oh the 4th of july, a day that has given me problems from the moment i was back from Iraq, and now that im in Germany, any Holiday that the germans feel should be celebrated with fireworks.
we cooked out, the kids played in the front yard, one of our neighbors came out as well. then we went to WAAF for the 4th celebration. we ran into a lot of people we know and had a good time.
then it was time for the fireworks. they were nice, i took pic and video of them while i held balian on my lap, holding him tight as the booms made bursts. only 1 truely got me, with that sound and its echo for a few seconds i was back in that Target of a building we all worked and slept in the building i start and end all my flashbacks in, the shaking windows/buildind with a boom as dirt and dust starts to fall from the celing overhead.
except for those few seconds i had fun. i think having my kids there to keep my attention on them helped the most.
joss had her hands over her ears and kept asking to go home , but kept telling us how pretty things were.
the day after once we all woke up from a very long night out, we canceled our plans for the pool and just stayed home and watched movies. ill be scrubbing tomorrow to catch up on 4 days worth. i get so lazy when amos is home.
