Deployment Day #76

So today I managed to fit in a trip to the dentist (3rd time in a month- that’s what I get for having all these kids!), all our school work, picked up the house, and the kids ate something other than cereal for dinner.

I feel like I just ran a half marathon (not that I know what that feels like). I’m tired, but I’m glad I powered through.

I LOVE our dentist. We’ve been to a ton of different places and this one is my favorite. They are fast, we never have to wait and the staff is super friendly.

The kids and I have decided we hate winter. Today it was 60 degrees and they were running around without jackets. Because it feels like summer. I want to take a trip to Florida soon to escape the grey, but planning a trip and coordinating the schedules of seven other people is…. well a pain.

I keep wavering back and forth about going. If I wait too much longer to make a decision Maryland weather will be nice again and it will be 100 degrees with 100% humidity in Florida.

Today was another good day. I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of this thing. It’s only taken me 75 days. Not too bad!

My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.  These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.  I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.  To read from the beginning, click here.
