My husband deploys a lot, so I'm a married single parent. I am called “mommy” or “honey” so much one of these days I'm going to forget my own name. I blog about daily life, funny things my kids do, my husbands deployments and anything that comes to mind.

The day we arrived, we were welcomed to the island with pouring rain. So, on the drive from the airport to the base I didn't get much of a view. But the next morning we were all awake early (jet-lag sucks) and decided to go to breakfast off base. The sun was shining and I got to see some of the beautiful mountains first hand, and the ocean of course! A whole year, and I am still in awe of the mountains here, there just amazing and so different from the Rocky Mountains I grew up with! It doesn't seem like we have been here that long...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is our 3rd and Definitely by far our best duty station yet!!! 3rd times a charm for us! &lt;br /&gt;
It can be tough (exiting, stressful, interesting, crazy) moving every 3 years. We not only move to a new house, but a new, city, state, time zone. Island, in this case.&lt;br /&gt;
My family moved every few years growing up, so I guess I'm kinda used to it. Although we were always in the same general location of Colorado. The longest I ever remember staying in one place was when I was 14-19 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have yet to do a lot of the "touristy" stuff. But Hubby has been gone for over half the time we have been here and I want to do things together as a family. Plus, I didn't want to do all the tourist stuff right away anyway, I had wanted to spread it out over the 3 years that were here. Also, I figure whenever my family comes out to visit they will want to do that kind of stuff, then I will be seeing it for the first time along with them! Makes it more fun for me!&lt;br /&gt;

That I would learn to ignore the rumors (or that my husband would stop telling me the rumors). But after all this time, its still drives me crazy... I have however learned to take any rumors with a grain of salt...&lt;br /&gt;
This 7th deployment is finally coming to a close (eventually). Not that I have any idea of the exact day my husband will be home. The rumors keep flying and info keeps changing. There given a "window" of dates when they will be back which keeps changing from two different possibilities... Its very annoying and always drives me crazy.... Is is too much to ask them to just tell me the day my husband will be home? The "higher-up" always seem to make a decision, tell everyone what it is, then change it a few weeks later, UGH!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the kids, I learned early on not to tell our daughter ANYTHING as to when Daddy will get back until I know with ABSOLUTE certainty. Like, when were driving to pick him up... Which I have done that, its fun to surprise her! She doesn't have a greatest concept of time anyway. I do tell her the month or general time frame in which he will be back. With our son, he's too little to understand so I dont tell him anything until we are getting in the car to go get Daddy. &lt;br /&gt;

I was giving my son a bath this afternoon and he was staring at the appendage between his legs... Out of nowhere he says "OH, OH, its a Bumblebee, its gonna get me!!"&lt;br /&gt;
I started laughing so hard... My daughter heard me from her bedroom and of course asks "Why are you laughing, whats so funny?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a little cold in the bathroom and so "it" looked a little different to him than it usually does which is I think what caught his attention... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a Dinosaur, now a Bumblebee...&lt;br /&gt;
One day several months ago I was changing his diaper and our of nowhere he says "Rrrooaaarrrrrr, Dinosaur Pee-pee!!!!" &lt;br /&gt;

The primary problem is, it just doesn't bother her to sit in wet underwear. She has made it the habit to pee a little bit in her underwear, then decide to go to the bathroom (if even then). It's to the point that her undies almost never stay dry all day. Also she wont change her wet clothes on her own, she has to be told, and since she usually only pees a little, its not obvious that she is wet by just looking at her bottom. If I ask her if she is wet, she wont tell me the truth if she is...&lt;br /&gt;
We have tried a watch with a timer which she uses at school (whenever the timer goes off she goes to the bathroom). At home, I have had the timer set to go off anywhere from every 20 minutes to 2 hours. Nothing seems to be full proof.&lt;br /&gt;
I have seen potty alarms and such online before and finally decided to  try one. (By the way, this is not a paid post, I am not getting anything  for writing this, which is why there is not direct link to the  product). What I wanted is something that has a sensor on the underwear that will detect even a little bit of moisture and set off an alarm. This way, I know and she knows that she is starting to pee in her underwear and I can make her go to the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;
These type of alarms are meant to help bed-wetters (which is also a problem, she wears pull-ups at night, for now, one goal at a time). Most of the alarms I saw only had one little clip that attached to underwear in one little spot and there were wires attaching the sensor to the alarm. That wont work for us, it had to be something that she could wear all day comfortably and an alarm that I would be sure to hear because it would be near me instead of near her where she could turn it off without me knowing.&lt;br /&gt;
I found one! It has "special" underwear that have sensors running through them (that feel like an extra seem in the cloth, there still soft), there wireless and the alarm plugs in wherever I need it to be. &lt;br /&gt;
Princess has been wearing them for one week now and there working GREAT!! She is staying dry all day long and I know this for a Fact! She gets praise and rewards for staying dry and she is exited to be doing well!!! In case your wondering, the product I got is the Rodger Wireless Bedwetting Alarm System. It is somewhat expensive, but to me, its well worth it.&lt;br /&gt;

