The scream of death!!!

WOW !!! Today was a day I don't know that I want to repeat.I am so thankful for having a healthy little girl and my heart goes out to anyone who has to take their children for testing or surgeries of any kind because I don't know how they do it.There's something about those tear filled big blue eyes that was pleading with me.My heart was broken into a million pieces when Erinlee got her blood taken today.
She has been on allergy medicine for 4 yrs now off and on.A nagging cough and sinus draining too.So today in talking with her doctor she suggested an Asthma test and allergy testing *blood test*.I felt my knees buckle when she said the word blood.I HATE needles..I freak when it's suggested to me about getting a blood test or even an IV.I know in the long run I will feel better once it's over but it's the initial shock of it being done.
ESH on the other hand hasn't been exposed to more than shots since she last had them at the age of 5 I think it was.
We went into the lobby and I took a number.She asked if we were picking up her meds at a new counter?I told her no that we were going to do something different today and I didn't want her to have to do it but it was going to help us find out what's causing all of the sinus issues she is having.She looked at me like what is it? I hugged her and told her she was giving blood ... not a lot but some.She was like.ok..whatever. Then she asked THE QUESTION..Will it hurt? Well I can't lie to her.I don't like to sugar coat things.I find that it only makes me look bad.So I said...yes but only for a few minutes.They will stick your arm and take the blood and then wrap your arm tightly so it will stop the blood and we are done.SIGH!! She had tears already forming in her big blue eyes...And sat in the chair beside me with a death grip on Flutterkitty *you know the thing from Captain EO* ... Already crying and saying I don't want to.I got her checked in and the lady gave me 2 suckers to bribe her.NOPE wasn't budging.She said that there was a guy coming to hold her arm for me and I could just hold her in my lap.So I went and picked her up and took her back.She had started the waterworks big time by then.I was feeling my heart breaking off piece by piece.He was very nice and talked to her about Flutterkitty.He handed her a tissue to wipe her tears. *Love tender hearted men in uniform* ... He told her step by step what he was going to do and how things worked.He had chill bumps on his arms.You could see this little girl in my lap was breaking his heart too.So he asked me to bear hug her and he grasped her arm very tight so she wouldn't move it and we could do this only once.The lady stuck her with the needle and there it was...the scream of death! If anyone has ever heard her scream you know what I am talking about.It is at decibels that will break glass!!! I'm not even joking here.He must be deaf by now and I am waiting on his lawyer to contact me.Everyone in the clinic probably dropped what they were doing thinking they had a fire alarm! She held it for about 15 seconds..And stopped and sobbed so hard she lost her breath.They got her done and wrapped up.He proceeded to tell me he has never heard a scream so high pitched it was louder than anything he has ever heard.I told him we have always told her that if anyone ever tried to snatch her to do that in their ears!!
We were done.I asked her if she wanted a sucker or 2..NNNNNNNOOOOOO through the tears...How about Gnomeo and Juliet on blu ray ?? NNNNNNNNNOOOOOO followed by more sobbing.How about Ops for lunch...NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I just want an iPAD!!!! Listen y'all .. If I would have had the $$$$ to drop right then and there my baby would have had that iPad.I was willing to buy her Cinderella's castle at that point..ANYTHING!! It was so sad. Her eyes were swollen and red.She was sobbing and nothing was working.
We went over to get her meds to try and the girl at the window asked would a sucker make it better she said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I want an iPad... :( The girl giggled as did everyone else in hearing range.And if they didn't it was because she had deafened them while screaming).
I'm happy to report that we made it to Ops for lunch and then came home for a nap.Her bandage is off and she is going to make it through this..No serious damage was done.Only to my heart!!

The things that have happened here...

WOW is all I can say...
I just can't believe that I never finished my Disney trip blog...OK so who am I trying to fool..I don't ever finish anything I start.Come to my house..walk into our computer/sewing room and you will see what I am talking about.I have 3 sets of flip flops made...and they don't have bows yet.I have fabric that I laid out this morning with the intentions of making something pretty...never got around to it.Instead I spent 2 hours .. YES 2 cleaning Mojo out of my fridge..!! And chicken juice..GAG!! So I have to say my fridge is sanitized from top to bottom.Note to self...next time put the ziploc into a deep bowl instead of on a plate!!

