its hot

its pretty hot outside right now

but thats ok

tom is tdy to florida right now

he had to leave today rather than tuesday

but thats ok too :)

things don't feel too different till about 6 tonight when he doesn't come home

but ill just tell myself he is on one of his over night trainings 

which he is

its just in florida this time haha 

and he won't be back till friday

hopefully dan calls soon with flight info

semi funny story

i saw a taco bell commercial last night while tom was out getting a paper and thought to myself

'hmm maybe me jonas and dan will grab some taco bell while he's here'

when tom came home he tells says

'well i know one thing you wont be doing when dan is here, going to taco bell, the whole thing is up in flames'

there was a fire at taco bell!

tom saw it when he was at harris teeter 

he doesn't think any was was really hurt since no ambulances left with lights and sirens 

but still

i was thinking about going to taco bell at the same time it was on fire

i drove past it today and you can't tell it was on fire until you get to the entrance

from the back you can't see the mess in the front and through the windows it looks like its just closed

but once you look through the windows of the front you see this huge pile of mess

so im wondering where it started  oh well

im sure its in the local paper

here ya go!  

no one was hurt

thats good

most exciting thing to happen here since we've moved here

i have laundry to do

which is tedious with out tom

or a washing machine

gotta load the children in the stroller

load the laundry card

walk to the laundry place (which in in the complex)

it should be fun!

day one with out tom is under way

only 4 more to go!

TGIT

Thank God its Thursday

its been a loooong week

tuesday was the worst day ever

tom was the sickest he has ever been in the 7 years we have been together

i woke up to him puking around 2am tuesday morning

that was super fun

he was sick all day

wednesday i was ill

not nearly as sick as tom thank God

and thankfully neither of the kids are sick

that's outstanding

my brother graduates tech school on the 10th

the same day tom leaves for training for 4 days

daniel (my brother) is going to come up here the 11th or 12th and stay for a few days

that should be fun

i haven't seen him since Christmas 2007

and he is going to be stationed in germany for 24 months

he is already been ordered to send me monthly kinder egg packages

i miss kinder eggs

dont know what we are going to do while he down  here

tom will come back friday at sometime

probably not till late

so maybe (weather permitting) me and dan will take the kids to the zoo

jonas is begging for cheetos 

and hayley is helping me type

tomorrow is the end of the work week

no real plans for the weekend other than get ready for my brother's visit

we'll see though

i need to get in the habit of doing this more often

oh well

lots have been going on

on valentines day we took jonas to the nc museum of life and science

we had a great time

tom and i haven't actually celebrated valentines day since we've been married

awesome huh

but taking jonas to the museum was fun

lots of hands on stuff for him to play with

in the butterfly house a butterfly landed on hayley

but i couldn't find tom with the camera till after it flew away

tom ran his half marathon on sunday

he did good for his first longer distance run

16th in his age group 

120th over all in the men

he finished in 1 hour 35 min 51 sec

7:17 mile time

the guys that came in first through third ran it in 1:06-1:07

they were super speedy

like olympic speedy

all of us are getting over colds

poor hayley can't take any medicine thanks to the recall last year

so she has been really snotty and sniffy

poor baby

she's been extra cranky do to the lack of being able to breath out her nose

i wish a i had a table hockey set

that would be neat

so i started this in november

go me!

not much happening really

christmas was great

we had a fun snow day here in NC 2 weeks ago

that was awesome

hayley is getting big!

she's sleeping  a lot longer at night which is great

well she's either sleeping more or i just don't hear her till 5 30ish 

whoops

im sure its her sleeping though.

going to be up in VA in a few weeks

tom is going to be running the 

anheuser busch colonial half marathon in williamsburg

it will be his longest run to day

but he is training for the air force marathon in september in ohio

so he needs to see if he can do 13.1 miles before he does 26.2

i think he'll be fine

jonas starts preschool in septmeber

they had an open house for the one we were looking at in january

that seemed a bit early for open houses and registration but we did it  and he's in so that's good

super bowl was good

i was routing for the cardinals

one because they've never been to a superbowl

and two as a browns fan, i can't cheer for the steelers

not matter how 'cool' they are

but football season is now over and opening day is in 2 months 4 days

baseball season woohoo

i love it

i have cleaning to do

vacuuming and such

we need dining room set

been shopping around

they are so expensive

even on craigslist

we seem to live in a greedy area

people on freecycle ask for ps3, xbox 360's and 'cars 20o2 and newer please'

they also post 'please my child is starving i need formula'

or 'we are out of diapers'

nice huh

craigslist isn't much better

some one was selling the same book cases we have (that we got from walmart for 15 bucks a peice) for 50 bucks a piece. and walmart curtains for 75

um no

lunch time for kiddos now

jumping on the bandwagon
mainly so i can leave comments without all the hassel
