Oh Monday Why Must You Hate Me

Yay its Monday... just kidding I had a horrible morning. Our pug Nikko who is on a prescription diet to help his health issues decided he was going to go on a binge and eat the rest of our dog Bella's food. We usually leave Bella's down at night so she can eat and Nikko never touches it until last night. He ate about 2-3lbs of food and is still currently paying the consequences. So after eating all that I woke up to a mess on the floor first thing this morning and he is so bloated its crazy. He was supposed to go to the vet this morning but I cancelled it so that I can try to get some of the bloating down before they say something to me.

After dealing with him I got the girls up and to school. I went and finished groceries and came home to work on Girl Scout stuff before having to pick Peyton up.

I got to Peyton's school and her teacher pulled me aside to tell me that Peyton couldn't participate in show and tell today because she was talking when she wasn't supposed to and that she couldn't get her to focus during the large group activity. So when we got home I had a little talk with her which I'm sure has accomplished nothing.

Time to pick up Cassidy. That actually went well until we got home and it was homework time. Why do kids hate homework?? Her math seriously only takes like 5 minutes and then she has to read which we do after dinner. She didn't want to do her math so I fought with her until she did it.

The rest of the day we stayed in watched Hocus Pocus and had dinner.

Day 8 decorations are up

I know I'm early but we put up our halloween decorations today! I couldn't wait any longer! The girls love decorating  so it was something exciting for them to do since we had only did groceries the rest of the day.

1 week down!

Today marks the end of our first week.  We have many more to go but it gets easier as each week passes. I had our first yard/moving sale today and sold about 95% of the stuff. The girls had their lemonade stand set up and actually made about $20 in the 3 hours they were out there!  Then I took the girls to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. It was a cute movie, the girls loved it!! The rest of the day we relaxed and played outside. My parents took us to Ihop for dinner then we came home and watched the Avengers and called it an early night. 

Day 6 Yay no more cast!!

Today was a great day. I got the living room switched around. Put my new desk in and removed the old. Got my dining room back together all before having to pick Peyton up from preschool! Then after I picked Peyton up I went to pick up Cassidy so I could bring her to her dr's appointment! The drs appointment went great. First they removed her cast (oh the smell) then came the xrays and we were told from the beginning that she would need a short cast after the other cast but her xrays told different. She is now in a brace for the next 2 weeks then she can take it off the following 2 weeks then we go for our final set of xrays!!
We went to McDonalds for dinner to support Cassidys school fundraiser. The rest of the day was getting our stuff together for our moving/yard sale in the morning.

Day 5 accomplished

I got a lot accomplished today. I was able to purge the 3 bedrooms upstairs and finish our reburb project!  I also made yummy pesto stuffed chicken and grilled zucchini and yellow squash. I love the feeling of accomplishment. My anxiety came back a little today so I don't see a good night ahead but hopefully I don't have an anxiety attack. On a good note I am currently watching the season premiere of Greys Anatomy and so far loving it!!! Got another busy day tomorrow.

Deployment day 4

Today was a good day. I was able to get more purging done which included the laundry room and storage closet! I was also able to work on our refurb project, a desk that we bought for $40. We have been puttering on it most of the summer. We stripped, sanded and today I painted it! Almost done only have to stain the drawers and sides and put the hardware back on! Highlight of my day I got to have a 30 minute video chat with hubby!! He is doing good and settling in! The girls were actually pretty good today for a change too!! No signs of anxiety today or tonight! I hope I am finally getting anxiety out of my life. I think its because the end is near for us living in this place.

Day 3 this is why Tequila was made

Today started off good. I got started on the purging of our household goods. 2 rooms complete to be exact.  Then had to stop to bring Peyton to dance and get Cassidy from school.  Once were home everything started going down hill. The girls were getting irritated with each other so I seperated them. Then it was time for Cassidy to do her reading and that's when all hell broke loose. She always has a hard time when Max is gone and acts out but it gets old real quick. She through a tantrum like no other and let's just say she lost her tv for the rest of the week and will loose it longer if she acts like that again. I know they say that God would never give us what we can't handle but I think this is why they made tequila to help us through! (No I didn't have any tequila but it did cross my mind) the rest of the night went well and again no anxiety!!!

Deployment day 2

Today we went on with our regular schedule.  Got up and brought the girls to school then came home and finished my smash book of our road trip this past April. The rest of the day was nothing special. Cassidy did her homework and reading and Peyton read her book to me. I did get to watch Hostages and the furst episode was good can't wait for next week!!  And again no anxiety!! (This is a big deal to me!!!)

Deployment day 1

Well I dropped hubby off around 4 am and said our final military see ya laters. Max said his see ya laters to the girls before they went to bed. Thank God my parents were able to come stay the night so I didn't have to  wake the girls up.  The rest of the day we stayed busy. We went to tge furniture store and bought the girls a set of bunk beds and then came home ordered pizza and watched a movie. Pretty easy day. Oh and a good note no anxiety on the first night!
