Profile Information

About me:
Hey - yep, still me - just took my last name off to protect the innocent (or to be truthful - I hate my last name - same as my ex's)!!
I am a divorced Mom with two boys. I have one still living at home, Cleve. He just recently graduated college and has a good job. He is saving for his own house. My younger son, Derek, graduated from boot camp on February 15. He is now a MA and stationed in Kuwait. I live in Southeast Texas. I am a high school algebra teacher.
My child's first name:
Derek
My son/daughter is:
Enlisted, Overseas
I was the proudest of my child when:
When I see him accomplish something that he has dreamed of doing. When he steps out on his own and does what he thinks is best, not what everyone around him is doing.
When my son/daughter first spoke about joining the service I:
Was concerned or afraid, Needed to learn more about it, Was proud
As a new Navy mom, the most important thing I learned was:
Encourage other people to keep in contact with your child. My son appreciated letters from everyone - not just his friends and relatives.
My son/daughter is currently in the service or retired, and now I believe:
Our relationship has grown stronger, This was a maturing experience, The Navy has a lot to offer

Cousin in Iraq - Scott's Birthday!!

Hey guys!! Today was my (distant) cousin's birthday who is in Iraq. I asked y'all to send him a card and got MANY responses!! I hope I got his address to everyone who asked. (Gustav and Ike did not help much). I did not tell his mom what kind of response I was getting on here - I wanted them to be surprised. Well, his mom emailed me today and here is her reply: Scott called on Sunday, he said Mom what have you done?" He said he has received at least 50 birthday cards. I told him it was just… Continue

Glad to hear Derek will be getting off the plats. Looks HOT. Feel free to send Joe's note on to Derek. Especially, the part about how I will treasure it forever. Joe was so happy I know someone, who knows someone in the education department down on the base who can help him start up his college courses. Funny, how the idea of helping him get back into school prompted him to say I was the best Mom ever. That sure wouldn't have happened before the Navy. I will be sure to remind him from time to time that people (Moms) need to hear how people (sons) feel about them. Especially, the kind feelings.

I am slowly recovering but it seems to be taking it's time in leaving. I've been home sick for three day. Going in today. I am the only on in my family and at work who has been sick! Darn!!

Send me a text to remind me about the Starbucks cup this weekend. I should buy a GPS thingy if I can figure it out. Only Kimberly knows where all the starbucks in the United States are, and she is busy. I want to be there around Thanksgiving to see my parents in Newport News around the week of Thanksgiving for my dad's birthday and their anniversary. I am sure that I would fly. Southwest has a direct flight to Norfolk. I think that I would prefer to fly because I have so little time. Also, with the cost of gas and traffic tickets it may be cheaper. Smile LOL

Hi Brenda:
New pictures!! He's so handsome! How's he liking his job?

I read your post on LynnDears page. 7 weeks till Thanksgiving. How many days off do you get? I just don't know what to do! I need counseling!! Does Derek know yet if he'll be in VA for Thanksgiving? There are to many variables (I had to say that to you). :)

My daughter is coming home for Christmas for a week so I've got that planned out.

Matt got to Norfolk on Monday. He's cleaning offices during the day. No word on how long till he flys out.

All of Joyce's tupperware is sitting on my table. I did wash it tho. We need to get together again. I MISS everyone!

Hey, there is a hurricane coming to Tucson! Norberto or something like that is heading for Gulf of California and is projected to come our way. I'm not holding my breath, but it's something to look forward to this weekend.

Did you get all your stuff done last Saturday? Did you relax on Sunday! I hope so. You are the busiest person I know. Where do you get the energy?
Texas woman must be tougher than the rest of us. :)

Brenda, I love the new pictures of Derek. Oh boy! You must be so proud. I am sneaking off this weekend to see Wade in GL. He has off for 4 days and asked ME to visit. I was going on Thanksgiving, but he is not sure that he has off. I haven't seen him since March, so this will be great. Let me know if you get off Thanksgiving.

I am sick. I need TLC. I am getting better but still have the sniffles. I need to be over this by parade time!!! It came on real quick Sunday evening and just knocked me off my feet. Nobody else in the house got sick.

Joe sent me today that said "mom, have i ever told you your the best mom ever. if not, your the best mom ever" incorrect spelling and all. I will treasure that for the rest of my days because, no, he has never told me that before. So that is making me feel slightly better.

Love the new pics of Derek. Did you have to swipe them from his myspace page? LOL