Well...The Disney trip was fun.And if I could remember it all I would finish blogging about it.But I can't..so on to the next thing.

Erinlee ended 1st grade on a high note.Here we don't have letter grades in 1st grade,we have numbers.She finished the year with straight 3's which is equal to A's in the other schools.We are so very proud of the student she has become.It's like after Christmas something snapped in her and she was a reading wiz.She got a Reading Hero medal in an assembly! To accomplish that you have to read over 10000 words! She is going to be a book worm like us! YAY! She is currently reading Mr Poppers Penguins.She wants to see the movie so hubby told her there was a book.So we went to the library and she checked it out.We looked up the AR points on it and it is a 5.6 level book! She stumbles over a few words but not many.Not enough by the 5 finger rule to not be able to read it on her own.

She was in the talent show...I don't know if I talked about that.She loves music and always has.She learns lyrics super fast and has always belted out some tunes in the shower...So she wanted to sing in front of her friends at school.The lunch room was full of strange faces that night .. but it didn't stop her.She did an AWESOME job for someone so little and who has never had a day of chorus in her life.She 'sang' a little at school in K but it wasn't anything like this...
Well she wants to play the violin..I don't know where to find a teacher but that's next on my list of things to do.
She heard about auditions for a musical.She didn't care she wanted to audition.It was for the Sound of Music.So off we went.She sang Grenade ... and told a joke ... lots of smiles and giggles.We got a call back on Wednesday and she was chosen to be Marta von Trapp...!! What a cool role to have in one of Mommie's favorite musicals of all time.She is in LOVE with musicals ... and I am thinking that this is her thing.Everyone at the audition loved her and her personality really came out.I can't wait to see the production.I know it's going to be long hours but it's the summer.She only has tumble..but we can work through that.I have had many people tell me she was going to be famous...hmmmmm wonder if this is the start of her path.It's going to be a long one if it is but that's what we are here for....If she wants to try who are we to tell her NO.She wants to be on Broadway...so we'll see..Dreams start when people are young and I want her to follow hers! I told her she doesn't have to stop at the stars...she can go beyond them if she wants to :) And I am sure she will.

I believe that I am going to take our laptop or my mother's on ESH's birthday trip and trip report as we go...Maybe that way I'll get a decent trip report out of it.
Maybe I'll start about a month before we leave...that might force me to keep up with it.. HAHAHAHA Yea right.

Tumble has started at the gym for the summer...The cheer season is over ... We are sad about that but she will be back next year.She loves it.It has been a slow moving process but she accomplished her standing back bend a few weeks back.And now we are working on kicking over.She almost has it.Then on to backhand springs..WHEW that one scares me..but she can do it.I have faith in her :)

Enough rambling...If I think of anything..I'll be sure to blog it!

3 Days with the Mouse is NEVER enough!


Here is our most recent travel story..Follow us if you dare :)
Our Princess is into competitive cheer and we had a competition coming up in Daytona Beach.So what better way to spend the weekend than with the MOUSE!! I started planning right away and booked our meals.We usually go from one dining plan to the other or none at all.This time I was able to get into 2 places we have been wanting to go...so off to get the Dining Plus! 
I love details and I love planning things down to the minute but I was busy planning trips for other people so I just thought this trip would be a free range one.Why not .. right?!
I knew we had to be at Epcot on Friday for a early supper with Mickey at the Garden Grill and I knew we had to be at Epcot again for breakfast with the Princesses.And I knew that we had to be in Daytona at the beach at 9:40 to compete.And that's all I knew.
The days got closer and I got more nervous because I didn't have every detail planned out.This was not like me.Who had I turned into?? Oh gosh...could I do this.

The night before we were tossing clothes into the suitcases like crazy people.Trying to get ESH to bed so we could leave out of here at a decent time to spend time in the parks to get back to the resort because we had to drive back up to Daytona Beach bright and early Saturday morning.So we knew it would NOT be a late night in the parks.

