Curt's NARSUM will be done today or tomorrow. Yay!!!!!! We go in next week to read over it and then he signs it by Friday. Then it goes around for signatures, they put it all together in a packet (medical records, LES, last three NCOER's, commander's letter, etc) and off it goes to the PEB :)
Yay!!!!! Another step closer. :) :)

Random thoughts
So Curt's extension finally went through. His contract is extended until August I think it is. Thank goodness too because our decals are expiring as well as our ID cards. Which I'm happy to be getting a new ID next month because I absolutely despise my picture!! Hopefully we'll get some news on the med board front soon. We still haven't heard anything. He goes back to the doctor on Thursday so I guess we'll find out how his NARSUM is coming then I guess. Nothing else to report on that front.
This has been a busy week for both of us. Curt has been getting more involved with events for the wounded warrior program. Today he is on a 17 mile bike ride with the project and is getting a segway in a few weeks, which he is ecstatic about. He also went to press conference at the Pentagon a few days ago to announce the 2nd inaugral wounded warrior games in Colorado in May. He is hoping to compete again and get some more metals in archery and wheelchair basketball. He is also joining the volleyball team here on post for the WTU and enjoys it. They worked on shooting a commercial for it the other day..all day...he was exhausted when he got home.
As for me, I am drowing in school work and haven't even started my paper I have to write for sociology. I have had three exams this week plus other things to do for my classes. Thankfully this was the last week of my government class and I'm already done with my final in that class. So now I'm back down to two classes..until next Monday when my meterology class starts! Hopefully I can keep up with the work load.
Its getting harder as Brandon gets older. I can only do work when he is sleeping and at night. It's impossible to work while he is awake because he is very demanding. I feel so rushed in my days to try to keep up the house, cook, help Kaylie with her homework and do my own. All while trying to spend quality time with two kids. It is exhausting. Brandon naps once a day, twice if I'm lucky. And only for an hour and a half to two hours. 2nd nap is much shorter if he even naps at all. Trying to balance being a housewife, mother, student, and girl scout volunteer is hard and I'm just trying to find my niche and make it all work. I'm stressed out big time with all of this.
It doesn't help that I want answers as to our future. I want to know what is going to happen. Where we are going to go. It's hard when your a controlling person like myself and can't control what is happen and how fast or slow it is happening.
My stress shows when I'm dealing with people, even the kids. I get frustrated so fast. Yesterday I called to make Katy's vet appointment. I was on hold for five minutes before hanging up and calling back to be put on hold again. I was transferred to the appointment maker and she asked ONCE AGAIN if I would hold...and thats when I became a bitch! I said no I will not hold, I've been on hold twice now and JUST want to make an appt. I'm sure the lady thought I was the rudest person on earth, but I'm getting to the point where I don't care. I want it done now, and I was tired of waiting for someone to answer the damn phone. Wasting my time, which is limited to hold forever, just pissed me off.
Curt tells me all the time how rude I am to people. Maybe I am, but sometimes idiots need to to get a grip and learn how to do things. I have no tolerance for idiocy. I get tired of being nice sometimes and feel the need to just speak my mind!!
Guess that is just my mood this week...not taking bullshit. :)

Up and down we go!
I hate how my weight keeps fluctuating. Down and up, down and up. I've been so busy I have had zero time to work out so of course, my weight is going BACK up. I feel like I will never lose this stubborn 20 pounds. My pregnancy with Brandon killed me. Of course it was worth it and I wouldn't trade my son for anything, but getting the weight off is proving to be tougher than I thought. I will lose weight and start feeling good, then something happens where it all gets messed up. Especially when we eat out. I know how horrible that is for you. I know that they are full of fat and calories, even the so-called healthy meals. It's awful and frustrating.
We're all working on eating healthy. I buy 100% whole wheat bread now, cutting out soda (except for at least one a day), I can't quit that cold turkey, eating my fruits and veggies and buying everything whole grain that I can including my pasta. Eating habits are a tough thing to change, but we're working on it. My goal is to get back down to single digit pants size and be able to run again. I just have to reach deep down and find that motivation!!!
On another front, things are picking up big time. I have massive school work to do which I haven't even started because I've been busy with Brandon and Girl Scout planning and getting to know my co-leader. I'm really excited with that. We have so much fun stuff planned for the girls!! Many trips and fun activites. It all starts next week on Thursday is our first meeting, Friday we have our Welcome Back campfire with smores and hot dogs and such, Saturday we're going down to an apple orchard farm for "fall fun day" ...and then Sunday the 3rd is our family pictures in the park. Monday is Brandon's birthday. My baby boy is turning ONE on October 4th. I can't believe it!!! The time flew by! Were not doing anything fancy or anything. I will make him a little cake and thats it besides some presents. :)

