Can I just start by saying that I am extremely excited to be 60% done with this deployment. Its been super frustrating. This is my first deployment on the other side of the fence. No wonder Army wives tend to gain a ton of weight. I could literally sit in the house and bake all day if someone would let me. Then at night I would eat until I would go into a food coma. So instead I bake and ship it off and I diet and exercise.
Eating has been kinda unhealthy but I also havent had a good routine to workout either. The boys and I went to the Bishop Museum. A must if you are ever in Honolulu. I want an annual pass very badly now. Another mommy friend and her kids invited us. Between the 2 of us we had 7 boys. She has 4 boys and one tagged along. Plus my two. It was great. AJ loved it. They have the dinosaur exhibit up now and wow it was great.
Anthony also met his teacher today. School starts on Monday. Im a few supplies short of a completed list. But after a quick run to target I should be good. Im so excited for him and Im just as excited for me. I get to go back to enjoying the days with Mikey and the nights with AJ. Plus during nap time I will finally get some me time. AMAZING and totally selfish but I need it.
So Im sort of OCD about certain things and I made a weekly schedule with a chore chart and cleaning list attached. Im trying to keep life organized. Rob won't be happy but Im taking myself on a "project" shopping spree. Im buying a great pair of running sneakers for my training, garden stuff to do with AJ, crafts and scrapbooking items, and some outdoor stuff to do with the kids while we are home. Gotta love that deployment money.
Im very excited for the month of August. Michael will be 14 months old, AJ will be in school, pool days will resume on Wednesdays, and its project month! OK well I need to go spend some time with my little man.
the end literally