8am Friday 3/18/2011-We woke up...Tossed the bags in the car.Fed ESH and were out the door! We got to the resort at about 11:45 to check in.All the way ESH was asking Which resort are we staying in.Knowing her and knowing the love she has for POP Century I booked it just for her.We have stayed in many resorts with her over the last 4 years and this was her 10th trip so I figured we would let it be her favorite resort.
Online check in ROCKS because the last 2 trips we have done the online check in and gotten to the resort earlier than check in time and our rooms have been ready.Maybe we have just lucked out but I am thinking there has been some Pixie Dust added to the trips when we can get our car unloaded and hit the parks all day.
We were off to experimental prototype community of tomorrow..AKA EPCOT! We were all 3 excited when we got the Mickey's Monitor in the mail and they had a sneek peek at the Flower and Garden show.We were on a mission to find all of the topiaries around the world.Not an easy task but I believe we did it.
First off we stopped to smell the flowers then headed over to see Nemo and the Mine birds.


Mine Birds 
This place turns my stomach every time we get near it.Once upon a time ... B.E. *before Erinlee* Brandon and I came to Epcot and someone decided to vomit just outside of the Living Seas in the bushes.I am a sympathy vomiter and I ran with my ears plugged from the area.So of course now every time we come here I just hear that awful sound of some one puking and there is no one there.This has been 11 years ago people..and I still can't get past it.
On to Turtle Talk with Crush.It wouldn't do but for our little offspring to be right up front to talk to Crush.She was the 2nd kid picked.Must have been the Agent P shirt she was wearing.So Crush asks where she is from?She says"I'm from Georgia,my mama is from FL and my daddie is from Boise".Crush looked confused.SO he says again..Where do you live?She said GA.He said "Where does everybody else live?" She said " I don't know"..Then .. wait for it....He said Where are the parental units to this offspring..OH GREAT!!! Well Brandon raises his hand and I duck.*we were all Agent P for the day in matching T's..so there was no escaping this*He said "OH I want to talk to the big Kahuna over there!!" The guy comes over and Crush asked Brandon "where do you live" He said "GA" then Crush said "Are you sure?" Then comes a speech about teaching our offspring and she knew a lot etc.It was rather entertaining for everyone because they couldn't stop laughing.
We were also on a mission to find more Hidden Mickey's that we haven't found before....on the way out we found a few.And ESH found one of the divers to pose with ... Ahhhhhh To be 6 again!!


On the floor of the aquarium
And another one! 

Near the Manatee area
Look ... Here's another one
The Diver ESH found to pose with!!


Then we found ourselves heading towards The Land ... Our reservations were for 4pm at the Garden Grill.We haven't ever been there and it's been on our list for a while.We had enough time to squeeze in a ride on Living with the Land before heading off to the Garden Grill.
We found a lot of cool HM'sok by me.When our piggies are tired and we want to relax we head over to the Land and grab lunch at the Sunshine Station and then go for a cool ride before heading out again.


One big HM on the table
4pm on the dot we are in line for the Garden Grill! I think we all 3 were drooling by this point in the day.We had breakfast and snacks in the car.But lunch was forgotten about.We made up for it trust me!It was everything we hoped for and more.I am personally not a fish/seafood person.I did look at the menu before booking but thought there would be something I could eat.So we were served family style.
Dale was first in for hugs
Our server was very kind in explaining that we could get seconds of anything we liked ... Erinlee wasn't too pleased with the kids menu choice.It was a baked drumstick,mac and cheese,broccoli and sweet potato fries.So when he came back he noticed that she hadn't touched her food.I politely explained that she doesn't eat anything but white meat and she is not a fan of the choices before her.
Next the Big Cheese came in for hugs
He said OH GOSH..no problem .. let me get her some chicken nuggets and fries.So off he went.This man was making a good tip off of just that alone.He brought back nuggets and fries.THANK GOODNESS for kind people.Ours was started off with a fresh salad from the veggies grown right there in the Living with the Land section of the Land.
Here is Chip getting some love
Our main meal consisted of mahi mahi (this is the 2nd time I have tired it and I can say now that I am not a fan) turkey breast with gravy and dressing then Char Grilled Beef Strip Loin with smashed potatoes! We got seconds of everything except the mahi mahi.Then out came dessert!
Pluto's first photo op before the invitation to join us
 OH Had we only known we would NOT have had seconds...Strawberry/Rhubarb Crisp, with Vanilla Bean Cream *not ice cream*.The angels sang and there was a glowing light coming from above when he sat this in front of us.WOW!
ESH's dessert! YUM
Somewhere in there we were graced with the presence of Chip,Dale,Mickey and Pluto.They were all after our food and Erinlee asked Pluto to sit beside her so she could scratch his head.It was a wonderful meal and I know we will be back again for this one!
We waddled out and headed back into the park.By then we all complained that we needed wheelchairs to roll around in because we were so full.
And Pluto getting extra attention
I believe I heard his foot patting the floor here :)
Captain EO....What can I say.My daughter is only 6 but has wonderful taste in music.She has had an obsession with Michael since he passed away and when she heard Captain EO had him in it it's a MUST DO at least two times a trip or more.So off we went.At least we could sit,watch and let our food settle.
We finished our voyage and wiped the sneeze off of us from Hooter.That's when she saw it.FLUTTERKITTY *you know Captain EO's sidekick* .. OH I HAVE TO HAVE FLUTTERKITTY! Well she got a gift card with her allowance from the past weeks so who were we to tell her what she couldn't buy.So Flutterkitty and a brand new Captain EO shirt was bagged up by the CM who giggled the whole time because the 6 yr old was explaining the whole show to her and how she loves Michael Jackson.