Hitting a lull
Curt went to the doctor this morning to see how his NARSUM is coming. Guess what...Dr. Edmundson hasn't even started it!!! Great. So much for the 35 days. It's almost been 35 days. Sigh. So Curt sent an email to his peblo asking him what is going on since apparently the doctor is waiting on the packet from the VA which comes through the peblo. Why is that dumb ass taking so long to get the packet over to the Dr???? Really! So like I said Curt emailed him to see what the hold up is. I hate when he emails since you get a slower response. I wish that he would either call him or go up to his office at the hospital. Oh well. We'll see what he has to say when he finally responds back..or not. HA.
This med board stuff is very frustrating and mentally draining. We did Curt's side by side on Wednesday (where Brandon had a complete meltdown..but that's a whole 'nother story). The side by side is where we see both of his pays side by side--obviously--all broken down. The pay on the left is if he was to stay active duty. The pay on the right is him retiring now at 100& disability. Since he is likely to get 80% through the army she said that then the VA would probably rate him 100%. so she calculated his retirement pay at 100%. Either way its a pay cut if he retires now. By 20G's. That's a lot..a big difference. But we noticed when we got home that his active pay was calculated as still receiving social security disability, which when he goes back to a "real" unit, he will stop receiving SSD. So we calculated that loss and found the difference in pay to only be a grand. That's it. He would lose a grand if he retired now.
So Curt's first though was. Damn, well I'll take retirement since we won't be losing much. I said, umm, honey, that's a grand extra a month we would/will have if you stay in. So honestly it is still better to stay in. I don't want to lose a grand a month. It's not like I will have to worry, or him have to worry, about deploying again since he is non-deployable so I think the best option still is to do the COAD like we were planning to.
It just sucks that things have slowed down. I hate, hate, hate waiting and we have been waiting for a decision for a long time. By the time we get out of here, God knows when now, his initial date of injury will be almost four years! Four years of doctors, physical therapy, surgeries, ups and downs. It begins to take its toll on a person. Curt especially, but his family as well. This whole thing has put a lot of stress and anxiety on me. I'm learning to deal with it and learn to accept the things I cannot change, which is hard. I have a very hard time of letting things go and let be what will be. It's all just frustrating at times. It makes me frustrated and mad to know this is the life we will have for as long as we live. To know that in as little as twenty years or so my husband will end up being wheelchair bound for the rest of his life. He will probably only to be able to have one more revision on his knee before they cannot do anymore for him.
It's hard to deal with. If I could turn back time and take it all back..I would. This isn't the life we imagined for ourselves. It's sad to see what has become of my husband of a war that should have never been. My husband was blown up for nothing. My husband lost so much of himself in that God forsaken country of Iraq. It makes me mad to even think about it at times.
Guess I'm having a pity party today. Which is perfectly fine, I'm entitled to it every now and then! And the longer we stay here in limbo the more depressed I become.....will there ever be an end to this long, treacherous road...will we ever find the door out of this place??

Busy Bee!
I have been so busy since school started. I had my first service unit meeting last Wednesday. That's all the girl scout leaders on Fort Belvoir. We have a meeting once a month. It was pretty cool. Met a lot of new faces. We'll see if any of us become friends. :)
Kaylie loves school of course. Her teacher's name is Miss Spunzo. She is really nice. I liked her instantly. She's a pretty new teacher. This is only her third year teaching. So she's a young buck. Definitely makes me feel really old haha. We have her back to school night tomorrow and I am at the Girl Scout table helping get new girl scouts for all our troops. I'm excited to help out in that way. Back to School nights are Monday and Tuesday so I have that going on those days. I am getting all my paperwork together and getting things ready for my first meetings. Kinda nervous about it. I really hope someone else steps up and wants to help with my troop. I need a co-leader desperately.
I feel like I have way too much on my plate. I have three classes going on myself right now for school. My work load has increased a lot, and on top of making sure I get all my homework done I have girl scouts and taking care of my house and kids! I don't know how a full time career woman balances all that. I don't know how my sister balances babysitting, taking care of her own kids..all SIX of them, takes care of the house, AND leads THREE girl scout troops AND the vista. She's insane.
Hopefully soon I'll find a niche and be able to balance it all, but right now I'm still getting used to having more things to do on top of my normal things. It'll work out though I'm sure.
We have our fall pictures set up to be photographed on Oct 3rd. I'm really excited about that. This is the first time ever we are doing photos outside and the first time I am leaning away from the traditional Xmas thing. I want something new and fresh! I love this photographers work. She is very creative and I love her pictures. We are going to a park that has old civil war bunkers as well. It will be so pretty with the fall leaves in the background. :)
Now I am on the prowl for outfits. I want us all in a different color, I want to offset the leaves so I'm looking at dark purples, olives, browns, and gray. I'm so excited and hope it turns out fantastic!
Anywhoo. No news on the med board front yet. Curt signs his commanders letter on Monday. Another step down. Still waiting on the NARSUM. Who knows when they will get that done. Now its just a waiting game. Waiting on paperwork. Story of the army. Curt extended his contract by nine months last week. His ETS date was supposed to be Nov 9Th. Now its Aug 2011. But of course he's staying in so that doesn't matter. But since you can't reenlist in the med board we have to wait.
When he reenlists he is transferring his GI bill to me. I plan on using it to get my master's. I haven't decided yet what school I will go to. It will be either Columbus State or Auburn. I'll research it more seriously once I am in my senior year. I won't be done with my BA for awhile yet so nothing I want to worry myself with and stress out about now.
Yesterday we had a horrible day. Curt went to Six Flags with two friends and ended up losing the car keys on a roller coaster. I was pissed. One our car key would be three hundred dollars to replace since its a key less remote, our house key is 50 bucks to replace. Plus Our mailbox key and my girl scout hut key was on there. I was LIVID.I had to drive all the way up there to give him the spare key and drive all the way home. It was an hour and a half round trip. No fun. Especially at B's nap time! Thankfully when we called up to the park this morning the keys had been turned in so Curt went up there to get them now. What a huge relief! But our car tire also has a screw in it. So were gonna need a new tire probably. I don't know how that happened. That car is only a year old and in no way does it need a new tire. I hate when stuff like that happens.
That's my quick update. I'm busy so I don't have time to sit and empty my thoughts onto my blog. I wish I did! But B's napping and I need to get stuff done while he is sleeping :)

