Another weekend down!

Saturday I was plagued with sinus headaches the majority of the day. I really didn't mind, it gave me a reason to lay around with my phone in my hand while I waited for Dustin's call. I also enjoyed a great nap, still phone in hand. I got up to discover a messy house, like usual. If I'm out of the family room for any amount of time... it's a wreck once I return.

I showered and got everyone dressed, in green. We headed out to a friends house for her annual St. Particks Day Party. My kids love to go there, and fortunately for me, they are a military family. Needless to say there were many other military families there as well. Not army like us, but airforce. Still... close enough.

It's nice to be around a group of people who know first hand what I'm going through. They're also much farther along in the process and have great advice for me. Whew, thank goodness for friends and cutting loose! I have made many a friend at these parties.

Today, since we partied hard last night, we tried to sleep in. Getting Gav and Jay to sleep past 7 on weekends is like pulling teeth, but today it was 8 before I heard them up. Logan and I slept in much longer. Gav and Jay must have been super tired, because they faught all day! I'm ready to put them in a ring and let them have it out. Only problem is I have a feeling that 28lb Jay would take 80lb Gav no prob.

I did the minimal today, dishes, picked up a bit, cooked, bathed. That's it, oh... and I waited! lol The waiting paid off though when with one hour left, my phone rang! We didn't have much time to just 'chat'. We had much business to discuss. How boring! I deal with the business end of running this house on a daily basis, so really I don't want to spend an hour talking to him about it all. I want to hear cute things like how much he misses me! :)

He agreed to ask for Ft Lewis after I gave him some info on our choices. I am not sure he was convinced, but he's going with it, I'm sure mostly to please me. Let's just hope his DS lets him go to meet with the person in charge of assignments in time.

About 20 minutes after we got off the phone, my cell rang again, but with a tenn. number. I was about to hop in the shower so I ignored it, thinking if it was important they'd leave a message. Right after, as I was starting the water, my house phone rang, machine picks up...it's hubby! So I ran to get it. He was sitting with his DS (so I'm assuming on her phone) and needed to know his AKO user name and password. I gave it to him. He calls back ten minutes later, it wasn't working. So I hopped on and reset it, so he could get in. They were trying to see if he'd been reassigned yet. I never did hear back, so more waiting.

It dawned on me tonight how fast this was coming to an end, and how quickly things will get busy again. I need to invest in some new rubber maid totes, and begin some of the packing process. Yes, I know the army will pack and move for us.... but not with my house like this! I need to do some major cleaning out of drawers, and closets, and cabinets. It's time to throw out things that are just occupying space. Good thing my Mom is coming to visit for a week! Upside is I need to make some final decissions on furniture and bedding for the kids, and that excites me! I love to shop! Yay shopping!

I'm very hopeful that this week will be great, my last week before surgery! I also hope that I get a few more phone calls from hubby. It really sucks to have no contact for weeks at a time. **crosses fingers**
