Ive been BAD!!

Awww.. NAUGHTY NAUGHTY!! I can imagine your thinking DIRTY things.. but pull your heads up out of the gutter.

I just got a new piercing. Now yes, I know what your all thinking.. NOW WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU GO AND DO THAT.. And honestly mom, it was not TO UPSET YOU! I truly can admit that I really enjoy my piercings and like the persona I have with them. I like being different and wild and spontaneous.. and well I only drink an occasional glass of wine, and Im not a druggy,,, !!!

So piercings and tattoos are my way toward a bit of adventure. Okay, so this is short.. sorry dinner is awaiting,, and a movie and wine with my hubby. Ill blog this weekend I SWEAR!!

Oopss. its not that I forgot about my BLOG!

Okay,, so lately I have been a HORRIBLE blogger.. I know IM SORRY! It just doesnt seem to be enough time in a day. or week. or month. or a year. But I did return wonderfuly from my 4 day with my besties. We diffently did what all we could to have fun...

Friday, drove out to Mannheim.. I THINK??!! did a little PX shopping and hit up the Sinsheim Museum. Its an air museum but had everything from cars to trains to war like things. It was alot of fun ... they even had alike a mini ride area set up outside and you can by a ride.. Its 1 euro and you get in this round thing... push the button and your FREAKING SPINNING!! I of course did not get the lap bar on tight enough and was litterally holding on FOR DEAR LIFE!!!

Saturday, drove back our to Mannheim to go to Sealife that was really really neat,, BUT way to expensive for what all you see. I think I could have seen Ripleys Aquarium in South Carolina 3 times for the price i paid for this place but what can ya do. We then drove into Ramstein... GIGANTIC AIR FORCE post. Got to have a REAL american dinner and ate CHILLIS!!!

Sunday, had plans to go to Tonneswunderland.. which was set to OPEN on sunday, we drive out there and ITS DEAD<>

Monday we chilled. Literrally relaxing and recooping and convinceing ourselves to prepare for the week.

And here I sit on Wednesday, just calm and relaxed. And for the first TiME in forever we truly saw the sunshine in Germany today. My daughter and I walked our neighbor, played at the park and took wonderful Oscar for a much needed stroll.

Spring TIME please come!!?? There calling for snow on Friday... NEED I SAY MORE@!!! URGH!

So, cyber buddies,,, your officially caught up.. Ill be nice.. Heres a few pics..

Ive got the WORST LUCK!

Seriously Im starting to wonder if theres some type of conspiracy against me and gaining strides. My wonderful husband and I have been living in our NEW home for ALMOST a month. We did an advance on first months rent from the army because as all of you military know OHA can take a bit to kick in from finance. Well the last check for feb reflected SOME BAH, at that point I didnt think it was right but though maybe it would reflect more on the next pay period. Umm.. YEAH NO!!! So now we have gone into finance to be told we dont get the UTILITIES money cuz housing didnt send it over with utilities needed!???!! WHAT??!!! So off to housing my hubby goes to sit there for a bit and be told they cant find OUR folder.. uh huh thats right.. I feel an ICE complaint coming right along...

All in all at this point... housing didnt screw up.. Darn it.. Usually they do. My hubby has copies of the requested OHA forms and its all correct. So somewhere in here finance mest up and they owe me QUITE a bit of money at this point. There making it VERY VERY diffucult to pay my landlord on time, but thank god I have a very respectful landlord who understands.

Like I briefly mentioned earlier.. I have a VACATION coming.. 4 DAYS to be exact and I can honestly say at this POINT I NEED IT!!! OMG do I NEED IT!

I do however have a good weekend minus the part when my husband had to go into work to deal with some private who couldnt resist drinking while on some QRF. And had to do some major smoking on saturday and didnt get to join myself and the mayfields for our ikea extravaganza. Where I can honestly say I didnt spend that much but got quite a bit. I still have things I want to go back and get and will in the coming weeks when finance can get my paycheck fixed. But Ill attach a couple photos so you can see a few things. Im off to post at this point,,, and then to the gym. My one lifesaver of stress. I can run off my fat, and my stress.. How lovely!

4 days... til vacay!

March 13th... OH mY!

