The Up and Up

Things feel like they are slowly getting better. My heart feels a little happier today, and my headache was knocked out with a small 1500mg dose of tylenol. Boo-yah! I win! I cannot begin to express how good it feels to have a laptop again... I know it sounds stupid, but when I am sitting at the other computer I feel like I should just be playing games. Too many long nights of Evony and bigfish games with Jean Marie on that computer to ever feel like it is meant for anything else. Aside from that, getting boo's room done and getting the rug into the living room have made this house feel a little more "homey."

So, I have slowly been getting Ivan's room ready. Unfortunately, in order to do that, I have to get Cara's room ready first because a majority of the things in his room have to be moved to hers. Last week I moved the kitchen set, barbie vet set, and all the girly toys. Today I moved the rainbow paper lanterns and the last girly poster. Boo's room is rocking now! Poor baby. She has waited 2 years for her room to actually look like it belongs to her.

The weather here is getting warmer. While my pregnant self is not enjoying the heat too much I am happy to know that summer is finally here because that means that the time to get my hubby back is drawing closer. Cara is getting older by the second! I can't believe how much she has progressed lately. Steven isn't going to recognize her when he gets home.

Now that my computer is up and running, I think that it is time to finally put that final chapter on my book. I am anxious to finally finish it. Not that I am going to really share it with anyone other than Ashley and Amanda, but at least it will be done. At any rate... its only noon thirty and I got plenty to get done around here. So, back to the grind with me.

Take A Break

Well, here we are again... another late night, I am wide awake... it has officially become tomorrow, and I don't feel sleep coming anytime soon. I haven't had a whole lot of worth-while thoughts running through my head lately; everything has become very routine and my days just sort of fade in and out of one another. I mean, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but when I get into these robotic ways I feel like it means I am slacking on the children. I may be comfortable with cleaning floors, dishes, and doing laundry at the exact same time everyday, and spending spare time watching tv, crocheting, and sitting around the house; but these poor girls must hate it. I really need to find a way that we can still go do something without me breaking my rules for pregnancy. The beach is a no-no because walking in the sand is a workout so, I cant do that. The park would be okay if it didnt mean chasing Boo all over hell and back... getting the pool out and letting them swim in the ...

Im a Big Girl

There has been some conversation lately, about me being the primary contact during Steven's deployments. Primary contact is the person that is contacted in case of any situations that take place in theater (Afghanistan). If there was any type of injury, but he was okay, he would be able to call me himself, but if the injuries were extensive than they would notify me by phone on what is going on, what happened, and where he is located/headed to (medivac out of country, etc.) However if there was a casualty than I would be notified by the infamous movie-made-famous scene of the men in uniforms coming to knock on my door and ruin my life! So.... these are the facts. I have been married to this life for going on 9 years now... This is our 4th deployment, all combat deployments, and I have always understood the risk involved when my husband leaves us and heads out to do the job he has trained so tirelessly for. I have always known that he could be killed in action, or hurt, but I have n...

Missing In Action

Well, I honestly have to question my mental health on certain days. It feels like every time I talk to someone who is about to make a career move, their number one concern is how long that job is going to take them away from their families... I do not think we ever even considered this when he started doing what he is doing now. It's the weirdest thing to me that people are conerned with deployments and training schedules... I never really give it much thought because it is normal to us, I guess. I remember a time when I was adjusting to Steven always being gone, and I literally had to carry a picture of him with me at all times because I was certain that I was going to forget what he looked like. There were very late nights, up with kids, where I was worried I was going insane because I did not feel like this husband of mine actually existed. How ridiculous is that? Now, I suppose we have gotten so good at being apart, that he can be gone for majority of the year and I do...
