This just sucks. That is all.

Ok, so making salsa without gloves is not advisable. Especially if you are having allegeries. Let me say I am still feeling the burn, but the salsa is yummy. :)

Time is moving way to fast for my taste. We have been having a blast and not having to answer about how we feel and if someone can come over and spend time with us before Hubby takes off for his trip across the pond. Family just left and we have a few days to hang out and laugh. I don't feel the pressure to have everything perfect before Hubby leaves and I really am enjoying our time hanging out and laughing. I have not laughed so much in a really long time and I am enjoying it.

Big Man 2 is having a hard time this week. Between school and Daddy getting ready to "go to work" he is melting down at least twice a day. Hopefully he will be better in a few weeks. The rest of the Kiddos are hanging in there and being wonderful about things. All of them get some one on one with their Daddy so they are happy. I even had time with Daddy and we had a blast hanging out and watching a movie.

I starte school this week and love, just love my classes. Math will be pretty easy but the rest will be a changellage to me. That is a good thing. I have to do questions in two classes instead of a term paper and that makes me happy. I would rather research questions rather than find sources and write a term paper that may or may not meet the profosser's likes.

Anyway I am off to drop Kiddos in bed and snuggle up with the most amazing man in the world.

Baby eating breakfast before school. He went without crying and had a huge smile when I picked him up. A very good first day at preschool for him.
Big Man 2 eating breakfast bright and early. This child is not a morning person so this is a rare sight before 10 AM let alone at 7AM.
Buddy Lee was ready to go Sunday night so he was set.
Sweetnes riding off to middle school. She was ready for this new step in her life.
Big Man getting ready for 11th grade. WOW!! 11th grade, I still can not get that wrapped my mind. I am only 34, that is way to young to be havng a kiddo getting ready to graduate in 2 years.

As for me, I did ok. I did not ance as much as I thought as I would. As I walked Big Man 2 to school I began to get butterflies. He walked into the building all by himself with no tears. He made me so proud. Baby was sleeping in the truck to his school but woke up as soon as I turned the engine off. He climbed out of the truck before I had stepped two feet away from my door. He walked in and joined in like he owned the place.

My one class today was good. Not to sure about the professor though. Maybe it will flow better throughout the next few days. I have a long day tomorrow with 3 classes and an FRG meeting in the evening. The inlaws are still here and driving me crazy. Oh well, at least HUbby ets to see his folks before he takes off for the sandbox.

Speaking of the sandbox, the date has been moved up and we are not close to being ready. I am sure we will be when the time comes. Til then I hate the rollercoaster ride of emotions. Oh well, off to shower and get ready for a new day tomorrow.

Today is the day Hubby and I wed 15 years ago. Earlier this week I had totally spaced it as did Hubby. With so much happening and things going on it was just another day. We had not planned on doing anything because of a coming deployment but the neighbor took all FIVE of the Kiddos and said we needed at least one night alone. I am so glad that she did. Hubby and I went bowling and had a yummy dinner at Logan's Roadhouse. Last night as we were laying in bed, chatting before sleep overtook, I asked him if he thought we would make it this far. His answer was a flat out no. We have had some really ugly times and even came to the point of not liking who we each had become. A few years apart because of military stuff and we are likeing each other again and rememberng why we fell in love. The Kiddos bought us the cake and card.

It has been an exciting day around here. The Baby is going to be going to preschool close to home home. And then Big Man cut up his hands pretty good today skateboarding. I made him an appointment to bee seen this evening just to cover myself and Big Man's hands. He has lost a piece of skin that is about the size of a nickel. It was bleeding so much that I thought he punstured himeself. We washed him up and it still looks gross but no stitches will be needed. Anyway I am off to make dinner before I head out to the doc's with Big Man.

All fiv Kiddos will be out of the house and in school next year!! WOOHOOOOO!!!!

We are at my Dad's house and I forgot my camera. Whenever Hubby is still home I do not take as many pictures as I should. We have two cameras now and both of us left them on the top shelf at home. I am so upset with myself.

I am coloring my hair. I hope my hair does not fall out. It is kinda scary but I hope the red shows more than it usually does. It was time for a change and this is the first step. I am thinking about making my hair curly again. The whole thing started because I found two gray hairs. I know it is not alot but jeesh I am not ready to start goin gray. Plus red fits me better. :)

I got a new camera over the weekend and love it. It is not the digital SLR like I want but one step under it. I have been having fun. I am learning so much about it and want to take pictures again.

This is the Baby in a new bike helmet. He needs one all the time since he falls on his head so much.
This is Big Man 2 kicking it. He is so cute when he wants to be.
Here is Buddy Lee. He wants to ride his ike to school so he got a helmet too. Now he just needs a bigger bike.

Sunday did not feel like Monday and it as a wonderful day. We had friends over and sat outside late into the night talking. Hubby and three women with Kiddos running around. It was fun relaxing and wonderful. Hubby had a glimpse into my life while he is gone and I think he understands a little bit more of the stress we go through while he is deployed. We covered so many topics and he helped us to understand the why of soemthings also. I do know that having him with us girls last night made me know I am going to miss him even more. He is geting up there in rank but I do not want to be the wife who is not friends with someone because of her husband's rank. I like my friends and need them around before, durning, and after a deployment. Even when Hubby first comes home. It makes it easier for all of us if we kinda conitue on with the routine, even sitting outside til late chatting and laughing.

Training day. Huby has been home allday without having to do his thing. We spent all day together and it feels like Sat. I wonder what tomorrow will feel like and if Sunday will feel like Monday. I hope not. LOL
