Should I stay or Should I go!

Okay so today I feel 100% like crap! Everything I eat comes out...I know gross but so aggravating as I've already went from 98lbs to 93. So the girls and I fly out monday around lunch. I'm trying everything today to feel better. I've taken a dose of children's sudafed b/c I cant swallow pills. I've put in a call to my nurse and my ENT. Still waiting to hear back from the ENT. I've done some research of prednisone that I'm suppose to be taking an hour before my flight.
Tomorrow I'm taking Katelyn to get her hair trimmed and find some other remedies to help me feel better. Sooo...I'm exhausted and I havent wanted to do anything today but lay around and eat and watch tv.
I'm trying to get my mind in gear onto what I need to do to get ready for this flight. Yeah, I'm stressing myself out it's ridiculous! I'm so excited about going but I'm so nervous at the same time. I'm taking a huge risk flying bc of my ear. So I'm waiting to hear back from the ENT to see if I'm still sick by Saturday should I stay or should I go! Hmm....

Our NY Experience Thus Far

It has been over a month since I wrote. I've had a lot going on. Right now, me and the girls are sick and trying to get well fast!

I got my first NY ticket. I got caught speeding and didnt even get a warning. Needless to say my fine by itself was $200 and then they added an extra $85 for a "surcharge" which turns into a community fee. So yeah NY sucks butt big time! Their laws are ridiculous up here. Everything is so expensive! I would definitely recommend VISITING but not living here. It's insane! They dont have Chick-fil-a, Zaxby's, DQ, Sonny's and Hardee's. It sucks! The girls and I are suppose to fly back to GA next monday through Sunday and I told Scott that I was going to Chick-fil-a and getting a bunch of chicken and packing it in my suitcase and bringing it back lol! We so miss just driving to see family and now we dont get that chance. It has been really hard and I didnt realize how much I took all of that for granted until we moved. Now I would do anything just to even move to SC that way we would still be close to family. But we even tried that bc we didnt really want to move up here.

Now granted this has been a good experience but I'm tired of it now. Gotta think positive!!!

So the girls and I are flying back home next wk for a wk and I'm very excited to see home and family but at the same time I'm nervous and sad because I have to go and fly with two precious little ones that have never flown before and without my husband. There is no telling when we will get to go home again because flights are soo expensive. We're hoping next tax return. There is no telling. But anyways that is our life as of right now. Everything is well. Oh and I cut my hair off! I hate it!!! I look ridiculous!! I plan on growing it out and NEVER cutting it again lol!!!

Wow! What a month!

Okay so I last talked about the vacuum that I was getting and about Heather coming to live with us. Shortly after that my laptop broke and had to be sent off for repairs. Best Buy is the place and I rather not reccommend them to anyone if I can help it.
Today is a whole new day for me. I'm starting some changes to better me and my family. First but not most important is I have started wearing my new hearing aids this morning and I can actually hear but they are sooo uncomfortable. Second, I am going to find me a counselor to start going to up here once I take my little one to speech. Oh yeah, thats something a lot of you dont know. Melody goes to speech now. She is doing really good and catching on really fast. Than I've got to find me a PCM (primary care manager) and then last I've got to find a sitter. Lot to do today but I'm on a roll since I've been up since 4:30 this morning.
On another note, I havent been myself lately and there is a lot going on that I've got to get taken care of or I'm afraid I will lose everyone.

Ahhh....

Ahh....So some changes are about to happen in the Rogerson household. Can you believe that I'm sooo EXCITED about getting a brand new vacuum?!!! I've been needing a new vacuum for a pretty good while now and my little shark isnt really made for the carpet but great on our wood and tile floors. So we've just been researching and budgeting and what not on what we would like and what will last. I DO NOT want to buy another vacuum for a long time so it needs to be good. So after doing some research, we figured it was between a Kirby, Dyson and Oreck. The Kirby was out of the question because number one in order to buy one, you had to have a saleman come to the house and try to sale you one..no thanks and number two, the price. Scott nor me are ready to spend that much money on just a vacuum. The Dyson was a bit on the higher price side to and after doing research we found that there were a lot of mixed reviews. So, while we were in Target yesterday doing our first of the month shopping, we saw that they had the Oreck on sale and I must say a pretty good sale to us. So Scott and I decided that we would go home and think about it. Well this morning, I looked it up online and read reviews. It got 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. I must say thats really good in my book. All the reviews that I read were really positive and the owners seemed really happy and satisfied with their purchase. I have faith that the Oreck will do the trick. Now, I just have to let Scott know that is the one that I want and lets go get it..lol.

