Another Shameless Plug

I had another playdate today with some moms from cafemom.com and so I have to stress AGAIN how great this site is, ladies :) If you want to find moms in your area they are right there on the site. Sometimes debates happen and arguments can ensue, but if you keep yourself in just playdate groups you can avoid that nonsense very easily. Parenting issues are always very personal to everyone so it's easy for things to get crazy.

The moms I met today were great and their kids were all well-behaved and wonderful. I had an awesome time and I'm really glad we all found each other. Noah will run off and join kids as soon as he sees me talk to their moms. If I shake someone's hand he knows we're there to play and he rushes over and says "hi kids!". He had fun today playing with all older kids. He loves 11yr olds and they seem to love him :)

I know what you mean about the debates.I belong to Babyzone .com.I joined at the beginning of Ava's pregnancy for the Due Date Club & that switched over to the Nov-Dec.2005 Birthday club.I actually know a lot of the women on there pretty well now & have quite a few as friends on my space even!But I try not to get into debates...as much as I love getting into them with non friends!!I usually go there for advice and other peoples opinions.I know I will like Cafe moms.com.I am afraid to join & then not be able to follow through with play dates.Maybe when Ava's gymnastics is over it will be easier.I'm glad Noah has so much fun,and you too!!

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
