Bloggy shout outs

I've been neglecting both my blog and commenting on all of you, but I still read through my RSS. That thing has the ability to condense all of my surfing to one area, but I find I'm a lot less likely to comment when I use it. I just want you all to know that I'm still here, I still read! I'm sure I'll miss a few who are just as important, but I wanted to send some shout outs to my frequent bloggy stops.

[More:]

Dena, I just caught up and realized I was so behind because you aren't on my RSS. :doh: Fixing that now ... The kiddos are precious and getting so very big! I hope you find some resolution to your current situation. :sneakyhug I'll be thinking of you.

Melissa, ditto the above - not on the RSS! :doh: Fixing, again. I hope Tay's progress continues in this positive direction and little Rowan heals quickly! If anyone can help Taysen you guys can; he's so lucky to have you two as parents. :super

Rowan, CONGRATS on the surgery! I hope you heal quickly and can enjoy the new pain free and even more fabulous you! :primp

Kay, I'm still waiting on photos and an update! :wait: :whistle

Jodi, good luck with the caffeine quit quest. You're a braver woman than I! :thud:

Tonya, yours is one of my favorite reads. We're at such different stages in our lives yet I see so much in you that I am or want to be some day. You always make me laugh and your words as a parent give me warm fuzzies and hopes for the kind of mother I hope to be when I finally get to scratch that pesky itch.

ASW, you inspire me. You make me think. You are a wonderfully strong yet real example of a military wife, mother, woman. Thank you for being you, for sharing it with us. As you settle into this new path, I hope things settle down for you and you find your own niche. :hug

wifeunit, you always make me laugh. I'm eager to read each new entry and see new photos of your adorable little man! He's growing so quickly!

Val, I hope the sickies stay away and the crazies stay manageable! I hope shore duty comes quickly and you and your little ones get to thoroughly enjoy your husband for a while. :hug

Marine Wife, I don't envy your move and am secretly in denial about our own rapidly approaching move! I hope things go smoothly and you can put the puzzle together in a way that suits you. :chugachoo I know you'll do a beautiful job.

Susan, I love reading your entries. Your three Es crack me up and hearing about you and Stuntman enjoying the days together always makes me smile! Congratulations on the one year blogging mark!

Slightly Salty, I so enjoy reading about the love you and Obi-Wan share. It's so familiar sometimes, so inspiring other times. Thanks for sharing. I hope the next career step goes smoothly!

Butterfly Wife, I hope your travels go smoothly, the house sells quickly, and you enjoy every single second with Jack! You'll get done with the list eventually, I promise. :sneakyhug

Sarah, your entries are always devoured by me. You inspire me and make me think, laugh, cry, hope, and everything in between. I know things have sucked lately, but I hope they continue to get better day by day. Keep your humor and your love close by, they'll get you through. :hug

Ann, I hope you've recovered from your trip and the orders turn out well for you! I love hearing how things are going in your life and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your little one! Give TobyCat and CharlieDog a scratch for me!

Sarah, quite simply, you kick butt. You make me wanna go run a marathon or something! :)) Between your humor and CrossFit, I can't get enough. Thanks for sharing and good luck finding your way out of the little slump you think you're in. :sneakyhug :secret Oh, where can I get a pair of those shoes? :primp

Everyone else, thanks for reading. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for being so darn wonderful, because I just know you are! :sneakyhug Please feel free to comment and smack me upside the head to remind me to add you to my RSS reader.

I'm off to snuggle with the husband and get some sleep!

:-) you're so sweet, thanks for the comment! In answer to your question, you can get these shoes at Dillards. The brand is called Giani Bini and I live by them. 3 inch heels I could run in? Yes, please! They were about $90 a pair but incredibly comfortable and worth every penny. I've had them since March and I am convinced I've already worn their monetary value! Glad you're laughing at me because I laugh at myself just about every day, and I'm just glad I can share.

I wish I was going to be at Benning the same time. Mark is thinking of going to the Marine Warfare subs sea blah blah blah course out of Virginia. Still not sure how we army folk will pull that off but Georgia is just Texas with peaches, so no thanks. Rather go somewhere new and interesting.

Stephanie,
I totally understand about keeping up with the blogs. I've neglected my reading and writing as well since Stuntman returned home.
Enjoy your time, and I'll check in!

Awww!! You're so sweet!! You made me cry!

I'm glad you're enjoying all the random stuff that comes out of my head. I'm such a bad judge of myself as a mommy so your words are very reassuring.

I love reading about your time, your blissful time, with Charlie. I look forward to that bliss with my soldier too!

Thank you for being sweet, wonderful you!! I'll be reading! :hug

Thanks for thinking of me. I feel extra special being listed 1st :blowkiss:

I wanted to let you know that I read/check for updates everyday even if I'm not commenting.

Sometimes I don't comment because the only thing that I can offer is "big hugs" "I wish I could make you feel better" but who needs an over abundance of that crap when all you really want are other people that are in your same situation to say I understand so you don't feel like you're going crazy. Too much therapy ya think? :crazy:

to you to Steph....you are always on my mind....even when you were off enjoying Europe....I know this move will go well and even though I know the feeling of impending deployments, you really rose up to the challenge your first time out and you have shown that you have what it takes. You ARE one hell of a Marine wife, I'm proud of you and although we never know what this life will bring us, hold on to the things you have discovered on your own as well as what we, those that came before have been able to share with you, and you will continue to grow into more then you ever dreamed possible.....hell I'm already impressed!

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them more then you know.

You sound like me. I get so wrapped in other stuff, I don't always have a chance to visit my fav sites (one of which is you).

Enjoy the rest of your summer and I hope your PCS goes smoothly!