To be continued.....

Heading back to Ga today

Not our idea of fun but we are now the proud owners of annual passes so we will be able to come home more often :)
I will blog about our adventure when we get home


and get settled again.
It's so good to have hubby home again and I will have him to myself when ESH goes back to school. I see lazy days in our future. He is changing crews but has a lot of school in between and will be re enlisting soon. Yay lots going on in the house of Hayes this month.
There is also a huge new development for this SAHM but I will write more about that when it all comes together! Only 3 people know about it and we are all very excited!
So off to the happiest place on earth before our drive back to our GA home..but we will be back so there are 363 more days of Disney in our future :)

Today 10 years ago..I married my BFF 8/22/09




WOW!! Where did the time go?
I can't believe that 10 years ago we eloped in Folkston Ga.Because of being married before I had to have my divorce papers and well that was something I didn't know and a thing of the past.And didn't carry them around in my purse.
We went to a little wedding chapel here in Kingsland and found out we had to have blood taken..OMG I about passed out thinking about it.He let me go first so I didn't chicken out.And we told them that I had been married and that brought up another problem.So we were sent to the courthouse in Folkston to be sworn in and married there.No big deal...so off we went.It was a rainy day and I had worked midnights at the SO back home.Got off work at 8am and drove over to be with B.And had talked about getting married before he left for sea.He had just come back from deployment and we had set the date before he left.He got back on Dec 18th and had a bachelor party that I have only heard stories of.Something about singing I'm a Little tea pot and some boobies in his face...that's enough info for me.Knowing I was marrying a sailor I was prepared for the stories..LOL
We get to the courthouse and I had to take an oath swearing I was divorced and then we were directed to a little office in the back.We went in and there was an old old old couple in front of us eloping too!! It was so sweet and we both looked at each other and AWWWed!! We hope to be that couple one day.
One thing that sticks out in my mind most about this day was the little ole man that married us.He couldn't hardly stand up from his chair to deliver the ceremonial words or pronounce my name right but he made us husband and wife.We still talk about the "little ole man" and how he said this or that *making things up of course to fit the situation so that it plays out better in our little game* like you have to snuggle to my cold feet and warm them up too..that's what the little ole man said!!
We then went on our married way.Back to the geo bachelor barracks and drank some champagne.And I got drunk off of ONE GLASS! Passed out and that was the end of that...and he still loves me for it :D Never mind the fact that I had been up over 24 hours.. LOL
I can't believe how the last 10 years has made me more independent than I already was.I have done things I never thought I would.I have moved around the world,unpacked a house or 2 on my own *not without protest of course but when hubby's gone to sea you have no choice*,celebrated birthdays,anniversaries,holidays and many milestones alone.Not that I am happy about any of the above but it is what I have to do.Marrying someone in the military isn't for everyone.I believe that we are stronger than the average person and more understanding when he can't make it home for supper or the kids special events in life.We are all armed with cameras and video cameras to capture every small moment that they miss.
Rambling aside..I love my husband more today than I did when I met him 10 years ago! There were people who said we wouldn't last....! But look at us now :) We didn't have a wedding and do I regret it???.. not one bit!! Would I do it all over again..YOU BET!

