Letters to my Hero

Okay dear this is totally going to sound like I am complaining but I promise I am laughing about it. It is almost 8pm and all kids are in bed and Michael is asleep. I am having dinner. Can you guess what it is. YOUR RIGHT, popcorn and mountain dew. The kids had left over pork chops and tater tots. Okay back to our day. I slept great, the cat woke up a couple of times and demanded a rub down. Ooh my I wish you were here this morning because the cat tried to jump out of Faiths bedroom window. We got chores done and most of school done before lunch and headed out to see a friend. The cat is just about crazy right now, she will not let me out of her site. She is talking nonstop and as you can tell by the picture she no longer lays on her stomach.
Thank you so much for calling me today, I am so sorry you had to call twice. I thought I was doing good about keeping the phone with me. I have not gone to the bathroom since without my phone. Today I tried to teach Grace that she should tell people you are at work and not in Iraq she was not convinced and was upset that I would want her to lie. I called your mom and dad and told them I talked to you, your mom sounded good. She said your dads sugar has been down for several days. She sounded good rob, she really did.
Okay I told you yesterday that I took the bathroom handle off yesterday well today Faith managed to get herself locked in our bathroom. Then Michael went in our room and locked the door so he could go into our bathroom and shower only he shut the bathroom door and was locked in. he did not totally lose it. I was proud of him. When we were out we stopped at the commissary and picked up a few things and then stopped at Wal-Mart and picked up pictures. I had the picture of you and your parents printed out and am going to send it to your mom for mother’s day.
Well baby I am going to go, the house is quiet and it is exactly 8:10 so I think I am going to try to go to bed early. I really think I am going to wake up to kittens tonight. We have a 9am appointment in the morning and then home for the day.
I love you so much and cannot wait for you to be able to call again. I will leave yahoo on in case you come on line. I cannot believe I am going to bed and it is 3am there. At least it is dark at the same time. By the way I did better today than yesterday. I did not lose it, I did not look at one sad youtube video or listen to one soldier song. Over all it was a good day.

Strawberry picking

For weeks we have seen signs for Strawberry farms. So the other day we decided to find one. I think we picked the perfect one and I think we found one of our new favorite spots. The strawberries are only $1.30 a pound if you pick them yourself and of course the kids would have it no other way. I came home and quickly made 4 dozen strawberry muffins because I knew if I did not they would be gone in a couple of hours. They had wonderful tomatoes and asperagus and local honey. I am sure we will be going back this week. We are still using our topsy turvey and it has several small strawberries on it right now but it will never be able to produce enough for my babies. We only collected one bucket and half a purse full. And they only ate a couple in the field.

To my Hero

It is almost 8 and the kids are in bed. I convinced them to go to bed at 7:30 and said they could read for 30 minutes. We had a amazing day. You will not believe it but Michael was done with school before 3pm and Faith was done before that even with her reading. Today has been a crazy day. Someone locked our bathroom door and I could not get it unlocked so I took the whole knob off. Hopefully that will be fixed before you get home. I made the kids go for a walk with me this morning. Right around the corner was this cute lab and he literally walked with us the entire way and then hung out in the yard for a while. We do not have kittens YET but I think we will soon. Today she wanted me to hold her all day but she did not just lay there she kept flopping over on her back and nudging me in the face constantly. And then guess what she did SHE BIT MY CHIN. Not painful but it scared me. Then she was making all these noises. I thought for sure she would have had the babies by now.
I have done pretty good today, I did lose it in the garage for a few minutes when I heard the planes fly over. They were so low. It just reminded me that I have no idea where you are right now or what you are doing. I always wonder what you are doing. Did you eat today, are you getting along with everyone. I know it sounds silly but you are in a new place with people you do not like. Did you sleep well last night. I cannot even remember what time it is there.
You will be proud of me I woke up with a headache and guess what? I TOOK ALLERGY MEDS. I am trying hard to stay healthy. I called the phone company and learned how to forward the phone so when you call I will not miss you.
Tonight we had spaghetti for dinner and I made 3 coffee cakes for later. Last night I cut out more camera strap covers and will probably finish them up tomorrow. We are going to try to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I cannot believe how low we have gotten.
I love you baby and hope that you can call soon but completely understand it is not your issue. This last picture was of Grace in bed tonight. She did not get a nap today so it took her a second to fall asleep.