Its finally down to a number of weeks until Hubby gets home (due to his deployment getting cut short)!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have spent the last week trying to arrange a quick weekend trip for just myself to go home for a wedding next month. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it but Hubby and I worked it out. We cant afford for all of us to go and Hubby cant take off work. So Ill be leaving on a Friday evening and returning Sunday evening. QUICK. But better quick than not at all. It will be kinda weird being kid-free for a weekend... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those are just the minor things on my brain right now... There is something else as well, but I'm not ready to mention it yet...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also I really need to start potty training Bobo, I've been talking about it for weeks and I just keep putting it off. I'm just not looking forward to the process, I only hope he is easier than Princess was...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On another note, I am currently re-reading (for the second time) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Part 1 of the movie comes out in November (I embedded the trailer at the bottom of my blog)!!! Its been quite a while since I read it and there is so much in the book, that I needed to read it again before I see the move! &lt;br /&gt;

When I went to buy our postcards there was a great selection to choose from and there was no way I could pick just one so I just started grabbing one of each and counting until I had 51 (got extra just in case). I only have a few that are the same. When I went to check out, the girl at the register was not too happy with me because she had to scan each postcard individually... &lt;br /&gt;
The postcard above is my favorite. We have lived here almost a year now and I am still in awe with the mountains. There just so amazing and beautiful. Here are some more of the postcards we sent off:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: right; width: 480px;"&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="rssFeed=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed107.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm292%2FPatriciaG79%2FHawaii%2520Postcards%2Ffeed.rss" height="360" src="http://static.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/redirect/album?showShareLB=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.pbsrc.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif" style="border: medium none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m292/PatriciaG79/Hawaii%20Postcards/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.pbsrc.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif" style="border: medium none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I wanted "Fun Facts" to write on our postcards, so, I turned to Google! I only wish I had more room to write.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our postcard message:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The Aloha State"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;"Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959. There are 8 major islands.&amp;nbsp; Haleakala Crater (Ha-lay-ah-ja-lah) on Maui is the world's largest dormant Volcano and Kilauea Volcano on The Big Island is the world's most active. Hawaii is the only U.S. state that grows coffee. Aloha!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More Fun Facts:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-Hawaii is the only U.S. state whose land area is increasing (from volcanic eruptions). &lt;br /&gt;
-There are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet. Vowels: A, E, I, O, U - Consonants: H, K, L, M, N, P, W&lt;br /&gt;
-Hawaii is the most isolated population center on Earth. It is 2,390 miles (3,850 km) from California, 3,850 miles (6,195 km) from Japan and 4,900 miles (7,885 km) from China.&lt;br /&gt;
-Hawaii has its own time zone. It’s called Hawaiian Standard Time. There is no daylight savings time in Hawaii, which means that in summer, Hawaii is three hours behind the U.S. West Coast, while in winter, Hawaii is two hours behind the U.S. West Coast. (Which makes it very annoying trying to keep track of what time it is where our families and friends live).&lt;br /&gt;
-More than one-third of the world's commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii. The Dole Plantation is on the Island of Oahu which has the World's Largest Botanical Maze.&lt;br /&gt;
-Flip-flops are called slippers&lt;br /&gt;
-Appetizers are called Pupus&lt;br /&gt;
-Mahalo means Thank You&lt;br /&gt;
-Aloha means affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle  of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say  goodbye and hello.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
State Motto: Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono (The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness)&lt;br /&gt;
State Flower: Hibiscus (yellow)&lt;br /&gt;
State Bird: Nene (Hawaiian Goose)&lt;br /&gt;
State Song: "Hawaii Ponoi"&lt;br /&gt;
State Tree: Kukui (Candlenut)&lt;br /&gt;
State Mammal: Humpback Whale&lt;br /&gt;
State Fish: Humuhumunukunukuapua`a also known as the rectangular triggerfish&lt;br /&gt;

