The Army is conspiring against me. Since we live in the thick of things here on post, I am awakened at an unearthly hour at least once a week by something Army related.
Last week it was people calling cadence. Loudly, out on the street in front of my house which is where my bedroom window faces. That I always find mildly amusing, as long as they’re good at it. There’s just something about hearing someone who can really call cadence, that call out and then the answer. I do believe there are regulations about not calling cadence near housing. When we lived here before you could always hear them yell to stop as they approached housing… and then you heard the shuffle of all those feet in unison.
This morning, I was blasted from my bed by the resident Army band. I knew a change of command was going on because I saw the tents go up a few days ago, but I didn’t know they were going to do it at 0745.
The joys of living on post. I’m going to find myself some coffee.
I’m impressed dutchkid lets you sleep till 07:45! I thought I was lucky to sleep till 6:50 this morning LOL!
I didn’t hear about your mom being sick. How is she? What’s wrong?
I always check your blog. It’s nice to feel a bit connected. I was really disappointed not to be able to come to your mom’s wedding–missing out on that and not seeing you. Hope things are going well over all. How’s potty training w/ dutchkid going? More wet panties. We tried a little bit last week and I think we’ll wait a bit to try again.
Oh don’t be impressed! she only sleeps that late when she’s goes to bed late too (like 9:30 late). We’re in a vicious cycle of long nap = late bedtime. She’s trying to stop napping, and so our schedule is all over the place. But at least the potty training is going much better, I think she’s finally got it (yahoo!), at least for daytime.
My mom is hopefully on the road to recovery… she just had a nasty run in with the flu on top of already being sick for several weeks. I don’t want to say too much more than that on the big bad internet. Missed you at the wedding, too!
DH tries to avoid living on bases (course with the CG, that’s not often an issue) for reasons such as these.
I hope your mom is feeling better!
