New photos

As you can see I've added some new photos of the kids. We have been very busy around here. With one kid getting sick after another. We have been hearing from my husband and everything is going as good as to be expected with him. I miss him more and more everyday. My oldest daughter has decided to do cheerleading for the football asso. They have here in Culpeper. We signed her up last night. She seems to be excited. I am to I think she will like this better than soccer. My sister is coming up on the 28th yeah, maybe I can get my deck stained and sealed while she's here (as if I know what I'm doing.) I'm currently taking a college class to top things off. School is almost out and then I really will go crazy (as if I wasn't all ready there.) Our neighborhood is turning out to Wisteria lane for those of you that watch. I haven't has to deal with this type of situation. Living overseas everybody pretty much minds there own business. My husband and I are the type of people who don't like to get involved, however with him gone and no one to keep me company I find myself being pulled further and further in. Also being a stay at home mom you get to see and hear a lot of things. I just found out that the reserve unit here in culpeper has been deployed to Iraq. They will be in charge of training new officers for the Iraqi Army. If everyone could please keep them in your thought and prayers. We all know that is can be a dangerous job. Well my son is the one sick this week so I better go check on him. I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for all the support out there.

Packages are coming

Ok after a long list on things my husband said to send him I'm up to box #3. I feel so bad because this is the first time I'm sending anything to him. It's just so hard to try and figure out how to drag two kids and packages into a post office that doesn't have a parking lot so sometimes you have to park down the street. I feel as if I'm starting to get the hang of my husband being gone I don't know if that's a good thing or not. It's strange because now that he has been gone for awhile people around this small town are starting to ask if I'm married. God only knows what they are thinking with me dragging around three kids all the time by myself. Of course I tell them I'm married and my husband is currently deployed. I just recently heard that the unit here in Culpeper VA is being deployed. I heard from my husband yesterday. Everything is going good with him. It so weird how you start to get use to the way things are. I have people that say I don't know how you can do it. I just think to myself you just do. You go on and not think about it. So what if the house isn't perfect or the dishes aren't done. You just do what you got to do to get by. Well as I'm typing here my husband's 1SG just called to check in. She asked how things were going and said if we need anything to give them a call. How do you tell them I need my husband back can you make that happen. We are still unsure as to how long he will be there. Only time will tell. Time to wrap this up. Until next time.

Very Busy

I know I know. It's been awhile since I wrote. I've been really busy with yard work, house work and kids. This weekend was great Alex had her soccer game on Sat. She did well. On Sunday we went to kings Dominion with some friends from the neighborhood. We stayed a little longer than expected we were having fun. On Monday Alex had a field trip to a farm. My youngest Taylor has been sick since yesterday. She threw up about three times. She really hasn't wanted to eat today. Will see what happens. I got a scare today from Alex's school. They called and asked why Alex wasn't in school today I said I put her on the bus she should be there. They told me to hold on. I was on hold for about 10 mins so of course my mind starts coming up with things, as I'm on the verge of tears saying to myself she's there you put her on the bus you saw her get on the bus. They come back on the phone and said it was the other Alex in her class that was absent today they got the names mixed up. What a relief there. It's going to be pretty hot her today almost in the 90's. I'm trying to keep from turning the AC on, but with Taylor being sick I'm going to have to. I've heard from my husband he's doing good. Just tired and working hard. I'm still waiting for his reenlistment bonus so I can get our fence built. The kids need one bad and so do the dogs. This is the Army however hurry up and wait. I'm Alex 's birthday party in coming up soon so I'm busy trying to get that planned out. She is going to have a moon bounce that will be fun. Well Taylor is tired I better get her down for a nap.

What a long weekend.

Wow we had a busy weekend. Alex had her first soccer game. She did really well. She didn't make it through the whole game she got tired so I told them she was done for the day. We then went to a restaurant (fun). The behaved pretty well. Taylor my youngest like to eat food off any plate that is closest to her. When I got home I let the kids run around the yard. Well Curtis's shoe fell off and when I went to catch him to put it back on he messed his toe up. It took me and my husband's aunt 30 mins or so to get the splinter out. That wasn't due to my son not cooperating but due to the splinter. So everybody went to bed early Sat. Sunday we had a birthday party. I always say as soon as you have kids it's nothing but Dr. Appointments and Birthday Parties. We didn't stay too long due to the fact that my son wasn't wanting to walk because of his toe. They got their faces painted and got balloon animals. I'll have to hire that clown for Curtis's birthday. We came home I put the two youngest down for a nap and then did some yard work. The we grilled out for dinner and then everyone went to bed. Sunday night I watch Desperate housewives. I'm addicted. That and that is one of the only shows I can watch due to the fact it comes on @ 2100 on a Sunday. My kids are in bed by 2000. I talked to my husband Sat. He is doing good. We mainly talk about house stuff and the kids. So needless to say today I'm tired and slightly sunburnt, but my yard is coming along. That's another reason I miss my husband yard work I don't mind mowing the lawn, but having to do it all the time yuck. It's the little things you don't think about. Well time to start my day. I'm getting the house inspected tomorrow our one year warranty on this place is almost up, so I'm getting the place inspected so I can turn the list in. It's nice having a new house with my husband being gone because let me tell yeah I'm lucky I can hang a picture straight. Much less do anything else.

Until later
