DAY 196~
Just over 6 months ago, when Josh deployed, he told me that he would be here for our Anniversary. He made that promise today when he arrived ON our 9th Anniversary.
We weren't expecting him until 7 p.m tonight.My plans were to send the kids to school all day, since daddy wasn't arriving until later. Then I was going to go buy some food, clean up misc. stuff around the house. Then when the kids were out of school,make dinner and get ready.
Well, my plans COMPLETELY change. At 7:40 this morning I got a call from my husband saying he was taking the next flight out from Dallas. I had literally just opened my eyes and was going to get the kids off to school. I was like, what?? Should I send the kids to school? Now remember I was half asleep. The he told me the time, I literally jumped out of bed, it was A LOT sooner then expected. There went my plans for the day, but for a good reason. I was rushing around, ran to the kids room, told them to get ready. Got little man dressed. Then I called my parents to let them know the BIG time difference. And I called, and played phone tag with my friend who was going to be the photographer.
Finally, I had to rush downstairs and fix my hair. Put on my make up, and the long awaited dress that I bought over two months ago. I didn't get the chance to feel the anxious feeling with him coming him. Which was a little disappointed. It just was all complete stress from the time he called, until the 2 hours after when he arrived. I didn't even have time to eat before picking him up, or drink for that matter.
My photographer friend came over and helped fix little ladies hair. Finally, everything was as done as it could be for the about 10 hour earlier arrival.
My friend put the kids in the truck, and I was running around like crazy, from the short amount of time. She got in her vehicle, I got in the truck. I started the truck. Crap, it didn't start, we were already running late. They say life will throw you punches, today it threw three at me!!! So, I hopped out of the truck and was telling my friend it was not starting. Mind you it was just jumped 2 days ago when it was cleaned. So, she parked her car, and put the kids in my SUV for me today. She was a lot of help, and I really appreciated it. And it was her birthday today. So, finally, since we were even later now, it was time to go. FAST!!! Well, I pulled the SUV out today, and closed the garage! It didn't close! It took 4-5 times to get it closed. Meaning getting out of the car today and trying to figure out what was wrong. Then we were off, even later then before.
Thankfully we are not to far from the airport. We just had to rush. Well, on the way, I saw a plane getting ready to land, my thoughts, I think that might be him. Was it? Yes it was!
The big plans were to get a pass to go to where he comes off the plane. Didn't happen. Back up plan, past security check point! Well, that didn't happen either, we were to late. I was truly disappointed on both.
He had called me when we were parking and said he was already landed. I had asked him not to go through security check point yet, well the opposite way out, but that area. He didn't!
So, we are all rushing in the building, getting ready to go up the escalator, and I hear my name. It was him. I'm telling the kids hurry, come here it's daddy as he is coming down the stairs. My friend did get great pictures of this though. So, it did turn out. Instead of getting him at 7 tonight, we had him all day. And he was asleep on the couch, by the time he would have been arriving.
He was able to make it so soon because when he got to Texas, he wanted the next flight out. It just happened to be right away, and was told that he wouldn't be able to make it on time. He rushed through security, taking out his lap top, and taking off his boots. He ran through the airport, a ways, with his boots not tied all the way. And he made it, in time to see us! And boy, was it a nice surprise on our 9th Anniversary. I couldn't have asked for a better present then to have my husband come home and see us for two weeks, on our Anniversary.
What would you do if your husband was deployed 4 times and you were left to raise the children for a year at a time? And moved 3 times in 4 years.Could you do it? This is OUR story of how We have survived 4 deployments and 3 moves in 4 years. Come read our Journey and how is is to be an Army Family. Home is where the Army moves us, from here to there to everywhere...
My husband and I
One of the 4 hardest time's of my life...

My stress is about to come to an end for at least now..
DAY 195~
As I'm writing this blog, I'm completely just tired, and stressed. I have been so busy the last few days giving my house a "good cleaning." In fact, I have been working so hard I Have lost 3lbs since last Thursday, and have had an average of 5 hours of sleep per night since Thursday. It is all catching up to me now! I may not keep my house "perfect" all the time, but when it comes to my husband coming home on "his vacation home", I will try to at least get it to as close to perfect as I can. It is hard though when you clean up, and have 3 children messing it up right behind you, or a dog peeing on your nicely fresh cleaned floors! Ack! But I know, by the time I'm in my husbands arms soon, it will all be nice and clean and I can enjoy spending time with him.