Ramblings
Today was Kaylie's open house at school. We got to meet her teacher who is young and seemed like she is going to be a great teacher for Kaylie. This is only her third year teaching, so yes, she's young..younger than me by far hahaha. I think that has pros and cons of course. But overall I am happy about her teacher and think Kaylie will enjoy 2nd grade.
I'm still getting back into the swing of things here. Last week was extremely tense and very emotional. I'm glad that the "worst" is over and my sister's family can begin to take the baby steps forward to make their situation better. They definitely have a long road ahead of them, but it must start somewhere and I'm very happy that things are starting to look up just a bit for that very fragile situation. My heart still aches for them as they have many issues that need to be dealt with, but I'm glad they are taking the steps needed to get there and get my niece and the whole family in better shape and have better relationships. It's been a long time coming....and that is the end of that topic as its a private family matter...
Anywhoo...so I'm still getting into the swing of things and I'm getting very nervous and anxiety ridden about Girl Scouts starting up. I almost have panic attacks thinking about it somedays. It's annoying. I got my binder out so I can go over the first parent meeting and also my first four troop meetings and start getting things ready for that. I feel like I'm starting to pile on too much at times, even though I know its not. I'm in the middle of two classes right now and start another class this coming Monday. So my class load is increasing. I've never taken three classes at once, so I'm nervous about that and also nervous about getting all my work done for school, getting Kaylie comfortable and adjusted to a new school year, starting Brownie's, and also volunteering to help out in Kaylie's class when I can. It's good though, and I know everything will be fine...its just me and my stupid mind that thinks irrationally at times. :)
I can't believe Brandon is going to be ONE next month. In one month in two days he will have his first birthday. Makes me sad. They do grow up so fast. Still feels like Kaylie should be four or five and just starting kindergarten, not second grade!! I turn 30 in a few months as well. Which is awful. hahaha. I don't like getting older! I want to be in my twenties forever. :(
I'm getting our outfits together for fall pictures. I found a great army wife photographer who does really, really good work. I want to change it up and not do the same old christmas pictures like we have done every frikin' year. So we're gonna hopefully do them next month in early October and do them at a gorgeous outdoor location close to the Potomac. Should be pretty with the fall leaves in the background. So I'm excited about that.
Umm....what else....nothing new with Curt. No news on the med board front. Still waiting on the NARSUM and all that. So nothing new to report there.
September is just a busy month with birthdays for a lot of my family including my mom, sister, sister in law, and two nieces, not even counting friends. Our anniversary is the 13th. And many girl scout meetings and service unit meetings and back to school nights at the elementary school. Looking at my calendar there is something written almost every single day! So this month should fly by. Which is good. One more month closer to getting the heck out of dodge! :)

Life can change in an instant
We are having a family emergency as I type. I don't want to get into details yet because it is still fresh and new and our family is still processing what happened and coping with what is going down. I flew home immediately on Thursday to be there and it absolutely broke my heart and hurt me to the core to get back on that plane to come home. I wish I was still there. I wish I could take all the pain away and all the confusion, hurt, and anger. This has been a long time coming and I am glad that now it is getting taken care of. It will be a long rode to recovery and mental health but I am proud of my family for taking the right steps even if they second guessed what they did to help my family member in need. I am glad I got to visit my family member before I left which helped. I'm glad that she is on the right path now and hope that one day she will know this is what is best for her and this is the sign of ultimate love. Life can change so fast. I don't ever want to take it for granted. And I do, we all do until something like this happens to give you a slap in the face. Hug your loved ones a little closer today and remember to tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them....
