Madison's first day of school was today. I can not believe my baby is in Kindergarten...makes me wonder how my own mom feels with a 26 year old baby and 2 grandkids. Maddie loved it though. We got there late because of traffic and I had to walk her in and didn't get a kiss or hug bye again. Hopefully she continues to enjoy school. Makayla cried when we walked out of school, she wanted sissy.
Today was a day that I really missed Jeremy. I wish he could have been here her first day of school. He missed preK last year too. I'm not looking forwards to the holidays this year again, since he wasn't around at Thanksgiving last year either, or our anniversary. 2 years in a row missing major things sucks. But, we will survive. I'm trying to stay stronger this time than I was the last time. I know I will have my down days, but I'm doing everything I can to make sure I have up days. This deployment WILL NOT GET ME DOWN!
The kids were into everything imaginable today. Rice, bread crumbs, laundry soap, cat food, TV trays...you name it they were into it. They did a terrible job of listening to me too. I wish I had family here to help me with them. I feel bad asking the few (2) friends that I have made to take the girls off my hands. They have their own things going on. One's husband is deployed with mine and found out that she is pregnant, and the other one is going to have a baby in 2 months.
Things will get better. Once the school routine sets in....It has to get better right? Plus it will all start going by faster. He's been gone almost a month (which I can't believe it's been that long already) and in November we will go home for a month and a half...then a few months later he will hopefully be able to take R&R...then the deployment will be done. They say the second half goes by faster than the first half. I hope it's true.
My plan for tomorrow is to work out and get the house cleaned. I might run my shampooer to the repair shop to get the cord fixed so I can shampoo the carpet...it really needs it! It's driving me insane, all these little spots and stains on the carpet from a dog, cat, my 2 kids and the 3 that I baby sit. UGH!
Well I'm off to bed! Tomorrow is a new day and WILL BE BETTER THAN TODAY!!!
Ok, so here I am trying to blog again. There has been so much that has happened that I don't know where to start.
Jeremy left August 3rd. It's been hard on both of us. He misses the girls and I. We miss him. Maddie has adjusted better than I thought she would actually. I thought it would be crying and "I want daddy" every day. It's only been a few times, and she really wants him when she's getting into trouble. Mak, she never asks for him. One day last week I heard her saying "dad dad dad" and looked and she was walking around carrying one of his shirts. It was a heart breaking moment.
Me, well I'm doing the best I can. I'm strong for the girls during the day, but at night it's real hard. Some nights I cry and can't stop, but it's not sobbing hysterically it's just crying. We have never been away from each other for this long, or this far away. It's really hard being here with everything screaming "Jeremy". It's just going to take a while to get use to. I'm sure I will soon.
Maddie starts school the 9th. That should help the time go by fast. She will be in 3 day's this year, she's excited.
Mak is in her terrible 2's already. Every time I tell her to do something she says "no". UGH. I don't know what to do to get her to stop.
We were supposed to go to the Zoo tomorrow, but it's supposed to rain. Plus my aunt and uncle are coming in from the west coast to see my Great Grandma. She's not doing so well and a few people think that she was holding on just to see them again. I would rather go to the get together than the Zoo...it will always be there and I don't remember the last time I seen them.
I'm trying to lose weight before I go to Oklahoma to see Jeremy. He's going to lose so much during BCT he will look so different. I want to "change" and surprise him. LOL. I'm down almost 10 pounds...I have actually started working out the past few days. Hopefully I can keep it up. It's hard with no one to push me to do it. So far doing it at night is easier when both kids are in bed. We will see how this goes.
Well there is a run down of the past few months...
I have been *flirting* with the idea of sending my darling 3 year old to *gasp* preschool! I SO do not want her to grow up! Preschool is just the beginning...soon it will be kindergarten. Then before you know it she's graduated and off to collage! OMG! It's all happening WAY to fast.
So, I call the school today (secretly hoping that they have no openings, because they took the sign down last week)...No answer, so I leave my message. She calls back. Talk to her...only requirements are that she needs to be 3 years old, and potty trained. Well, *damnit* she's both. They have an open house on the 26th, to meet teachers, and sign up. I suppose we will go...I keep telling myself that it will be good for her AND for me. PLUS it's only from 9-11:30, so she's not going to be gone all day.
This is my baby girl! The weekend she was born, still at the hospital! There's no way she should be going to SCHOOL!
This is her now...all of 3 years old and growing...
Anyone know how to make her stop?!
