ET...and he's home.

It's a little bit of a blur.  Thursday afternoon the boys came home from school and worked on posters for Daddy.  They skipped football practice because they were too excited.   They must have asked a million times when we were going to leave for the...

330am

It's 330 am.  I am awake.

I have heartburn and the baby is awake inside my belly...but I'm sure I'm up because today is a big day.

Funny enough... I really don't think I will believe Josh is home until he literally is in sight.  In fact, yesterday morning the Navy made his...

3-2-1

Quick update. The plumbing situation is fixed.  Monday morning they came and pumped the clog from the septic system, fixed something with the filter, and now there is no disgusting poop water in my shower.

Check.

Josh will either be home very late tomorrow night or...

Poo Party

I hope all of the moms had a great Mother's Day.  I think in order for me to keep a positive outlook, I probably need to re-evaluate what counts as a great Mother's Day.

I got to spend an hour sitting on my porch with my mom.  That was nice.  My boys gave me cards...

Mother's Day Simple

It's Mother's Day.  I'm sitting on the couch wrapped in a nice blanket, drinking coffee.  It is cloudy and I am grateful because I got super sun burnt on Friday, then I overheated on Saturday watching the kids' football games.   I wore pants to cover...

Baby camping....

I finally slept a little better.  I opened a window and it cooled my room off a lot.  Although temperature is a factor, I truly think anticipation is the disrupter of my sleep.  Josh will be here this time next week.  Worse case he will...

garden birth....

The past few nights, my sleep hasn't been great.  I have heartburn and can't seem to fall into deep sleep.  I feel like I am dreaming while I am awake and hours just pass with no rest.   Figure this could be pregnancy or anticipation of the upcoming...

beach body....

Yesterday I spent a few hours in the sun.  I took my computer and my phone out to my back deck and did my afternoon work in a bikini top and shorts.  Goal was to get a little tan so I am not so pasty white when Josh gets home next week.

I was doing a good job...

t minus....

All of a sudden, the days are moving quickly.

In my head everything is still far away...Josh's return...baby girl's arrival.
But those major events aren't hundreds of days away anymore.  Josh will be back at the end of next week...and I am 35 weeks pregnant today.

Sunday was...

Sucker punched

Logan was attacked at the playground at recess.  The kid choked him and then punched him multiple times in the face.  I guess the kid came out of nowhere and grabbed him from behind.

When I picked Logan up, he was very upset.  He only wanted to talk to dad...

A Coach for Bonny...

You guys all know I love coaching.  It is my professional passion as well as something I utilize for myself regularly.   Well... is seems only right that I get my Bonny Bear a coach.

On Monday we are starting with a dog trainer...a really good one. ...

Like a bridge...

I have continued with my phone promise.  Every morning, I am phone-free for 1 hour.   The habit is starting to stick.  Sometimes I think about getting it to listen to a podcast or something, but then I don't.  I know that will be the beginning of...
