So Mother nature... are we safe to actually put away our winter stuff now that it's the middle of May???? Sheesh..
It has been almost 2 weeks since we dropped the hero of our family off, and he has FINALLY made it to his destination. If anyone would like to send goodies or a letter or whatever else, get in touch with me for his address. He likes to get where he's going and scope things out before I send out a box. For instance, the PX/shopping area has a very limited stock. They don't carry his deodorant, so I will be sending a ton of that soon before it gets any warmer outside! He left with 3 sticks. I personally think he may eat deodorant over there instead of the wonderful dfac chow they have available over there. Either way, he says he'll be out of that soon. I feel bad that he's headed over going into the dead heat of summer. Also the fact that he's in the middle of nowhere is a bit unsettling.
He called me from somewhere in the middle of the night, and then decided to facetime! Crazy man, I'm glad he loves me when I'm not all gussied up!! I'm pretty sure he just talked to me in the dark for a few minutes before it dawned on me that I'd have to turn a lamp on for him to see. He's gonna have to figure out our time difference soon, or I'm gonna have to be much more flexible with my sleep schedule. haa! He has no wireless internet at his new location, so he'll have to use the MWR for computer and phone time. He said he couldn't use the phone unless he was calling a land line, so I went and got a phone today. First I tried out my old one I dug out of the closet from my dad's stuff. You know the one that you could see through... I thought it was possible it still worked, but no dice. It's funny that we've had a number through comcast since we moved here almost a year ago, but I'm just now getting a phone and figuring out my number for it.
I was able to talk to him for a few minutes on FB earlier today. Since he has no wireless internet, looks like our conversations will be a bit more limited than we thought originally. He seemed to be at the very least relieved to be at his destination, and getting settled in. He was exhausted and doing laundry since all of his clothes were wet... He says he already misses me doing his laundry. I told him I missed it too.... NOT!!
Our day was good. We're settling into a routine without daddy, and getting excited about school being over soon so we can come spend a little time at home. Lex got to go hang at Laura's with her friend Emma & walk to school this morning while I went to the doc. Then I went on my search for a phone, finding an otterbox cover 25% off for Kyle's kindle! score!! Then after school, we cooked up dinner early, and hung out with the neighbors & their kiddos. Taking advantage of the beautiful weather before all the crazy heat hits and the bugs become unbearable. Both kiddos were bathed & in bed by 9 ish... I spent a little time cleaning my kitchen & doing laundry. Now time for bed. Trying to wait up a bit for that late night phone call, but I'm probably not gonna make it....
