My Mother's Day

Although, I didn't have the kind of Mother's Day I would have hoped for my Hubby didn't forget about me either. The morning he left he sent me out to get us some breakfast bowls from the freezer in our garage. Sort of an Army style last date before he was off to his 'Big Adventure.' I headed out there and sitting on top of our deep freezer was this.....

and a very sweet card, which I didn't read until he had left. Probably a good thing cause I bawled the whole way through it, but it was so nice knowing that he hadn't forgotten me in all the craziness that is the life of getting ready to go away with the Army. He also called me this morning or rather yesterday morning at one of the few locations that he has reception to wish me 'Happy Mother's Day.' It was nice, but it was sad since he could only talk for a moment and I wanted more. But isn't that how it always is as a MilSpouse when your spouse is gone? We love whatever we get from them as far as communication goes, but its never enough and we'd do just about anything to have more. Then we get to deal with the uncertainty of when they'll call back and since my cell phone is on the fast decline (a very bad thing in this day and age) I can't even send him texts. Anyway, it really wasn't too bad of a day. Although I would have preferred something fancier for dinner than Tostinos frozen pizza, but with two picky toddlers and me, why make something fancy and expensive? There wasn't. So, maybe my Hubby will treat me out when he gets back? Happy Mother's Day.

Ambitious or Trying Too Hard

I can't decide whether I'm being ambitious and finding homes for things that have long needed them. Plus doing all that cleaning that one always puts off cause you just hate doing it or if I'm just trying way too hard to pretend I'm not here alone with my kids. My Hubby told me do some fun stuff. Fun stuff? With WHOM do I do fun stuff with? I know a select few people on post from Church and that's it. Most of the girls I know and hope/try to be friends with say I live too far away to bother coming to spend time with. (My guess is I'm really not much of a priority, they have other girlfriends they'd rather do stuff with.) Oh well I guess, can't really change that. So, I've been busy over the last 24 hours. I've unloaded about ten boxes that have been sitting in my garage and other various parts of my house needing to be put away. Now granted they aren't all put away but they've been compiled and narrowed down. Right now, I'm sorting my books because they are everywhere and I'm actually putting them in on our computer so I know what we have and they will sort them for me. I know I'm crazy, right? I'm lonely. Somebody come rescue me from my boredom! If not, my Hubby might come home and wonder whose house he's in!

I hope you all had a really amazing Mother's Day. Mine wasn't all bad. I didn't get anything fancy since my kids are 3, 2 and 9 weeks. We had Tostinos frozen pizzas for dinner and watched AFV. Exciting, huh? I know you are all amazing mother's and you all deserve the best. I hope you got it. Love you all!
