So, I know I've been blogging alot more than normal. But, with my hubby gone, this is my equivalent of adult conversation. Don't get me wrong, I love talking it up with my kids, but my idea of a talking sometimes consists of more than just Barbies, dolls, snacks, and diapers. Normally when Jeremy's gone, I just hang out at my parents house. But with my dad still in the hospital, that didn't happen. This week I have come to the realization that I completely respect single mothers. I honestly don't know how they do it! And military wives......utterly amazing! I can't even begin to imagine Jeremy being gone for months and months at a time. I am so blessed to have a family and a wonderful husband. This week has been SO long though. I LOVE being a stay-at-home mom, but I really look forward to Jeremy coming home in the evening as well. Even when he has to turn right around and head off to church meetings, I love knowing that he's close by in an emergency (the blessing of living across the street from the church). I love being able to stop by his office during the day for a quick visit. I love when there's an extra set of hands to help me when all three kids are crying at the same time. It might not have been as bad if Andrew wasn't so tiny, but I'm exausted now! But, gratefully, my Jeremy will be home tomorrow!!!! And, the best part is that I'm not the only one who is excited. My kids miss their daddy! To me, that just reaffirms that he's a wonderful dad. So, this week especially, "Saturday is a special day" (name that tune)!!!!!
Just a quick something random, today at Target, my sis and I saw these shoes.....Jelly Shoes!!!!! And, in my size too! I loved these as a kid, except they always made my feet really sweaty. Meg and I thought they were pretty COOL (80's flashback)! They even had them in red and black as well. I don't think they'd look very trendy with my wardrobe of jeans and tee's and toting along my three kids. But I can always dream, right?!
