across the world, live away & when we see something in the shop that almost resembles the original back home, only then do we realise how much we miss the food & how its a definite part of our culture & our lifestyles. Like they say 'there's no place like home" I add on "there's no food like Fiji food"!

Peace & Love!!

when he comes home

(our recent discussion on the phone)

when he comes home..

I'm goin to drop off the car at the airport..or he can catch a cab (maybe cab is better)
we'll wait at home, kids will have no idea he's coming
there will be a big box waiting outside with a bow attached already
he will then come in & place himself in the box
and let me know when to bring out the kids
(note to self: make a door latch thingi on side of box)
kids will come out, see a huge box with a bow & begin to open it

and then....

that will be one of the happiest days of our lives!

Peace & Love!

different day same shit

its me again..been MIA for a while, does it really matter tho? :)

So its about 0230hrs & I'm wide awake..thanks to the hubby. every now & then we'll have lil arguments, over some of the smallest shit lol, why is it funny? well, becoz its kinda getting old, its come to the point where I'm not even upset about it anymore, its like now I'm just like OK see you later (well not literally). he text's me to get online so we can chat, 5 mins later he's blowing up becoz I'm just asking a few questions. He has no patience & every time he's deployed, i find it doesn't take much for him to loose it. That is another thing I hate about deployments, my husband is surrounded by men & all that constant interaction with them & the way they talk around each other, how they deal with each other, he tends to do the same with us sometimes..and I have told him countless times not to treat us the way he treats his work mates but I know its hard especially when he's around them for a whole year. So as an army wife I do what most other army wives do..just deal..(for now).

Anyways I started volunteering on post at our ACS (Army Community Service) office. The kids get to stay in the childcare in the same building, which is one of the benefits of working with them, I don't have to pay for care as long as I'm in the building. Met new friends, learning a few new things, mostly clerical work & all that boring office stuff..but I've been learning a lot about the post & a lot of the services offered and also a lot more about the army, much more than I would have learnt on my own. So many info out there but because I didn't know where to look & now that I get to interact with people working close with what happens on post I've learnt much more. I'm glad I get to do something & my kids get to interact with kids & also I get certified experience & of course if I go look for a job I now have a credible reference. which explains why I been lagging on my blog..I been kinda 'busy' lol

I did have time to update my music library & I'm so impressed with Rihanna's new album LOUD & Nicky Minaj's PINK FRIDAY & also Lil Wayne's I'M NOT A HUMAN BEING. Andddd did you see Gwyneth Paltrow on GLEE? I LOVED her version of Cee-Los song!

ehh..its almost 0300hrs, i better get to bed, i got to get up & feed kids screaming for milk! ;) G'nite/G'morning blogosphere!

PEACE & LOVE!!

one line thoughts

• I'm working next week..for free..volunteering on post
• I feel bad for laggin on my elliptical
• I still miss my husband
• I got a cocktail shaker! yay
• I'm going to bed now lol

Peace & Love!!!

teen mom

..so today after all my running around & sorting out stuff I managed to squeeze in some 'teen mom' on comcast demand..& i gotta give props to those girls, yeah sometimes you wanna slap the shit outta them & scream at the TV like they going to hear ya but i do understand how much they are going through, & even though I'm not in most of their situations (uhh Amber wth?!) I can definitely agree that being a mom, esp a teen mom isn't easy at all..

I gave birth to my first child when I was 19. I did finish high sch. I met a guy, we started hanging out, one thing led to another & we had a child together. At that time, I was working, I had my own place, own car, i had a lot of freedom & a lot of responsibilities! Every wknd I was out partying all over the place, meeting new & old friends & having a blast. so when I found out I was pregnant..it was just shock & disbelief, like how did I let that happen?

I wouldn't say I was a wild child, my family knew I loved to party & have fun, but they also believed I was very responsible & getting pregnant was probably not what they thought about me doing. I was scared to let them know because I knew they would be so disappointed with me & I never wanted to disappoint anyone even if it hurt me.

With all the drama that came with being pregnant, it all changed the minute Madyson came into our lives. suddenly all was put aside & we all came together to witness the miracle of childbirth & the joy of a new family member (esp a cute lil fam member!) then somehow you realise, we always tend to sweat the small stuff & never think to enjoy the bigger better things in life. All the tears shed, heartache & anger never was worth it because it never did matter in the end.

One afternoon, we were all sitting around at home just playing with Mady, while she was entertaining us with her baby antics & we were laughing at some new trick she had learned. My Aunt then said "children bring so much joy into our lives, if Mady was not here, we would not be sitting here laughing & smiling away" she was so right! If I could picture that exact moment without Mady, we would not be laughing..probably just siting watching TV..just to think of how much she added to our lives, laughter, happiness etc..priceless, simply priceless!

