Back to the Living
After a week of being down with a kidney infection, I think it may be safe to say that I am returning back to the living! Today is the first day I have felt well. What a relief, we head out to Arkansas for Thanksgiving this weekend. Hopefully after we get back, I will be more faithful to my blog. Oh wait, finals will be here. Ok, maybe after finals!! I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!

Where to Begin
Things have been crazy since David got back home! We went home Halloween weekend for my niece's christening. I have pictures, and I will post soon. Then David and Tyler went to the Razorback game last weekend. I was supposed to go, but homework was getting a bit overwhelming. And I knew Tyler and David could use some Daddy/Daughter bonding. They had a blast!! Good thing I didn't go, I came down sick.
David started back to work on Monday. He is starting a new job, and trying to learn how things are going. Doesn't really help that he only worked 2 days this week. He was off Wednesday for Veterans Day (GASP, he gets the federal holidays off again, first time in 2 years!) Wednesday night, I was lying in bed writing a paper and started having labor pains. No, I am not pregnant. I do not have a monthly anymore, had surgery over a year ago to take care of this. I was scaring the crap out of David and I was in the worst pain EVER. The pain labor pains finally calmed down, but I was in pain all night and didn't get any sleep. Seven a.m. on the dot, I called the appt line and they told me to be there at 7:40. They did a urine culture and it came back fine. She examined me and said she thought it was my appendix. WONDERFUL!! She told me to go get my blood drawn. In the meantime, I am trying to get a hold of David to find out where he is and my mom. My blood work comes back and the Doctor is throwing papers at me and telling me to go to the hospital. Ok, you want me to drive to the hospital by myself. I am in freakin pain! The hospital is a good 15 minutes away. (David was on his way to take Landon to daycare.)
I make it to the hospital and David meets me there. We go up to Radiology and they hand me two bottles of yellow stuff and tell me to come back in 2 hours! WONDERFUL!! We come back in two hours and wait some more. Finally they call me back for my CT Scan. They ask me if I still have my appendix and if I am diabetic. Yes and No. They spend a good 30 minutes trying to get an IV in me. I have the worst veins EVER!! They do the scan 3 times and then send me back to the waiting room. We wait and wait and then they tell us to go back to the base for my doctor to read my results. It is almost 2:00 by this point. I am pissed and I am still in pain!!
We get to the base and my doctor calls David's phone and I hear him say, we just got on base to go to the clinic to hear the results.....We will be there in a minute. OMG, we are both beyond annoyed at this point. And I am still in PAIN!!! We get there and they bring us on back and she says, YAY it isn't your appendix. I glare at her!! Then she tells me that I had several ovarian cysts that ruptured and a UTI that is so bad that it is safe to call it a kidney infection. Then she asks, how do you do with pain meds. I said wonderful and I want them NOW!
Did I mention that my parents were on their way to come up here to help us out with me having surgery. All we heard all morning was, be prepared for surgery. Don't eat or drink anything. My poor parents, turned around and drove back home! Have I ever mention how amazing they are! Bless their hearts!
I am no longer in pain, but I still have no energy and feel like I could sleep for days. And I still have tons of homework to work on. I am hoping my energy comes back soon. I have a lot to do before we go home next weekend for Thanksgiving.
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully my posts will become more regular!! As you can see, life has been getting in the way!
P.S. I am not checking for typos, I just don't have the energy.

Praying for Ft Hood
My heart is heaving tonight. I can barely pry myself away from my laptop. I am watching coverage on CNN.com. I cannot imagine with this base is going through right now. It feels as if it happened in my own backyard. God Bless Ft Hood and all of our troops.

Daddy is Home!
We are having an amazing week around here! On Monday night, the kids decorated Daddy's banner. They were so proud of it and worked so hard! Too bad that when we got home, the sign was in a huge ball in the grass! :-( Stupid Missouri wind! Luckily, we took LOTS of pictures for Daddy to see his sign that we worked so hard on. He LOVED it!!
The airport is all a blur! Luckily Rachael, from Good Two Shoes Photography, came and took our pictures of our reunion and taking family pictures tomorrow. She participates in the charity OpLove. If you are a military family with a deployment in the near future, present, or about to have a homecoming, you must check out this website! AMAZING!
David has been busy in the mornings taking care of all the wonderful briefings and inprocessing duties. R&R should start next week!!

Did I do the right thing?
I was at Wal Mart this morning to pick up some art supplies for the kids to make a Welcome Home Banner for David. I am minding my own business when I hear this lady (Walmart employee) yell at another employee. I am really trying to ignore this confrontation. The lade was so loud and going on about how she wasn't putting the cupcakes on the stand that she told her too and this poor lady is about to break down into tears. My heart was breaking. I really wanted to go give her a big hug.
I walked off, I didn't want the lady to feel even more embarrased about being yelled at in front of customers. As I walked off, I got madder by the second. I went up to a cashier and asked her if she could get a manager for me. A few minutes later I was telling my story. He thanked me for letting him know and he headed straight over to the bakery.
I am not one who goes and complains to a manager. That poor woman needed someone to stand up for her. I felt bad for telling on this woman who did the yelling.
I called my mom after I got in my car. She reassured me that if she was yelling at her employees, then it isn't the first time. And she could be yelling at customers too.
Why does it feel so bad to do the right thing?
