Just tired....

I'm feeling a bit down today. I'm hoping that my lunch date with a friend of mine will lift my sprits as we see "The Ugly Truth" I heard it was funny! I could use a good laugh. Kyle has been gone for nearly 7 months now and frankly I'm just darn tired of it! I'm tired of managing everything on my own, I've been so strong for so long that I can feel the crack getting bigger and bigger. I run all over here and half of Georgia taking kids to bus stops, picking them up from 2 different aftercare programs,mowing the grass in triple digit heat, gymnastics, cleaing, laundry, baths, dinner, homework, working part time, preparing for level 2 of nursing school...and on and on and on!

I'm just tired!

He was due to be home last week but got delayed until the end of the month! Which sucks! It really didn't bother me too much UNTIL other det sites started coming home! There was one last week, one Sunday, and one tomorrow! While it's nice o know that those families are being reunited...it still stinks that I still have to wait.

Good news is.. I have family coming on Friday and staying a week so that will kill alot of time and we will have fun! The girls are excited! Well i just had to get that off my chest and I haven't posted in a while...take care and God Bless!

Some things that put a smile on my face on tough days....

Not me! Monday......

I'm back this week for McKMomma's Not Me Monday!! Click on the link to check her page out! You will be delighted in following her blog! Just precious! So here goes...

I did NOT let Gracie pick out her hearing aid colors this week all by her 3 year old self! That would just be way too much fun!! She did NOT pick BRIGHT purple with purple GLITTERED ear molds! Nope that would just be way too cool...

I did NOT spend my Thursday morning taking adorable pictures of Gracie's special needs preschool class at the mall with Santa! I did NOT enjoy the precious time with my baby girl! What mother would?...

We did NOT let the girls open presents Saturday morning because we are leaving this week to go "home" for Christmas! That would NOT have been absolutely fun for the girls! They are just presents!...

My 3 year old did NOT ride her new bike around the house NUDE!! She has way too much class to do that! She is a lady!She also did NOT meet a church pastor that came to invite people to church at the door with her daddy with no panties on! She did NOT run from the potty to see who was at the door and FORGOT her panties! Nope not my child! I did NOT feel sorry for the pastor either...I also did NOT wonder what he thought when he left or how embarrassed my hubby was!!:) Nope Not Me!!

My 6 year old did NOT come home with aligator tears running down her face on Friday! She did NOT get a yellow for behavior, for she ALWAYS listens to her teacher and is NEVER overly active! My heart did NOT hurt for her, and she did NOT get grounded Friday night for her behavior....that would just be responsible parenting!Nope...Not Me!...

My 3 year old did NOT enjoy the "fighting" at the hockey game on Saturday! She is NOT a girlie girl that LOVES baby dolls! We did NOT enjoy that great game and family time together! What do you think we are??....a loving family??? That enjoys our precious time together???....Nope NOT us!! ;)...

That wrap this episode of Not Me! Monday!!! Happy Holidays!!!

Not Me, Monday!

I simply LOVE reading Mck Momma's blog! So I decided to join in on the fun! Here goes...

I did NOT laugh at my 3 year old wearing nothing but panties, mary janes on the wrong feet, a I Love D.C. ear/headwarmer, and a dogtag necklace reading Meth=Death that we got at the fair. Nope, I did NOT! She was serious about her fashion that day! :)

I did NOT await my husband's out of town training for a much needed break at home, only to realize that the front I put on no longer works and I miss him more than ever!Nope, Iam NOT lonely, bored, and stressed! Uh uh! Nope!

I absolutely DID NOT go get my 3 year old out of bed last night beacuse I simply did not want to sleep alone! Nope I didn't! I did NOT enjoy snuggling with her either, and realize that she is growing up way too fast!

And I DID NOT watch my babies sleep for 10 minutes and tear up at the fact that they are gettin bigger and bigger! I did NOT reach for my 6 year old's hand and kiss it and hold it realizing that her little hand will not stay that little! Nope I didn't!
I did NOT smell their sweet hair and kiss their forehead and thank God for these precious little girls that he blessed us with!

Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks! God Bless!! Til next time ♥

So it took 2 months....

to post another blog! hahah! I get so busy, then when I have time, I just don't know what to write about. Things here are going good. I just got over a two week illness...don't know what it was...flu or BAD cold? Good thing is I'm back to my old self! YAY!

