We're Back

Our little weekend trip was very successful. The boys were well-behaved and silent the entire way to see Daddy (3 whole hours)... well except for the occasional excited squeal from Tristan when we passed cows or horses. Since we had such a small amount of time I really didn't take any pictures at all. Josh and I finally got to meet Kevin's family out here, which was a long time coming. One night we stayed up until 1am talking with his grandma, who was kind enough to offer her home to us while we were there :) It was a great visit! Everyone welcomed us with open arms. It was like visiting our own families. Hopefully we'll see you again before Spain, Kev!

The only downside is that I came home with a nasty nasty cold. Everyone else already had it before we left, but with my allergies I seem to get hit harder than the boys. I'm glad they don't get this bad, honestly. I've got all the normal crud for me... sinus infection, upper respiratory infection, general achiness. Not being able to take cold medicine sorta stinks, but I don't feel like it really does much anyway. I am hoping tomorrow will be a brighter day because I do not want to go to the doc for this. Sooooooo..... I am looking forward to taking the longest shower my hot water tank will allow, drinking some hot tea, and curling up in my soft warm bed to feel sorry for myself and get better haha :)

Things always hit you harder when your pregnant...at least that has always been the case with me!

I hope you feel better soon. That's great the the boys did so well! What good little travelers. We went home this past weekend and the girls were the same way, silent and happy!

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…

Crisis of Capitalism

*** I wrote this back in 2019 for the blog I write for my job, but never published it because I was worried it was too political. Now I feel like everything going on with COVID is exactly the "excruciating event" that might launch us all into action about these broken systems that hold all the power One of the biggest challenges to being sustainable is not having reusable/refillable options for everyday products. TerraCycle teamed up with UPS and several top brands to create a completely closed-loop container system called Loop. I started to feel excitement about it and then I realized something... why is this MY responsibility? I am not a billionaire, millionaire, nor do I have any power. Why is this gigantic mess something I am supposed to pay to fix? Does this even fix it? No. It's creating a new system of revenue out of trash, which is the only way capitalism will ever handle pollution. I don't trust most solutions that require a new product. Granted, t…
