tom should be landing in san antonio shortly

and i have a sleeping baby on my lap

it won't really hit that tom won't be home tonight till around 6ish

when he doesn't come home haha

got some good deals at walmart for hayley today

i got her a hoodie for the fall for a dollar marked down from 12

and to dresses for 3 bucks each

then i had to ruin it with swim diapers and regular diapers

those are never on the sale rack

but  the diapers where on sale thankfully

the only diapers she can wear are papers cruisers or swaddlers

they have some kind of mesh lining and every other diaper (even other pampers) give her a horrible rash

she had one from when she was 2 weeks old for 4 months straight

she turned 6 months sunday

nothing got rid of it because nothing wet can touch her rear

tom says only pure gold or the hands of angels can touch her with out it breaking out

sorry, no more diaper talk

we need a new washing machine

ours leaks but it would cost as much to fix it as it would to replace it

so i got a drip pan for 20 bucks today

this way i can do laundry easier while tom is deployed

i won't have to lug laundry and kids to the laundry building i will just have to suck the water up with a shop vac or the little bissell and that will  be way easier

now if i can con one of the neighbor kids to take my trash for me

ill pay em haha

i love watching the cosby show

i think i will make jonas some chicken fries for dinner

since tom is not going to be here all week

i have no need to make big family dinners for all of us to eat and for tom to have leftovers for work

ill just make small simple meals for jonas and me

maybe soup and sandwiches tommorrow

we'll see

mothers day and anniversary

this past friday (the 15th) tom and i had our 5 anniversary

and just like every year for the past 4 years

we went out kid (now kids) in tow

but thats ok

i love having my children

and i wouldn't have them with out tom

so they should be part of the celebration as well :)

but when we go to VA next week

maybe we will ditch the kiddos for night and take in dinner and movie or something

we only get nights out when we go to VA or OH and thats very very few and far between

mothers day was the 10th

jonas got me hat haha

i made a joke that i wanted a 'watering hat' that was on the disney show imagination movers

and jonas dragged poor tom around to every store and boutique in downtown southern pines

alas there were no watering hats to be found

so i got a regular hat from out outdoors store

its cute and will come in handy on trips to the zoo and the park

tom leave for TX on tuesday

he will be back friday

then its of to VA for his birthday, memorial day, and one last hurrah before he deploys

prays for that.

this is first deployment

and most likely not the last

he's going to be gone for at least 3 months

fun

but we will get through it