Here are a few pictures of us from the past...I love this man so much! I guess I never really knew what love was until he found me.....And I am glad he did.
I love you BLSH ... To infinity and beyond!! Thank you for everything you do for me and have done for me in the past 10 years.Especially making me your wife and BFF! Here's to many many more!!





August 22 1999-The day after we met for the first time!!Little did we know that ESH would be born 5 years later on this day!!


August 22 1999-Getting ready to take the USS Pennsylvania back :( I love my hubby's smile!!September 19 1999-First time B came to Perry to visit me!

I wish I were a better blogger..I just can't find time in most days to sit and blog.And when I do think about it I am so far behind I don't want to play catch up..I SUCK! There I said it.. I feel much better now.

Here are the ages and relationships to the people involved
Girl 1-was around 7
Girl 2-was around 2
Boy 1-was around 3
Mom
Dad
Nanny-A's Mom
T-A's Dad
EX-my EX*has to be included here..*

Anyways...Here is something I thought that I would share.
When I was in high school I witnessed my neighbor's mother shot by her husband.It was around Christmas *a day or 2 before* of my Sr year in school.
I had known the family for a long time.I was BFF with a cousin of theirs.
The day started out typical...The kids *3 of them* were back and forth between my house and their house getting candy canes.The youngest 2 knew that we had them on the coffee table and girl 2 and boy 1 thought it was fun coming over and getting them when they wanted to.Girl 1 would come behind to make sure they were ok.
Their Nanny was staying with them because she had separated from her husband.
Mom and Dad left to take Mom to work and Nanny was there watching the kids and folding clothes.
Then we see Girl 1 dragging Girl 2 and Boy 1 behind her telling us that her papa was beating her Nanny inside of the house and they were in the bedroom.She was scared to death.The smaller 2 had no idea what was going on but were crying.Girl 1 said there was blood all over and she had to go back and get her Nanny.EX got my mama's pistol because we didn't know what was going on.I got on the phone to call 911 to have them send someone over.EX was standing just out the door .. I had the kids on the floor in the kitchen at the back of the house.I was dialing and went to step out of the front door just in time to see Nanny and T in the driveway.He had a shotgun and hit her in the head with the butt end of the gun.Then pointed it at her and she raised her hands to protect herself and he pulled the trigger point blank range.I was on the phone with dispatch when it all happened.It all happened so fast.There was no noise around me.I couldn't hear any yelling,cars,birds.Nothing..no sound at all.I heard the gun and that was it.You could see there was yelling but couln't hear it.I told the dispatcher she had been shot.Send someone now.I checked on the kids.Girl 1 was crying but comforting the babies.She was so strong to be so young.But she loved those 2 like she was the mama.
T stepped over Nanny and went inside.We didn't know what was going to happen next.It seemed like hours before anyone showed up.He brought out a blanket and tossed it over her,went to his truck that was out by the road.Put on his hat,grabbed a ciggarette and sat on his tailgate waiting on the police to show up.When they did he turned around and put his hands behind his back.By then both yards were full of police,ambulances and people.We were questioned about what we saw and asked if we wanted to seek counciling because of what we had witnessed.Now looking back I wish that I had.I had nightmares for a long time about T showing up at my mama's house in an orange jumpsuit and staring at me through the windows.
Dad came home and then Mom was brought back from work..It was all so chaotic.
We were later told that there were more shells for the gun one for each child.That T had made the remark that if he would take the things that were most precious to her and that was the 3 grandkids.And then he would take her life because he couldn't have her so noone would.There was so much said from both sides of the story that we never knew if anything was true about the extra shells or converstaions that happened weeks before with Girl 1 and Girl 2 at a park.T had asked them if the knew what Heaven was.And that there were birds and flowers in Heaven and they soon would be too.
They moved from the house and T was sent to prison.I went to several depositions and was questioned over and over about what we witnessed.It was horrible reliving it over and over.

The other day I got a message from Girl 1.She was like my little shadow.We went swimming at her house all summer.She drew me pictures all the time.She would get home from school and come straight to my house.She was the sweetest!!

