Day 15

When I got our land line phone, I explained to the kiddos what it was & not to play with it, but answer if it rings since it would be daddy.  Well, daddy decided he could use whatever phone he wanted & call my cell phone.  Lexie has been so disappointed that she hasn't gotten to answer the regular phone, until this morning.  Daddy had a chance to call her on it right before she left for school, and you wouldn't believe the excitement that child exuded!  For now, that's the easiest way to make her happy, hearing from daddy, and using or eating his "stuff".   I got her OJ yesterday, and after the excited shriek of excitement because I bought "daddy's OJ", she claimed she's going to drink it all before he gets home.  I sure hope she does...

He's doing good.  I was way off when I thought he was in extreme heat already.  Apparently he's around a bunch of mountains & it's chilly.  He's requesting a blanket.  I'm back to my theory that he's obviously going to be eating deodorant.  I did send some off today.  Four sticks of that, and his computer & hard drive so he has movies to watch in his "cage", as he calls it.
I had to pause from writing because he just called to talk to Kyle...

Laura and I ran our errands together today & then went for a quick lunch instead of our usual gym time.  The best part of the day was driving  down the road & seeing this guy eating a huge carrot.  Maybe it was one of those moments where you just had to be there... but that was hilarious!  Who digs through the fridge in the morning and grabs a giant carrot to take for lunch?!  Sheesh... Topped the day off with some outside play/chat time with my neighbor buddies & kids. We got in a little later than I wanted, but got Lex a bath & ate leftover red beans & rice from last night.  Kyle finished up some reading work, and they both went to bed.  Mama had to watch the season finale of Grey's Anatomy.

 Not sure about our weekend plans yet... We'll have a busy day tomorrow!  Emma's coming to hang out in the morning before school, and Lexie is the leader tomorrow.  That means mama will probably go to school with her.  She likes me to come watch her get to work the board :)  I'm gonna miss her being in pre-k!

Missing my love... AND almost punched a guy at the post office today for calling me a "rookie" because I asked him the best way to write the last part of the address in on my customs form.  In my head, he had a black eye and maybe a slight ass chewing for assuming ... but I politely laughed it off, and just explained that it had been a couple years since I had to fill one out.   Now that I think about it, maybe that totally should have been taken as a compliment.  That I looked young enough to be married to one of these young soldiers on their first deployment.  Hmmm

Off to bed, goodnight!