After getting all the kids off to school this morning, I ended up being 20 minutes late to Kick boxing class. Whoops! I really wasn't in the "mood" to go, but I did. And I was still able to get a 1 hour at least, work out in. I ran again also today. I'm up to walking 1 minute running 6 minutes, and I made my mile at 11:05, which is an improvement for me.
Then I came home and had worked on more cleaning, and also my laundry. My laundry and kitchen seem to be the biggest couple of things left, kitchen not so bad, but mainly its the laundry.
After most of our cleaning today, the kids and I made our Welcome home banners for Josh, they are all set to go when he flies in. Little lady wanted to say, "I missed you daddy," and she drew a picture of herself and daddy, little man I wrote on his, "I love you daddy." and he did his 3 year old scribbling on his, plus sister drew a picture of little brother on his sign. Young man wrote, "Welcome home daddy, Happy Anniversary." and drew and Army Picture. And mine, it says, "Happy 9th Anniversary" since when he arrives it will be around then. Well this is it for now, I still need to clean the final half bathroom, which should be easy, and head to bed. I completed my second big assignment for the week so I don't have to worry about it, and it was my final 1,000 word paper. Good night~!

The attack of the bee's, I WON!!!
DAY 194~
Last night I did get off here, and clean 2 full bathrooms of the 3 and a half bathrooms that we have. I ended up in bed around 2 a.m. Then Josh called me to give me some information around 5:21 a.m.
It has been yet another, long crazy day! After little man left on the bus, I took the older two to school. I sat in my car for a few minutes trying to decide if I was going in the school to take care of the issues I have been having with little ladies education. I decided not to, because I was starving. So I came home and ate, and finished getting ready
Then it was time to go and get gas, and pick up little man at preschool. He had a physical today, in order to play sports and be in preschool. Once that was over, I got me a coffee, and a pumpkin muffin to share with him. I tried to also get his shot records, but since the Army is making us go on the Air Force base for appointments, the Air Force base cannot get our shot records from the Army, which is ridiculous. So, it was then time to go.
We then went to Family Dollar, I was looking for a specific item that I saw a friend have, I wanted, they didn't have any left at that store. I ended up buying markers, and a little car for little man since he was good. Then we were off to stop by the Church.
I was suppose to meet up with a lady in order to get the information to make the cards, I thought she said today at noon. I waited 19 minutes, nobody was around, she wasn't calling me, and I didn't have her number. So, we left. She still hasn't called me. But since it is very close to Josh coming home, and I have lots of stuff to do, I'm not going to be able to do that.
Then we were off to Lowes. I was buying the replacement I used to spray the bees in Josh's truck last night when it was dark. I used a whole can on the mirror, that I borrowed from the neighbor, So, I bought new ones to give to her, and a spray thing for the hose. And then we were off to Walmart.
At Walmart, I had to buy Josh's soap, and wipes for the car. And then a new dog tag for our dog. Once that was done it was time to come home, give Johnathan lunch, and clean the kitchen. I later realized I had forgot to eat something for lunch today.
When the older two were home from school, I cleaned Josh's truck. The bee's that I sprayed last night were all dead, about 50 of them. I sprayed the mirror with water to get the dead bees out. Then I cleaned the inside and outside of his truck. While I was working on the inside my neighbors son had came over to see if I wanted it started, that was a definite, Please!!! So, now Josh's truck doesn't have a bees hive in the mirror, it runs, and it is nice and clean. Yay!
Then I had to come in to make dinner, and by the time dinner was over it was time to give the kids a bath. We finished the night for them doing Prayers and tearing of the chain for when Josh is home.
Then I went to fold laundry and put it away. As I was putting the laundry away, Josh called me and told me when he will be here. So, I know, I just can't share because of OPSEC. Finally I had school work to do. I did my normal nightly assignments for each of my two classes, but also completed a "big" assignment earlier then usual, so once the time comes, I can worry about spending the time with Josh.
