Oh so long over do randomness :)

so I kinda fell off the bandwagon lately.  Life got in the way of blogging :(  But I'm here now :).  Chloe is feeling a bit ill today and is snoozing so I thought I would take a few minutes and get a post going. 

~The last few weeks we have had some rain.  Which was awesome and sucky for me.  Awesome because I hardly had to water the grass, trees and plants.  Right before my guy left our sprinkler system in the backyard stopped working.  I don't know why he didn't call up someone to take care of it but I have had to water by hand every week thanks to him.  When it's cold out watering is the last thing I want to be doing.  My grass is looking a bit greener now so the rain did me some good lol.

~One of me bestest buds is getting married in 6 days :)  I'm super happy for her but alittle down too.  Her guy is a paratrooper and is being deployed the end of the year for 15 months. So there getting married now and then in April she is moving back east with him :(.  Sucks but thats the military life for ya!

~Work has been so freaking busy the last few weeks.  Thank god my wonderful boss is gonna be out pretty much the whole month of February. Things should quiet down a bit.  This last week I completed 4 reports, logged about 2000 emails, data input about 107 pages of nothing but numbers and all the other stuff I do around the office.  Lets just say it has been very hectic.

~Picked up my new bed yesterday!!!!  Got it put together and got the old one moved into the guest bedroom.  Yeah I actually have a guest bedroom now :) instead of just a throw all room lol.

Isn't it cute? I also spent like $100 on bedding for it lastnight eek!!!  But oh well.  We didn't have any new bedding for it anyways since its a different size than the old one.

But thats all I got for now.  I'm having a girl only party on Friday night ;) so I need to get back to cleaning the house.  Happy Sunday!!!!! 

Emotional Rollercoaster

So I'm looking outside and its all cloudy and rainy.  I usually love it when its like this and this morning I did.  But at this moment in time not so much.  I'm having my daily email chat convo with my guy and reading a blog of another mil spouse out there that was going through her first deployment a couple years ago.  Everything that she was feeling pre and up until her guy deployed and the first week after was how I felt to a "T". 

The last few weeks I have been concerned for my mom and her cancer that I haven't really had a chance to pay attention to how I am feeling about this deployment.  Infact earlier this morning I was thinking about how easy the last few weeks have been on me with this deployment.  I guess that was because I had something else equal to my guys safety to worry about.  But after reading part of that blog the depression and loneliness just settled right back in. 

Talk about an emotional rollercoaster.

We are days away from the half way point and it feels like it will be ages before I get to be in his arms again.  I'm ready for my hormones to chill out and it to be all over with.

Breast Cancer

So I never really had to deal with this disease.  Chloe's grandma on her dads side had it long before I met her and over came it before I met Chloe's dad.  I've never really known anyone who was diagnosed with it.  Well that all changed a month ago.  My mom was diagnosed with it last month.  When she first called and told me I was in utter shock.  I didn't know what to say or how to react.  My first thought was I need to call my guy and talk to him.  I went to reach for the phone and then it hit me.  All I'm going to get in some Sprint voice telling me his phone is shut off.  I then thought of Chloe. "What if she is susceptible to it?"  Yeah that was kind of stupid lol.  Yes it is running in both sides of her family but whos to say she will ever get it?  I next thought of me and when should I start getting checked out for it?  Then my mind went back to my mom.  She didn't seem scared or upset.  She was just so matter of factly about it.  "This is whats going to happen and this is whats going to be done."

So I will have faith that on Friday the disease that has reared its ugly head into my moms life will be removed and the 6 weeks after that of radiation every day will kill any bits left of it and we can get on with our normal lives.  I will have faith that nothing will go wrong during the operation and she will make a full recovery.  I will have faith that god will take care of her and keep her from harms way. 

Because when it is out of your hands all you can do is have a little faith.

2009 Review

So alot of the blogs that I have been reading have all done a year in review post.  I thought I would too.  I didn't start this blog till the end of the year so I'm going to have to search the cob webbed filled corners of my head to remember what all took place this year.  But bear with me it's going to be a long one :).
