Not alot of Posting going on...

Yes, I know I have been slacking in the blogging department, but not because alot hasn't been going. Maybe some of the problem. is they are just to much is going on. Delylah had her first piece of steak last night. WOW! I wanted to wait until she was a year old before giving her meat, but her bubby decided that it was just so tasty he had to share a bite with her.








Last week we went to the church Mardi Gra celebration. We had so much fun. Look at my ROCK STAR AND HER SILLY BUBBY












AND NOW A PICTURE OF WHAT I AM SURE WILL EXPLAIN THE #1 REASON FOR NO BLOG TIME....

How to Initiate Change within the Army World…

I recently read an article about a study that showed that the magic number to influence people acting without direction is 5 %. I expect it may require more effort to get people to change course and perhaps that is what the army is hoping to get from the ICE system.
The ICE system is a place where the military community can rate the service they get on post and receive feedback about that service. I have used this system numerous times to make complaints about certain issues and even to show gratitude when I receive great service or found a program extremely useful. ICE kiosks can be found in numerous locations on your installation.

I feel the availability of the ICE system online & in numerous locations (IE: PX, Hospitals, & etc.) shows that the army realizes that the quality of life for the soldiers and families on certain installations is not what it should be and they are looking to improve this. So ladies voice your opinions good and bad. A wise woman once told me if you don’t use it your loose it! Visit here to make your voice heard. Remember ladies show compliments to programs you want to keep around as well.

9:00 AM Keygan and Lylah wake up. I make breakfast and dress them in 30 min

10:30 AM We begin making v-day cards for the kids at the Ronald McDonald house and my hubby calls telling me he is home. Go figure!!! so I spend the rest of the playgroup worrying if i should go home because he is unsure how long he will get home.



11:45 AM Leave playgroup. Hubby explains he is at ext 3 on the way to playgroup. I told him i would be home in 30 min just to turn around.



Noon/ 12:15 PM Drop of card to the Ronald McDonald house.



12:30 PM Made it home. Cuddled with my hubby until 3:30;-) I LOVE THAT MAN



4:00 PM arrived at Burt's amazing Butcher Shoppe for dinner



5:30 PM went shopping and found a bedroom suit for 400. PERFECT



6:30 PM drove home with my hubby holding my hand



7:30 PM Begin baking hubby snacks for the field * He went two days and miss every chow both days*



8:00 PM Took some snacks to a friend that her baby in the ER

Now here is how my day was supposed to look:

Job Interview

I have been up since 6:00 AM. Finding something to wear, showering, packing key's bookbag, and Lylah's diaperbag. It's now 8:30 and I'm blogging still not ready in my eyes, but I had to share this story with you on my very nervous day. I'm putting on my make up and Keygan comes running in my room" Mommy Mommy lets go" I respond, "I'm not ready yet", Keygan says, "Yes you are mom your already beautiful so your ready." I just stopped in my tracks and put down my makeup brush and said, "Lets Go! Put on your socks and shoes." So as he is doing that I am typing this little blog and going to my interview just the way I am even if I don't think I'm ready my 4 year old can see that I don't need all that makeup to prove that I am a hardworking Mom and can handle any Normal Job. I mean come on I'm a MOTHER AND ARMYWIFE. I've been trained well.