Well, it's also that time of year that Grace is sick ALL THE TIME! Arggg! Her asthma is what keeps her so sick through the winter. She gets a cold and it ends up in her chest. She's on breathing treatments and asthma meds so that helps. Kyla is getting bigger and bigger. Geesh...where does the time go? She is such a lovable beautiful little girl, I'm so proud of her already! I pray that she keeps that soft heart as it will take her so far in life, and possibly help many people! :) She loves to read, which also makes me proud. I can't believe she will be 7 in Feburary. That is also when her daddy leaves for deployment for 7 months. That is going to be hard on her and my heart already aches for her. She don't understand why daddy has to leave us for so long to help others in need. One day she will though.

Time will only tell how Grace will react to it! haha! She is a character. She is such a free yet determined spirit! Gets that from momma! ;) I love my girls more than they will ever know. I am so happy that the Lord blessed me with "my girls"!






They may drive me so far up the wall that I think I may never come down, but I wouldn't trade the hard times for the sweet moments that tug at my heart strings.... for nothing!

Well that about wraps this episode...hahha...time to get my Gracie off the bus! Til next time ♥

Sorry

well I did have a nice long blog on here but my stupid butt accidentally erased it! So i will write again later! Sorry! :(

Been awhile....

I haven't wrote all week. Just didn't feel like it. I've been semi depressed missing Kyle! He comes home in a few days so the excitement is increasing!! Oh has it been a LONG week! The girls were absolutely horrible this week. They have been fighting, crying, wining, and getting in to things they know not to. I know that they may be reacting to daddy being gone in their own way, but oh does it make it harder for me. I have no friends here yet and no family to give me a break! I get so stressed. It's only worse because school is out for the summer. It only makes me dread Kyle's 7 mo. deployment in Feb.! But, this is good practice to get a "game plan" on for these crazy kids. They have to learn to listen to me and when I say NO...I mean NO!!! This weekend went by so slow. We got ready to get in the pool twice...yes twice....and both times as soon as we got settled (sunblock, floaties, rules, etc.) here comes a darn storm! Then today I told them no pool due to the weekend experience and not a darn cloud in the sky!! Go figure! Oh well..you win some you lose some!! Well I better go...gotta get some sleep! I have hardly slept the 2 weeks he's been gone! Wish me luck! ♥

Totally bummed today...

Kyle left at 4 am this morning for FEX training until the 26th. Normally the first few days are ok, but he left today, a Saturday!! We always do things together or with the kids on the weekends. So, I feel like I'm off schedule today. It just don't feel right! I hate when he leaves! I don't have anyone to talk adult talk to! I'm really missing him already too, and its only been 4 1/2 hours! I think it makes it harder because he really didn't want to leave. He came in and hugged and kissed me 4 times!! I could tell by the look on his face and his touch that he was going to miss me! It touched me! It's nice to know after 8 years together that he can still miss me!! I felt so loved when he left this morning. So, that is a good start to the next 2 weeks, I guess! Maybe me and my girls will hang in the pool today!! Gotta keep my tan up for our FL trip when he gets back!! My brother Micheal is visiting and we are going to stay 2 nights in FL. YAY! It will be a good ending to the training trip! I also have the task to get Gracie potty trained. Boy, is she a hard one to train. I've been trying for 6 months!! Kyla trained in 1 darn day!!! Of course, Kyla was always my "easy" one! Grace has been hard on me since conception, really! I had SEVERE morning sickness with her, followed by placenta previa, followed by growth redardation (I stopped growing with her at 34 weeks), follwed by being born with Stickler's syndrome and Pierre Robin Sequence(with cleft palate), followed by several hospital stays, and so on and so on......you get my drift right! hahah! She's a handful, but she truely is my miralce baby!! I prayed for another baby, and I got her. God didn't want her to be perfect, and honestly, neither do I! She is spunky and a rebel!! It's cute until she tries it with me!! hahah! Well I better end this...I feel like I'm rambling on and on...so unitl next time.....

Blogger Virgin...

Well, I guess I'll join the million of others who blog! Hahah! I'm hoping that this helps me a bit. It can be very hard to be a military spouse, and we don't always have someone there to listen to our day or our frustrations. We are left behind alot with the kids! Which is fun, but you miss those times when something is really bothering you and you can just blurt it out and be done with it! ;) So, this is going to my talking time in adult language! Hope you enjoy my blogs and please feel free to post comments.