Peace & Love!!

feel the cold coming

it is the end of Oct already, which means pumpkins & Halloween stuff everywhere & rain & cold & of course the sickness season starts. I've been with my girls trying to sort out stuff from schools for both me & my daughter, childcare registrations, medical appointments, stuff to do with the car, debt consolidation & the usual homemaker stuff. I need a frikin holiday from this so called holiday. Halloween costumes have been bought, Mady is princess belle & melody is a butterfly. Madyson has recently gotten into the 'princess' phase, everything she wants has to be princess approved..i honestly thought she was going to be a tom-boy but she has a lil pink in her all along! Melody I'm still waiting for her teeth to pop out..shes 6months now & she has been introduced to cereal & baby food (loves her food except for peas..just like her momma lol) oh & husband has been..uh..the same? nothing much changes for him out there, just trying to survive & get his tour over with. we have been talking a lot about what happens when he gets back & when times comes for him to get out, which is roughly in about a year from now. plans are sort of in the planning process i guess, nothing pretty solid but the direction we would like to take is pretty clear although we have to wait & see, that's the beauty of the military, you always have to wait & see, cause anything can happen at a moments notice & pretty much can change everything. its been three months since hes been away, which is exactly how old my blog is, cool huh..not lol. after Halloween gets done its just thanksgiving then Xmas then hello 2011, super surreal how time flies! and me & my girls will be here in Colorado for yet another snow season..man I'm sooo not looking forward to that! I'm going to be indoors all the time coz i hate driving in the snow esp with all the crazy drivers out here! i guess we'll have to survive as well on our end of the world. we'll be OK, we'll always be OK, you have to always look at everything as half full (or is it half empty?) who cares! live like its the end of the world (uhh 2012? iaaa) such a random blog entry..ah yeah random blog ahh yeah *pauly D voice* lol

Peace & Love!!!

hello again!

I definitely been avoiding my blog for a while now, not good rita!! sometimes when you take a leave of absense, you tend to overstay in my case over-leave (dunno if that makes sense, if you got it, good job guyy!)..so since my last blog..

we're back home, san francisco was ok, was rather hectic & as soon as we reached home, for the first time it was just me & my 2 girls, no MIL, no friends, no family & more so, no husband :( its been almost 3mnths now, wow, time sure did fly (a little) we're ok, just takin each day as it comes & just hanging in there..havin the husband not being able to call for a week while they're out doin missions where there isnt any phones is def hard, in Iraq we were very fortunate to be able to communicate every day..but as every week goes by we're finding out more & more that Afghanistan is very different compared to Iraq..it sucks but what ya gonna do?

whenever hes away on missions, i find myself not sleeping well, the anxiety sometimes is too much & I have super weird dreams! yeah, i did have a dream where he was injured & we had to go see him, i think i woke up with tears..also had a dream about some weird competition i won..lol. Im not the person who believes dreams carry psychic messages, i just think we tend to dream about stuff we think about during the day, maybe things that the mind knows we worry about..i dunno. I always forget half the stuff i dream about but sometimes in my sleeping/dreaming state im thinkin to myself, dam this dream is so interesting lol i wish i could remember every detail of my dreams..why do we forget what happened?

anyways enough about the dreams, I hope you all have been well & happy. tonite, as you go to bed please say a lil prayer for our troops & have fun dreaming!

Peace & Love!

San Francisco Bound

I've finally finished with packing, clothes, shoes, IDs, chargers, baby bottles, diapers etc lol I will be gone for a few weeks so my blog may be at a standstill unless I get the chance to post from there..who cares, i don't have a lot of anxious readers waiting for me to post anything anyways lol I don't mind though, I like to blog because it feels like I'm kinda writing a journal & just getting stuff out, esp now that my husband is gone & my lil munchkins would be bored to death with my ramblings..honestly though I like to read my own blog, I like to look back & reminisce about everything that's happened so far, I'm sure other bloggers do too :)

SO anyways SAN FRANCISCO! city by the bay! My mother in law is still with us so I'll be taking her sightseeing around the bay, we'll go see the golden gate bridge, fisherman's wharf (clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl uh yessss!) of course the city, Chinatown (pork buns hehehe) crooked st, ocean beach, & some other places. I really love the vibrancy of the place, so many interesting things to see & do. I think SF is a place rich with culture & heritage & def a lot of personality!

I also hold SF dear to me because that is where I met my husband :) we were friends hanging out & one thing led to another, now we have 2 beautiful girls! I def remember all the places we used to go hang out by ourselves when we were dating, the city offered so many lovely places to enjoy each others company. I remember we used to drive up to this look out point some mornings, with breakfast from McDonald's & have breakfast together while looking out to the city, so beautiful out there..it made it feel great to be in love..good times.

I do believe once our army life is over we will be moving back to the bay. Most of our families & friends live there & despite the high cost of living, SF is a great place to raise a family. I just can't wait to get me some of that clam chowder! hehehe G'nite. Peace & Love!

Fiji..where we call HOME

My husband & I have been living in the USA for almost 5 years now, we've come to accept this country as our home but where we came from, Fiji, will always be our true home. When people ask me where I come from & as I reply Fiji, the common response I get is; Where is that? or Fiji? as in Fiji water? lol First of all, Fiji is a little south pacific island nation & yes that's where Fiji water comes from.I loved growing up in the islands, the environment, the people, the weather, the culture, the FOOD! oh how i miss the food :) Fiji is a multicultural country, with the population mostly created up of the indigenous Fijians (which I am a part of) & the Indo-Fijians (Indians who were brought over from India ages ago as labourers). There are also Asians, Pacific Islanders, Americans etc etc etc. Fiji was once under British rule, thus the union jack on the flag but is now an independent country, & the common language spoken is English.

