Short Like Me!!

I got the same bug the kids have but I'm a big wuss. They got better a lot quicker than I did.
Here are some bullet points to get you up to date!

*City Boy just won the Company Grade Officer of the Quarter Award on the Squadron and Group. He was up for it on the Wing level but didn't get it. We're still proud.

*We will find out by Friday if we will be PCSing in September. (PCS means moving to a new base)

*We will find out where we will be going next week if we are going to PCS.

*City Boy just got called to be ward financial clerk.

*We will be going to Creature Cuddlers vet school Graduation in a few weeks and I will fly to Chicago from there.

My throat hurts.

Never Use Your Hand to Put Your Foot In Your Mouth

Yes that's right we have the dreaded Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. Basically it's just a fever, super crankyness and sores on the........you guessed it, hands feet and mouth. Dang, we missed getting the Montezumas revenge that we usually get when we go home only to get a nasty midwest virus. Stinkin Midwest. I wash my hands of you. Which is about the ony thing you can do with HFM. Wash your hands and pass out the Motrin. Dorothy made a grave mistake. If I had some red slippers I'd be clickin them to get the heck out of The Midwest. Oz is lookin pretty good right now!! I could be the Wicked Witch. I've already got the passel of flying monkeys.

2 Days on the Road and We Made It Home Alive!

"Big wheels keep on turnin'"
If I never hear that song again I will die a happy woman!!! We are back Right and settling into a routine.
Just for the record.
Going to New Mexico with City Boy, Country Mouse, La Rue and Manish: 20 hours.
Going to New Mexico with Country Mouse, La Rue and Manish: 15 Hours.
Why does it take 5 hours longer with City Boy in the car you ask??
Well it may be the 18 million pee breaks but I'm pretty sure that it is an extremly short attention span.
Anyone traveling on 44 into Missouri there is a great rest stop that has a playground outside of Joplin. It will work to entertain the monkeys and the City Boys too!!
