Ever feel like you are having one of those days over and over and over again? Well, that's where I am right now. To be honest, I think the weather has a lot to do with it. The lack of daylight, sunshine, and relief from snow/rain is downright depressing. By this time into winter I usually start hitting the tanning beds, which I totally would be doing now, but, I'm sick. Of course. Sick sick sick.
Now take that and add on some kids who honestly must be doing crack. (One spent yesterday doing his work and yelling that he hated me, and another crawled around on the floor while I was talking to her about making better choices.) Lots and lots of kindergarten kiddie crack.
Plus, I really want to know where we are going to move this summer. I mean, if Minot (North Dakota) is our place, I need to start looking into living separately from my spouse. Just kidding. Or not. Did I mention I hate snow?
Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Thanks for letting me complain.
I did get a little bit of good news this weekend though, it seems that my grandmother's (who is 90!) cancer is in remission. Terminal cancer? I guess not. God works miracles.

I'm not happy for you that you are having a series of humdrum days but how perfect would this post have been yesterday on Groundhog Day?
I am so happy about the news of your Grandmother! Stories like that always make me remember that nothing is impossible and to keep fighting.
So glad to hear that your Grandmother is doing better! That is amazing.
Hope that the days start getting better for you!
Yay for your grandma!! :)
And I bought the tide stuff at Wal-mart not target, so don't hate too much! hahahaha
Great news about your grandma! I'm so happy to hear that!
Sorry things are so sucky right now! I knew I did good changing my major ;)
Yeah it is surprising to me that Germany doesn't have an outrageous suicide rate during this time of year. Downright miserable, those German winters...
Good news about your grandma!
That's how I felt about our lovely Wyoming station. And by 'felt' I mean 'feel.' Grr snow.
How wonderful about your grandmother! That's exciting news!
Why not Minot? (Sorry, couldn't help it.) I know what you mean. Previous to the freakish blizzards we've had recently, I actually thought it might be fun to be stationed in Alaska. Now, I'm ready for a warmer climate! Or at least moderate. Brrrr.....
I am SO happy to hear about your grandmother! That is amazing!
The little brat who is crawling around on the floor... yeah, you should have punted her into the screaming boy. Two birds, one stone. Is that legal there?
I love following your blog! I must say today, because of your blog I have the most annoying song in my head. I read your title and thought of "Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, The right stuff"...the lovely New Kids on The Block...now I have it stuck in my head.
That's great about your grandmother!! Hang in there...with every day that passes we are one day closer to the spring!
Oh, children. How were conferences? Mine were delightfully boring (except for one parent going into great detail about her foot surgery coming up and her problems with transportation). Also, if I had a penny for every time I heard a parent say "I'll kill him/her." Puh-lease.
Just like Meredith said Nothing is impossible, keep on fighting.
God is growing you and I am excited to see what blessings He has for you and Jordan. Keep the faith. To God be the glory. Keep on keeping on. (Nanny is such an inspiration)
So glad to hear about your grandmother!
however i hate to be the one to tell you that the groundhog saw his shadow. sigh. six more weeks of winter. althought funny story we saw some roadkill the other day and dash-1 asked if it it was the groundhog and that that meant that spring had to come now. so you can look at it either way i suppose. i like his thinking.
That's what I was thinking...Groundhog Day.
I'm thinking about tanning bed also.
Please don't make me dread Minot any more than I already am. At least I'll be going in August. Heh.
What good news about your grandmother!!
Minot, ND... yeah, I can understand not wanting to be in someplace that snowy. (No offense to any of you ND followers!)
Wow! Not only has your grandma lived to be 90, she's also kicked cancer's butt, awesome!
This winter has been awful. I feel the same way you do. And no tanning beds for me now! I currently have my SECOND AWFUL cold of the year. I haven't been able to breath in two days.
Great news about your grandmother! God is good!
And I feel you about the Minot thing! Our chances are pretty high to go there next because of what my husband does and I joke and tell him I will be taking my own deployment every winter back to SC!
I hope you guys get somewhere warm and wonderful!
awesome news about your g-mother! :) God is good.
girllll, i couldn't live in a freezing temp. my best friend just moved from deep south to Wyoming... i DO NOT envy her... hope it all works out for y'all! maybe you should move to cocoa beach (sorry, that's not fair...i know things don't work that way!)... i just like it around there, that's why i said that...
feel better soon!! envision yourself warm, tan, and well!!!
I'm so ready for warmer weather! Even just a full day of sunshine! Hopefully tomorrow is a better day for you =)
so sorry you are sick. I heard we are supposed to be getting more snow this weekend/week... if Germany is like Hungary right now. I don't know about you, but we have averaged about 3 sunny days per week so far and that is HUGE for here... so I am encouraged, but it is too cold to go out. So, I am trying to see the upside.
Sorry about the kiddie crack kids. I am trying to get through my email, and will email you... but thanks so much for the writing advice, and you know I am teaching him how to write in lower case because of YOU... on a blog post you requested parents to do that... so I am doing it. :)
I am so happy for your family regarding the news about your Nanny!!!!! That is just awesome! Enjoy her!
Complain away lady, it's one the things I love about your blog. How real you are! :-)
I'm right there with you in the waiting game, although we have three choices as to where they'll be sending us, which are Germany, Canada, or Hawii. I just want to find out where, right NOW. :-/
Praise God your Grandmother's cancer is remission. God does work miracles and I'm super happy he worked this one for her, yourself, and your family!
Can't wait to see where your headed!

PS. If we ever got orders to Minot, I would live separate from the Sergeant for sure, at least for the winter. LOL
I feel for you and totally understand. We should be getting orders any day now and I am honestly crossing my fingers for someplace warmer. The cold is making me miserable and I have become a hermit. We're in Maryland right now and we are literally just sitting ducks waiting for our next assignment. I am so ready to go. This next move will likely be our last, so I am soooo excited. DH gets to retire in only 3 years. Now, if we can only survive the next 3 years.
OOOH, Minot. My husband was stationed there for 7 years. His first year there the temp (with the wind chill) was -96 degrees. The snow is only a small piece of torture you'd have to deal with. Let's talk about summer. His take is that the state bird is the mosquito. I am a born and bred North Dakotan and I can only agree that nearly anywhere is better. I'll keep my fingers crossed that Minot isn't your destination. Come to Hanscom (Boston), you get a taste of winter, summer and tons to do.