Oh my bloggers!!! Coming up on March 13th is a very very special 4 day. A requested leave by my husband and my best girlfriends husband. Thats right people an official vacation by the Mayfields slash Davis'. I think we may call our selves the MayDays. I am beyond psyched for this fantastic 96 hours of fun with our second family. We had a place in mind to travel too in Austria called the minimoondiss??? yeah spelling way OFF!!??!!! But of course it doesnt open til April. As we have discovered with all the neat places we thought of going. But it truly doesnt matter. We have planned several key places to check out and can do it all in the 4 days.. Like umm A GUMMY BEAR factory and of course I am dead set on going to the Birkenstock factory. For those of you who do not personally know me, I LOVE BIRKS.. i hug tress thats right im a tree hugger.

But in the search for thingfor things to do we discovered Movie Park Germany OMG like Universal Studios inthe states.. were going. We dont know when but we are SOOO GOIN!!!

Okay so its a short blog but I needed to prepare you for the 4 day of WONDERFULLNESS before it truly occured! This is gonna be fantastic. Oh I love the MAYFIELDS!!

Weekend Extravaganza~

Once again we reunited the roadtrips with the Mayfields. Its always fun when the hubbys drink, it makes for way funnier conversations and much more laughter from us wives. Micheal bought these liter beers from a german esso. It has like 10% volume in it or something ( its just freaking huge and super strong) So by the time we arrived in Graff.. only about an hour drive the men were truly TOASTED to say the least.

We had fun shopping and eating and buying NEW WINE!! Oh how I LOVE IT TOO!! This trip created the 4 day we are taking here soon with the Mayfields. Now we have never done a true true overnight road trip but I must say I am very much so looking forward to this if we can find a dog sitter for my mut.

The evening continued to be amusing with the wine bottle exploding in the back seat at the shoppette, and the men drinking wine on the way back with there coronas. We arrived fashionably late to Brian and Beckys house for GAME NIGHT! OMG! You think rockband night was entertaining... I so wish I had had my camera for Game night. We played pictionary.. Vajayyyjayyyss vs. Winkers.. OH !! there is so HAND signals for that too that would have you peeing in your pants. I will have to upload video....umm thought to ponder...Must speak with Becky on videoing her vajayjay vs. winkers move...

Lets just say vajayjayyysss KICKED winkers BUTTTSS!! Twice.. in a ROW! Thats right even with the WINKERS whinning about saying the pic first and US letting them have it we still BEAT EM!! UHH HUH!! Ladies RULE!

So, I myself and my family had a fabulous evening... Daughter even locked herself in there bathroom, We were able to talk her through unlocking the door and event rescued!

I must now take a moment to ponder the wonderful friends I have made here recently and truly give a shout out to them. I love em all to death and even though this upcoming deployment will suck, it wont suck as bad as it could. I have great friends to stand by and be depressed with. And that cyber buddies is true friends!

On to today, I took out some time to pull up some weeds. Considering my cute little german house has not been lived in, in quite some time my yard and flowering shruberies are looking like something died up in here. So I grabed a knife, some gloves and started yanking up some weeds and cutting back some bushes. Drive way done. Looks alot neater and cleaner and maybe this spring that bush will look less like a dead mess. umm...

Kids got to play with there new sidewalk chalk on there VERY OWN DRIVEWAY!! They love this house...:) as do I!!

Enjoy the grins on my kiddies faces from today. Happy first week of March to you all.

back to Taxes...

Okay,,, everyone scroll to the lower half of the blog.. Re-read the one on taxes...

Now come back to the top and lets go into more detail.

I complained recently on the delay to my taxes, to only find out they were taking back 350 dollars from our refund claiming my hubbys combat needed to be added to his wages and salaries.. THIS CONFUSED the crap out of me. And well the nice little IRS lady I spoke with wouldnt go into more detail except that it needed to be added to his salaries. Now for you non military bloggers, my hubbys combat pay is NON taxable. It has its own special little place in your tax returns just for the combat pay. So I figured I would check with my army tax people just to make sure I didnt truly screw up. When I initially spoke with them over the phone they figured it would be a simple admendment and we would get the money back in time. HAHA!!!
I get into the tax office he does the taxes just as I did and ... THERE RIGHT!! I didnt do anything wrong. I put all my info in the correct place. In short, the IRS is screwing me out of 350 dollars. SERIOUSLY!!??? I mean I know were in a recession but our country can afford to help billionares become trillionares but my hard working husband, fighter of our country, protector of my and your freedom doesnt need his 350 dollars???!!! Im still in complete shock that this has happened to us. I mean I do everything right on my taxes, I file early and try to help the economy bu shopping as much as I can .. hehe .. but they take 350 dollars from me??? Like its truly gonna help the hell hand bag our country is turning out to be??!!!

