So I had my appt today...
With the urologist today and they couldn't find the stone. Its in there, I feel it. He says that it might just be to small for the U/S to pick it up. When the lady was doing it it brought be back to when I had U/S with Kirstin and I missed it! I totally wish that instead of pictures of my bladder on the screen I would have seen a baby. Awww..I know. It's sad. lol! She looked at my bladder, both my kidneys, which she said were really healthy looking. And she even had to take the special U/S tool and go lower (if you know what I mean) to check out the Urethra (ms?). She said she found something but it wasn't the size that it was supposed to be. The size the ER found. She said this one was a 1mm. The one the ER found was a 3mm. So the doctor took some more blood, told me to keep straining for the next week and he made me an appointment for the 17th to come back in. He said the pain isn't normal if I passed the stone and the frequent urge to urinate isn't normal as well. There is definenetly something wrong. If it keeps up, my next appointment they are going to shoot dye into my veins and find out if the stone is really indeed in there. If its not and it's passed he wants to look farther into what is going on. He's concerned the stone may have caused some damage and it's making me feel pain and causing the urge to have to pee all the time. I mean I feel like I have to pee 24/7! It's rediculous and I hate it!!
As for Aaron and whats going on with him. The General signed off on the orders and his team is indeed coming home. They are still waiting for a date though. Regardless he'll be home this month. Sometime in the next 2 weeks!! Yay!
Oh and I haven't updated you all on Kirstin 2 weeks after her surgery. She is perfectly healthy and back to normal! Believe me she is BACK TO NORMAL! She is driving me up the wall half the time. LOL! Gotta love her though! School is going good. She is getting all green's and she loves her teacher! She made a new friend, Jr. He lives right across the street from us and he takes the same bus as her. Me and his mom have become pretty good friends. She's pretty nice.
Anyway, there ya go..my update! Thanks for reading..

So alots gone on but I am so excited..
To announce that my husband is FINALLY coming home!! I am soooo stoked!! I got a msg today from him saying that they lost their mission and he'll be returning home sooner then we realized. I knew there was a possibility of it because they lost their mission a month ago and there was talk of them returning. But I was told never to listen to rumors, I didn't want my heart broken if it never came true. His team leader stopped him when he came in to get his radio for work and to arm up, and told him to get ready, that they were leaving and going back home soon. They don't have a date as of yet. And if they did, of course, I can't announce it. But all I know is he's coming home!!!
A few days ago I ended up waking up to some severe pain in my right side. We had just ridden out Hurricane Gustav the night before and we ended up sleeping on the couch in case we needed to head to the storm room that is located in the Living room. So I thought I had just slept on it wrong or pulled a muscle. It got worse and worse and worse. It was to the point where I had to call my friend and ask her to take me to the ER. We were a bit concerned because we didn't know if we'd be able to get back on base. The base was on lockdown because of Gustav. But I called my Key Spouse who in turn called my husband's 1st shirt and he made sure we would get back on base. So we went to the ER. We were there for about 6 hours. It came back I had a kidney stone. I have had one before, so I kinda thought that it was that. But this one was smaller then the one I had 2 years ago. So they sent me home with pain meds and told me it would pass on its own. Yesterday, I had to go back to the ER. The pain was more intense then it was the other day and it felt like my whole uterus/bladder was on FIRE!! I couldn't stand the pain it was making me throw up over and over again. They doped me up and took another C/T scan. The stone had moved into my bladder. That was what was causing the pain. So I was sent home with another pain med. Because the Loratab was screwing with my stomach. And an Anti nausea. So far the stone hasn't passed. I am hoping it will soon. At least before my husband comes home. I just can't stand this yucky feeling anymore. I have been sleeping ona nd off all weekend. So this weekend really went by fast.
My sister had her baby shower today and I was a bit sad I missed it. But I guess it happens when your military and away from your family. She is carrying twin girls and seriously it doesn't look like it. She is so small still. But according to her doctor everything is fine.
So hopefully my husband returns this week! If that is the case I will for sure be missing in action for a couple days! I'll be praising the IB profin thats for sure! LOL!

