My BIGGEST "pet peeve"

I have alot of "pet peeves" one of my biggest is when people over the age of 4 ask the same questions over and over again! It drives me crazy. Patrons at work do it, family does it, my child has another year before I start getting irritated about him doing it =D. I just cannot understand why people can't accept the answer they have been given and drop it. I'll ask you once and maybe a second time if it seems you have forgotten and I'll leave it at that. If only more people did that. If I need something I will ask, if something came in for you at the library we will call you. Jeez people Patience is a virtue and not repeatedly asking people the same questions tends to make people like you more.

It's been awhile

I haven't posted anything in awhile. I was reminded of this the other day when a friend asked for the link to my blog. So I figured I should update my blog for my curious viewers. We are almost 2 weeks into this deployment and for the most part we are doing great. Gabriel recently turned 3 his birthday party was a success! We had so much fun. I realized that I enjoy having my house to myself, and any ideas I was entertaining about staying with family while John is gone have gone out the window. I'm just not capable of dealing with other peoples emotions in regards to John's deployment. I can handle Gabriel being upset about his Daddy being gone but I just can deal with anyone elses emotions. I've decided to stay home for Thanksgiving my Big Little brother is coming and bringing some friends! I am also staying home for Christmas my parents are supposed to be coming this will be the first Christmas I have spent with them in four years!! Some people don't realize that it has been four years since I last spent Christmas with my family but I haven't forgotten. I've also come to realize that I am not catering to other people anymore. This is John and I's life and we are Gabriel's parents we do not have to make other people happy nor do we have to answer to anyone else. I'm glad John has also decided to no longer cater to others. Gabriel and I spent the weekend crafting and somewhat being lazy. We made a countdown ribbon chain to John's homecoming and Gabriel worked on some Halloween crafts with my best friend Allison while I made them dinner. I enjoy being able to cook without Gabriel asking 50 questions =D. We cleaned the house a bit Gabriel now has four chores he is responsible for now he has to set the dinner table each night, pick up his toys, make his bed, and put his clothes in the laundry. So far he has taken to it well I told him at the end of the week he gets 1 dollar as long as he does his chores. That is all I have for now I'll post later with some pictures of the ribbon chain and Gabriel's birthday. TTFN

Little boys 0_o

Why do little boys like being naked? I don't remember being a nudist when I was little. I'll have to ask my Mom if I was next time we talk. I am wondering why little boys like being naked because I went to check on Gabemeister and he had his mattress off his bed and he was reading a book and I was like you going to sleep soon? He was like "MOM get out my room now! I nakey!" He gets up to shut his door and he is indeed nakey!! I asked him where his diaper was and he just shrugged like he gets naked at night all the time. I put him to bed in footsie pajamas that I can't find either haha. It's like he fed them to his dog. I am not looking forward to his teenage years. Lets hope in time he learns to shut and lock his door when he wants to be nakey haha.

Finally it is Friday!

Who knew that a day could take so long to get through. Today felt like it would never end, and I was exceptionally irritable. I apologize to any innocent bystanders (such as my coworkers). I clearly was not caffeinated enough for today. Plus I wanted to rebel against everything today. Which is hard when it comes to the military. Rules are everywhere and it annoys me. I got so frustrated with the rules today that I felt like my chest would explode. I could barely contain my annoyance which was quite obvious. It is a good thing I am taking leave soon, I definitely need a break from work for a bit. I love my job but I think everyone can agree that sometimes it all gets to be too much for one person to handle. I'm going to play Susie homemaker during my leave. I miss being able to stay home with Gabriel everyday. It seems like it was forever ago that I was a stay at home mom. I would do it again in an instant if I knew we could afford to do it. Such is life. I think that stay at home moms are phasing out because of our effed up economy. It is a sad fact and I applaud those who can make it work. Maybe one day I can do it again. One can dream.

Insomnia

Insomnia hits me at the worst times, like when I have to work in the morning, or when I have something I really want to do the next day. I think the worst times though are when your waiting for something to happen. My husband has been at deployment training since early July. The first day he was gone I couldn't sleep I went to work feeling like a zombie 0_o. Now I only have about 36 hours until I see him again and I can't seem to sleep. I just want Thursday to get itself over with so I can spend Friday making him enchiladas, ice tea and cookies! Hopefully if I keep busy Friday the time to pick him up will come fast. I told our little boy that he gets to see Daddy in less then 2 days and he went to bed with a smile saying yay 2 days! This is our first deployment and this training time has been a roller coaster of emotions for our 2 almost 3 year old little person. I'm usually really good until bedtime or when our little guy gets upset and wants Daddy. Then I miss him like crazy. I really hope the next 8 months or so fly by quickly. I should at least attempt to sleep. TTFN
