Sick week

I have been suffering from a bad cold this week and Jenna has had diarrhea all weekend and has been sharting her pants at least 3 or 4 times a day. We came home the other day to find that the cat puked all over the living room and pooped in our bedroom (he must be sick too, he normally doesn't do that). And to top it off Maylani has decided that she needs to take her diaper off every time she poops, I guess she wanted to add to the mess. I don't know weather to cry or pull my hair out and pour bleach water all over the house.

Still waiting...

We got word last week from the company that is repairing our car that our parts won't be in till the 20th of May. Being a newer KIA model it takes longer for the parts to come in. Well the 20th came and went without any calls notifying us to bring down the car. So I called the next day to check the status only to find out that the parts did come in but they were damaged. The new parts are set to come in on the 28th. Until then, we are stuck with a stinky rental and we are all sick again. We found out that if we are approved to move overseas, they will notify us the beginning of June, we are hoping for England. So those who haven't come to see us here good luck if we are going to England, we won't be coming home to visit. Too long of a flight and too much money to bring little kids.

Choices

So we are nearing the end of our duty stay here at Hawaii. We are up to PCS the beginning of January. Our overseas list of choices came out and there are about 4 choices to choose from and of course you have the option not to choose too. The choices are Turkey, and island off of Japan two bases in England both about an hour away from London. Intially we dismissed the list because we really wanted Aviano if we had the chance but after talking about the possibilities we decided to choose both bases in England. One is Lankenheath and the other is Mildenhall. Our conus list will come out in July, I am curious to see what is on that list.

In addition to Mother's Day....

So in my previous post I mentioned that we were rear ended coming home from the North Shore. Some wonderful driver decided to turn at the last minute causing us to slam on our brakes. I was driving and Kip gave the lady a "hey, hello, learn how to drive" honk and we preceded on our way. But not two seconds later, the lady behind us was site seeing and slammed into the back of our car. We wouldn't of had as much damage if her truck wasn't lifted. So yes, to those with lifted trucks, you are at risk of causing more damage to the other vehicles if you hit them. Luckily the driver is claiming fault and we are completely covered with repairs and a rental car. Now it is just playing the waiting game for parts to come in to begin the repairs. On the bright side, the girls are not hurt and Kip and I only suffered some slight soreness for a couple of days. But I tell you, I haven't seen worse drivers than the box of q-tips (aka: snowbirds) that drive around AZ in the winter time until we moved here. But then again, I've heard that downtown LA and Vegas including upstate New York isn't any better.

Happy Mother's Day!

Well today started out pretty good. Kip and Jenna surprised me with a nice breakfast. We took a Sunday drive out to Haleiwa North Shore, went by Sharks Cove and got rear ended. Pretty fun, huh. Happy mother's day to me.

Cruising around the island

Saturday Kip and I got together with several people from his squadron and did a bike ride up through Waikiki, past Haunauma Bay and down past Bellow AFB. This was the same ride Kip and I did by ourselves a couple weeks ago. He led this ride to slow down the rockets and of course he had me be up front with him leading. It was a little nerve racking considering I am the least experience rider out of the whole bunch. But all went well and it was a really fun ride. (oh yeah, we had a total of 11 bikes. I think it was 5 cruisers and 6 sports bikes)