So I did a dinner for a friend last night..
And I made her cake Yesterday.. It was a carrot cake. Unfortanantly I didn't get any pictures of it before the "accident" happened. So I can't show you the final presentation of it. Loved the way it turned out. It was pretty and red and it just look scrumptious. So I tried finding a place to hide it so she wouldn't see it when they came over. I couldn't stick it in the microwave because I have an ant problem right now and they would find it. So only other place to put it was the oven. My fridge had no room in it either. So in the oven it went. I waited for them to come over..about 4:30ish I start dinner. I am going along cooking away and Laura is helping me. I go ahead and turn the oven on...to prep it for the enchalada's. When we finished with the prepwork of them and we put tin foil on it. I open the oven and OMG!!! This is what I find...
I just sat there staring at it with my mouth hitting the floor. Laura was sitting down at this point because Miss Madison was kicking her insides to pieces. She looks at my face and says "what?" I showed her the cake and she just DIES laughing!! I seriously was about in tears! I wanted that cake to be perfect! lol!! She had made me such a perfect cake for my birthday last year! So I get it out of the oven and get started on this...this is how they turned out afterwards. Here is the Plan B cake...
So my pretty carrot cake turns to some 70's style mush!! Now it's hilarious but I just kept on apologizing!! I felt HORRIBLE! However the enchalada's came out SOOO good!!
Yeah so that is definently a very amusing birthday memory down the road. Funny thing is, the kids still ate the carrot cake and so did Laura and her husband. YUM right??? lol I wouldn't touch it. I threw it out after everyone left, when I did the dishes. I told her later on I threw it out and I think I might have traumatized her husband. He was shocked I threw it out. I wasn't gonna eat it and it would just sit there and mold. haha.
So that's my story, very amusing. I am airhead lately and this shows it. :P Pray work goes ok today and I don't burn the sandwhiches or end up with chopped meat on someones head..that seems to be my luck lately. *sigh*

Soo whats going on..
My daughter had surgery yesterday. Finally. She had her tonsils taken out and boy that was tough!! But she did so good and she was a trooper. Now she is just excited to be able to have ice cream and popsicles and pudding all the time! lol! She is slowly getting to be her old self. She's talking a bit more, although according to my mom, she sounds like Elmo off sesame street. Niceeee..lol!
Not much else is going on. We are just hanging at home and relaxing. She's healing. I can't seem to keep this house clean. I clean it and it gets messy again. It's an over and over again process. Get's kinda old. lol. I can't wait for my husband to return. Not only to see him, touch him, and kiss him, but to have help around the house again! LOL!
I took my car in yesterday after my daughter's surgery. I had a friend watch her for me so I could get it in. I had been putting it off all week because of things coming up. I went in there to finally get it fixed and what happens. THEY ORDERED THE WRONG PART! Oh joy! So they ordered the right one and it won't be in till Thursday of next week. They said my car should be fine until then. Lets hope so! I can't handle any more surprises right now!
So there is my update. Today makes our 3 months officially. We have 3 months to go! 12 weeks!89 days!! Seems like forever but really it's not. It's all downhill from here! Bring on the countdown!!

3 months down!! Wow!
Another 3 to go! Wow..3 months already. I am shocked! We've been told the time frame he is coming home. But I am not making it public till it gets closer to time. Only my closest friends know and it stays that way because of OPSEC. Anyway, so an update! Everything is going okay! I've prayed alot lately and kept my faith in God, and just threw all my worries on Him. And since then, I have noticed things aren't so stressful. So praise the Lord! I am so grateful. I miss my husband of course. But today seems to be a good day. For awhile there lately it felt like I was having mainly bad bad days. I missed him so much it hurt. I couldn't find the right way to deal with the hurt, so instead of getting out and talking to friends, I hid myself. I pushed them away. But I crawled out of my hole and have been alot better. :) I can't belive my husband has been gone for 3 months already! That time has really flown by. We only have 3 months to go and we are in the double digits now. Day wise. lol! Alot better then the triple digits right?!?
Kirstin's Surgery is this Thursday and I am a bit concerned. Her tonsils are acting out again and she's been running a fever on and off this evening. It breaks itself but her tonsils are so red and nasty. If I can't get her in to First Care tomorrow (tricare after hours sucks!!) I will have to call her doctor Monday and ask for her antibiodics to be refilled. And that means she misses out on her 1st day of school. I really want to get her on Antibiodics tomorrow so she can attend school Monday. Regardless she needs meds or they will cancel her surgery until she is better. And that means more time for her body to get sick again, and again and again. It's an on and on again process. I just want her healthy. She'll be out a week to 10 days after her sugery and she'll be miserable. Poor baby. But I know it's best for her! What kind of mother does that make me look like though? If my daughter misses her 1st day of school! I know it can't be helped but I hate that, that is what they will get for the first impression of my daughter and me. :( I shouldn't care what others think..but sadly I do.
Anyway, I am going to just do LOTS of praying..and hope things work out. I just want her better!! This would make the 8th time she's gotten tonsilitis in the past 5 months. Ugh!
The weather has been sooo much cooler! I am loving it! It was in the 70's today and it was sooo nice! Leaves are starting to fall, the weather is getting a bit cooler, fall is coming!! WHOOT! :) I got through 2 summers here in LA!! Now that takes a survivor!! lol!!!
My sister finds out what she is having on the 24th! Either 2 boys, 2 girls or 1 boy and 1 girl! I seriously have given up the guessing. LOL! I've retired. I guessed my best friends baby wrong and man, I was so sure I was right! lol! She's having a girl! And I thought it was a boy! So that's it for me. I am feeling 1 girl and 1 boy. But we'll see!!
So that is it for the updates!! I'll be updating again soon!
