I am so stressed out. We leave Germany in 2 months, and we still don't have our orders. We can't do much without them. Can't arrange for the movers to come get our stuff. Can't get housing at Moody to put us on the housing list. Can't have the inspectors come and inspect the house so they can tell us what we need to do to pass our final inspection etc...
This is causing me to lose sleep, I have to force myself to eat. My stomach is in knots, and I feel like everything is spinning out of control. I am not getting to sleep until 5 am, and then it is a light sleep where every little thing wakes me up.
I am short tempered, and grumpy to say the least.
I just want to rant, rave and throw things. There are parts of military life that I can't stand. This is one of those parts.
Ok I am off to take my meds,tuck the kids in,and spend the night tossing and turning in bed.
Have a good day all.
Hugs,



take heart in knowing that these things are not permanent. i mean to say that eventually everything will work out. i know this sounds shallow and trite but it helps me sometimes just to say "tommorrow will be better" and " this too shall pass" its very hard to cope sometimes when your BP. just know you have somewhere to go to let it all out! thats here with us.
i hope your move runs smoothly from now on! if not, take a valium and let others do all the worrying !
good luck

Hi Valerie,
I have thought of taking a Valium and letting things slide. It was quite funny you should say that. LOL
I am a planner and a perfectionist to a fault. This is messing up my plans,and I don't deal well with mess. Not just that, but I have been wanting to leave Germany since we got here. Now, I can't go until everything is done. I was hoping to go home in June. Now, it looks more like mid July. *Frustrating*
How are you doing?
Take care.
Hugs,
Today, feeling pretty good, im hoping that it stays that way at least until the afternoon lol. today i see my tdoc so i dont know what this afternoon may bring! was pretty active all last week, sometimes mania helps. (when ur having fun) did some spring cleaning moving about 1000 miles per hour! DH sure appreciated that! then monday i crashed :( so im in recovery now today is a good day, like my mom used to say "claim it!)
thanks for asking. I hope your day goes smoothly and all your problems be left in Germany forever!

Hey Cyn!
Hi Roma,
Nice to hear from you again. :) I am sorry to hear that I am not getting your e-mails. My address is Riksgoddess@msn.com or if for some reason that doesn't work you can e-mail me at CLA3A@yahoo.com
Here is the link to the RA board: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhrheum?redirCnt=1
That is the link that I use and I haven't had any problems with it.
How have you been doing? I hope all is well with you. My DH and I sat down and did some serious brainstorming a bit ago, and I just can't let this get to me. I have to let some of it slide, or it will put me back into the hospital.
So, for now I am just going to ride this out,and try not to get too worked up over it. I hope to talk with you more. Missed ya.
Take care.
Love and hugs,
Hi Missy,
I am sorry to hear that you are starting to have problems moving too. It is stressful, no matter how well it goes. I hope your move gets a little smoother.
Take care.
Hugs,
Cyn
Hi, Cyn! Any updates in the last few days?
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Boy do people hate those squeaky wheels...at least, my squadron always did. Just bug Rik's first shirt to help you if TMO won't. (They're jerks anyway!! Oh, and watch those movers. If you don't speak German, it can get pretty bad packing stuff up. We had a horrible time communicating. "Rent" a friend who knows German to help. Can save you plenty of money. In our case, $70 for an attempted pick-up because we don't speak German, they didn't speak English, and they left without picking anything up.) Anyway... Just my bitterness taking over. Seriously, though. If you're not getting results at the MPF (often frustrating for a spouse!!), or TMO (they're jerks if you're military or if you're not...they don't care), then bug his first shirt to help you. That's what they're there for. And no, you're not going to bug him too much. It's his job. (I always worry about bugging people too much when I need their help. Does that ever get to you?)
Anyway. Good luck with it all! Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers, and I wish I could be there to march into that office and start saying what's what. (My kind of thing to do when I'm manic and mad.) Take care!
...Days til we meet Zoe!

Hi Aislinn,
I know that Rick is talking to the shirt. If he is getting anywhere I am not sure.
I will have to ask him when he gets home tonight. So far though, it isn't going as well as I had hoped. About the packers, we have been lucky with our movers. They have had at least one guy that speaks English. I am hoping that our luck holds out. We have been moved twice since we have been here.
Rick wants me to leave early and have him deal with all of the outprocessing appointments, the pre, and final housing inspections and dealing with the movers. I just don't think it is fair to leave him to handle it all. So, I am staying until everything is done. How are you doing? Aside from PCS stress, I am hanging in there. Not sleeping at night, even though my Pdoc put me on Ambien.
Other than all of that, it is just the normal every day stresses around here.
Take care. Thanks for the advice. :)
Love and hugs,