When I went to buy our postcards there was a great selection to choose from and there was no way I could pick just one so I just started grabbing one of each and counting until I had 51 (got extra just in case). I only have a few that are the same. When I went to check out, the girl at the register was not too happy with me because she had to scan each postcard individually... The postcard above is my favorite. We have lived here almost a year now and I am still in awe with the mountains. There just so amazing and beautiful. Here are some more of the postcards we sent off: I wanted "Fun Facts" to write on our postcards, so, I turned to Google! I only wish I had more room to write. Our postcard message: "The Aloha State" "Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959. There are 8 major islands.&amp;nbsp; Haleakala Crater (Ha-lay-ah-ja-lah) on Maui is the world's largest dormant Volcano and Kilauea Volcano on The Big Island is the world's most active. Hawaii is the only U.S. state that grows coffee. Aloha!" More Fun Facts:-Hawaii is the only U.S. state whose land area is increasing (from volcanic eruptions). -There are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet. Vowels: A, E, I, O, U - Consonants: H, K, L, M, N, P, W -Hawaii is the most isolated population center on Earth. It is 2,390 miles (3,850 km) from California, 3,850 miles (6,195 km) from Japan and 4,900 miles (7,885 km) from China. -Hawaii has its own time zone. It’s called Hawaiian Standard Time. There is no daylight savings time in Hawaii, which means that in summer, Hawaii is three hours behind the U.S. West Coast, while in winter, Hawaii is two hours behind the U.S. West Coast. (Which makes it very annoying trying to keep track of what time it is where our families and friends live). -More than one-third of the world's commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii. The Dole Plantation is on the Island of Oahu which has the World's Largest Botanical Maze. -Flip-flops are called slippers -Appetizers are called Pupus -Mahalo means Thank You -Aloha means affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say goodbye and hello. State Motto: Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono (The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness) State Flower: Hibiscus (yellow) State Bird: Nene (Hawaiian Goose) State Song: "Hawaii Ponoi" State Tree: Kukui (Candlenut) State Mammal: Humpback Whale State Fish: Humuhumunukunukuapua`a also known as the rectangular triggerfish We still need a few more Families to participate in the Postcard swap from: Florida, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont &amp; Wyoming - Email me if you would like to participate.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?&lt;br /&gt;
Granted its not this bad (Bobo was never that bad, luckily).&lt;br /&gt;

Thank goodness for my (rhymes with Twiffer) Vac. I love that thing! It works great too! I pretty much use it to clean crumbs off the floor after every meal. Between the two kids they make a mess. Princess freaks out whenever she gets crumbs under her legs. We have a island in the kitchen with 4 bar-stools on one side of it and that's where the kids always eat. With Daddy gone we eat dinner there as well. Its easier on Mommy not to have to run back and forth through the kitchen to the dining room table. Not to mention then the crums stay in one location instead of all over = less mess for Mommy as well. When do kids stop beeing such messy eaters? Some, probably never, my husband still makes a mess sometimes... There's no hope.&lt;br /&gt;

In case you didn't figure it out by my recent &lt;a href="http://www.mrs-marine.com/2010/06/wordless-wednesday-eclipse-twilight.html"&gt;Wordless Wednesday&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.mrs-marine.com/2010/06/aloha-friday-29.html"&gt;Aloha Friday&lt;/a&gt; posts, I'm a Big Twilight Fan! I have read all the books, twice. I lost count of how many times I have watched the Twilight and New Moon movies. I got to go see Eclipse last Wednesday, it was awesome!! I went with my neighbor S. while her husband watched the kids. I would totally go see it again right now if I could!! I cant wait for the DVD to come out so I can watch it whenever I want!&lt;br /&gt;
It occurred to me the other day, now that Eclipse is out, I'm sure the filming of Breaking Dawn will begin soon. There is a location in the books where certain characters are on a beautiful, secluded, tropical island (if you read the books you know who and where I'm talking about). I wonder what actual location that will be filmed at? It would be TOTALLY awesome if it was here in Hawaii! I would so become a stalker. I brought this up last night to S. and she was trying to pop my bubble saying it wouldn't be here. I would think it would be easier filming if it was in the US, so why not here! Its perfect! And then maybe, just maybe, I would be so lucky to run into Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart! Ive never meet anyone famous before.&lt;br /&gt;
Just say it, I'm a dork, I dont care... I'm a Twihard! &lt;br /&gt;

