Frustration is a horrible feeling.
I have one teacher who really frustrates me. He is a brick wall no matter what happens. He is flippant and rude. I am so upset I just want to quit school. I am so tired of his attitude that I could smack him. Anyways I just sent my educational advisor notice that I will have to drop the class or get an F because I cant take anymore and if he will be my teacher for the class again he better find me a new program to take.

I have been tagged...
So Cindy tagged me with a 6 things about me post...Sorry it took me so long but with the fires and all ... well you know.
Okay so here goes...
1) I get really really really bad headaches when I am stressed. Which this past week means I cant seem to get rid of the same headache.
2) I am a horse lover. We have not been able to get one because we didnt have any place for it until now but we have no money for one now HAHA! Go figure. When we retire I want a big piece of land and a small stable on it and to get a few horses.
3) I want another kid (yeah I know I am crazy). I would love to have a boy but would take a girl :P .
4) I am very punctual. Being late drives me crazy. I will actually skip Sunday school rather than be rude and interrupt the teachers lesson. I cant stand it when others do that so I dont do it. (Which means I have missed the last two lessons because I was LATE!)
5) I love the Navy. I love the life. I love ships. I love sailing. I dont like it when I am the one left home though.
6) I love school. I love going to school. I love learning. I do not like online learning much though .

How does the time fly?
It flies pretty fast....
13 Years ago I was getting married. 12 years ago I was married for a year and had a baby and was going on deployment. 11 Years ago Another deployment for the anniversary. 10 years ago I was preparing to exit the military and had two children. 9 Yrs ago we had moved back to the mainland and my hubby was in recruiter school. 8 yrs ago we were doing recruiter stuff and having fun with 2 little girls. 7 yrs ago we had just had our son and were still on recruiter duty. 6 yrs ago we were preparing to move back overseas with 3 lil monkies in tow. 5 yrs ago we were back overseas and hubby was on his way back home with a severely broken leg *wah*.
4 yrs ago we were recovering from two major typhoons in one year AND had just had monkey #4. 3 yrs ago we had just moved back to the mainland (again!) and hubby was preparing for an 8 mos deployment. 2 yrs ago Deployment had gotten changed so he was gone and the 4 monkies and I were goofing off. 1 yr ago we finally went back to shore duty which is where we still are this year.
How is that for a breakdown of the years. Doesnt take into account all the hard stuff or anything but it is a timeline of the years we have been together. Which seems soooo small. We have seen each other at our worst and best times and we are still here. We are not afraid to keep trying when it gets rough and to be happy when its smooth sailing. So for my hubby I love you so much and I am so happy we got married 13 yrs ago.

The Mayonnaise Jar....
I have never seen this and I love it... maybe not the coffee but hey it could be hot chocolate or any other drink right??
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a
day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front
of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was
full.. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar
was full. The students responded With an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and
poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty
space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the
important things - God, family, children, health, Friends, and Favorite
passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they
remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and
car.
The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room
for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never
have room for the things that are important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play
with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner
out to dinner. Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
"Take care of the golf balls first -- The things that really matter. Set
your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked".
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
Please share this with Someone you care about.
I JUST DID.

On the way home I hit the bank and the office for our housing parking pass and get home with 30 min til I have to leave to pick up the monkey for the dentist. go to the dentist and he freaks out. OH BOY good thing our dentist is wonderful and walked him out of his spell. Finally get home at 1255 School lets out at 2....

Its funny but I actually LOVE the cold and fall and winter are my favorite time of the year! Thanks Kathleen I loved this one....
Tuesday, October 9, 2007
Wow Who would have known it would pass this fast....
Monkey #4 Makes her appearance on October 6th at 1045 pm 2003!
Monkey #3 welcomes Monkey #4 and is glad to have the new baby!
Monkey #3 welcomes Monkey #4 and is glad to have the new baby!
The newest Monkey's first Halloween! Everyone loves a clown!
Wow 2 years later at Halloween time.... Look what a big monkey she is!
Christmas Last year at 3!~
Here is the birthday girl last week.
Its so funny how much she has grown over the years. My 8 lbs 12 1/2 oz baby 4 yrs ago is now 35 lbs. She is no longer a colicky baby but a vibrant funny little girl!
This year we took our annual trek to Bates Nut Farm for the Pumpkin Patch on her birthday. She got to pick the pumpkin and we got a WHOPPER! Oh yes what a pretty 110 lbs of pumpkin did we get. I will post a pic later for you to see it. They also had the fall craft festival in full swing so I picked up a few more cool presents for her from their. Papa Monkey loves to go into the store and get things too so we did that and then we rode the Hay Ride tractor and did the moon slides and such. The kids had a blast but the fun wasnt over yet!.....
Yep we packed up our huge-o pumpkin and headed back to town. Yep next place is CHUCK E CHEESE! (Let me preface this by men forget things very easily so you must really reiterate a 1000 times how packed Chuck E Cheese's is on SATURDAY!) She had a blast and Papa Monkey helped them to earn over 1000 tickets meaning they each had 250 tickets to use at checkout... They had a blast then we came home and opened up presents and had the cake. Yes this was a good birthday and she loved all her presents ... Her baby and stroller and new quilted bear (from the craft fair *wink wink*) are her favorites. Then she got puzzles and books with a puppy from Grandmommy Monkey that she LOVES! So she loved it all and had a very action packed day. We left at 10 and got home around 4.