So to all you military followers,,, DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING!! If you get a delay and they claim its due to your combat pay money FIGHT IT! I am sceduling an appt with the tax attorney and Im fighting for my 350. Mainly because we do not pay for the attorney, its army provided or I would let it go. Considering in Civilian world the attorney would cost me more then what the IRS owes me. Plus, I should get interest on the money as well.

You know, what do you think?? I was tongued tied over the situation and slightly humored by it. But with time I will stick my sock somewhere in someones butt for the rip off. Humm. I feel better already. :)

Pleasant evening all.

Its been awhile.. RIGHT??!!

Forever.. Its truly been forever. OH, How I have missed my cyber buddies. Theres so much to share here. I MOVED.. Yup thats right all my dear cyber friends.. I have moved, out of the nasty mold infested.. run downed dalapidated building (the army claims to be family housing) and into a HOME. I mean truly any house can be a home as long as you make it one but this truly feels like a home. My children and my dog have yard all there own!! To play and frolic as they should and a drive way to ride there bikes like all kids need too.

Here I sit in room 1 of 4 that I currently have. The computer room and playroom combined. Listening to my children enjoy the freedome of being loud and obnoxious and only truly annoying myself and my husband. No more shoes to trip over on the first floor landing , no more nasty armoa of smoke or inconsiderate neighbors who have no courtesy what so ever. Freedom, the true underlying release of ones self.

I love this home. Even though I have killed four of the BIGGEST spiders Ive ever seen in my life. I will just tell myself they were here first and I shall just kill them off one by one til there in heaven together again. Its better there for them.

As I shared with you all before, my hubby and I moved a bunch of things on our own before the movers arrived in an effort to hurry along the moving process. Thats funny now that I think about it. Considering my measily little apartment took them roughly 6-7 hours to pack.. then jsut one to unload it all. In a blizzard at that. The morning the movers arrived our post was shut down entirely due to the amount of snow we had. But I still managed to move without a problem and now less then a week later I am pretty much unpacked. I mean theres a storage room in the basement full of boxes.. with things in them that I probably dont need but could careless at this point to go through so sitting they shall do til I deam ready to attack. My childrens rooms are done and looking rather snazzy I must say.. and will look even more COMPLETE when there fabulous YAYA sends there new room items. Im elaborated by new bedding!!!It gets my blood flowing. My 2 year old cant say enough about her "pink room". Every little girl should have a pink room at some point in there life and she has reached that mile stone, Im quite proud.

Even more news to share,,, we have located a car for the hubby. OH THANK GOD is all I can say. I mean I did 2 days of 5 am PT call,,,, and Im sorry I can not go to bed at 10 and get up at 5 drive 20-30 min to post to take him in for pt.. drive back home leave again at 8 to take the son to school and then end up having errands to run on post then not enough time to come home jsut to have to turn around and go back for him. I can really say Im like a zombie. And I thought for sure I would sleep in this wonderful saturday morning.. UMMM no. Our fun lovin pup is now on that 5 am pt schedule and wanted to eat and pee. So I got up at 630 only to see my 2 year old appear at 7 so there was no going back to bed.

Day gets better.. back to the we located a car. Went and saw it today its a 93 bmw 318i series.. painted 2 tone.. blue and orange.. Oh it gets better.. the inside holds a shrine to all things pink. The roof inside is covered in pink velvet thats right people pink velvet. Now my husband would just take it down, but REMEMBER back to the pink room... daughter LOVES pink.. she would kill him if he took it down. Its even got matching seat covers that she will more then likely insist get put in. I see fun times in this car... Perhaps..?

Alright I assume for now I have blabbed to satisfy all you loyal readers for the day. I am off to snuggle in with my fam, and prepare for more needed sleep. I swear to share more tom. I swear.

Night cyberers...
