ICK ICK ICK

So I don't really know why but tonight I just have this huge...... DEPLOYMENT SUCKS feeling!

I am married to the most wonderful man ever! He is such a fantastic person in every way. Granted we have both made our fair share of stupid mistakes, granted we've both taken our time together for granted..... But damn it all I'm TIRED of going to bed alone every night (well just me and the dog that is.... until the 3 y/o ends up in bed w/ us at whatever 0darkhundred hour of the night she decides to join)!

Sleeping alone night after night really isn't NORMAL in a GOOD marriage. And while I'll be the FIRST to admit I do not have a perfect marriage I do have a good marriage. So what if he goes to bed before me, so what if when I go to bed he rolls over in his sleep to cuddle with me. That's what married people are suppose to do right? Go to bed and cuddle with each other? Gosh how I miss that!

My friend's DH got home THIS MORNING for R & R. I'm working a few days at a job to help her boss out so that she could take some time off. I'm so happy for her that she is able to spend this time with her husband. I know she is thankful to have him home with her if only for a few days. And, I talked to him and he's glad to be here too.... even if he is freezing his butt off LOL! Sometimes I think, "I wish that were me" but then I tell myself OH NO I DON'T there's too much time still ahead of us to have him come home now. I pray my DH will come home some time in Feb (as planned) and not earlier that way we will be at least half way through all this "sillyness" of being seperated when he goes back....

WAHOOOO celebration however...... we are down to only about 42 more garbage days! LOL too bad trash pick up isn't twice a week! ;)

Oh the joys......

So one night I was talking to DH on the computer and turned to find my precious little dd -------------->
Now, HOW CUTE is that? Pretty cute right? At least it's REALLY lip gloss! She was so cute that I had to let the oldest dd "talk" w/ Daddy while I went from door to door to my neighbors until someone had a digital camera I could use since I have no working camera in my house and the disposable camera I had was already full.

THEN there was today! Today she found MARKER instead in which to use as make up! UGH

Dear Lord, give me strength not to kill her when she does these "cute" little things!

Isn't she cute?

Normally the answer would be YES! However, what is it that has caused her to make her presence in MY BED every night for MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS? I don't even know she's there until I notice her sleeping right on top of me, or kicking or hitting me in my back or head or face or where ever!

Tell me PLEASE how do I get this cute little trouble maker to stay in HER BED ALL NIGHT until it's time to start her day?

I can't really tell you I sleep alone every night cause it's just not the truth.... it's not even mid-night and I haven't even made it to bed yet... and GUESS WHAT... she's already found her way to MY BED! I will carry her back and put her in HER BED..... but at some point in the next how many ever hours.... right back in MY BED she will be. Short of putting some sort of lock on the OUTSIDE of her door I don't know HOW to keep her in her room and in her bed!

Hummmmmmmmm

What a day today has been! It's a cool, dreary, "grey" day here in Upstate NY. And the kids and the puppy are going CRAZY! I'm so glad to see bedtime arrive.

:) On a happy note, I got to talk to dh for quite a while today. Not that it was REALLY productive. We spent a lot of time just rambling. And of course, I spent a lot of time running away from the computer to care for the puppy who needed to go out 100 times or reffing some dispute between my two little princesses!

Won't be long now and DH will start another day in the sandpit with an early morning chat with me..... which will be a fine way to end my day here in NY!

LOVE TECHNOLOGY

Sometimes ya just gotta Luuuuv technology! Yup, that's right! The kids were FINALLY in bed, the puppy was FINALLY behaving and DH was online w/ a web cam (God he's so handsome)! And we were chattin' away.... or at least TRYING! When...... WAM.... he's frozen stiff on the web cam and poof he flashes offline..... We tried about TEN times to carry on a conversation and I was just pretty sure it was NEVER gonna happen. And then FINALLY there he was :) *sigh* We were able to talk for about a half hour before it was time for him to head back to his "room" to get ready to start his work day.

Now don't get me wrong! I DO absolutely love the fact that we are able to communicate almost on a daily basis! That's sure a change from back when he was in Samolia and a welcome one at that.

...... It really must be love! That man gets out of bed at 0400 (the ass crack of dawn) just so he can go down to the MWR and start off his day talking to me! And when he's ready to head off to work he bids me good night "tucking me in"! I really like that too :) He starts his day, and I end mine.... I'm glad we can do it "together".
