Freeze Sucker

Do you ever go in your child's room at night and find yourself suddenly saying to yourself "OH Shit" and dropping to the ground as if your muscles just turned Jello? You freeze in fear of waking them all the while praying they didn't just see you do a full body dive to the ground...Then you hear movement and you are pushing yourself harder onto the floor like that is actually going to help you be hidden from the child.... Of course at this point would be when my female dog Bree walks in the baby's room and looks at me like "Hmmm, Are we playing the waking the baby up game? Maybe I should stand here and help you by making my snoutless nose make all sorts of loud piggy snorts" "Snort Snort Snort" At this point I am usually doing the pointing motion rapidly at the door all the while lipping "Get the Fuck out".... Of course being the non-Disciplined, non-lip reading dog that she is, she stands there and does it about 10 times more. She probably would have done it longer if I had not stretched me arm out to find a Teddy Bear to fling at her... All is quiet... must move slowly, into the upward standing position.... Do not move yet, make sure child is fully asleep...Okay, start moving, slowly, quietly..... Then it happened, she sits up out of a dead sleep, looks straight in my eyes and gives me the smile that will melt my heart and makes me a sucker for any of her desires... Then with that came the look, the look of "Mom, I knew you were there all along you idiot"... I swear God gave me this child so that he could be entertained with my "parenting skills"... I wouldn't doubt it if he had a remote control with my house number on it and he flips the switch on my channel so he can get a good chuckle at least once a day.... Thanks God.
Oh yeah, and God if you are watching or reading, whatever... I am pretty sure I asked for more patience like 100 times in the past couple of days... stop laughing at me and help a crazy person out! Thanks...
Okay, So.... Can't say it's been a hell (Hec, Sorry God), of a lot better but whatever... I mean, is it really ever going to be... Probably not. Let's be realistic, but I think just trying to take it day by day is going to help... kind of.
I wanted to say Thank you to all my Blogger Babes... You gals are the best. I can't believe I have such good friends out there in Blogger land, I only wish we all lived closer. You are all so supportive and patient in listening to me vent. Thank you as well for letting me into your world and reading your daily goings on.... I love being apart of it.
To my other support network... My Parents, Kristin, Kari, Ian, Keith's parents, Elaine, and Terry.... I know you are all probably so sick of me by now.... Thank you all for calling and checking on us and always listening to me. I am sorry if I sound so upset all of the time and vent to you all... Thank you for always listening and being willing to help out in anyway. I love you all...
And to Keith... I know I have said it so many times in the past few days... I am sorry that I am not as strong as you and I am having a harder time with this than expected. Know though that Emily and I are good... Safe, healthy... I will adapt given time. Do not worry about us.... Thank you for doing all you can do by emailing us and calling us. It means the world to me that you understand and are going out of your way to take care of us. I am so proud of you, I love you and you are missed even more with every minute that goes by. Be safe and know that your girls are fine... it is just your wife is a little looney, but hey, you already knew that about me! LOL
Thank you for all you do for us, for your Marines, and for your Country.... I love you.

PS... Emily threw her first public temper tantrum... Out at the playgroud around all of our neighbors... Yeah Emily!

PS Number 2... I promise not to be so depressing all of the time, I know I suck lately!