Now I need to go clean the kids bathroom, and then head to bed. I'm getting very sleepy, Good night!

A nice clean SUV....
DAY 193~
I did get my room cleaned last night, and also talked to Josh via Facebook chat while cleaning my room. And well the closet is clean now to. All I have to do is things like dust, Windex, and vacuum, which shouldn't take to long.
When I woke up, I was joking around with the dog, and asked him, can I have a hug? Just wanting to see what he would do, it really sounded like he said, "huh?" Like he didn't know what I was talking about. Then last night I asked him, if he needed to go outside, and it sounded like in the Scooby Doo voice, that he said, "No!" I had to laugh!
I ended up not volunteering with the walkers today at Church. I woke up with a cold, not only was I not feeling well, I thought it shouldn't be passed on to the young ones. But since, I don't have a lot of direct contact with anybody at Church we still went. And ended up being somewhat late.
When service was over I talked to the Pastor about being Baptized in the next couple of weeks, not sure when, So I have to get back to him on that one.
Then it was time to come home and eat lunch. My plans for today were wash the SUV, the truck, and the dog. Well, 4 hours later, I was able to accomplish washing the SUV. It took so long because I cleaned the inside and outside. On the inside, everything but the carpet. I cleaned the seats windows and everything in between. It may not be perfect, but it is defiantly clean.
I didn't clean the truck though, because not only it took so long to wash the SUV, but some bees have built a nest. And I have been trying to kill them with the spray. I hope by the morning they are all gone, so I can clean the truck. Inside and outside.
When I was done cleaning the SUV it was dinner time. When we were done eating, I took care of the piles on the stairs. The upstairs piles were the ones to come downstairs, and the downstairs to go upstairs. I separated the piles and had Michael take them to the right rooms. Another thing taken care of. Then I cleaned little ladies room, so I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Then it was time to Pray and tear the chain for when Josh is coming home. Which is getting really short. When the kids were in bed, I had to give the dog a bath. He wouldn't get in the tub. So I had to literally pick him up in the air, and put him in the tub. He isn't no small dog. He is heavy. I must be getting stronger, haha. Then I realized, I didn't have a bowl or anything to dump water on him, and I didn't want to move, having him jump out and have to go through that all over. So, I gave him a shower. He was actually good, I made sure to tell him he was a good boy several times and gave him a treat after he was dried off. His bath was in the basement, and the treat was upstairs. So, when we were coming back downstairs so I could do my homework, I noticed he left a present for me. A nice pee trail all the way down the stairs. He must not have thought I didn't have enough to do with the million of things I have to get done. He wasn't so good anymore.
Now that my homework is done, and my blog is almost written, and it is 11:43 p.m. I'm going to go and try to get two full bathrooms cleaned out of the total of 3 and a half bathrooms. That way it is one less then to worry about. Wish me luck! It is getting close to Josh being here, and I just have to get things done. Good Night!

Little Man's night in with Mommy....
DAY 192~
Today I slept in a little bit, then I woke up got ready, and started my yard sale around 9 a.m. It didn't go to well again today. I did make a dollar, off 3 pieces of toddler clothing. Then I closed up!
My oldest had soccer pictures today. So, quickly after the yard sale I grabbed stuff to make peanut butter and honey sandwiches in the car. Then we were off for pictures. He had a game today, but didn't go to that. Once his pictures were over, we went to the car to make our lunch. He didn't go to the game because he had his last guitar lessons for now. He will start guitar again in a month or so, right now it is just to busy with soccer season. The other two kids and I sat in the guitar while young man was practicing, then we went inside for the last few minutes of his practice.
Once guitar was over, it was time to go to the commissary. We only needed a few basic items at the stare. Then we were headed to CYS to leave the older to there. It was little mans night in at home. I must have been a boring date because he fell asleep for awhile. Once he was up we at McDonald's, he had a kids meal, I ordered cheap off the dollar menu. And we watched Beverly Hills chihuahua, I thought he would like watching a movie with talking dogs. After the movie was over he watched some cartoons, then it was time to go pick up the older two.
