Family pictures.

This is all of us after a long and triumphant battle against the forces of the universe that were conspiring to destroy "picture day".

We're Behind the Times

Damm and I missed quite a few movies while he was away at basic/AIT. I managed to see Star Trek , Transformers 2 , and GI Joe but I missed everything else. Including the movie Up . But I need to include some info you might need. We watched GI Joe last night. Just ourselves-kiddos were with grandma. It was wonderful. And Damm was talking about the movies he'd like to see and they were action films so the Orclette wouldn't get scared, right? Haha. Just haha. So he compromised and we rented Up . We thought it was going to be funny, uplifting, etc. I mean, Doug the dog saying "I have just met you and I love you." Funny. Old man + young boy=funny. Supposedly anyway. But instead=poignant story of two young kids falling in love and spending their lives together. Then she dies. And not only dies but dies when he was going to present her with tickets to their lifelong dream vacation destination. IT IS SO WRONG WHEN TWO TOUGH ADULTS ARE BROUGHT TO TEARS BY A KID'S MOVIE.

I'm not organized.

Coming back from Basic I thought it would be really easy when I got home because I was used to waking up early and I had so much more energy from being in much better shape. All the married people with kids who are reading this... check that again: I thought it would be -easy- to come home to my wife and two year old and 3 month old and fall into a nice routine where everything was organized. So now that that has failed to happen I'm stuck trying to get something that works. I've thrown off my wife's organization and I've utterly failed to bring anything to the table. Well, she carries the kids less than she used to. To add to this Orclette has been SICK. She has thrown up a couple of times, is on antibiotics for stuff in her breathing areas, has a fever every other day etc. So keeping the house clean is considered a good day. And it shouldn't be. Wulfa was keeping the house clean with sick kids even. With me here we should have increased what we were gettin

So he had 24 hours.

And hasn't posted anything so... I'm one uping him. Ishvi(who is fully retired from WoW). Ishvi asked someone. Someone said yes. So yeah. If you know him via other means.... you should congrats him. (my mother fussily pointed out he's only had 22 hours to spread the news)

Slightly Distressed

So Damm came home late Thursday night. It was and is wonderful. Both Miniorc and Orclette seemed to bond right away and last night I caught him fussing over Miniorc's cold head (I don't know if anyone but a mother would understand but it was really endearing to me). As for myself ... I think I learned a lot during his absence: mainly how to be independent. I lived with my parents until I got married and then lived with Damm. And during his training not only was I by myself but I was the sole caretaker of not one but two kids. Hooah (or however you spell that. I still can't say it right)! I be Army Strong. And so it's a bit difficult for me on some levels to adjust to not being alone anymore. On the other hand, having someone to take out the trash so you don't have to: priceless. And it was a HUGE relief to hand over the reins of responsibility. Not all responsibility, you understand, just the bits I didn't like :D And now life can resume. It's really odd loo

Healing is easy I think.

It is so easy to top the healing charts in battlegrounds. This tells me that I'm effectively the only one healing. Because I'm not good at this and I'm always at the top(3 of 3 battlegrounds). Just got done with AV. Someone capped? a FW? and this led to the game taking forever? I dunno. We were up 430 to about 100. We won 202 to 0. The last bit from 430 to 202 was a long long stretch of me running into this tower thing.... healing for long times... then getting wiped out by a sea of red. I'd ask what to do to keep myself alive more but.. when you suddenly have 8 curses and 4 of whatever the DK thing is and 5 pets on you and this beast of a warrior thing... well you stop asking what killed you. Pike . I'm going to just point Wulfa at this and tell her to copy the talents seen there. She was wanting a BM build. And I trust you enough that I figure yours is the best I'll find. Also based on your latest post thingy on the subject I've recomended wol

Sundays.

I get to go to -my- church. At Ft. Gordon we had a chapel but I didn't feel comfortable going there. Not sure why. I'll be glad to get back to church. After church is dinner at my mom's house. Currently watching Winnie the Pooh with the Orclette. She is fascinated. Yep thats all. oh yeah. i just figured out why I didn't have nourish. :)
