Time's UP...hopefully...

Well this should be the last week that J is away from us. I am so thankful the time is coming to an end. It has been much harder this last time having him gone as this is my first time being a stay at home mom and having him gone. I don't get much time away from the kid, but I have appreciated all those who have called to have us come over for play dates and taking him for a short amount of time so that I can have a few hours of my own. Hopefully when he gets back he'll be able to take some time off so we can spend it together before he has to report back to work. I wish we could get away but I have my niece on Monday and Tuesday so we can't leave the state. Oh well. Maybe another time. Now would be ideal as he won't be in school yet and come this fall he'll be taking on a heavier load meaning we won't get a chance to get away until Thanksgiving. Hopefully we'll be able to figure it out. I'm just so excited to have him home. I know A is too. He's having a hard time behaving himself lately. He's gotten to the point where he's starting to kick and hit other kids. I know it's because he's ready for dad to come home but that doesn't mean he should get away with it. I pray that he does come home soon and doesn't get an extension on his orders!!

Poor A

A has been sick since yesterday. It has been hard. I hate how when little kids are sick they are just so miserable and is all you can do is hold them. I don't do well with people being sick. With the way he was sick I was hard pressed not to join him. J was feeling helpless as he's still gone and couldn't be here to help me. Well time is almost up and soon he'll be home to help with A. Luckily it's beautiful weather outside so I can open the windows and get rid of all the yucky smells quite quickly!

Hannah Montana

Today I saw the Hannah Montana movie. First let me explain before you start laughing at me! I had the chance to take my niece with me while her kind mother took my kid and the niece I was watching. I had a chance to go to a movie and just relax. My niece that I took is old enough to take care of her needs, so I didn't have to worry about running to the bathroom or making sure she sat still. IT WA GREAT!! I also got a break from my adorable son whom I love, but I needed a break from again. SO that is the reason for the movie. A change of age for a kid for a couple of hours and a chance to not be a mom too. So thanks Sara for putting up with your crazy aunt!

Gone...

Yes it's been a little while since I posted anything. See my husband is off on an adventure so I've been sitting around trying to get things settled with A. It's not been easy! He doesn't want to brush his teeth or say his prayers since daddy is gone. I'm trying to make sure we don't stay cooped up in the house, but then I hate to infringe on other peoples free time. I love that he still has preschool right now as that is one of the few things that forces me to get up, get dressed and get out of the house. I keep thinking while he's gone now is the time for me to really focus on exercising again since I have lots of time on my hands, but still I just lay in bed only getting out to turn on the snooze button. I'm the perfect procrastinator let me tell ya. I've kept up on dishes and laundry, but right now housework is taking a backseat to my laziness. It has been good that he's gone cause that means he took his laptop meaning I can't be on the computer and watch TV at the same time anymore. Our desktop computer is downstairs so I have to chose to either be on the computer or watch TV. I'm glad that J has his computer that way we can see him when we log into MSN messanger. My computer is ancient so it processes things a little slow to the point where the camera gets stuck. Maybe I need my brother-in-law Big D to come up and work on my computer or tell me what I need to do so I can get it to work faster. I also need to look at getting a new camera as J took our only digital camera. Yes I can go back to my 35 mm, but that means I can't tell what the pictures are like and I take FOREVER to get the film developed. Once again... my laziness wins out. So hopefully here soon I'll find a camera I like... except I might get a camcorder instead... I don't know. I'll just have to wait and see what I feel we need.
