Monday Ramblings…

So I went to a baby shower this weekend…when folks asked when I was having another one, I had a reaction that is sooooooo not normal for me…The normal would be a look of fear….a look of.are.you.CRAZY. …after the looks, the words of No.way..Hell No.  One is enough would normally follow.  And then I would go get my kid off the roof top.  You get the idea. 

But this time…it was none of that.  It was a …well hmmmmmm ..kind of thing.

It would be that when the hubby is gone and wont be back for a year and half I would be at the point to want another kiddo.  By then I am sure that baby ship would of sailed.  My timing is always perfect!

Every heard of Heather Armstrong of dooce.com ?  This chic is freakin funny!  I have been following her blog for a while now.  She really just tells it like it is.  She was on Oprah recently.  Yeah she is that big!. Anyway..I thought some of you might enjoy her too.  Now I must warn you..if you take offense to things easily you might get offended.   I for one always get a kick out of what she writes.  She really just says it straight up with no sugar added.

Yippers..we made it…made it through the first week of daddy being gone.  Em has done pretty well with accepting that dad is at school.  When she ask about him, I tell her that.  Then she wants to know what his teachers name is and what does he eat at lunch and what is he learning and has he made any new friends.  You know the typical three year old stuff.  We wrote him letters on the back of Elmo postcards courtesy of The Military One Source Program.  They partnered with Seasme Street and came up with an awesome DVD on moms and dads deploying. 

Her letters said this…

Em: Daddy come home

Em:  Daddy come home now

Em:  Daddy come home now and bring me a puppy

Me: Em what is the magic word

Em: Abracadabra

Me: well that is true.
