Mood:  not sure

Well… I am awake, so I guess I will write some more. I am supposed to be asleep, but I feel asleep too early in the evening and woke up hungry. I would love to eat something but tomorrow, well later this morning; I am going in to have some blood work done. They want me to fast for 12 hours, which wouldn’t be a problem if I was still sleeping! Maybe I just need to drink some water, though I don’t think that will help. I was dreaming about sugar cookies. Oddly I dream about those often. =) I can still taste the way they just melt in your mouth with every bite, especially when they are fresh out of the oven. Oh, and an ice cold glass of milk to go with. They always had the taste of home and true happiness, I really can’t find the right words, this is frustrating, but I guess with every bite you are taken to a happy memory when everything was perfect, or at least it seemed through a child’s eyes. I guess I am more homesick than I realized =/ I was wondering, umm, when we come back to Cali to visit, could we make some sugar cookies again? (If that is okay of course) Man, I don’t like this homesick stuff… Lets see, the last time I was back there was in October of 2005, I think it has been a while… =(

Anyway, I am sure you are wondering about the blood work. Well, I have been having female issues for the past one to two years and the doctors are trying to figure out what it is, well of course after I had to tell them that its NOT stress!!!!! My goodness. Soldier was tested for a hypothyroid and tested positive for it. I did some research on it and since he and I, are blood, I may have it too which would explain A LOT. So they are doing blood work so they can see every possibility. I honestly think it is their way of sneaking another pregnancy test on me. I am SO tired of those; they become little head games that end up depressing me in the long run. Which of course would not be helping their little stress theory, irony. Haha. But yeah, so I won’t find out anything until my doctor’s appointment next Monday. Fun, Fun.

Speaking of that, Sleeveman… how have you been with all the tests they are running? Have they figured anything out yet?

Well, since I am making shout outs…

Hey Power Presto! How is school? Mom said you have had perfect attendance so far, that is AWESOME! She sent us pictures of your Halloween costume; you make a very cool Batman! Did you get a lot of candy this year?

Hey, The Josh, congrats on your 1 year and a half anniversary! That is really cool! How are you enjoying your classes? Have they turned out the way you had hoped? Like I said before, you did awesome on the make-up for the Halloween costumes! I think you really have a gift there.

Hey Cali Cola, (I am sure I can come up with a better blog name in the morning if you don’t like this one. Having a hard time being creative, that part of me still needs some sleep. Lol) don’t worry, I should have those things we were talking about, ready by tomorrow after my appointment. I mean I wouldn’t expect them first thing, lol, but I most likely near the afternoon time. Actually that would be morning for you, see… I really am tired. Hope your day goes well!

Hmm… I kind of like these random shout outs. Maybe I will start doing these more often. Hehe. I am sure you all are wondering about the house too, so I guess that is what I should go into next, yeah?

A buddy that Flyboy works with was selling his house and had offered it to us, with all closing costs paid. We really weren't in the market for a house, we love where we are right now, but this was an opportunity you don't find too often. No closing costs and a great investment, and a foot in the door at our age!  We were seriously interested.

Flyboy found out about it while we were at Mississippi Mom's, a week before Thanksgiving, and as soon as we came back home we took a look at it then talked to the Realtor. That was of course was Monday. Tuesday, we discussed it and gathered all the information we needed to get pre-approved and was going to do so that Friday, since Wednesday I had a doctors appointment and was really under the weather… allergies, yuck! Thursday was Thanksgiving, so everything was closed. (Don’t worry there is a reason why I am going into detail) Soldier called me Wednesday evening while I was babysitting and he said that he was in a jam and was deploying Dec 2! So I talked with Flyboy, and I took off on Friday, the day we were supposed to go down to get pre approved. Since I left Friday, we filled out an online application for that company and they called Monday Dec 1, while I was still at Bliss. Flyboy went down there and we were approved. Yay! I finally get back early Tuesday morning, day after approval, and Flyboy’s buddy approaches him at work and starts pushing him to get the contract drawn up. Flyboy was like goodness, we JUST got approved yesterday, and you were with me! My wife just arrived in town this morning, hasn’t slept in a day and she doesn't even know we’ve been approved yet .Plus she is sicker now than when she left on Friday. (I got worse from being out there in Texas) I fly Thursday so we can do something this Friday, okay? So, Flyboy comes home and about 2 hours later the Realtor calls to suggest a medicine to help me get feeling better! And then she wanted to set up a sooner date! Our schedule is packed! Not to mention that he sent the Realtor after us! I understand he is under a time frame and he wants to lock in a low interest rate with his new place, but my goodness, we are moving this along as fast as we are being permitted!. So needless to say, we have discussed it and because of how pushy he is being, we are going to pass. I don't like the fact he thinks he can push my Flyboy into this. His house has apparently been for sale for a LOONG while and he just tells us about it at the last minute because he doesn’t have any buyers yet. He does now, but yeah, and when we talked to the Realtor she was just beating us with "Look! This IS what HE is paying for YOU!" That kind of bugged me, but I blew it off, but after this incident, it’s like, you know, you are being rude and don't deserve our business. I was starting to feel really pressured that if I said no it would affect (I think that is the right affect/effect) Flyboy at work, and I really wouldn't want that. I know buying a house is supposed to be nothing but pressure, but not this kind. Anywho, we decided against it, and it is a good thing too because, Soldier is having me take over his finances and he is in a pickle and now that we aren't investing in that house we wont be stung tight helping him out =)

That is the house issue in nut shell. I think I am going to drink some water and try to get some more sleep. I don’t want to be sleepy and down a pint of blood. (I don’t know how much they are taking, but I hope it goes quickly. I am not a huge fan of needles!) I better go now. Good morning/good night, take care! Love ya!