I just miss the relaxing vibe of the islands & the beauty of the people & place & I sure do miss a nice warm beach to swim in! If you're ever planning a holiday soon, try FIJI, flights fly out of LAX on Air Pacific every week & there are numerous hotels to stay, budget friendly like Skylodge, to the more pricey like the Sheraton Fiji or Hilton & don't forget to take a cruise, Beachcomber is a popular one! (oh lawd I'm dreaming of a vacation now!) Soon hopefully, once the girls get a bit older, we'll be able to have $ saved up for a nice family vacation ..sunshine,cocktails on the beach,family & friends..ahh..I can already see it :)

I AM a DEPLOYMENT SURVIVOR

Browsing through the MIL spouse blogs, I came across this entry at goodnight moons blog.
So it is a bunch of other mil spouse bloggers sharing their thoughts about being a deployment survivor, the good & the bad! once you follow the link be sure to read the others blogs as well linked to her blog entry..read the awesomeness of Mil Wives & the un-awesomeness of deployments!

MY STORY
My husband is currently on his second tour overseas, first time he deployed to Iraq, & this time to Afghanistan. Deployments are definitely the hardest times of our lives together. We try so hard to keep our marriage together, there has been times where we were ready to throw in the towel & just call it quits but we always sought out the strength to keep carrying on & every good day that goes by, we are both grateful that we still have our family, we still have each other to get through the bad days.

Every Mil wife, knows we have to be strong to be able to survive, we made that commitment the moment we said "I Do" but we all know the pain of those lonely nites, crying & missing your other half..and not forgetting worried for their lives that when you don't get a call, stomachs start to turn a little, head starts to sweat & just panic sometimes engulfs you to almost insanity!

I look at our 2 girls & I thank god for them, I know my husband misses them tons as well, during deployments my kids have been such heaven sent! even with all the tantrums & meltdowns they keep me from constantly going to that dark place where you just want to crawl up in a ball & shut the world out, they keep me occupied & I love to share those little moments with them & of course I wish their daddy was here to see them, thank god for YouTube! :)

Deployments never get easy, doesn't matter if its your first or tenth, I read all these Mil blogs & sometimes the posts relate so much to me that I think hey you know I'm not the only one & I definitely won't be the last. I realise how much we sacrifice for our families, for our husbands & I appreciate myself much more because I am a Deployment Survivor & I will always be, for my kids & for the man I love, no matter what!

Peace & Love!!!

Religion & War

I hope the pastor in Florida, Terry Jones, seriously thinks & prays over his intending actions. My husband along with thousands of other soldiers are out there fighting the war against the Taliban, they do not need some Church's help to prove any point! one man & his flock of 50 people against the whole world!! First of all, does he preach Christianity? because I'm pretty sure his intentions are not teachings of the holy bible. OK yeah some Muslims have done harm to Americans & other nationals but does that make him any different? He as a Reverend should absolutely know better! and there is nothing no one can do to stop him because of the constitution & his rights. He has those rights because he is an American, uphold your American values Mr Jones! If any as 1 American in the world gets killed because of retaliation I hope he knows that life will be on his head, that was his wrongdoing to provoke unnecessary violence against the Americans especially our troops. Yes we are all tired of some Muslims & their radical acts which they do in the name of their holy book but that is why we have our troops out there fighting for us, for him! If he goes through with his ridiculous plans he is no better than the terrorists & should be exiled & stripped of his US citizenship because he does not represent or uphold what a true American is. Peace & Love.

IF THE PASTOR DECIDES TO GO THROUGH WITH HIS PLANS, PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS & ALL AMERICANS AROUND THE GLOBE.

they grow like weeds!! lol

If you want proof of how life & time flies just have kids! they grow everyday & one minute you're screaming your head off in the delivery room next thing you know they're full grown chubbers learning to sit & babble away in their jibberish which eventually morphs into English in due time. I'm a 22yr old & I already have 2 kids! :) I don't judge age on anything (unless of course you're a minor, like way below 16..I dunno that's a bit too young) but sometimes there comes a point where you just stop & look around & just think like "what in the world just happened?!!" wasn't I just poppin bottles in the clubs (under aged yea yea so..it was in Fiji!) now I'm poppin baby bottles! lol no matter what other's may think or say, I'm very happy with my youth years gone past, I'm content with staying at home on the weekends just chilling with my girls maybe once in a blue moon I'll have a lil drink here & there, nothing too crazy, I'm pretty much pledged to being a moma now, I mean just because your kids are growing & its more about them, I always try to think about me sometimes..maybe I'll go get a new dress for when the hubby eventually wants to go out with me..who knows..all I know is everyday I get to witness the miracle (& headache) of raising children, all the funny,sad,happy,angry times & finally understand what my parents (& every other parent) went through back in the day! G'nite! Peace & Love...