Okay back on the Rogerson household changes. Nope I'm sorry, we are not pregnant. We have actually decided no more kids. Our 2 beautiful princesses are plenty for us. :) We have Scott's younger sister, Heather coming to live with us for a short period of time and then she will get her own place. I actually go get her around 1 am tomorrow morning. I've been up since before 5am and I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to last. :/ But....we are excited and nervous at the same time. I really do think Heather will bring some good to our family. Like getting us back into church, which I miss and I need and just having family around us again; which we all really miss badly. :( I think she will be a good fit for our family. :)

Snow and Bread

Okay so lately I've been getting really excited about snow. It's so pretty and I feel that since we live in the north, there should be a lot more of it..lol. But there isnt. Yesterday Scott got home and we ran some errands. While we were out, you could actually see grass. :/ We got back home and I started baking then all of a sudden we hear the girls screaming that it's snowing outside!! YAY RIGHT?! It snowed hard for about 10 minutes. BUMMER!!

So back to the baking part, I've been on a "I'm going to conquer the bread a thon" lately. I'm not sure about anyone else but Golden Corral's yeast rolls are the best! When we go there I cant seem to get enough! So I made an imitation of them yesterday and after a long evening, they came out!! I didnt burn them and everytime they would rise, I would get so excited! You would have thought the girls learned to read or I got a new SUV! I was so happy! So I finally conquered the rolls baking. They need to be a little more moist but they turned out perfect since I've been trying out the bread/rolls baking atleast 3 times now. I've been bound and determined I'm going to back my own bread and rolls. Save money on bread since up here it's not cheap. Now it's time to conquer the actual bread. Eventually... :)

The girls are growing up so fast and becoming very independent which makes me a little sad. They will always be our babies and if I could stop them from growing I would. They are doing good. I think we're going to get outside and have some fun today. I've got to get my chores done first!! :)

A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

Just another day in the north. This morning I woke up to melted snow. So not what I wanted to wake up to believe it or not. I get excited waking up and opening up all of my window coverings and seeing it snow. We're in the north, I can expect it. :)

So it's been a while since I've blogged because I've been doing so much and taking care of doctors and what not. But I'm slowly getting my house the way that I want it and the kids are doing wonderful. Scott and I are great. I think I fall in love with him a little more every day. Soon will be our 6 year anniversary and I couldnt be any more happier. I'm excited. We celebrate Valentines Day and Anniversary together since they are only 6 days a part.

Scott starts actually working this saturday. He will be on day shift for 7 days and then 2 days off before starting another shift. It sucks because we only have one car. Hopefully his car will be running again soon. I think I need to start playing the lottery so we can become rich...lol...thats what Scott has always told me anyways and I always fail. Anyways everyone is doing wonderful and everything is great!

Oh one more little piece I would like to add. Recently there has been some deaths. A girl from back home died in a car accident and she has a little girl. This past saturday night, two guys from Scott's old boat but on the opposite crew were in a really bad car accident. One passed away right then and there and the other is in critical condition.

It really makes me think. I've always been afraid of death but more importantly something happening to me or Scott and leaving behind our babies. I cant even imagine how my girls would feel. It tears be apart to think about it. To think about how quickly our lives can be taken away in a blink of an eye. I've always been go, go, go and how fast can I get something done and rushing and Scott has been the relaxed, go with the flow person. I think it's time that we start just relaxing and enjoying life and have fun.

When Scott and I got married, I was always about money and how I needed to get a job to help out because I didnt feel like I was inputting anything. Well we had two beautiful babies and I clean house, do laundry, cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, pick up after everyone, including the cat. But I wouldnt change my life for anything. I absolutely love it and my MIL helped me realize that I do a whole lot and I'm finally content with that.

Now I'm not saying I dont ever want to work. I actually have plans for next fall to start college to become a dental assistant. Our kids come first. So now I'm off to play with the girls and do some more decorating to the house to make it feel more like a home. :)

New Life=New Start

WOW! We are finally at our new navy station. Ballston Spa, New York but we currently live in Corinth. This atmosphere is a completely new territory for me and the girls. Scott has been up here once to march in the Macy's parade back in highschool with his band but it's still new to him. I'm finally able to catch up on everything while enjoying some Haagen-Dazs strawberry sorbet. :) I feel like I'm starting over but too far from home. I'm still in shock and I'm sure Scott is to that we're even up here. It seems so unreal to us.

On the upside of things, we have a beautiful temporary home. It's big and nice. So much closet space and it has a basement. There are so many best parts of this house to me that it's not even funny. I have a WALK IN PANTRY...which if you know our last house, it didnt have a pantry at all; we also have a laundry facility...which is awesome to me because I can know when the laundry is done and I dont have to walk out into the garage and freeze to do laundry; closets..lots of closet space; and a hidden trash can!! I've always wanted one of those. Scott and I actually have a master bathroom. Double sink, garden tub, separate shower and lots of storage. The girls have a nice size bathroom which makes me happy because they have room for their stuff. I got the house I wanted and I hope this makes us feel more at home even though we're so far away.

We will get used to this northern life and it will become second nature to us....eventually. The snow has come and gone already and will come again. Scott starts work soon and I pray that goes smoothly for him. We shall see and I will keep everyone updated as our new adventure continues. Night, night all.
