Nothing
I wonder what it means exactly that my 2.5 year old has more of a life than I do. Even though we live in the south and live right down the road from the ocean, summers sort of suck here. It gets way too humid to be able to even want to make the 5 foot walk to your car let alone want to go anywhere. It is way too dangerous to even let Em play outside for any amount of time. So... as I said the summers suck. Finally a cool breeze has come through and we have been venturing outside again. It is awesome being able to let Em do her thing in the backyard. Yesterday she kept going in and out and I caught up on house stuff... Her and I both enjoyed it. Em has turned into a busy little beaver lately with the Fall rolling in and I have received a new titler as well, "chauffeur"... She is busy EVERY day doing something. Mondays her speech therapist is going to start coming to the house for an hour staring next week. Tuesdays she has "Crafty Campers" in the morning and group speech therapy in the afternoon, Wednesday she goes to "school", Thursday is her playgroup, Friday she has school again, and I am thinking of starting her in gymnastics on Saturday mornings. See what I mean about having more of a life then me? I guess it's good, I just hope I am not over doing it. I think it's better than having her sit her ass in front of a TV all damn day though. She needs the stimulation or she turns into a monster, she just does not do well if she is not busy. She simply whines and cries about everything and I would rather keep her busy than have us both going crazy.
So, Halloween is right around the corner again. That is insane to me. It just does not seem possible that the holidays are only a couple months away. I have no clue what to dress Em as... I feel like we just did the Halloween thing! I am looking forward to going to the pumpink patch with Keith though and making some memories with him. Next year he will be gone again so I want to enjoy this time of year with him being apart of everything. Although I have to say that he won't be here for our anniversary again. So that will be three years that we will be apart for it. He is going to the field for some training for almost two weeks... oh well, better than 7 months. Speaking of 7 months we thought for a bit that it might be possible that he would be going again soon for another 7 month deployment (It would have been our choice, rather than have him leave in August), but we decided against it. I would rather him wait until he is supposed to leave and just give us more time. I don't think either one of us feels like doing it all again so quickly.
Nothing really new to report. We were thinking of moving off base and renting a home out in town. Then we actually looked at some houses and realized that what we could actually afford was basically the same size house we have now. Houses are small here in NC, JESUS! I wasn't wanting a manison for shit sake, just something to fit our shit in! Now I see that what we live in on base housing is considered normal for this area... As soon as Keith gets done with the next deployment we are requesting to get the hell out of here!
Anyone watch the finale of Big Brother last night? I didn't really care who won out of the two of them... I think Boogie had the better game play even though he is an asshole, so I guess I am glad he won over Erika. I think Janille should have won it but at least she got a nice chunk of change out of it. Now my next addiction is going to be Survivor. Keith and I decided it is fun to have a show to watch together... it took us 12 years to discover this. LOL
Em has been growing again... Damn kid! She is suddenly into a 3T shirt and 2T pants! She actually looks taller to me. Her dang head is getting bigger too... I can't get her noggin to go through her old shirts! Time to buy some new clothes again! What I actually NEED to buy her is some fall PJ's. Think I might do that while she is at school this afternoon. I also need to go through all her shit (and as in shit I mean toys), and get rid of a bunch of it. I know with Christmas coming I had better. It's either that or ask housing to add another room on and I don't think that's going to happen. She has so much shit now that we are going to "convert" our patio area into a playroom for her. It's going to cost us about 500 bucks to do it... we are going to put plastic over the screen, put up blinds, and get a rug with padding for the floor.... Yeah, 500 bucks for that shit... It needs to be done though, we have totally out grown this house.
Anyway, on that note.... Hope you all are doing well. Later...
