Wow!!!

They actually got the fence installed today. It looks fantastic! I love it and am so excited!
Work was bad today... Somebody clogged a toilet and flooded the building last night. That was not fun dealing with when I first got there this morning.
Well, I guess I should be going. There's not much else going on around here. I'm going to put the kids to bed soon.

Almost there...

I have been waiting for this week. I have been excited and dreading it for two completely different reasons.
Fourth quarter at work is over with after this week. Things are going to calm down and it will be absolutely wonderful. I'm not going to miss having one emergency after another and all of the cranky attitudes at all.
On the other hand, Gary leaves after this week is over. I have been trying to ignore it, to avoid it, to not think about it, but it's coming. I don't honestly know how I'll do by myself for three months. I know it's good practice for when he's gone for a year, but I still hate it nonetheless.
On a very happy note, the fence guys come today!!! They're putting the posts in the ground and I will have my fence by the end of the week.
Gosh, the kids are talking more and more every week. And they understand a lot more too... As I type this, Kyle is in his crib saying "Love you mama..." in hopes of me coming to rescue him. Yesterday, we got home and he screamed at me "I want DADDY!" to which I replied with "That's fine, if you want daddy, sit here and scream for him, see how long it will take for him to come get you out." and then he reached out for me and says "Mama???". I just can't get over how fast time flies by with them.
Well, I've got to run... There's a million things that I have to do this morning. Talk to you all later...

Age...

We were talking at work about age. Guessing people’s ages etc. Depressing subject for those of us whose ages were being guessed. It led to me wondering, just what happened to those days where people thinking you were older than you actually are being a good thing? I miss being 16 and people thinking that I was 21 and feeling good about it. Add five years now and I want to cry. I don’t know why, I guess it’s just something that comes with AGE.

 

Well, that’s all for now…

Yay for big projects!

Grrr... The assistant was a no show today. This makes six call-ins in the three weeks that she has worked there. I really wish that I could fire her, but I don't have that authority. Instead I am making my feelings known and continuing to give 200%. We can then decide in October what direction to go with her.
I have my very first FRG meeting tomorrow! I am so excited about it. I can't wait to get to know everyone and to really get to work on this all!
We get our fence in 6 days now! I'm already planning on how to fix my yard to make it as gorgeous as possible.
And, on a very sad note, Gary leaves in 10 days...
Well, I need to go... I have to find something to eat.

So I'm still not doing things as planned...

I have been so tired when I get home from work that I absolutely forget about getting on here. I plan to change that... I am going to start blogging on my breaks at work, so feel free to check in and see what I have to say then...

I have been really bummed out. Gary is leaving in such a short amount of time now... For three whole months. And that just starts out what the next two years of my life are going to be like. Leave, come back, leave again, come back, and leave me yet again. I don't really want to talk about it... I don't really know what to say. I get angry and take it out on him, even though it's not his fault, it's just easier to do that.

I'm going to go to the other, happier countdown that I have right now... 6 days until I get my fence! I sent my paperwork in to the homeowner's association yesterday to get approval. They said I should hear back by Friday at the latest. Yay!!!

I can't wait to get our family portraits back. Olan Mills said that since it's such a large order that it may be shipped directly to the house. I just want to have my family picture up on the wall and I want to start putting Christmas presents together, which, for those of you who don't already know, is pictures this year. I can't afford to something big for everyone, so we're going with something small for everyone rather than leave people out.

That being said, Christmas is on it's way... Email me with your addresses by Thanksgiving if you'd like a Christmas card!!!

Talk to you all later...

I know I haven't written...

I know I haven't written on here in a while, and believe me when I say that it's not because I don't care. It's just that life is a little crazy lately... Actually, a little doesn't even begin to describe it.
Micheal started beck to school. After weeks of crying and hiding and running away, I think he finally is enjoying himself. He is also starting to really do great with potty training as well! My goal is to have him completely potty trained during the day before Gary leaves, and completely out of pull-ups (at night) by the time Gary gets back.
Kyle is wonderful. He is really starting to talk! I wish that Micheal said half as much as that kid does... We are all really starting to have some conversations! Of course, he is having some things going on that are just flat out age related. He's a hitter... If he doesn't get his way, those arms start flailing. I'm hoping that soon enough this stage will be over.
Gary is Gary. He leaves in less than two weeks. I'm a little freaked out. I've never been alone for more than a few weeks and I'm really not looking forward to it.
I'm... hanging in there. Wishing life would just slow down for a second and give me a chance to catch up. I love my job. I love my kids. I love my husband. I love my dog... Who I need to post pictures of... I'll do that tonight, hopefully.
I'm going to be better... I'll be back on soon, I promise...