Before we left though, I looked at my friends pictures from her reunion with her husbands vacation home. On the way to get the kids, it finally hit me that my husband will be here less then a few days. I got tears in my eyes because I was happy for my friend, but excited for us.
Then as my normal tradition I worked on my homework after the kids went to bed. Now, even though it is 11:50 p.m, I think I will go work on my bedroom. Thankfully it is not bad, and just needs some TLC. It will just be nice not to have to worry about one less thing to get done before Josh is home, which is coming up, VERY FAST!!!

helping a friend....
DAY 191~
After taking the older two kids to school, I had yard sale this morning. Another failed attempt, I might try one more time in the morning,and call it good! I really just want to get rid of the changing table. Since, I wasn't doing well with my yard sale I closed up early. Little man and I were off to help a friend get ready for her husbands, "vacation home", by talking to her while she cleaned house, haha! We ended up keeping her company. And ended up with a lot of goodies to, clothes for little man and I, and such. Then little man and I had to come home and get the older two.
A little while after they came home we headed back to help her. I took a wrong turn to ealry and ended up in a maze lost. It was just crazy, finally I had to pull out my gps for help. And we made it to my friends house to talk to her again while she was cleaning. She liked the company while she cleaned.
And now since I did some of my homework, and I'm way tired, I'm off to bed. I only ended up with about 5 hours sleep last night, when usually I like a lot more, and it is 12:21 a.m right now.Good night!

Two Blog Posts in One, OH MY!
DAY 189~
Wow, sorry I didn't write last night. For once I completely forgot. Probably because not a ton happened. I had gone to they gym in the morning with a friend. We worked out our legs, and we ran. I made a mile in 12 minutes 45 seconds, compared to the 15 minutes when we first started. It is an improvement and I only help to better myself from that point. I took a nap after Johnathan came home, he likes to watch t.v, laying by me, it is so sweet. I enjoy those moments. Then, my older two were out of school early yesterday. We worked on some school work for them and pretty much took a lazy day after that. My oldest was suppose to have soccer practice, but it was cancelled because of the rain. Then it was bath night, and tearing the chain for when Josh is home.
I didn't write last night because I was relaxing, and watching some TLC on t.v. I had also fixed my hair. I didn't even remember about my blog until this morning. Whoops. I guess I'm preparing my readers for me going missing for some days during a period of two weeks. When Josh is on his vacation home. I'm not sure now when I will be able to write, but If I disappear again, that is why.
DAY-190
It was another work out day today after the kids were off to school. After getting little man on the bus, and taking the older two to school, I thought I was ready to head to the gym from there. One big problem, I had forgot my tennis shoes and socks at home, because I hat put on slip on shoes. After I grabbed those, I headed off to they gym
It was another personal trainer day. She had us first run our mile. I walked 1 minute, ran 5 minutes. So, I ran a total of 10 minutes, and made my time of 11 minutes 45 seconds. A minute faster then I had done just yesterday. I don't ever run, so running 10 minutes for me is a HUGE improvement, and I only hope to improve. Then it was time to do stuff working on our arms. When that was over I came home to get little man.
My work out friend then came over to pick little man and I up, we headed of to Bath and Body works, her husband will be home on his vacation before Josh gets here. So she needed stuff for that. I picked up some 5 dollar, smell pretty spray, and called it good. Then we went through McDonald's and came home.
I was then waiting for the older two to get home so I could go to the bus stop and get them. When they got home we were headed off to my friends house to help her do some cleaning for about an hour. I had an FRG meeting to get to tonight. I helped her a little bit in her room, and then some in her sons room. Then I had to change clothes and head out. When I got in the car, I realized my i.d was missing, and I was already running late! I had to run home!
On the way back to the house, I saw an ambulance, and a fire truck not far from her house. Someone had been hit by a car, I saw them lying in the road, the medics looked like they had JUST got there and was just starting to take care of this person, just starting to put a neck brace on. I also saw the car that was stopped that accidentally hit them. I hope and Pray both people are okay, the man that was in the road physically and emotionally, and the lady that was driving the car, emotionally okay.
