A Hunting We Will Go
Keith left last night around 1:30 am to leave and be a real Marine... He is going to be training with real weapons and real ammunition... It was sad to see him go but yet three weeks isn't that bad. I was more a little freaked that I was going to be 100% alone. I don't know why but I am. I think in the back of my head I worry about something bad (God Forbid) happening to Em like choking or running a high fever. I tend to ummm, FREAK and Keith can usually take care of me and Em when something is going on. Anyway, I am sure we will both be fine.
It has been a good begining, I'll say that! Em and I went Garage Sale hunting this morning. I got her one of the little Red Cars they sit in outside for 5 bucks, some clothes and a couple of toys. I could have got more but I keep asking myself when is enough! I refuse now to buy all that plastic outdoor playstuff when I can go out on the weekends and hunt for them. I actually saw two slide sets but I didn't get them because Em already has two. Kind of stupid to have that many slides for one child! When we were in NY I got a push car buggy thing for Em for 5 bucks (actually Grandma bought that), and a battery car that was brand new for 10 bucks. The woman was crazy if you ask me, those things sell for 100 brand new but she said they were moving and her grandaughter didn't like it... Good for me, bad for them! Oh well. Next weekend we will go out again and see what other treasures we can come up with.
After we got back from hunting I fed Em a little snack (More like whole waffle with syrup), and she watched as I mowed the lawn. It has been raining out like crazy here and we finally got a break this morning so I hurried to do it. All my neighbors were out doing the same... Lot's of women mowing the grass since our hubby's are gone! LOL
Later after Em's nap I plan on finding a K-Mart that is supposed to be here. I had no idea there was one but now I must go in search of it! I also managed to shower while Em napped and picked up the house... Holy Crap, things are actually going okay!! LOL
Thanks for everyone's kind words. I am sure you will hear me venting at one point or another! And to Aunt Kari.... Send Scotty out any time, I would love to have him here for a visit. I don't know if he would ever want to come out here without Keith or whatever but I'd take him the whole dang summer! And no, not to mow my lawn!!! It would just be fun to have him!
Anyway, I am going to try to sit on the couch on watch some TV and just be in a Zombie state until Em decides she has had enough beauty sleep. Until later...
