NYC...and then a furlough

Molly was great at taking these "us" pics
Well, I have to say this weekend was fun filled and my bubble was burst a tad this morning.  In the grand scheme of things, personally I'm incredibly blessed each and every day, furlough or no furlough.  At this current hour of 10pm, we don't have a resolve or Continued Resolution Authority (CRA) to fund our government employees.  I'm worried about employees with a sole income.  I'm worried about the single parents.  I'm worried about all the "missed" items in the event of a furlough.

I consider myself blessed to support the warfighter everyday.  All the people I work with are passionate and honored to be a Civil Servant.  As government employees, we all raised our right hand and accepted the oath to serve the President of the United States and his appointees.  With that said, my family and I will just keep praying for those in need and decision makers during this time of fiscal uncertainty.

Ladies at Times Square
On a positive note, this weekend in NYC was an absolute blast.  Molly, Mione, Tara and I really knocked out some serious sight-seeing in the city.  It was amazing how much we accomplished in 31 hours in the big apple.  I can't describe all the events, because I have a ton of homework due before midnight...but a few included; Cinderella on Broadway, FAO, the Chelsea District, the Garment District, Times Square (our hotel was the Marriott Marquee), carriage ride in Central Park, bagels, pizza, cupcakes, brownies, coffee (of course), pastrami sandwiches, late night munchies, and of course impromptu singing in a restaurant.


This guy totally photo bombed us...FUN TIMES!

A simple list for a simple reason....to explain why I run: 1.) My children.  I want my kids to understand and appreciate the benefits of exercise and healthy eating.  I am a daily role model for my two little ones.  They deserve me to be the best I can be. 2.) Myself.  I deserve a long and healthy life.  I want to be 80 and still climbing mountains with my best friends.  I enjoy going to the doctor and having the nurse say "you are a runner," purely based off my vital signs.  I need the "me" time...and I choose to spend the "me" time exercising over watching T.V. or other optional hobbies. 3.) My husband.  He's an amazing guy.  Robert Allen Haidaczuk, Jr., you deserve a wife who will sit in that rocking chair by your side....for as long as we are tired of rocking (knowing our track record, it's about 2.5 seconds). 4.) My mom.  She raised me to not quit.  She didn't quit on me when times are tough (and boy, they were *tear* toug...

It's a Wonderful World

This month of April really kicked off with many trips.  Bob traveled TDY to Greece for a few weeks. Our family really missed having the extra TLC in our home.  Although everything get's accomplished (school & after school adventures), I personally feel like a car chugging on 3 wheels.  It makes it down the road - but we sure miss that 4th wheel. This picture was added to the AFNorth "Month of a Military kid" wall.  I simply love that Cammie wanted to be in the photo too :D  Avery was wearing her pjs - that's just life.  Dad was heading out the door. The kids started swim lessons at the JFC-Brunssum, Netherlands pool.  I'm told the Dutch take kids swim lessons very seriously and even follow a certification program due to all the canals in Holland.  After being on the wait-list for 6 months, I was excited for Tyler and Avery to learn proper strokes.  Tyler already had swim lessons in school but this class actually seems to encourage ...
