Hi all! I haven't been around much, sorry.
First I went in May to HI (Mother's day, 1st half) and was beautiful! Now, I am from Florida and am used to heat and humidity. It was around 80 every day, not cold at night.

Bea, I love to cook, but with it being just me, it is a waste. Sometimes I get in the mood for a dessert and will take it to work (being diabetic, I try to limit my sweet intake).
Let me know if you are interested in a recipe for pumpkin chili. My...
Thank you, Sonar Chief! I spoke with my daughter yesterday and I could pop her! LOL She still doesn't feel deserving, and said she has two friends who are also up for it. She would rather see them get it. I spoke to a chief yesterday and he was te...

Profile Information
- About me:
- I am a single mother of two, both in the Navy. My daughter is a yeoman, stationed at Oahu, Hawaii (ain't life tough?). My son is an intelligence specialist aboard the USS Harry S. Truman. I also volunteer at the USO. It is my way to give back for all that has been done for my children.
I live in Pensacola, FL. My cats and dogs keep me company.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Child/Stepchild
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Enlisted
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud and encouraged it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- The moms on this site give great support and information! Whenver I have a question about the Navy, I can always get an informed answer. And, from my experiences, I am able to offer answers to others.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

- Dear Dawn,
Have not heard from you in such a long time. How is your Christopher doing? Has he adjusted to his "temporary" assignment? I'm sure he can't wait for the year to be up so he can get on with his IS work. Will he return to the school for refresher, update training or anything like that? At least now he will have another job and training to add to his resume. Please let us IS moms know how both your sailors are doing!
Hugs,
Mary

- The last 30 days has gone by fast. I had a couple of sales and I had to play a lot of golf (really, really stressful LOL). I had to get my rounds in or I would be kicked off the Half Moon Bay Women's Golf Club. In between, I am getting the house ready. Since I started on this campaign to get more N4M people into the Northern California Navy Moms group, I have met so many people on this site - some I'll met this Sunday and some next month and Sharon invited us to her son's homecoming party. Isn't that nice! One gentleman with insightful comments about his time as a sailor during the Vietnam War.

Paula S. said… - Thanks for your comment, Dawn... is it any wonder why society has the problems it does with parents who coddle their children and never allow them to grow up? I think so many of them have structured their lives to revolved around their children that they are simply lost when children do as they are destined to do... fly from the nest! Yet these are the same parents who whine and complain when their children are still living at home sponging off them when they are 30+ years old. Nice to know there are a few of us that think alike!

- Haven't heard of any adventures on the HI group from you in quite a while. Are you sick? or just busy with other stuff. How's Meaghan? My son is out on deployment - he won't be back to HI until late this year.

katie carroll said… - Sorry, just saw your thread. Deland Fl is in Central Fl. We are right in between Daytona Beach and Orlando. We will get out to see him. I am planning the end of his enlistment. It is another 2 yrs away. We have a 5 yr old and that makes it kind of tough. I figure he'll be 7 and alot easier to travel that distance with him. I have already started saving :) I don't get on this page very often but once in a while I get a few mins. Just went under my profile and saw your comment to me from months ago. really sorry about that.
