Hi everyone! I know it has been forever since I posted. Things have been non-stop here in dealing with this deployment.
Been trying to stay busy with the kids. They are both in full day school now, so I have free time during the day when I ain't cleaning or at MOPS meetings (mothers of preschoolers). My son has joined Boy Scouts, thanks to the den leader getting all the items he needs so I don't have to pay for anything. My daughter wants to do cheerleading like her half-sister in CA....but we can't afford that.
The kids birthdays are done and over with now. A neighbor helped me put together a combined b-day party for them...it went well. The kids enjoyed it.
Hubby is doing ok. 9 1/2 months down....5 1/2 months to go til he comes home. I have been sending out roughly 3-4 care pkgs out every month. Where he is at, they get 1 hot meal a day, so I have to do double shopping for us and then for him to make sure he gets at least something else to eat everyday.
Other then that, nothing much going on. I had some fake fall flowers and leaves laying around so I made a small fall bouquet and a small wreath to put around like a pillar candle. Sorta cute. They are sitting in my dinning/kitchen now.
As for Christmas....well I thought about it. I have a couple gifts for the kid that I picked up the same time as I did their b-day gifts. I need a new tree...my old one, after 11 yrs, I had to throw away last year. I can't put lights up this year...hubby not here to climb up on the roof. If we had a 1 story house then I could do it but we have a 2 story house, lol. So looks like Christmas will be small this year. I just hope the kids don't cry like they did last year since daddy it isn't here. Breaks my heart to see them cry cause their daddy isn't here.
Well I think that is it. Hope everyone is doing good and I will try to be more active now that the kids are in school and settled.
