My parents are in town this week. The kids are having a great time with their grandparents and enjoying all the special treats that come with visitors in town. (Later bedtimes, dessert for breakfast, movies in the middle of the day, etc)<\/p>\n

My mom’s birthday falls right after Christmas so I decided to take her clothes shopping for her birthday. My mom rarely buys anything for herself, she is always giving to others. I thought it would be fun to take her to the store where my daughter works<\/a> and get her a pretty outfit.<\/p>\n

We had a great time shopping and it was fun to see my mom actually doing something for herself, which never happens!<\/p>\n

The kids are distracted from real life with all the holiday hustle and bustle. I’m hoping the distraction carries over until after Christmas.<\/p>\n

My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.\u00a0 These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.\u00a0 I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.\u00a0 To read from the beginning, click here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
