Projects

So, tomorrow Robert leaves for two whole weeks. That means, it will be just Bobby and me for 14-16 days here in El Paso. What to do? I don't drive much resulting in me not knowing where things are. Hmmm....

Field time officially sucks!!!!!! I barely keep my sanity during the one week field tours. This means that I have to keep my mind off the fact that he is gone. So, thankfully, I was able to get all Jayden's stuff (the majority of it). So, I will be busy getting his room all cleaned out and together. I have a list of things that I have made that will take (should take) me about two weeks to fully do.

I gotta make the two weeks fly by and they will not if I just sit on the couch counting down the days. When my dad goes on trips, my mom always did projects. When my brother in law was deployed, my sister would do projects and keep herself busy. I have come to realize that in order to survive the Army schedule, I must consume myself in tiny little projects.

So, putting together Jayden's room, decorating the house (with help from an amazing friend), organizing the house (really organizing), surprise project, hmm... I think that will consume me for two weeks. Not to mention all the school work that I will have to do. My ethics class is going to keep busy enough with just the homework, reading, assignments and quizzes. Whew...I am worn out just typing that out.

So, all in all, I am hoping that these two weeks FLY by with all that I have planned. I just hope that I can have all the energy to do it. Bobby wears me out and he will be going stir crazy, so I am going to have to take him to the park too. 30 weeks pregnant + toddler + long list of To Do + Appointments + No Husband = one worn out 22 year old. :) It doesn't matter, my husband is getting the training he needs, and I am keeping busy!! :) I love my life. I really do. The Army has really taught me how strong I am and how much I can do on my own. You never know how strong you are until it's your last option. SO, these two weeks are going to fly by and before I know it, Rob will be back home and we can start preparing for Jayden's arrival. :)

P.S.

Yes, the Army sucks, but I love this lifestyle.. Just saying.
