Sorry :-(

I can't believe it's been 14 whole days since I last posted on this blog!  It's not that I hadn't wanted to blog...I just haven't really felt the need to blog anything.  But then today, I decided this blog was for ME, and I should at least post my feelings at the moment.   so here it goes.....

In less than 1 week, my baby girl will under go another surgery.  This time to take her tonsils and adenoids out.  I HATE it that she has to be put to sleep twice in one months time.   It stinks...really really stinks.   But hopefully this is just one more thing that will keep her from getting sick so much.  I just hate the recovery part.  She's going to be miserable and I'm going to be miserable but not able to show it.  I know if Josh were going to be here...he'd be such a huge help but he won't be and there is nothing I can do about that.  Don't get me wrong..I know he wants to be here more than anything and will worry himself sick until she's better.  :-(   We sure do miss him so much all the time, but even more so when things aren't going so great. 

On to other things....the kids are all doing great.   Just tonight Jared came up to me and started reciting his multiplication tables BY MEMORY!!!!  Honestly, we had been working on them a little bit, but only like the 1's, 2's and 3's...and he just starts doing random problems in his head and sprouting off the answers.   So, I decided to quiz him a little and started asking him harder one's.   not lying...he answered every single one of them in less than 3 seconds.  I am floored at how genius this kid is.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I can do accounting and work a calculator better than most people I know...but I don't do math in my head.  Even basic math has me counting in my head, so to have a kid who just naturally picks it up is awesome.  :-) 

Josh and I have a big milestone coming up.  On November 16th we well be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary!  I know...right?!?  That's just awesome and it SO does not feel like we've been married almost 10 years.  He'll still be in Afghanistan, so I'm sure I'll just be sitting at home with the kids and maybe order pizza to celebrate the occasion.  I've been entering a contest to win Chris Young concert tickets (front row seats) and Meet and Greet passes.   The concert is in Nashville on the 15th...and my theory is that if I can't spend it with my hubby, I may as well get to spend my anniversary in Nashville seeing my favorite country artist who I joke is my boyfriend :-)  To say that I love Chris Young music is quite an understatement.  It's my ringtone, my ringback tones, and constantly playing on my iPhone.  Most of his songs I can relate to Josh and I so that just makes him even better!  So wish me luck that I win the tickets.  The day they went on sale, I logged on to order tickets and the only seats left weren't good seats and I have no interest in the nose bleed sections.  :-(

I guess that is about all for tonight...I just hope I can get better at blogging.  I feel better after doing it just finding topics I want to "put out there" is a little hard for me.  :-(
