Almost There

It's just around the corner and it's all I can think about. He's coming home! Yay! Along with my pure excitement over having my husband back I feel nervous. It's weird. He's been gone for what seems like quite a long time. Has he changed? What's it going to be like to have him around again? It was weird when he left too, and now that I'm getting used to being alone, it's over. Now it'll be getting used to him being around. It'll no longer be what I want to do and when I want to do it, he's so picky! lol

The kids are finally feeling better. Knock on Wood.... Jacey is even doing fine after her shots. I am still not doing any better. I can't breath yet. My head still hurts like I am getting another infection, but I'm on antibiotics so I should be fine. (making mental note to go take antibiotic after this post) My main issue though is I'm so exhausted. I can't get over it... major fatigue.

I haven't heard from hubby all week. Bummer I know. Next week he goes on a week long FTX, so I really hope he can call this weekend. After his FTX they are basically done. The last week is turning in equiptment and completing paperwork and stuff for out processing. Then we come, and steal him back! lol

Well it's late, and I have a majorly messy home to get in order, I have a jam packed saturday. Won't have time to get anything done, so it's now or never.

Drained!

I wish I could say I was recovering well, but I feel so yucky still! I'm exhausted, and any activity that requires energy is draining. I get so tired I shake. I'm thinking I might have gotten strep from Gavin. He started running a fever last saturday. Today he still was talking funny and had very swollen tonsils. I took him in this evening and he got a pos strep test. Jacey's appointment is tomorrow, and I'm thinking while I'm at it I better swing by the insta care and get tested myself. I thought the pain was from surgery.... but strep would make sense I guess. Would explain why I'm so tired too.

We've hit another road block in our efforts to tranfer Dustins assignment to Lewis. Seem the person in charge of his assignment didn't quite understand what we were asking him to do, and processed it as a "request". It's not a "request", it's a medical need that we not go to Irwin. I simply tried to speed up the process and help make things easier for him by doing the research to find out that Lewis is a great place to try first.

Ugh! So I spent my day feeling crappy, taking care of sick kids, making phone calls, leaving voice mails, and feeling like I got no where! I hope I hear something back soon! Only two weeks left!

My Poor Nose!

Today was splint removal day! Yay, or yuck. It was gross. They were huge, 3"long. I had to have a few stitches removed as well. I also found out I have "a zipper of stitches" up my septum, could explain the pain huh? I'm just thrilled to be on the road to recovery. He put me on two weeks "light duty". Did he forget I have 3 kids? I think so.
Yesterday I went on an old navy adventure for the boys. It's nice that they wear the same size, I just bought a few of everything and they can sort out who wants what. I love their sales, 200 dollars and they are set for spring and summer! I did throw in a few things for Jace, but not much.
I've ben on a little shopping spree trying to get things for the new house. I have a list, it keeps growing though. Hopefully I can knock out the rest with out too much damage to the checking account. Who am I trying to kid?
I got to talk to Dustin tonight for a while. He is beginning to think we won't get this assignment changed in time and will end up in the desert. I'm trying really hard to be okay with that. He wants to move us in with his parents for our last month here. That way we can save up a bit and make sure we have everything we need for the new place. He wants to make sure I get all the silly things I think I 'need'. He spoils me :)
The only problem with moving is it will be in one month! He told me to start clearing out all the stuff I'm not taking to the new house. All of it- he wants it gone. This means, I'm taking down bunkbeds and cleaning out the storage, and everything, by my self! How fair is that? He'll miss it all! Sometimes I wonder if he plans these things out to his advantage.
So now I'm in garage sale mode. I worked on the kids room a bit tonight. I'm wondering how much of his old clothes I should get rid of. He's lost 50lbs. I doubt anything in his closet is going to fit. Oh darn, more shopping! It's just that D is so attatched to his things. I might have to wait for him to get home to do anything with his clothes.
My big plan for tomorrow is, well, it's Logan's birthday! YAY my big 11 year old! But I am going to try making a few phone calls to the EFMP offices at Irwin and Lewis to see if anyone can help get things moving along (in the direction I want). Hopefully I'll have some luck.
Time to do some dishes and get things put together so i can hop into my warm bed, it's chilly tonight.... I hate the snow! Maybe deserts not too bad.....
