so yes, i apologize for my pissy rant in the last post. thank you for reading and thank you for not calling me a crazy loser bitch. i could easily blame hormones but that just seems like cheating.
after much time snuggling with an ice pack, my back improved. still have no idea what was wrong. many people have recommended the chiropractor but frankly i can't afford it so whenever things get sore, i bust out the heating pad and hope for the best. today is the first day of the 3rd trimester, and if it goes as quickly as the last 2, which it will, then this will all be over soon and i will then embark upon a whole new set of issues i'm sure.
my friend katie has made it to her destination. she said goodbye to her family just befor new years and is now adjusting to life in one of the absolute worst places anyone could be in a country full of people who want to kill her - afganistan. it scares the hell out of me. her most recent FB status update was simply: "this sucks". obviously, i am often upset by and disgusted with the serious disconnect that so many people have with the military. as my wise mother pointed out - people do not take the time to familiarize themselves with an aspect of life taht does not relate to them. this is so true. in my mind, i need to cut everyone a lot more slack than i do. just because something is so important to me does not mean that it should be important to everyone else. *sigh* i'm not sure if this train of thought makes me a selfish or self-less person by wanting everyone else to share my enthusiasm for the military life; but i suspect that considering the fact that i even have to ponder that distinction makes it a selfish thought. perhaps i should try to use this space as it was intended - a place to share these random thoughts and less of a place to preach them. alas, i am "a crazy pregnant lady" (as i was called a number of times in the past couple of weeks). i can only hope that this will pass and i can once again reel in my tounge because quite frankly, pregnancy makes me mean.
our 2 weeks in wichita were passed beautifully. there was much time spent in pjs and taking naps. i have developed such an appreciation for charles' family - they are so awesome! they are all so loving and accepting, the more time i spend with them the more grateful i am for their love in my life and they show me so much about the type of person i should be more often than i am. (follow that?) it's much easier to be judgemental, but brings so much more happiness to just love unconditionally. and for the sake of fair representation - we had a lovely time with my parents also. they both enjoyed "belly watch 2011" and got to participate in belly karate practice. we missed cameron terribly. he was in washington with his wife and her daughter, so he probably wasn't really missing us much though. i did get a "happy new years chunks" text and a brief text-versation ensued during which he addressed me as "pregnosaurus", which was pretty awesome. but we hope to see him in september for the air show. the rotation seems to be about 3 days together every 2 years. as my own little family becomes more present in my life, i find myself missing the rest of my family even more. but anyway, once i download the pictures i took over break from my camera i will try to give a more comprehensive account of our activities for the last couple of weeks.
