They are gonna drive me crazy before I even get there

She graduated Weds from Pre School
They were all so excited


And cute in their caps and gowns


Trying to look for swim lessons for kids at our new Duty station....annnnnd I have already been on 100+ pages......tried to get hubs to find it.....he declared it a loss cause but I continue on. I found the lessons on the Aquatics page but that's it....no how to register, where are they, etc. This will drive me crazy all weekend.

Better luck next week?

Guess where we have been? Come on guess.....that is right ER again. Sage busted her head on dining room table and had to get it derma bonded.
Friday was the field trip for Maddie to the Topeka Zoo.....sadly it was so friggin muddy you could hardly do anything. Maddie went thru a tunnel on the play yard and her whole bottom half was covered. Then we were suppose to go to a park across the street and have our picnic lunch, along with about 500+ other kids on a field trip. And of course I turn around to clean Sage up and Maddie took off....scared me to death with that many kids. After that we left...not worth the stress. Thursday Kael went to the Asthma Dr who said the cough he is doing is post nasal drip so we are gonna see if a week of Zyrtec will control it. If not we will need a nasal spray too. We are down to the last week of school......Maddie has Graduation Weds and Kael only has a half day Friday. 28th we have a home inspector inspecting the GA house so we should know his report by next week. The 1st they are coming to do a assessment of our stuff to see what size truck, boxes, etc they need and they will start packing on the 7th. Hopefully I will get a video up in a few days of Sage singing/dancing. First pic is Sage and her new bed stuff....she's never had a pillow or blanket. Second is from the Zoo.

Sweet Oil, Who Knew????

So I am saving you from pictures of My crusty eyed, snotty nose and basically miserable looking children. Sage went to ER tonight because the Quack Clinic I took her and Maddie to yesterday could not be bothered to make sure they hired qualified Dr's, nurse practitioners, etc. The Dr told us Maddie and Sage did not have anything but a cold.......So Sage was up ALL night and the left eye crusted. Maddie woke up left eye crusted ( and I saw tonight looks like right eye is starting). So Grumpy....sorry....Sage....started around around 4:30 just screaming so I showered her and tried all things to make her happy but nothing worked. I sweet oiled her ear and took off to ER.....of course when I got there she finally stopped screaming and charmed all in the ER making me look like a CRAZY lady....but its a Ear infection and pink eye. All this time Brian and the kids went to the game.....there will be others I'm sure.
Kael is still coughing but its more drainage then Asthma so I don't know what in the world has him going now....but must get him in to the Dr's this week. We have Therapy on Monday this week because he has a Field Day on Tuesday at school. Maddie missed school on Friday ( she was suppose to be snack helper so her heart was broken ). She has a field trip Friday to the Topeka KS Zoo.....they call them family days so I will be lugging all 3 with me since Kael's school gets out at 1130 that day and Brian has a crazy day......he also has a International Student Appreciation ceremony that night .....he was assigned a Field Artillery soldier from Romania at the start of school, so that will be a crazy day. I need to get kids to Dr this week...do follow ups ....see about medical records.....I really need to pull stuff off the wall and clean it good before they pack it. I did 4 loads of laundry today, trying to get rid of germs........
On the positive side ......Kael and Maddie's new school in GA is outstanding, award winning, and parent pleasing .....so I am thrilled and scared ....hope both of them are up to the standards and not too far behind. So off to fold more clothes.

Hello Deployment

So its "official"......off to Iraq he goes. We had a VTC with the CG who is in Iraq and let me tell you much respect to the guys who have to do that everyday cause it is so difficult.....there's a delay and then it goes out and the other person does not know it has gone out and they keep talking.....ugh big pain in the butt. So we leave here Graduation Day so he and the others can get ready and they will leave sometime after 4th of July.
Kael's pink eye is 100% better but now his asthma is giving us a time. So we had to break out the predisone and albutural, trying to get in to his Dr. I really need a Oxy meter thing . He gets a cough not a wheeze so Albutural does not really help just steroids. Maddie started her cold thing yesterday. We are going Saturday evening to watch The Royals play the White Sox, Mine and the kids first Major League game.
I'm off to bed, very stormy night so I'm sure little ones will wake me up soon....LOL.

Can you say Pink Eye??

So I get a call Friday from the nurse at school and she says Kael's eyes are acting up because of "allergies" so she cleaned them with Saline and sent him back to class, which would be ok but the kid has no allergies ( I should know we have had the poor kid tested twice now). But of course I get the standard response that medical people in Kansas give" even people who don't have allergies are having problems this year ". Now I'm from the south and these people don't know pollen ......come to the south, that's pollen !!
So Brian picked Kael up, they go get hair cuts and I get another call from the school, this time the librarian. She waits with the 1st grade car riders to make sure they get picked up, not hit by a car, etc. My first thought is Brian has forgotten Kael but no......she was holding a picture for Kael since he was already holding my mothers day bean pod in a can and somehow she missed Kael walking away with his daddy and she felt really bad since this was my Mothers Day gift ( along with bean pod in a can ). I love the staff his school. So Brian has to drop Kael off at Maddie's school where me and Sage are watching Maddie's Olympic Day.
So low and behold Kael is all pinky eyed, crusted over mess........yes BOTH eyes. So I speed dial the clinic and of course there are no appointments left since its already after 3pm. But they referred us out to a walk in clinic and of course it's pink eye.
He looks better today, but I think Sage might be waking up crusty eyed tomorrow. She was cranky with some eye "boogers'' earlier. Pray its not. I have gotten so many goodies....poem from Kael and a card and a bean pod in a can. Maddie made me a flower pot and tons of attitude to go with it .....she is def my Mom's revenge .....that child !!!
1,2, and 3 are from the festival last weekend .....I think Annie Oakley and David Crockett?

4 is Medal's from Olympic Day

5 This is Abby, she is the smallest and youngest in Maddie's class which is why she "loves" Sage so much cause she is older and bigger......LOL.....she's a mini Mommy
