yah yah yahhh.

I know, I know. I've been putting off writing on here for sometime now.
Nothing big is really happening and I've had to write long and somewhat drawn-out pieces for various reasons and quite frankly, it drains me a bit. TV is easier.

The hubby is home from a family visit to Texas, I dragged him around all day after his flight so now he's dead to the world while I am awake after only a few hours of rest yesterday evening.
It's the exact opposite of my sleep pattern lately. I mostly sleep the days away, and have for the last month or so- it puts a huge damper on friendship sadly. But I am thankful to be able to stay awake for more then a couple hours, for however long this new schedule lasts that is.

I have had two family members contact me this week that I haven't spoken to for over a decade, it's a nice return to normalcy (?), and I am welcoming the new found outlet to share what has happened in our lives with each other- a very cool thing indeed. I'm excited to see where this leads, I have the feeling it should work out for the best.

As for today's plans...I will be getting my new base ID, then I made Mr M promise to buy me pie and walk around the mall with me at South Center.
I think I'm just craving time away from the house while we can, as his leave ends on Tuesday.
I'm also making a strawberry soda cake for him and the boys today, and tomorrow I plan on making dinner and having the Tonys' over for Wii night and apples to apples.

All in all life is amazing,

TV food.....

I am a ABDC fan, all out.

But I haaaattttttteeeee this seasons judges table. I mean all seasons (up till now) have been great, with the exception of Lil' Mama being a tard-o sometimes.
Oh and everyone dis-likes Mario Lopez as a "host"......

But now they replaced (rightly so) Shane Sparks with Omarion?!?!? I'm sorry, but WTF?????
Who the &*%@ is OMARION!?!? I mean I KNOW who he is, but lets face it- he wasnt that good as a artist, so WHY would he be a good judge for a dance competition?!?

Ughhhhhhhh. I want to reach through the TV and choke him. Time & time again.
Bleaghhhh. Someone replace him PLEASE????

back to normal.

I feel refreshed. More than refreshed- more like my normal self.
Mr M is finally home from NC, after two weeks of non-stop pushing out C-17s for Haiti.
Needless to say, in my current state I became frazzled with him gone.

I'm so accustomed to his voice daily, hugs and kisses at every turn, kind and loving words as well as the laughter that comes from our banter each day.
That all changes with him on TDY, the house feels empty in a profound way.

Most days I had to force myself out of bed to eat or venture out to town. For most people that sounds quite silly, but it is a large adjustment to try and get use to.
Nights are always the worst, missing him sleeping in our bed as well as the safety that I feel when he is near took it's toll on my sleeping habits. I am more naturally a insomniac, so stress ( like that I felt for those two weeks of being "alone') tends to make me sleep even less.
Couple that with being exhausted from our fishy, and it makes for a very random schedule.

Thankfully Mr M was able to get home sooner than later, and so after three days of
"re-adjusting", I am feeling up to daily activities.
(This was of course after I slept the entire morning & afternoon away two days in a row)
I feel awful to have spent the night away from home, only to come back right after Mr M had gone to sleep... So I spent the last two hours cooking and baking a yummy lunch for him to take to work tomorrow.
While he is at work I plan on meeting my sister for a lunch date followed by desert at the wonderful Hello Cupcake bakery in down town. It should be a very fun day indeed =)

I'm just thankful that I am able to start getting into a routine for the coming months.
I truly am a blessed woman.
