MnM is trying to find a COOL place so he doesn't MELT !!

[MoJo2001]

It is our friend!! You be safe! Hey! I expect pictures. (Although, when I was 8 months pregnant we drove from Houston to El Paso. It was the most awful experience of my life. I was asking why Texans didn't want to just give that part of Texas over. There's nothing out there!! LOL! Then we got to Blue Junction or Junction Blue, Texas and I realized I forgot my wallet in Houston. Hehehe!)

[MoJo2001]

Air conditioning is your friend M&M!! You can come stay at MoJo's house if you want. It's an Artic Blast in here! Hehehe!

Yep ! Just 2 months left of Summer though. August is our hottest month, too ! Whew !

[HiJinx]

Hmmmm....if I were sitting where you're sitting, I'd probably be looking out the window, too!!!

Instead, I'm at work waiting for a co-worker to get here so we can get stuff done...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Morning, darkwing, great to see you! You are so dashing in your darkwing outfit. Thanks for helping protect this great country of ours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am beyond late. If the internet is up and stays up at work, it is possible to stay up today. I'm still thinking about the plane. Be good!

[MoJo2001]

Actually, I'm looking at the computer screen. My window shows no let up of rain. The hubby's computer has vacation plans for Tahiti on it. (For someone else. Hello? The Sailor is slacking! He should never volunteer to help my brother while he's visiting one of my favorite places! UGH!) My tv is jamming with Toon Disney. My stereo is jamming with the next song in cue!! You'll probably laugh at the selection, but you know my musical tastes. So? It shouldn't surprise you!! LOL!

LEAVE IT
(Click on the hyperlink)
Yes

I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make real

One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back

No phone can take your place
Do you know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings

Ah leave it, ah leave it
Dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot
(You can absolutely annoy everyone in the car by doing this for 5 straight hours!
I know because I did it when I was 10 on our way to Florida!)

Two down there you go
McArthur Park in the driving snow
Uptown they're digging it out
Better lay your claim

Get home you're not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day

Ah leave it, ah leave it
Dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye bad
Leave it
Hello, hello, heaven
(repeat)

I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make real

Ah leave it, ah leave it

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye bad
Leave it
Hello, hello, heaven
(repeat)

One of MoJo's favorite songs! I know! I'm a retard! LOL!

8 Months? What were you thinking?

Oh right, I know exactly what you were thinking...we did the same thing from Phoenix to Junction City, Kansas (Ft. Riley).

You know, (and this is for everybody), that's one of the things that sets military families apart from everyone else. We were all youngsters just getting started in life, which means most of us were starting families. And when Uncle Sam says private (or seaman) so-and-so, it's time for you to move to El Paso (or Junction City, or Twenty-Nine Palms, or Virginia Beach, or Bangor)...well, you just do whatever it takes to pack up and go. And if you're 8 months pregnant with 2 kids under the age of 3...so what?

And this is the most amazing part! Even though they gripe about it, our wives are right there with us making it happen. It has been said that being an Military Wife is the toughest job in service...you'll never find me disagreeing with that. And MoJo, people like you and many I've pinged have my utmost respect and admiration for what you do to 'support our troops'. You are on the front lines, and you are awesome, and there just aren't enough words to give you the praise you're due...

Anyway, I'm done.
whew.

[MoJo2001]

I'm still thinking about the plane!

WOOHOO!! All the words before and after this sentence was like Blah! Blah! Blah! That's all I needed to know!! I wish you would not talk in code! LOL! *HUGS* Have a great day while I goof off at home for my final Thursday of doing that!

[Fawnn]

Good morning Troops, families, veterans, Israeli, British, Australian, Polish, and Italian allies (and everybody else).

Somehow that just feels like it should also include "and all the ships at sea."

[SevenofNine]

I'm just going to have to figure out how to get the rest of the family into that little luggage compartment thingie they have under the cockpit...

Hey Jinxie.....you could take a page out tomkow's book and pull the family behind the jet....But don't you wish we could just go this way?

[HiJinx]

Hmmmm...I was thinking Kathy was looking out the window instead of getting ready for work...

Rain, eh? Gotta love the summertime! I hope you have lots of stuff to keep the boys busy...or else you can send 'em out with raincoats and water guns!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Thank you!

[MoJo2001]

LOL! We were driving to Washington state. My doctor didn't think it was a good idea for me to fly. Yet, he thought it was a good idea for me to endure a trip from Quantico, Virginia to Silverdale, Washington in the car? Hello? LOL! Funny thing: We ended up driving back 3 years later from Washington to Virginia. Bobby was 3 years old and was an excellent traveling child. Timmy is a different story. Getting off the street is a miracle with him. LOL! I'm thinking this will get better. (I keep telling myself that!LOL!)

[beachn4fun]

patience....patience....
