So today is my first taste of having no husband. He left last night for weekend duty and will be back tonight, then he leaves tomorrow for good. Well, not for good but until June. So how have I used my time today? Well, I started out cleaning our bedroom, doing laundry, cleaning the bathrooms and organizing stuff. Then I got tired and I've been sitting here for the last couple hours eating chocolate and watching tv and surfing the internet. Bah.
***************************
I figured out how to get compliments on how you look. Don't wear makeup for a couple weeks, and then when you want to get noticed: put some makeup on! The compliments come pouring in, its amazing!
***************************
I need to brush my teeth.
***************************
But I did shower today. Yay!
***************************
We still haven't decided on a name for this baby. It is driving me crazy! We had a really hard time with the last one too, almost up to when he was born before we finally figured out what we wanted to name him. But this time I really wanted to have it done before my husband left since I'm not sure how often I'm going to get to talk to him before the baby's even born. Do you think he'll be mad if I just choose my favorite, since he hasn't come up with anything?
***************************
I've been watching too many decorating shows. I have a really bad itch to decorate! Hopefully soon, I can get some of these ideas out of my head and they'll turn out amaaaaazing!
***************************
I figured out that I have an opinion about EVERYTHING. And I wish I didn't. I wish I could see a person walking down the street and not have to think about what they're doing or wearing or whatever. Why won't my brain turn off?
***************************
My son is a biter. He keeps biting or pushing or smacking other kids, (and sometimes adults--I know! Its horrible!) and I don't know how to stop it! I mean honestly, every kid goes through a hitting stage, but my girls were waaaay easier to break. He just doesn't seem to get it--it doesn't matter if we tell him no, if we show him how to be touch nicely, if we talk to him about it, if we yell and scream, if we bit him back. He. does. not. get. it. Have any of you had this problem with your kids? What worked for you? Do I need to buy him a Hannibal Lector mask or what?
***************************
We went and saw "Avatar" the other day, as our sort of last hazah! before husband leaves, it would've been completely amazing except my husband got motion sickness watching it! Isn't that so cruddy?! But I really did enjoy the movie so much, can't wait for it to come out and watch it again...the only thing is, I'm a little concerned about myself. Is it normal for me to be attracted to the big blue cat like people?! Because I think the guy was hot. Seriously.
***************************
Okay, okay, I know this went on way too long, but thanks for letting me get all that off my chest! Next post hopefully will not be about me spending the next two weeks curled up in the fetal position missing my husband. Keep your fingers crossed! (Actually, I KNOW the next post won't be about that, because trying to picture myself in the fetal position is pretty hilarious, since I have a nice big belly in the way of doing that...maybe I'll spend the next two weeks in a semi-curled position, or hiding in a closet. A big closet.)
O come to the bowling alley and let us ADORE him

I read somewhere that James Cameron basically created character that he would want to have sex with, so I guess it's totally normal.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll spend the next weeks blogging a lot so we can all offer you a cyber shoulder to cry on. Lots of changes for you right now but I see you haven't lost your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteso are you due when the hubs is gone?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the female blue chick in Avatar is kinda hot too. It feels weird seeing that all typed out. Gonna go take a Silkwood shower now.
ReplyDeleteRemember, you can email me and send me your phone # and I'll talk you through it --or we can both whine on the phone together. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteI would surely miss my husband too if he had to be gone that long --especially with little children to take care of. but you are a STRONG women, don't forget that. Pretend you are a pioneer woman (with a micro wave and tv) and your hubs has left on his horse to find you new "homestead" and you have to stay behind and "take care of the yung-uns"
I know, I have been reading too many books.
re-decorating or just plain decorating is FUN
You are a strong and amazing woman. I think I would have a harder time with the anticipation of my hubby leaving.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this will help, but a friend of mine went through the same thing a couple of years ago when her husband went into the army. I remember talking to her about it after he got back. She relied heavily on her family while he was gone, but she said that she grew more as a mother and a daughter of God during that time than any other time in her life. It wasn't easy, but in the end, she considered it worth it.
I don't know if that is what you wanted to hear or not, so be annoyed with me if you must! I'll keep you in my prayers.
And, being the terrible person that I am, I would totally take advantage of his indecision and name the baby whatever I wanted! But, I'm a brat like that! :)
Oh girl where have I been that I haven't been clicking on your blog. It must have been eaten by my reader. Good luck in the next few weeks/months. I cant remember ifyour hubby is doing army or police. I know you guys were looking into both, as did my hubby which is what I thought was so funny.
ReplyDeleteI'll be poppin in her alot more now that I realize I need to somehow get your blog to show up again.
We had a really small list of boy names so I could only imagine with the second how much harder it'd be. Maybe thats what I'll tell people when they ask why we aren't having any more kids. Sorry just couldn't think of any other names. haha.
So much on your mind... don't worry the little man will have a name, it will come to you... and I say if hubby doesn't come up with anything good go ahead and name the little man what you want!!!
ReplyDeleteIt just gets better and better around here, doesn't it?
