Lonely Saturday...

Nothing short of a boring and rainy day here in the Pacific Northwest...We went to the post office to mail daddy his cookies..played at a friends house for an hour or so, and then spent the rest of the day eating and sleeping.



I've been exhausted lately...organizing and cleaning is hard work.



We had pizza tonight..trying to keep the traditions alive and well while daddy is away.



I missed him a lot today. It's funny, even though we just take this deployment a day at a time..some days I think I just won't make it another day..I hate not hearing his voice, not seeing his face, and not really being able to fully connect with him in any way. I always get more discouraged when we haven't talked in a while...



Anyway...boring..I know. But that's our life today...

Friday =)

What a sweet little man Ben is turning out to be.

Today was a good day, paid bills, ran errands, played at the McD's play place, had a friend over, and finished cleaning upstairs.

I am starting to feel more in control again and I think I like it. ;) We've already fallen back into a routine, and it's been pretty nice.

But even though it's good to be home, I know the kids benefited from having so many people around that love them so much. I told Ben we were going to go bye bye and he said "a noni's house?" He also carried a stuffed bunny from Liz around all last night and through today, and ended up taking it to bed with him again tonight. I know he misses the family.

In other news...I had an appointment with my Dr. here on Thursday. He wasn't too impressed by the Dr. I had been seeing in Ohio. His comment was, "hmm, must be a minimalist..I'm not."

So..we jumped right in with a full ultrasound and measured every part of the baby. Our darling M5 is ahead of schedule by 4 weeks. He doesn't think the dates are wrong, just that it's a large baby. I have another appointment on the 29th to measure again. At 28 weeks, I measured 32 and this week at 31 weeks, I measured 35. It really explains all the discomfort I've been feeling..and how I feel like I'm already at the end when I still have 9 weeks to go...

Anyway...this was kind of a "stream of consciousness" post...my thoughts as I thought them...

Goodnight!

Wordless Wednesday

Post # 530

Don't feel like blogging....

Don't feel like taking pictures....

Don't feel like organizing and purging, but that is what has consumed my days lately...

I did post photos of the house damage on facebook...

Drywall is getting repaired tomorrow and we will hopefully know by then how much we are allowed to spend on the new flooring. We have some ideas, but I just want to pick and get it over with. I need a way to warp time...

I miss my husband...
