Holy Paper Walls!

Anyone who has ever lived in base housing knows that our walls are just paper thin!  So last night around 2:30 am my neighbors apparently get into a heated fight!  There are a lot of "fuck you"s from him and door slamming from what I assume was from both of them.  Everything of course at the top of their lungs as if neighbors don't exist! At one point at around 2:45 am I hear running up the stairs, more cursing, and suddenly a huge thump and tumble as if someone "fell" down the stairs.  My whole wall that connects to their house SHOOK!  OMG!  Crazy....My heart started pounding.  Fifteen minutes later all three emergency services show up: one ambulance, one fire truck and two police cars!  What the freaking hell happened?  Then you see the paramedics bring in a stretcher.  Oh hell, who is it for?  Apparently the wife.  Somehow they get her on the stretcher all the while she is yelling over and over again like a broken record, "GET OFF OF ME!"  This went on for about 5-10 minutes.  They take her away and the husband is left talking to the police.  I am assuming that they called because I sure didn't.  Keep in mind these people have two kids, one younger than my son and another in Junior High.  Where were they during all of this?  Earlier in the day they had been having a BBQ with some friends.  I saw, heard, and smelled it when I left my house to take my son to my parents house for the night (thank goodness for that!).  When I came back it was quiet and it seemed whatever festivities that were going on were done.  Then a few hours later all of that went down!  What a crazy night!  I was furiously texting Angie on our Words With Friends game documenting everything that was going on!  At the same time I was emailing Jason!  Let me tell you, when Jason picks up rank we are so out of base housing!  I don't like living next to the crazies!  Hahaha!  


I don't think my neighbors have ever lived in base housing so I can only assume that they are unaware of how much I can hear.  But honestly, even if our walls were thicker, everything that went down last night could have been heard regardless of wall thickness!  I am wondering if the people not connected to us could hear.  Not to mention she was screaming,"Get off of me!" outside where I am sure everyone could see and hear her!  Awkward!  Today I went to my garage around noon and I heard her (screaming at her kids or husband, not sure) and thought, "Oh, she's home now."  Now I have only met them once and they seemed pretty normal, but now I feel like I don't know if I should even say hi or anything next time I see them, and will probably make a conscious effort to avoid them.  I am assuming that they were drinking during the BBQ so I am dreading the next BBQ they have.  Yikes.  


PAPER WALLS, PEOPLE!  PAPER WALLS!

MIA and Jersey Shore

So I know that I have been MIA for like a few weeks now…OMG what a couple weeks it was.  Zackary was sick the second week of March for about 8 days!  Eight days of fevers!!!!  On day 5 he ends up with an ear infection.  Finally day nine he gets to go back to school!  Halleluiah! 

March 16, 2011 an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 shakes up Japan.  The third and seventh fleets begin Operation Tomodachi in an effort to supply aide to the people of Japan.  Jason is out there doing his part for the humanitarian efforts.  I am so proud of him and everyone out there.  The crews on the boats out there have even donated their own personal belongings to the displaced citizens of Japan in need of warm clothes and toiletries.  This is amazing to me because already the sailors are living on minimal items (whatever fits in their footlockers and racks) so to donate their things speaks volumes to their personal character.  I could not be a more proud Navy wife.  I am watching Facebook as all my friends from Japan post about their voluntary evacuations.  If we were still there, I would want to leave too. 

So Zackary has been doing really well at Tee Ball.  My little man is enjoying it so much!  He just took his Tee Ball little league pictures this past weekend and I CANNOT WAIT to see them!  He is just so stinking handsome.  Lucky for me he had a full set of teeth the day of the pictures.  The next night he lost his very first tooth!  OMG, what a sad day for Mommy!  That little tooth releasing itself from his body signaled to me that I do not have a baby anymore.  I know, as if kindergarten wasn’t enough of a signal.  But seriously, a baby tooth fell out!  That means that an adult tooth is on its way in!  ADULT???  No!  He’s FIVE!  Not fair.  I want my baby back!  I need another one!

He spends a lot of his weekends with my parents, who enjoy spending the time with him.  So much time was lost with them in the days that we were stationed in Lemoore and Japan, so now they play catch up and Zackary couldn’t be happier.  He loves spending time with them and definitely enjoys being the only grandchild and only boy in the family! 

This past Saturday Zackary’s friend Conner came for a sleep over.  He apparently taught Zackary all about Jersey Shore so Zackary came up to me later that night with just his jammie shorts on, flexed his little muscles, and shook his bottom while saying “Jersey Shore!”  OMG.  Is that my baby?  I asked where he learned that from and he points at Conner, who smiled in acknowledgement.  OMG.  I almost died.  Now, I watch the Jersey Shore, but never with Zackary awake or around to see or hear it.  So imagine my shock when that came out of his mouth????!!!!!!!!!!!!  Craziness.

So I am missing Jason terribly.  I know he’s out doing good things, but really I could really stand to have him home with me right now.  I love that man.  Time please fly, fly by fast!  I want him home!
