Day 92

Well we are now officially over the hump of the first 90 days. It is almost a breath of fresh air. So yeah I finished my class on becoming an AFTB trainer. I am soo excited about the whole thing.
My Husband told me WTG. I was in shock. He never says things like that. LOL So as for the rest it is history. I can not wait to get started. It was a wonderful weekend. It was beautiful. I guess it is going to be beautiful all week. I am excited cause we can spend some time outside and get things done spring cleaning wise. So this is my laid back week and will get to do some stuff. Maybe I will even be able to post some pictures. Well I better get some stuff done while the twins are sleeping. Taking advantage of my quiet time.

Day 87

Ok so I am learning new things everyday. The deployment is going well and let me tell you. Things are going so much better this time. I have held it together so much better. Oh yeah do not get me wrong it is not easy. I have my days. My kids today for example. They tried my limits so much today. I was gone all day in my trainers course. It was like as soon as I picked the twins up they were bouncing off the walls. Then to get to the older ones and they were bouncing off them too. Maybe it was I am over tired and maybe it is I was not home when the older 2 came home from school. The twins could be that was the longest they have ever been in Daycare. I am guessing the next 2 days will not be much better with them.
So I will not get to talk to the Hubby really until Saturday. Dang that sucks but you know I will live. I do not have to talk to him everyday. WOOO Hooo Maybe we will have something to talk about. Things will be different then and he will maybe have some news for me as well. So That is a p;us we will have a lot of something to say to each other rather then a whole lot of nothing. I am planning on getting some stuff done this weekend and that is to include my back yard cleaned and stuff so the kids can go out and play. Yeah get them all out my hair for a while. WOOO HOOO the twins can play on their slide and swing and in their truck they will love it. LOL Well off to bed I go.

Day 85

Ok so it is not level 4 whatever. I am going to be a trainer. I also think it is important to any spouse. Things are still going good. I of course im worrying a bit. I am so used to hearing from the hubby daily and did not get anything today. That is part of it I know so I will go on. Where did the weekend go. It went by so quickly. I can not believe March is just a week away already. I think we just celebrated Christmas. LOL I got all kinds of birthdays in March to keep me busy. I am sure it will go quick as well. I suppose however I better get moving and doing something for the day. I have kids to get ready to go back to school in the morning and they are house bound because of the snow. I had a clean house for a couple hours. LOL

Day 81

Can you believe it 81 days already!!! Wow R&R is coming up soon. We are just 9 days from being a 1/4 done with this deployment. That is a good feeling.
So yeah found out my hubby and mother talked about how this deployment is going so much better. They came up with it is because the neighbors and the Mayor program keeps me busy. LOL Yeah well something like that. They both had agreed that I have much better neighbors this time. OK OK OK Katy do not get such a big head. I better watch what I say. LOL
In reply to my comment Jill Army. The level 4 is the trainers course. They just call it level 4 here I guess. LOL I am kind of excited. And Katy what you do you mean no time. LOL I want it so I can teach the class for the village. LOL That would be my goal on taking it.
So I guess this is a good place to start promoting AFTB(Army Family Team Building). I think it is should be made that everyone one that is new to the Army should take it. Wives (opps I mean spouses) can learn a lot. It beats the hell out of the day after their hubby leaves for the field or deployment calling and whining about "Oh I do not know how I am going to do this.", "How do I know how much we are getting paid" , "My husband called the other day and said he needs his LBE cleaned and I have not a clue what is a LBE and how am I to know what to wash?" . These would be some examples but with it all you are going to learn the terms that army uses and how to read an LES(Leaves and Earning Statement). Hell then at least they know what that stands for. LOL Oh and if they get their spouse to complete it with them then the spouse get promotion points. WOW that is a great thing as well. LOL
So what else is there that could go on. I am not going to do the care team now like I was thinking about. I do not need to do everything. LOL So anyway I am going to go for now. I got to get in the shower and the twins dressed for the Mayor meeting. Until I can post again!

Day 79

Yeah so it is valentines Day. I think it is over rated.lol Yeah it is just because he is gone. That is ok it is really just another day that is set aside to tell each other how much you love each other. I already know he loves me and that I love him. Yeah I sent a box with valentines in it for him anyway. However he did not get me flowers or anything. Wait that happens hardly ever. He is just not a flower kind of guy. LOL Wow I can not believe it has been almost 80 days since he left. Only got 274 days to go. Less when he is coming on R&R. The time is moving thank goodness.
So yeah Welcome home Steve!! Jenna's hubby came home Sunday night. I am soo happy for her. Like it matters and either of them will see me welcoming them home they are all locked up in the love nest. LOL
I am still staying busy with stuff. However Next week I have Army Family Team Building Level 4 training. I am kind of excited about that. The kids are staying busy with things at school and such and the twins love tagging along with mommy as she runs. LOL
Yeah I am sure everyone has seen this by the way. However I wanted to share this link ----> Yep this one Armed Forces Tribute. Enjoy

Day 75

So yeah here we are Friday again. I can not believe how fast time is going. So here I am bored out my mind. I should be cleaning or doing something like that tonight but I am not going to do it. I have to take the twins in for appointment today and get them shots. YIKES!!! It will be ok. They did really well last time.
So I think the deployment is taking a toll on my hubby. I am worried about him. He is stressing out over stuff. I wish he could talk to me so that he could maybe find a way to release.
Well I am going to bed. I do not really have anything to say. nite all

Day 73

Yeah so wow I have been slacking over here. I am doing good. It was pretty nice I got to talk to the hubby for a long while today. I am missing him sooo much. The kids and I are getting along pretty dang good. We are getting somewhere I feel sometimes. I am not sure why I get to be so overwhelmed sometimes but it happens. So now my only issue is getting some sleep. LOL I am havin troubles settling down. So does anyone even pop in anymore? I like having this place to just talk about what I am feeling while he is gone over where he is again. It helps so much to have a place to hide for just a moment and put down my thoughts. So anywho I suppose I will go to bed.

Day 67

Yeah can not believe it. Time is flying. So I am going to go get some stuff to get a box off for my man. I just not sure what to get him. LOL He has asked for a watch and some movies. So I will pick them up and I am thinking I will get him a new webcam so that we can cam now that he is on the net with our laptop. THAT IS A GOOD THING!!! LOL That means he will get to talk to me when he has a free chance in his room in private. No he will not tell me secret things but at least he will be able to have a cam on and I will be able to turn the cam on for him so that he can see the kids. I could not believe it when the Computer people there told him he could not see his kids on cam and that he had to turn it off. That is part of it I am sure. So I am hoping I get to talk to him again soon. I sure do miss him. Talk to ya soon.
