Good morning. I'm supposed to be doing the dishes but it is more fun in here. Where is everybody at on this happy Tuesday morning? Hopefully you haven't all turned into popsicles. That would be no good.
Today is a good day. Not doing anything exciting. Just a Tuesday. I'm good with that. So it was the saddest sweetest thing last night. It was about 3:30 in the morning and Addie comes strolling into our room with her little stuffed tiger, just like in the cartoons, and wanted to come into our bed. Dh wasn't having it and was being mean...well, not mean just middle of the night "No, go back to bed" and it seemed mean. So I gave her some love and told her she needed to go back to bed and boy that little girl is smart, evenin the middle of the night. I had brought her into our room the night before because her ear was hurting and she wouldn't relax and settle down. So she reminded me that I brought her in the night before. So I told her why and that she needed to go back to bed so she told me her ear hurt. Aaaaaaah! So I loved on her more and if I could have snuck her into bed and loved on her all night I would have but I set her on the ground and sent her off to bed. It was so sad watching her go back to bed. Is it bad to love having the kids in my bed? I love it. They snuggle up to me and are so sweet. But they have to sleep in their own beds.
It was kinda fun last night. I called a friend of mine who was on vacation from Iraq. She works as a civilian over there. So we had her on speaker phone and learned how to use my webcam so that she could see the kids and gave her a tour of my house and stuff. We knew her and her daughter from when we were stationed in Italy and have remained close. Her daughter even came and lived with us for a semester of college, although she was 18 and acting really dumb at the time, but we still love her. It was fun having the whole family get to sit and chat and talk to her together before she left this morning and then I had to yell at her for crying.
I hate her being in Iraq but hopefully she'll be back before summer. Looks like May.
Well, I have to go do those dishes.
Chris - frizzy hair doesn't look too bad in a ponytail, right? Stay warm.
AndreaNyx - That's awesome that you can earn yourself a free membership. What is a child minding gym?
