My day off...

Today starts my four day weekend! Nothing really planned. I'm bringing Micheal to school, coming back home and cleaning... Clean, clean, clean.Cleaning the kitchen, the living room, the boys' room, the play room, my bedroom, my bathroom, then doing laundry and dishes. I'm trying to find something that I'll want to cook tonight that's not very hard while I'm at it. Also need to do some school work. I'm going to try to complete most of next week's work while I'm home over the next few days.

Tomorrow starts me getting strict with Micheal's potty training. He's got to start going on the potty. We had hoped that he would be done with this by now, but he keeps having setbacks. I'm going to try putting him in underwear tomorrow when he gets home from school, and keep him in underwear throughout the weekend and see how it goes. It would be nice to have diapers be a thing of the past.

We went out with some Slavic officers last night. It was pretty cool, I enjoyed myself. I miss going out to dinner with people that Gary used to work with... It used to be a ball. They invited us to tag along again tonight, but I don't think we can find a sitter.

Well, I need to get going. This house obviously doesn't clean itself... Does anyone know when I can upgrade to one that does?

Life keeps going on...

Okay, so we found out that even though Gary was told he would be going to school in August (August 2- October 23 to be exact) that he won't be. They didn't have any openings. Now, he'll either be leaving in July or January. If he leaves in July, he'll come back in November. If he leaves in January, I don't know when he'll come back. I do know that I'll only have a few months with him before he deploys though, so I don't like that option.

In case you're wondering, there are three different schools he can go to: One in Vermont (12 weeks), one in Georgia (20 or so weeks), and one in California (I don't know how many weeks). Vermont is full until who knows when, so Georgia is the one that he can leave for in July. They filled out his paperwork, sent it in, and we're now just waiting to find out. I'd kind of just like to get this over with already. I'm irritated at the fact that just when I get my head wrapped around something, it all gets changed. I should be used to that, it's what always happens.

On another note, Gary and I are going to dinner with some people from his work tonight. I'm a little scared... I don't do fancy restaurants very well and from what I hear, that's where we're going. Should be exciting for me. I do love getting out of the house and not having to bring the kiddos, so that's one cool thing... I'm just nervous.

Upside to the day: After 5:00, I don't have to step foot into Walmart until Monday! Four whole days off, can you believe it?

Well, I have got to run... Talk to you all later!

Grrr...

I was docked 5 points from an assignment because I didn't post it as an attachment. He didn't say to, but he didn't say not to either. I should have known better. I think from here on out, I'll post them each way. My new teacher is really irritating me. It would be different if he let anyone know what was expected of him, but he doesn't. And he's now picking me out in the main forums to question more thoroughly on the subjects of discussion. It's frustrating. We're in week two... Six and a half weeks left, that time should fly right on by...

Work is work... It was pretty good yesterday and the day before. Chris wasn't there. She'll be in today, so we'll see how it goes. Tomorrow is my last day until Monday... I'm quite thrilled about that. Four days to try to relax.

Oh, Gary's school dates are going to change. We don't know when he'll be leaving now, they'll let him know in the next 30 days. He won't be going to the same school that they were talking about, and he will for sure be leaving for school sometime this year. So that's a little frustrating, but we'll get through it, we always do...

I need to get going, my coffee is getting cold while I type. Talk to you all later.

Gary got a new laptop...

So for Mother's Day, my husband got a new laptop. Sounds wierd, right? People at work were like, "Surely he's getting it for you..." and I told them no, it was for him, they just didn't believe me. Anybody that knows my husband would have known it was definitely for him. I'm happy, that means he'll be leaving mine alone now, so it was a Mother's Day present to me as well!

I do have to say that it is pretty cool... I've played with it, installed a few programs for him, and I'm happy for him. The greatest thing is that I actually picked it out for him. I got online myself yesterday and did the research, made a list of five different laptops and told him that he could bring home one of those, but nothing else. He picked the second cheapest one on the list. It has a 400 GB hard drive, facial recognition software through it's webcam, and it's bluetooth compatible. Like I said, pretty cool.

Well, I need to go, I have an early day today...

Grrr...

So Gary decided to pull a fast one on me. He set locks on the Dish so I couldn't watch anything! I called in this morning and explained that I had a teenaged babysitter that did it and the woman gladly helped me change it. Took all of five minutes. I've left it alone and now I'm going to wait and see how long it takes him to notice that his password has been changed. He can be quite the pain sometimes...

I'm going to work today, although I would love to call in. I just can't do that to Rae and Kandi. They don't deserve for me to call in today and leave them stranded.

Oh, we made Kyle walk yesterday! Gary held one hand and Micheal held the other and made him walk around the entire yard before letting him sit. He didn't even try to stop once. I'm convinced he can do it, he just doesn't really want to.

Well, I need to go... Gotta get a shower and still need to do a little schoolwork before leaving the house.
