If you go through Tricare, you'll need to call the Mental Health services phone line and get approved for so many sessions. Call Tricare and ask for the number and they will also transfer you. Find out who you want to see first and see if they are taking new patients and also take Tricare. Then, call Tricare and get it approved.
Or, use MilitaryOneSource and they'll find you a counselor who is taking new patients and get you approved to see them.
Yes. Just give Military One Source a call. Easy.
I would be worried of trusting someone my doctor tells me to go to. Maybe I am wrong, but for some reason that doesn't seem right to me.
I'm here! You know how life gets with military cut backs and a spouse overseas. I'm busy (and even bustier than normal), but I'm okay. I hate that I made some of you worry.
I'm sending out bunches of hugs and T/P for lots of you.
That was me.
Weird.
Did you use someone else's photobucket link? Some people have had similar issues because of that.
ETA: freaking iPad.
You mean you didn't do that? Bahahaha. This is like the chick on TB who had a penis in her sig all over again.
No, it was uploaded through TinyPic.
No, and I saw it earlier and didn't pay attention to who's it was and thought "that's really weird and super ugly" but I never thought to make sure it wasn't MINE.
1) My supervisor told me late last night that the diagnosis from the oncologist for her husband is stage 3 intestinal cancer. So of course I Googled and all that comes up is colon cancer. And my heart hurts so much for her if this is true because I know where things are going to go for them from here. I have this overwhelming need to spend the day at the cemetary, but I can't because I have to do her work, my work, and my co-worker's work that's out on maternity leave until the end of April.
2) In relation to 1, we are working on the assumption at the office that my supervisor will be out for at least a couple of months so I've spent the better part of the last two days trying to make a list of all the work we need to do for her, for the one out on maternity leave, and our own work so that we know what we're looking at but I think I've hit a stale mate with it. I know there's more, but I can't think of what I'm missing.
3) I'm exhausted but have so much crap going through my head that I can't sleep. I went to bed right after B did last night (8:30) because I was so freaking tired, but I still didn't go to sleep until after midnight.
4) I ended up exchanging my wedding dress for the same dress, just 3 sizes bigger. It was on sale this time so I got a refund of $100! YIPEE!

Hugs B. I know what it is to miss her while she is still right in front of you. If you need to talk you know how to get a hold of me. Hugs Hugs Hugs.
Yay! I'm glad your okay. And that babies are okay!
I don't mean that you're incapable of handling it all, but I'm beginning to think that your workplace may benefit from hiring some temporary personnel. One person can only handle so much. Even if it's just an assistant that you can delegate simple tasks to.
I definitly did this the first week H was gone on his most current TDY.

deleted *poof* for persec
I changed my name
Thanks, it just helps to know. Also, if we're talking about siggies; in reference to Brandie's siggy on snow I'm guilty as charged of status updates about snow because I have too many people who live far away from me and have no idea that there's snow outside my window.
I found out the person that I consider to be my "little sister" is engaged. It just happened and she is planning the wedding for May 19th. Which happens to be the same day as my cousins' which I'm in. They are in towns 45 minutes apart. And considering I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's there is no way on God's green earth that I can be in two places in once. I wish I could clone myself. Seriously.
And I have know idea why K is trying to have her wedding in 2 months other than maybe she is pregnant and wanting to be married before the baby comes. I'm to chicken to call and ask her, I'm waiting until her mom comes back from vacation so I can talk to her about it.
I haven't posted in a while, but I lurk all the time and I'm trying to jump back in.
I am having an extremely hard time lately because Tuesday is the one year anniversary of my moms death. I don't think I have let myself grieve over it because I have been so busy taking care of my younger brother and sister and my moms estate and of course Charlotte. I started counseling this week and I really hope it helps.
Hugs hugs hugs. I was just thinking today about it being close to the 2 year anniversary for my Mom and I knew you were going to be approaching the 1 year. I totally understand feeling like you didn't grieve the way you should have. Its taken me a while. I still think about going and talking to someone. I'm proud of you that you are. I want you to know that I'm here if you want to talk. You know where to find me on FB. Sending lots of hugs.
Agreed!
**((HUG))**
Also, can someone come over and keep me safe during this crazy wind? I'm freaking out over here!
LO is so far up my butt, I'm sure he hasn't seen daylight in days. I left him with his usual sitter this morning at 10:30am. When I got home at 2:30pm, he was still wearing his fleece jacket that I put on him before I left (he, the babysitter and Smudge were going on a walk). Poor punkin wouldn't take off his fleece until I got back. He ends up in the big bed most nights (and won't even go into his pack 'n play for naps, must be in the big bed with me). I know the move is hardnon him. He has said several times, "Moving away. Sad." I pray that my patience holds out. I hate that he is struggling. And I know it will get worse before it gets better.
Agreed with the hugs!
And Smiles we are in the same boat over here too! Its so windy and I hate it. Thankfully you don't hear it in our house but its so so cold.
It's hitting the screens on our windows and it's shaking up against the glass. Plus we have our grill out back and the grilling tools are banging up against the house. I'm too chicken to even step outside and bring them in. haha I'll make T do it soon.
I've heard that California/Utah and here have real bad wind storms happening. Anywhere else???
yes! Big big hugs.
You know you're on the verge of a $$$ business idea. Alcohol delivery just like Dominos does pizza. Well......$$$ minus the insane insurance premiums. I mean how often does it probably happen to people that they have one or two and they're too buzzed to drive, but not dangerously drunk either and want to keep partying. Or am I just crazy?
This!
If baby weren't sleeping and H gone, I'd totally go pick you up something and take it to you! I guess the night is young!
I most definitely wouldn't let you drive drunk.
