10 - 12 Days and Counting

I cannot believe that in less than two weeks my husband will be home. And he has agreed to give me the first Saturday off! I get to go out with friends all by myself! No kids... no husband... I might have to take my sister but still. I get peace for atleast a couple hours!

It seems so surreal that he will be home so soon. This deployment has just flown by. It is so strange to think that if he had come home when originally planned that he would already have gone back. It's just CRAZY!!!

Besides him being home so soon... his parents will be here just a couple days after that! I have so much to do and so little time. How the heck am I supposed to get this house cleaned when the kids are messing up right behind me?! AHHHHH!!!

I know John isn't coming home to see the house but still. And there is no way I can leave it the way it is when I know his parents are coming. I just wish I was more of a clean freak and that there were more hours in the day. Good thing my sister is here cause she is a clean freak. She has been such a great help!

I suppose I should be doing something more productive than writing a blog but you know I couldn't let down my fans seeing as I've written everyday this week! Yay! GO ME!

My Sweetheart of a Husband

I wasn't home on Saturday to get my surprise birthday flowers that he sent me. I went to bed Sunday night thinking that I would call in the morning to see when I could expect them to be delivered. My sister ran to the store and my neighbor must have saw her pull in the driveway because she came over to deliver my present!!!

At first I was thinking, "Who the frick is ringing my doorbell at midnight!?" but then once I saw the package I was just in awe. The flowers were beautiful. A HUGE bouquet that must have cost a fortune! I even got a balloon, a bear and a box of chocolates! Not that I need the chocolates since Im starting my diet but it was the thought that counted.

My sweet husband that hasnt bought me flowers in FOREVER and has been deployed for the past 8 months was sweet enough to call on my birthday and send me the most beautiful birthday bouquet. The perfect gift would have been for him to be home but that's ok... I'll take what I can get.

Thank you baby for taking time from blowing shit up to remember my birthday and to send me such a sweet gift. I never would have thought you would do something like that since you haven't sent me anything, EVER! Thank you! I love you!
