Finally...

The tiny man is in the swing and the little middle is watching (gag) Spongebob. So mommy has a few seconds to herself midst the laundry and vacuuming...
First off I have to say how incredibly blessed I have been with having such good friends so quickly. Thursday night I was beat and stressed and tired, etc etc. I was supposed to go walking with my 3 friends but they decided instead to go to dinner but I was beat and just couldn't do it. The kids were making me nuts, etc. So they took David and Isaac to PoFolks with them and I stayed here and put Sammy right to bed and actually had a few hours to myself. It was so nice! I really needed it and they were so sweet about it and even bought them BlowPops. :) They really are the greatest. I really appreciated it. Even though 2 of them don't even have kids they don't seem to mind my 3 munchkins. They really are awesome. I am very lucky. I know that if I hadn't met Tori, I would probably be hating it here!
So, anyhow, we spent the weekend getting ready for our hubbies' homecoming and the party we were gonna throw for them on Monday night. Sunday morning we went over to their barracks to get them. They had a little graduation ceremony for them and then we got to bring Daddy home. He seriously looked so beat! A few less pounds, a few more gray hairs, and very pale and tired looking. His body is covered in chigger bites which I know is making him crazy. I can't go into too many details on here other than they really put them through it. If you Google what it was he was doing, you can read more about it. (I'm not supposed to tell you, just try to remember if I've mentioned it before or email me and I will tell you.) I was told to take off all posts referring to it.
Sunday we just relaxed and Monday night we had our party, which was quite successful. We went and bought a new grill...yippee!
Then tuesday, I felt the repurcussions from Monday night and was sick all day with some sort of food poisoning. Yippee.
Anyhow. It has been nice to have Honey home and he has only had to go to the Unit to check in for a few minutes everyday because they have been put on light duty for a while to recover from their ordeal. Apparetnyl they all bawled like babies (According to one wife's retelling from her hubby). I know it was tough on him and I am so proud of him. This is one of those things that you mention to other soldiers around here and they all go, "ooooooo". If you wanna know more, let me know and I will email you with what it was called and you can look it up. Or, you can go here...(even better)...

Okay, I won't keep that link up here for long though, so go soon, if you wanna know more.
Well, I'm waiting for the Exterminator dude to come since the Giant Roaches have invaded the kitchen...it was only a matter of time. (Shudder).
Ugh.
