My husband was supposed to depart a week ago. The little man and I are so happy that we got another week with Daddy, and now it looks like that will continue into two weeks! It's been really great having him home, right on the day when I was starting to feel a little empty and very bored, the day before I get in "the Zone" and start my own schedule and get used to a deployment. That's the good side of the Army not knowing their butts from their elbows. However, as many spouses feel I'm sure--if they HAVE to go, can they just get going already and get this over with?!?!
The past weekend has been relaxing, not much going on, the snowy tundra continues, and although I was hoping to escape it, and go downstate to my parents house, having my husband home a little longer is good too. Since the week began, he's been hogging my phone (he had his turned off since he THOUGHT he'd be gone by now) trying to figure out when he's leaving. One guy tells him one thing, another guy tells him another, and so on. In the mean time, I'm trying to plan a birthday party for our son, figure out when I'm going to my parents house, eat breakfast and get dressed, decide whether or not I'm going to stock up on groceries for the next couple weeks or not, because I'm not going to if I won't be here! On top of that, I cannot find my camera, and if we do go downstate to visit the family, I need my packages to come in the mail because I ordered some more interview clothing, and I don't want it sitting in the snow all week! I also need my phone back because I'm frantic about this camera and I need to find out if I left it at either parents house, the last time I was there!
First world problems.
Looks like he's leaving in the next few days (can't say much in detail on the internet, for those reading and wondering about specifics) and if he doesn't, we still won't know when!! HAHAHA! Hopefully we'll get better good-bye pics this time, if I can find my camera!
I'm really looking foreword to the Welcome Home ceremony in 9 months, those are the best! Now that we are in the home state, all the family can come witness it as well. :)
Last night, was one of the cutest, fun, fantastic and amazing nights with my boy. As I was putting him to bed, I sang our usual FOUR bed time songs: "Jesus Loves Me," "Jesus Loves the Little Children," "Lord's Army," and "Sunshine." He decided for the first time that he wanted to sing along with me! It was THE CUTEST and I was so PROUD hearing him sing those words, and just couldn't help marveling at how smart he is for knowing all the words. Then he just continued to be his silly self and make up words or sounds that went along with the tunes, and I would tickle him every time which caused more laughing and well, his laugh is my favorite. <3
I will try and capture this on video soon. It seems that right now, he still feels a bit silly singing and so he may not do it on camera.
Proud Mother moments, I never thought they'd happen to me at one point in my life. Now they are happening every single day. Even if he does make me want to sell him at some points. Three is definitely better and worse than 2.
I'm off to watch Disney Jr. with my little crazy nut.
