Feb 19th...
Today was pretty busy and as exhausted as I am, I think that's a good thing. I am not opposed to making the days go by faster, at least until Derrick and I are a little more used to this separation stuff. Our tax refund came today so the first thing I had to do was head to Lowes and get a dryer. I had already been looking on-line so I knew which one I wanted, but I figured if they had it at the store, maybe it could be delivered today so I loaded up the kids and off we went. Well they did have it, as well as the pedestal drawer underneath and the matching washing machine (which Derrick applauded me for NOT buying) but of course they can't deliver it until next Tuesday. Kind of funny when you think that our house is less than 1/2 a mile from the store. Oh well, that's how life is without a husband at home I guess, I have to learn to make do on my own and if that means wearing dirty clothes for a few more days...we will survive. After Lowes we went to Kroger for some groceries and I was dreading it a little to be honest. Cael's attention span is only so long and we had already spent half and hour at Lowes. To make things a little easier for him I bought him a Toy Story book and sacrificed my dignity by pushing around one of those carts with the car on the front. He was satisfied with all that and let me shop in peace for the most part! When we got home, I ordered a crib for Averi (yay!) and a bed for our room (double yay! no more air mattress!) and then I fixed the curtains that Jo pulled down, washed the dishes, vacuumed the floor and took the garbage out! (That last one was aways Derrick's job, I will trash into that can until it won't even hold a q-tip anymore) But I did it, and I am very proud of myself today!
I got to talk to Derrick again today, but it may be the last time for a while. He is packing up and heading somewhere else for a few days for training and who knows if he will have as much free time when he gets there. We are both just going to keep our chins up and know that when we do get to talk again it will have been well worth the wait.
Oh by the way, I tried feeding Averi some carrots today (figured I should mention it, since that is my picture. If you think I am going to stop and take a picture at the grocery store and waste those precious minutes of Cael's not caring that we are there...you're crazy) Needless to say she did not like them! I have given her rice cereal on a spoon before and she seemed to really like it, but the carrots were just too much flavor I guess. I was laughing so hard and taking pictures of her and the whole time she just gave me this look and let me know just how mean she thought I was being to her. Poor babe, we will stick with rice for now and when we try food again I will go with something a little sweeter, maybe some bananas or pears. Sorry this blog drug on a bit!
