insert beer can opening sound here

enjoy the loooooooong weekend, folks. smile a lot. laugh even more.

happy birthday, uncle b

can’t wait to see you in a few weeks for a rematch.

LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

it’s like the new version of alli

i have a parasite. living in my gut. worming its way throughout my intestines and bowels and every time i eat something, it spastically unleashes the fury of itself in the toilet.

(sorry mom, usually i write about jackson’s shit. today it’s my shit.)

anyway, i eat… and then i potty… and then i’m starving.

which sucks entirely because i eat all day long. like normally, on any given healthy day.

i have at least 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, snacks in between, and dinner.

all day long. every day.

as i type this post, i’m snacking on cheez-its.

so you can imagine what it’s like right now, eating as much as i do, results in me shitting nonstop.

at first i thought i had food poisoning at the hands of my mother because i was at her house when the current resident of my intestines decided to say HELLO and squeeze the life out of my bowels.

i blamed my mom, though her cooking is righteous. she felt horrible for days. i’m fairly certain she has bleached her kitchen twelve times since last sunday.

then i thought i had ecoli, possibly from taking jackson to my parent’s pool where we swam in the pee pool and waded in its disgustingness.

then i thought i had some stomach bug. tons of people have been talking about a stomach thing that’s been going around and pissing people off b/c WHO GETS A STOMACH BUG IN THE SUMMERTIME?!?!?

wrong. wrong. wrong. i was wrong about it all.

according to the doctor, i tested positive for cryptosporidium. ya’ll, it’s so damn nasty that i can’t even talk about it. if you have the balls to click the link and read about it, then yay for you.

i will not be blamed for your nightmares.

so the reason i was so stumped this week in trying to figure out what the hell was going on with my gut, is that i’ve had no other symptoms aside from awful intestinal cramping and the shits.

no fever. no vomiting (i hate puking more than ANYTHING else in the world). no body aches or feeling lousy. none of that.

just a lot of pain and a lot of shit.

i guess i should be glad to have an answer, ya know? be glad to know what’s going on in this warped body of mine that has lost 6 pounds in the last 4 days.

i hate not knowing shit.

also, i can look forward to the new wardrobe i will buy when my 2 weeks of hosting this little fucker is up. (it dies after 2 weeks.)

and, i’m kinda glad it’s not some permanent stomach thing that forces me to eat jamie lee curtis’ poop yogurt.

those commercials weird me out.

remember when i told you that i married a guy in the military? shut up. he’s hot.

we’re moving back home ya’ll. this means i get my southern drawl back (aw hells yeah!), reunite with my inner beach baby, and bring jackson back to his roots.

(no, we didn’t name our son after the city in which he was born. stop asking.)

i’m so excited that i may even start a penny can league. NORTH FLORIDA ROCKS!!!

paul got his orders IN HAND tuesday morning. he texted me a picture of said orders. it was a beautiful moment.

we are moving back to jacksonville, florida in september.

yeah, like 3 months from now. perhaps a little less.

you may now join me in maniacal laughter.

i laugh because i want to cry when i think about all that needs to be done in order for this move to take place in that amount of time.

…and i don’t feel like making any “to do” lists right now.

i don’t talk much about paul’s work in this space. this space is mine and his work is… well… his. but on rare occasions, these world collide.

it’s funny when i do write about paul or his work, the vast majority of you incredible readers either don’t know or have forgotten that we are a military family.

i don’t identify myself as a military wife or navy wife because that’s just a part of who i am. and, to me, it’s a fairly small part.

i’m paul’s wife. no title necessary.

when we came to annapolis, two and a half years ago, we came because our son was sick. he needed pediatric GI care from johns hopkins, and the navy showed us mercy in sending us here instead of japan (what paul’s orders were originally written for).

he has had a desk job for the last two and a half years instead of being in the air, flying a plane, which gives him the ultimate happy.

paul sacrifices a lot.

no, i’m not going to get preachy. it’s just a fact. he sacrifices a lot. a lot of people do. all kinds of people.

maryland has been good to our family. i’m so grateful for the friendships that have been made during our time here.

alas, our hearts belong to the oppressive heat and humidity of jacksonville… and we are STOKED.

“the time of moisture and defeat.”

i’m in atlanta (again) at my folks’ house with jackson. it’s eleventy and sixteen degrees out with approximately 400 percent humidity and afternoon thunderstorms.

in other words, it’s summer.

you can see more of hannah here, and follow her on teh twitterz here. do eeeeeeet!