I made it home, and went in the house and looked for my i.d. Still running late. It wasn't there. I locked up the house, and went to look in the car again. It was underneath the passenger seat in the front! ACK! I was super stressed and running late. I told the kids I hoped CYS hadn't fed the kids dinner yet for the daycare. I told them we had to hurry and go in because we were late. I dropped off the older two, went to take my youngest, and guess what?? The FRG leader came walking in of all people, my stress levels had gone down by a million! She said it started between 6:30-7, by this time it was like 6:45 p.m. I thought it started at 6, and I thought I was way late. Thankfully I was not.
Tonight was Bingo night. They hadn't even started when I arrived. They gave our prizes, but I was not lucky to win any. It was still a fun "Girl's night out" for our Company though. When it was over I went back to get the kids and head home. It was automatic bed time, nothing else.
Then I came downstairs and spent about 45 minutes finishing the kids playroom. I'm glad it is done. That was the last major cleaning project. Now it is deep cleaning, and getting the cars and the dog washed before Josh comes home.
Then I did my homework. And I talked to Josh via Facebook chat as I was doing my homework. I really can't wait to see him, but yet, I don't know if It really has hit me that I will have the man of my dreams, a.k.a, my husband in my arms next week.
Oh, I did forget to mention on here, I just added to my stress levels a ton more. Since I'm suppose to be cleaning the next few days until Josh is here, and next week is the final week of my two classes, guess what I did, said I would make thank you card for church for something. Ugh, Not sure what I was thinking. Hopefully I can accomplish everything. For some reason God thinks I can, so I can do this! Also, I will be doing some more volunteering occasionally, this time it is Administrative work, when they need me.
Off to bed I go, as it is 1:50 in the morning, on a Friday, and my kids are up in 5 hours, ack! I wasn't able to start my cleaning though until almost 11 because of bingo night, and some other stuff, but I'm headed to bed now! Good night!
Wow, sorry I didn't write last night. For once I completely forgot. Probably because not a ton happened. I had gone to they gym in the morning with a friend. We worked out our legs, and we ran. I made a mile in 12 minutes 45 seconds, compared to the 15 minutes when we first started. It is an improvement and I only help to better myself from that point. I took a nap after Johnathan came home, he likes to watch t.v, laying by me, it is so sweet. I enjoy those moments. Then, my older two were out of school early yesterday. We worked on some school work for them and pretty much took a lazy day after that. My oldest was suppose to have soccer practice, but it was cancelled because of the rain. Then it was bath night, and tearing the chain for when Josh is home.
I didn't write last night because I was relaxing, and watching some TLC on t.v. I had also fixed my hair. I didn't even remember about my blog until this morning. Whoops. I guess I'm preparing my readers for me going missing for some days during a period of two weeks. When Josh is on his vacation home. I'm not sure now when I will be able to write, but If I disappear again, that is why.
DAY-190
It was another work out day today after the kids were off to school. After getting little man on the bus, and taking the older two to school, I thought I was ready to head to the gym from there. One big problem, I had forgot my tennis shoes and socks at home, because I hat put on slip on shoes. After I grabbed those, I headed off to they gym
It was another personal trainer day. She had us first run our mile. I walked 1 minute, ran 5 minutes. So, I ran a total of 10 minutes, and made my time of 11 minutes 45 seconds. A minute faster then I had done just yesterday. I don't ever run, so running 10 minutes for me is a HUGE improvement, and I only hope to improve. Then it was time to do stuff working on our arms. When that was over I came home to get little man.
My work out friend then came over to pick little man and I up, we headed of to Bath and Body works, her husband will be home on his vacation before Josh gets here. So she needed stuff for that. I picked up some 5 dollar, smell pretty spray, and called it good. Then we went through McDonald's and came home.
I was then waiting for the older two to get home so I could go to the bus stop and get them. When they got home we were headed off to my friends house to help her do some cleaning for about an hour. I had an FRG meeting to get to tonight. I helped her a little bit in her room, and then some in her sons room. Then I had to change clothes and head out. When I got in the car, I realized my i.d was missing, and I was already running late! I had to run home!