5 things meme... tagged by so grateful to be Mormon!
Okay so 5 things about me... oh boy that is a LOT! haha
1. I lived in Guam for about 5 years and we are trying to figure out how to go back there. I dont like the power outages but we LOVED living there. I LOVE storms (not huge ones) so all the storms there made me happy. I remember in one typhoon (during the eye) I opened one door to peek about and it was still all gusty and smelled so GOOD! I have it on video tape. My friend was holding me and I was video taping. Crazy yes I know.
2. Along the lines of Kathleens post... I remember as a teenager going on a horrible YW activity. We lived on the North side of Houston and so Galveston was about 2 1/2 hours away but we had an activity to go to the beach. It was just the YW of our ward if I recall correctly but it took like 5 cars to get us all there and one of them was the Bishops BIG ole van. Well we went and it was a nasty cloudy day (the ones you get burned most on LOL) so we are all out there in our modest swimwear goofing about...... TEENY TINY stings start hitting about 5 of us.... We swam through a nest of jelly fish. The one time I was VERY against modesty. Those darn jelly fish got everyone of us bad because we were in one piece suits and they had no where to go! GRRR. Then after we got over that and goofed around a bit more... we went home. Or so we thought. The Bishop's van broke down about 30 minutes from the beach. So we were stuck at a gas station 2 hours from home. Oh and its about 4 pm so rush hour in Houston is in full swing. LOL! We got home about 9 that night. We were all blistering and very tired. It was fun but not a day I would ever want to go through again LOL!
3. Family Friends.... I have a few people who really inspire me. Sister C and Sister D being at the forefront of them. Sister C is this VIVACIOUS, wonderful woman. I remember staying at her house for a fun filled Youth Conference where we stayed in members homes for YC... Oh my goodness we had the best time ever and she wasnt so happy that night. We loved it and we all remember it I am sure. We learned how to iron our hair (one of the girls ironed her hair apparently every day!) and ate alfalfa sprouts raw and just out of the carton. We had a 5 yrs old (Sister C.'s lil monkey) corrupt us and get us into trouble! Haha we were up until about 3-4 am that night and her youngest monkey was right in the thick of it! (She is still the same as I have heard lately but now is 25!) We had the best YC ever!
4. Sister D and her family... oh boy the times we had together. First let me say I am a convert and so my family is not LDS and does not agree with the Church either. So Sister D was like my LDS mom. I will never forget my first date that ever came to pick me up there. ROFL! Oh yes I was treated just like her kids. My date had to come in and go through THE INTERVIEW! HAHAHA..... Poor guy didnt know what was hitting him. He had to endure the where you going, who is going to be there, no rated R movies, no Parking, be home by Midnight speech. Oh so funny. I love that family. To boot I wasnt allowed to be present so here he is dating me (well first date anyways) alone with people who cared enough to put my welfare first.
5. Another time at the adopted family's house... too funny. I remember I was in charge. Okay they have 5 kids. Its a Friday or saturday cant remember which but the parents went out for a date.... OH BOY! We had so much fun! We decided to play hide-n-seek in the house.... no lights and music blaring. Oh boy! Trouble come when you do this so dont do it LOL! We were playing for about 20-30 min when I was hiding in the Kitchen and I saw a shadow. It stopped and I looked and then it started moving again. All of a sudden the kitchen door swings open ... They were HOME! I screamed and screamed and screamed. Yes you could hear me over the stereo too. They scared me to death and we all got in trouble because apparently you could hear the stereo 1/2 block down! YIKES! It was fun though and I would probably do that again :P
So lets hear some meme's from Lena and Lisa

Well here is the new fashion for my monkey....
Yep she busted her wing good. You cant see it here but her cast goes to about an 1 1/2 below her arm pit. She broke it in two places and had this put on Monday.
