The Good:
-I have two healthy, beautiful, funny children.
-I have an awesome husband. Who is also very good looking (perk). Who takes his job as the head of our household seriously. Who is funny and fun to be with. Who understands me. Usually.
-We live in a beautiful country and have opportunities to travel to amazing places.
-We have good friends and neighbors.
-Our dog has become a model citizen. For the most part. I actually like her...a little. :)
-We have a warm, cozy home. Well...cozy for German homes who don't really understand the meaning of carpet. Or wood.
-I'm finally getting my tooth implant finished in a month. I'm so sick of driving two hours away for dentist appointments. One more, and I'm DONE!
The Bad:
-Matt is being deployed, leaving Thursday, for two months. Bummer. BIG bummer.
-Every time my "time of the month" comes...I cry. I want a baby, and Matt leaving only makes that time table even further out.
-Our cruise that we schedualed in March to take us to Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt will have to be cancelled if Matt is still deployed. I was so excited about it.
-I gained 8 pounds when I was pregnant. I know, you're gasping that a girl can gain 8 lbs in 14 weeks. I get real big when I'm preggo. Well that 8 pounds...it won't leave. I gained a TON of weight with Hallie and Chase and after they were born it just came off. NOT happening this time. I step on the scale every day and let out a few choice words.
-I ate my feelings about Matt leaving last night in the form of a whole chocolate cake. No joke.
-I hate being alone. So so much. When I'm alone, and have no one to account to, I do the bare minimum and don't shower NEARLY often enough. haha.
-I have psoriasis. It has plagued me for most of my life, but I've been pretty good about keeping it under control. Well now I'm breaking out ON MY FACE. So pretty. Can't even tell you. The last few months I feel like I've been fighting a losing battle trying to keep it under control. Since I've been trying to get pregnant again, I can't use any of the "good stuff". The mediocre meds just don't seem to be cutting it. Banging my head against a wall at this point.
-My kindle, which has become an extension of my body, seems to be broken. It won't come out of "sleep" mode and I'm in the middle of reading Little Women. *sigh*. (Jan and Steve: the kindle was pretty much the best gift EVER.)
Enough depressing stuff. It's making me feel worse. By the way...we leave here a year from this coming April and have had only ONE set of friends come out to visit us. HELLO!! Free place to stay in GERMANY! You're going to miss out if you don't all get your buns in gear and get out here. USE us, I insist. :)

and that is a depressing list my friend. :(
few comments-
i ate a whole cake by myself two days ago and i don't have a deployment to blame.
we have been trying to plan a big vacation this year and have been in a huge debate on where to go, i guess i know now!
i'm really glad you're coming back, it feels like a hundred years ago!
really we'll be in touch about a visit...
I miss you so much Sara!! I really need a friend like you in my life. Yes things suck right now... but they won't always be bad. Life has ups and downs doesn't it? Scott and I are going to do everything in our power to come and visit you before you leave Germany. Love you! -Kellie Hales
From your medically thoughtful sister in law .... think only positive thoughts, think about all the goods and the blessings you have in your life and don't worry about the negatives ... there is always a reason/season for those things so need to even think about them... also ... go get some DOVE chocolate ... its fantastic I will eat a whole bag and I love the wrappers! So, all of that will make you happy .... my Rx for you :-) oh and I have eczema and it plagues me also ... lol
First of all, we would LOVE to use you and come to Germany. Dang hospital bills! Maybe we will run into some money before you leave. =) Just to let you know, I appreciate your complaining actually. I feel like I have had a pretty rough go at times and it is always nice to realize that I don't have it that bad. At least I don't have some of the things on other peoples "list". Sometimes the grass that is supposed to be greener actually is not at all I suppose. I think you should go to CA and to Oregon maybe while he is gone!=) Hope the time goes fast for you. Want to know my secret of how I lost some of my baby weight (finally, seriously)? Okay so it was only 5 lbs...but I got the stomach flu! Not the best way to do it but at least it is gone! Haha
Just wanted to say I seriously love you Sara. Through and through. You are the best. And I hope your kindle desides to wake up out of sleep mode. Sometimes I decide to just read my life away when I am in tuff times. Not necessarily the best thing...but it does happen.
yeah i think you should come back here while he is gone. that sux sooo bad about your cruise and about matt leaving and especially about your kindle! i got one for christmas and i think i would die if it broke!
Sorry to hear all of the things that you are going though. All my feelings went into my journal were nobody will ever know. I'm glad to hear all of the good things going on in your life and at least you can see the good. Your in my thoughts and prayers.Take care of yourself.

Hey Sara, I'm so sorry about the deployment. I was thinking of you last night when I couldn't sleep and hope you're doing ok with the transition. Believe it or not, I can completely relate. Justin's orders begin on Tuesday, but he'll be gone until late summer. :( I really hope Matt will be home in time for the cruise! Is his return date definite? Also, do you have any idea where you guys head to next? Best of luck, I'm thinking of you!
Sarah
So sorry about your bad things list! If it makes you feel better in an effort to rid myself of acne and melasma I have been getting chemical peels. And this latest one was a doozie! My face cracked so much I looked like a 90 year old woman and to make it worse now I have a cold sore that has made my lower lip 3 times the normal size! And I have Allies birthday party this weekend so everyone can laugh at me! I have never even had a cold sore!!!! uuggghhhh! My efforts to feel better about my appearance always seem to backfire. fun.
Hey I'll come visit if you don't mind one of your "blog stalkers" coming :) I am enjoying seeing all the places you've been to visit.
you're in cali??? come to reno! i'll give you a tank of gas and a twix if you do. i'm serious, come. also, how do i call you while you're there? i don't remember mimi's number.