Here is what she said:

"thanks for your words of encouragement and i never told you this but thank you so much for being there that day nanny got killed if it wasn't for you being home i don't know"


Reading this brought tears to my eyes.I was speechless.It touched me so much that I felt the need to blog about it.She is now 25 years old and it meant so much to hear this from her.I do know that we did the right thing and I would have protected these 3 little ones over again.I know if it weren't for us being there they might not be here today.


They all hold a special place in my heart.And she is the one who was smart enough to get the 3 of them out of the house and to safety.

Thanksgiving with friends..

We had a wonderful lunch with 2 friends at Cracker Barrel! The food was wonderful and the company was great!!
I was glad to see that we weren't the only ones that were out eating and not home cooking.I think that Thanksgiving is overrated anyway.I have a lot to be thankful for...don't get me wrong but all of the cooking and hype..just isn't for me.
I guess coming from a huge family of 4 uncles on my daddy's side and 4 aunts on my mama's side and a lot of cousins we always did Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter at our house.My daddy was quiet the hunter and cook.It was always done up right.But now I don't really relate to any of my family.I haven't talked to my half brother and sister since my daddy passed away 6 years ago and I am a Navy wife who has learned to make do.And if that means going out to eat for the holidays then that's what we do.
I was glad that we did get to spend the day with Lisha and Greg.They are so sweet!! And ESH really likes them too.Even though she was shy about it.When we got home she asked when we would see them again because she forgot their pictures that she made.AWW!
I guess that I have learned in the last 10 years that being alone isn't always so bad.
Friends come and go..but my hubby and daughter will always be there with me :)

Thanks for food fun and fellowship Lisha and Greg..If you are here next year..We will have to take the same table at CB again! It was so nice talking about the holidays and traditions with the 2 of you.I am glad that I can call the 2 of you our friends!

I will never catch up

Man...I don't even know why I still am allowed to have a blog.I am so far behind! I am shocked that the bloggy popo hasn't shut me down yet.
I don't know maybe they know that I need to vent and get my feelings out from time to time or share with everybody what we have been up to recently.
There has been lots going on and I just don't know if it's worth catching up on..and I surely don't remember where I left off! I think something about B getting SOQ..
We have been to Disney since then I think it was ... LOL And we are going again..BIG SURPRISE huh? When you have a DD who loves Disney as much as you do ... well you have to take her.Who can complain when her Christmas list contains Liv dolls and a toothpaste dispenser from an infomercial? So Christmas to us is going to be annual passes to THE WORLD and a trip!! We get to see Disney all done up for the holidays.B and I have been but ESH never has in all of the times we have been.YAY This is going to be fun fun fun!!!

I am going to skip ahead to what I am Thankful for (just in case I don't do it next week)

1-My family.As small as it is we have a lot of love between us.There is nothing that can break our bond.My husband is my BFF and so is ESH! I wouldn't ever take anything for their love and friendships.I don't think that I could ask for better BFFs than these 2.They love me for who I am and not what they want me to be.

2-My mama.I am thankful for her because if it wasn't for her ... I wouldn't be here today.We had it rough when I was growing up.She provided for me what she could.I was spoiled with more than just material things.I had love!

3-My life.I am so lucky to be a stay at home mommie.I never thought that the gig would be for me.I can't imagine life any other way.I am so thankful that I have a husband who serves our country and doesn't want me to have to work.We may not be rich or have a new car every so many years but we are happy.And that is saying a lot now days.

4-My health.I may not be a size 2 .. but I am healthy! I hope that I am healthy for many many many years to come.I want nothing more than to see my baby girl grow into a beautiful woman that I know she is going to become and for her to be happy in whatever path she takes.

And that's all y'all! I don't have many listed but I have to say that is the top reasons that I am Thankful! I could list things such as my light bill being paid..a roof over my head...yada yada yada yada but that all falls under one of the above 4 things.

I have a lot of other blogging topics going on in my head but they might not make it here because I am sure if I start I won't stop and the men in white jackets might come for me!! It would take days to rant about the things I have going on and 'PEOPLE' in general.So I'll save it maybe for some other time or maybe never...who knows I might just open up and become the outspoken one.But for some reason I doubt it.It's just not who I am.

If I don't make it back here before Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL!!
