Well, it's been a week today. My army wife friends and I agree the first week or two are pretty much the hardest, then you kind of settle in to your own routine without daddy. It's tough when the man of the house is adored by all of us, and he is what our lives usually around. We're that weird old fashioned family who usually waits on daddy to get home, and we sit at the table to eat dinner together most of the time. So I'm past the first few days of random frozen crap for dinner, and were back to dinner at a decent time at the table together. I think I may screw up a lot... But I like to think that one day, my kiddos will look back and appreciate that I did make the effort to keep their bellies full with home cooked food & not mcd's every night. That's one thing my mom always did. I remember dinner at home way more than eating out or grabbing junk.
Again with the intention to getting back into a routine, Lexie was bathed & put in her own bed tonight at bedtime. I don't mind her sleeping with me, but my bed is one place where she's not welcome when Mark is home. Not only because she sleeps like a ninja on constant defense, but I think our bed is for us only unless its a special circumstance... So I'm not sure yet about what the boundaries should be while he is gone this time. Last time she was a baby, so it was a lot different.
All in all, we had a great day. Took some food to the school for the teacher appreciation luncheon, then hung out with the neighbors until it was time to walk to school, yay for beautiful weather!! Then it was more girl talk and walking and another park trip with the kiddos this afternoon. We're soaking in the amazing weather while we can! Home to cook dinner & fight a bit with my unruly child who was being quite a snot... Then back outside to torture our kiddos with some dead power wheels... So not done on purpose, but couldn't help laughing our way to better abs ;) showers/bath, and everyone is in bed. My house is peaceful tonight.
I pray my hubby's day as he's beginning it is easy & productive. He enjoys staying busy to pass the time quickly. We had a pretty quick chat earlier, (at the end of his day) and he was a bit stressed, so if you're reading & praying..... Keep on keeping on! Thanks y'all! To any of you reading, it's nice to see the numbers go up and to think if even half of those people say a quick prayer for my hubby, then he's got a serious shield of protection! <3 goodnight
