I’m finally better. Well mostly better. Better enough to make meals and start cleaning up Christmas. Today the I spend five hours cleaning out the girls’ room. Five hours.<\/p>\n

My sister is in town and that’s always fun and a welcome distraction. The kids opened up their Christmas gifts from my sister last night and Cora got a little pair of hot pink slipper boots. She loves them. I mean loves them. They are furry and glittery and pink. Which is everything Cora likes.<\/p>\n

She wants to wear them to church and even went to bed wearing them.<\/p>\n

We got a box of goodies delivered from my sweet friend Stef<\/a> and a box of popcorn from my friend Connie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also got signed up for grocery delivery. I’ve always thought it sounded like a cool idea, but I wasn’t sure about it. I think my sickness was too much for the Commander so he ordered groceries for us. I’ll let you know what I think of it soon since I didn’t see the price tag!<\/p>\n

Our eleven year old is really missing dad. His prayer at dinner was to keep dad safe and that Christmas just wasn’t the same without him.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to figure out how to help him get through this, but I don’t have many ideas. He got to talk to his dad for a long time tonight, which helped. I think they talked for two hours, maybe longer. I have no idea what they talked about but I know he was in a much better mood when he got off the phone.<\/p>\n

I got an email today from a reader encouraging me to hang in there. She reminded me not to lose my sense of humor. Lately I’ve misplaced it. I plan on getting it back today. Thank you!<\/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":"
