August Finally

So it's finally August. Thankgoodness. Im just trying to keep busy and make my way through this deployment. Which leaves me with 62% completed! Another paycheck down, another item crossed off my to do list and I'm almost there.

So I took boys boys for haircuts. It was Michael's first one. While normally I wouldnt even consider a child's $30 haircut I splurged and spent the money. AJ of course went to the barber for his $9 one. The next morning was August 1st. AJ had finally started the 1st grade and boy was he excited. He barely slept the night before. Everything went well. We got up for school without a hitch and had no problems. I also picked up a few hours for babysitting. Every dollar helps. Thats for sure. Today we went to a 1st bday party which was fun. So many babies.

Rob said there is a chance he might get home earlier but obviously there are no guarantees. Im keeping my fingers crossed and praying to the deployment gods. I know that I definitely have atleast 3 months left of this deployment. Im at 138 lbs. I still want to get down to 125 to meet my goal. Totally doable. I still need a good pair of running sneakers but that will come soon. I also have some major things to take care of. The cars need to be registered, Michael needs to get shots, I need to get to medical and well daily life still needs to be taken care of. But thats it for now. Bye bye
