meeting new people

I've been trying to meet up with some new people from post. I want to know more people here so that I can decide if I want to stay here, move to post, or go home when Tony deploys. There seem to be many people out here and I'm always finding people that live in the area. I have a play date set up with another mom with 4 boys on Thursday. And then another one I met said she wanted to get together and meet new people, but then when I message her about doing anything she doesn't seem to want to commit which is fine. However today when she responded she mentioned that she is looking for people to do an under 4 playdate with. I guess I understand, but that's weird. All boys cool, large families cool, but all little kids makes me wonder what people think of older kids. lol

Father's Day Weekend

I took a step back and let my hubby be in charge more than usual. I went to the dr and grocery shopping on friday, COMPLETELY ALONE. Tony picked up the kids and took them home. He put his grill together that we got him for father's day. Friday night we had a wonderful night as a family. We put up the pool, and grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, and zucchini. I made potato salad and we ate outside. Zayden said it was his best day ever. We just hung out there for a bit before we came in and shuffled everyone off to bed.
Saturday we got up and I made biscuits and gravy, packed our lunches and then we headed up to Seattle to the Museum of Flight. Using a special for military families got in for free. We spent several hours walking around looking at the airplanes plus they had a special thing going on outside with helicopters, and other emergency equipment that the kids could actually get in and touch. Zavier's favorite part was driving the firetruck. Then before we left we went in the old Air Force One plane from the 70's.
Sunday we just hung out at home, but I loved it because Tony didn't make it miserable for me. As in he didn't just sit and act like a king all day. I know that is part of the idea of Father's day, but the kids don't stop being kids for a day. I spent some time sewing and the kids and Tony spent some time playing DS.
Today is the big boys last day of school. They only have a half day so I will go here shortly to pick them up bring them home and feed them. Wanting to do either a beach or zoo trip this week to celebrate the end of year.

Can't decide

I just can't decide what I want to do for the boys for school next year. If I send them back to Ft. Stevens I will need to go in and have a meeting with the principal about the bitch from next door and not allowing her access to my children. I love them and want to spend more time with them, but how will I manage schooling 2 entertaining another and having a toddler running around. I know people do it all the time I could manage. I just hate that if I say anything to my mother or sister they will be negative about me keeping the kids at home. As if public schools are the best thing on earth. Tony doesn't ever seem to care about what I do with the kids and my local friends are like oh I can't teach my kids, they would drive me crazy. I also just don't know because we may or may not move and Tony won't help me decide about that either. I'm left to all these decisions and I don't know what to do. I wish I could find a local church to attend. I guess I just wish there was more to do here in Yelm so I didn't have to drive far. I'm sitting here thinking there wasn't much to do in Germany either, but I had tons of friends and I had church and PWOC.
I also have to drive to post to shop. I tried going back to walmart today for my grocery shopping, but everything was so much more money here than on post. I knew I would go broke if I did the shopping that I need to do.

Totally crushed me...

Tonight was the pizza party for Zachary's baseball team. The kids had pizza and then they did the awards. Well as the kids came up, one of the 2 assistant coaches would say something about each one. Now most of the comments were geared to be funny. Soandso was good at blah blah, and even though he didn't something he did this well. Zachary was about half way through and neither of them could come up with anything to say about him. I'm sorry he didn't always want to be there and he didn't always listen, but you can't think of anything to say. Are you fucking kidding me? They even talked about how some of the kids didn't listen or were bossy, but nothing about Zachary. One of them did wisper in his ear to keep his hand out of his pocket cause he often had his hand in his back pocket. I cried on the way home even though he wasn't with me because it really upset me. So glad the season is over and if he doesn't want to go with his team to the playoffs then I won't make him, they obviously don't value him on the team.
I was proud that in the last game he had 2 RBI's and he scored himself, so I guess in the end he wasn't the worst player.

11 days and counting...

Until school is out. Most people I talk to aren't excited to be having their kids home from school for the summer, but I have so much stuff lined up to do with the kids that I can't wait. I need to start planning dates and place to go. Since the military are getting free entry into many museums this summer and I can't wait to take advantage of that. We're also going to do some dry runs of homeschooling to see if I can handle it all day every day. If I could just find some preschool for Zavier we'd be good, but I guess if I don't then I'll just school him for preschool. However we will also practice lining up and doing similar activities on different levels to teach them new things.
This weekend little bitty Zayden turns 6. I'm so excited for him. Tonight Zachary and I were out picking up some things for his birthday and when we came home Zachary was like I'm just so excited. I just reminded him that we will celebrate Zayden for Zayden's birthday. The boys have baseball on Saturday and Sunday, but everything should be wrapped up by party time at 3:30 at the gymnastics center.

Annoying Neighbor strikes again...

So I dealt with her the other day. I said I would try to take care of the toys/socks/our stuff going over the fence. All I can do is remind the boys each time they go outside to keep our stuff in our yard. I will do my best, but she hasn't even given this time to work.
Today however I guess she felt the need to address this issue with my kindergarten child at school. She works at the school as a teacher's helper I think. She told him that because she has a dog over there and she doesn't want it to get sick that when toys come over the fence that she just has to throw them away because the dog chews on them. He was upset because she said she had to throw them away. However I am mad because I feel like she abused her privileges at the school to discuss something that shouldn't be discussed at school. I told her I was sorry and that I would take care of there was no need to bring it up with my child. And honestly he isn't the one throwing things over the fence, it would be my 4 year old.
I want to deal with this abuse of privileges with the school, but not sure if I should call, e-mail, or just go there. I don't deal well with confrontation, but I don't word things well when I'm mad. School is almost out, but they still have 2 full weeks plus a few days.