Yesterday, we were having a nice calm lunch when all of a sudden there was a VERY LOUD noise. For no reason whatsoever all the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors went off all together at the same time (that is by far, the loudest most high-pitch noise I have ever heard)... There are seven total around my house. I not only had to take the batteries out of them but also pull them all down from the ceiling in order to make them stop the incessant beeping. Of course to take them down I had to unfortunately be within reach of them. It took forever for my ears to stop ringing. I understand the need for having that many, but cant there be one off switch to reset all of them? That would make it too easy and less painful. - Writing this post just made me think of something, and sure enough I'm right! I just looked and there is a breaker switch in my garage for the alarms. The question is, would flipping that switch make them stop beeping or would I still have to take all the batteries out? Well, if flipping the breaker at least stopped the loud constant beeping that would help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of them is still beeping periodically despite no battery and no electrical connection... That one is now in my garage so I dont have to listen to it. - I totally felt like Phoebe on Friends, did you ever see that episode?&lt;br /&gt;
One of my neighbors has had problems with hers going off for no reason, a short in the wiring or something. Luckily since I live on base all I have to do it call maintenance and they will come check it out and re-install them for me. I only hope they dont go of again. At least it didn't happen in the middle of the night, or nap time. That would have been a VERY rude awakening. &lt;br /&gt;

The name of this months warmer is &lt;b&gt;Tiki&lt;/b&gt; (top image). The Scent is&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Paradise Punch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;!&lt;/b&gt; The scent of the month is available in; Scentsy wax bar (3.2 oz) or brick (16 oz), room spray and Hanging Freshener (bottom image)!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"A medley of wild Indian orange and sunny lemon juice, açaí berries, and starfruit."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I already tried this scent (one of the advantages of being a Scentsy Consultant) and I really like it, it smells really good!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__V6K14QXBMo/TCFxRSCKELI/AAAAAAAABQ4/m_L-_HeDj4s/s1600/07+July+-+PARADISE+PUNCH.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__V6K14QXBMo/TCFxRSCKELI/AAAAAAAABQ4/m_L-_HeDj4s/s320/07+July+-+PARADISE+PUNCH.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Stay tuned the 1st of every Month for a New Warmer and Scent!&lt;br /&gt;

It's SO good, everyone loves it! Every time I make it, it gets devoured! I think if I showed up at my neighbors house without it she wouldn't let me in... TeeHee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Guacamole Ingredients (make it fresh or buy it, Ive done both):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced&lt;br /&gt;
1 tsp garlic salt&lt;br /&gt;
2 tbs fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
-- OR -- I buy Ortega brand 11.5 oz jar &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Dip Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix&lt;br /&gt;
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans&lt;br /&gt;
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened&lt;br /&gt;
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream&lt;br /&gt;
1 (16 ounce) jar chunky salsa&lt;br /&gt;
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained&lt;br /&gt;
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese&lt;br /&gt;
2/3 bags Tostitos Scoops&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Guacamole &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados and stir in salt. Mix in the lime juice. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Dip Directions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. In a medium bowl, blend the taco seasoning mix and refried beans. Spread the mixture onto a large serving platter (13x9 inch glass dish works the best).&lt;br /&gt;
2. Mix the sour cream and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Spread over the refried beans. Then spread layer of Guacamole on top.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Top the layers with salsa, then Cheddar cheese. Garnish with black olives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They had $50 each. Princess was very exited to get to pick out whatever she wanted! I helped Bobo pick his stuff out, he got a bunch of different cars! One of the items Princess got was a baby doll that talks and sings. &lt;br /&gt;
The way this doll was packaged is somewhat disturbing. Usually I can manage to cut the wires with scissors but not this time, so I had to un-twist them all.... UGH... (All the while, Princess keeps telling her Baby, "Its OK Baby, I'm going to get you out") There were wires around the dolls neck, both wrists, feet, legs, and both her pig-tails. REALLY, is all that necessary?!? Toy manufactures come up with the coolest toys these days but they cant come up with a better - Less frustrating/annoying - way to package the toys? Especially the dolls so it doesn't look like there being tortured.&lt;br /&gt;
Princess also picked out a Barbie, which was a little easier. There were rubber bands binding the Barbie into her box which are easy to cut. But still the annoying strip holding the hair down.&lt;br /&gt;
RIDICULOUS!!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last two Christmas's hubby and I opened whatever packaging we could on toys "Before" we wrapped them. That way, Christmas morning your not stuck doing it all morning. Hands are free to take pictures and kids are happy to be able to play with their toys right out of the box! &lt;br /&gt;
