O Star (the fairest one in sight),We grant your loftiness the rightTo some obscurity of cloud --It will not do to say of night,Since dark is what brings out your light.Some mystery becomes the proud.But to be wholly taciturnIn your reserve is not allowed.
Say something to us we can learnBy heart and when alone repeat.Say something! And it says "I burn."But say with what degree of heat.Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.Use language we can comprehend.Tell us what elements you blend.
It gives us strangely little aid,But does tell something in the end.And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,Not even stooping from its sphere,It asks a little of us here.It asks of us a certain height,So when at times the mob is swayedTo carry praise or blame too far,We may choose something like a starTo stay our minds on and be staid.
We are all trying to adjust to the way things are now. I never imagined that my life would be so busy. I find I don't have time for much anymore, not a lot of free time now a days. Melanie turned 5 months old yesterday, she is doing very well. She does like to fuss in her sleep a bit, so my sleep has not been great. Morgan is doing well at school, she loves 2nd grade and has gotten great scores on all her tests so far. Dan seems to be doing well at the academy, I know he is under stress and busy all the time, so I try not to add to that at all. I just take one day at a time, I am sad that I won't be able to visit my family for thanksgiving. I was really looking forward to it. I do hope my mother will find away to come and visit me in IL for Christmas. That would be my perfect present this year.
So Dan is gone to NM now, it is hard to talk to him now because he is very busy working out and studying and does not have much time for either why he is there. I am tired a lot of the time and I am trying to get the kids on some sort of schedule. Morgan goes back to school on Friday and I am trying to find the time to get all the supplies she needs, the stores are out of a lot of what she needs. I just have to keep telling my self this situation is only for a few months.
Dan got the call for border patrol last week. We will be moving to Alpine TX sometime in January and he will be working out of the Marfa TX station. He will be leaving Aug 12th to go down there in process in before he goes to Artisia NM on the 18th of Aug for the academy. I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy that he is getting out of here and doing a job he will will really like, and happy he will be getting more money. I am sad he will be gone for 5 months. He will miss so much with Melanie. I will not have him around to help me out anymore.
The house is SLOWLY coming along, I have never seen slower wokers! I have no idea when it will all be done, hopefully soon. Morgan will be coming back home next week, and I am not sure I will have her room ready. I may have to share my bed, LOL.

I figured I should join the blogging community bandwagon since many other people I know are doing the same.

Update with me:
I have been having the worst stomach pain these last few weeks. It happens about an hour to two hours after I eat and lasts for 3 or so hours. I went to see a NP at FHN and she was not much help. They scheduled a scan and an ultrasound at the end of August for me. I don't think I can wait that long. I called my OB in Monroe, he was much more helpful and is getting an ultrasound for me early next week. Other than that busy at work and tyring to get everything packed up for the move to the NEW finished house, which is not ready yet and probably will not be for a week or more. We will be staying back at the Hotel until then starting Friday night.
Update with Dan:
He is still anxiously waiting for the call from the Border Patrol. They have really slowed down on calling people recently. I believe he is at day 97 now, and the longest wait time so far has been about 120 days. I know his day will come, and I am trying to prepare for that time. He will be gone for 5 months and I hope to be able to handle everything with out him.
Update with Morgan:
She is having a blast with Grandma and Grandpa in Oshkosh at the air show. I am going to see her this Saturday. We will be bringing CJ along as well. It will be Melanie's 1st air show! We will need to start back to school shopping when she gets back. I can't believe it is almost back to school time already.
Update with Melanie:
She is doing great! She sleeps well at night, and eats like a champ. She had a bit of a cold, but that seems to be doing better. We are doing half breastfeeding and half formula feeding. I am starting to feel a little better about needing to add formula, I really felt bad at 1st. Going back to work really decreased my milk supply. Melanie does not seem to notice the difference at all.
