He did WHAT?!?!

Warning: Bitching Alert to Follow!

Hubby spend $250 in the last 3 days at their first port stop! I'm fuming right now! Before he left it was all, "I promise not to go crazy when in port" and "in case we need to trasnfer after I get back I want to have some cash saved up to help with moving if we need to" and "I want to pay some stuff off since I'll be getting tax free pay". WHAT THE HELL?!

You know I understand going out for dinner and drinks or going on a tour or something, but I thought he might TELL me in an email that he was going out or something, that way I knew something would be coming out of the account. But no! I got nothing! I actually haven't gotten anything in terms of ANY emails in the last 3 days! You know, I make money too, and I was the one who got paid to today, so all the money he just spent, was the REST of MY bonus and then some from MY paycheck! Maybe I wanted to go out and get myself a little something. Maybe I wanted to get a new pair of jeans or a Nook Color or something. But no! I thought to myself... no, don't do it, you don't need it. There are plenty of books at the house you should read before you go getting and eReader. Or that I do have enough jeans in the house and I just can make sure I do laundry every week so I know I have enough to clothe myself for work. I understand he's in port and all... I get that. But you know... enough is enough! And is this just a preview of what all the port calls are going to look like?! If so... I want him chained to his rack for every port call! We can't afford for spending like this! I don't understand why he doesn't get it?! UGH!!!!!!!

Catch Up

I'm so sorry I've been away for so long! A lot has happened. After hubby deployed, I started putting a package together immediatly! I also had to include a new camera since his old one really just sucked. But I sent it 10 days ago and he has yet to receive it! I'm pretty bummed about that and so is he since they've hit a port in Europe and all the guys were going out one night or another. I'm currently putting together another package for him. This time a Valentine's Day themed one. I'm also going to include some special goodies for all the guys in the plant with him. Anyways... other exciting/ drama-filled news:
*a friend of mine had her baby boy today and he's completely healthy! yeah!!!
*I backed my boss' car into another car with her children in the car on accident
* one of the boys I nanny had a birthday
*I got a phone call from my love!
*two of the other boys I nanny were in a bus acciddent (they're completely fine, thank goodness!)

I do get emails. Average is like once every other day. Sometimes once a day. But he's only been gone for two weeks so thats not a real good premise for an average!

I do have other exciting news! I may get to go to Europe sometime this summer!!!! My parents are going on a trip and thought it might be a nice birthday present for me to go! My father said the "birthday fairy" and "Santa Claus" may team up and even pay for the plane tickets and hotel! how awesome are the "birthday fairy" and "Santa Claus" for offering this wonderful present?! I'm so excited! I really hope that this really does become my present! I would absoultely LOVE it!!! So I went and applied for a passport, got my pictures taken and everything, picked up a Europe book to look through from AAA, and even have done some research for plane tickets and reviews for hotels in different areas! I am so excited! I'm afraid that if something of this present and plan fall through I will be completely devastated! But i think the "birthday fairy" and "Santa Claus" will come through for me! yeah!!!!!! :D

Via Email?!?!

okay...background info: there's a long-standing joke between hubby and I that he's working on inventing and building a teleportation device/ time machine.

current situation: so I got an email from hubby talking about how he wasn't feeling well with a cold... you know; runny nose, sore throat kinda stuff. Within hours of reading that today, my nose started to feel runny and then stuffy and now I have a sore throat. So now I have emailed him claiming that he has given me a cold via email! None of the boys I work with are sick right now. Hubby (who'se deployed) is the only one! It is the weirdest and funniest thing to me!

Anyways... I'm going to bed now heavily medicated so I can make it through my Friday tomorrow. I'm glad it's Friday tomorrow, but now it's going to be a lot longer since I've started feeling this cold. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow because I've got plans and I don't want to postpone them. sorry this is a short one, blog world.

Day 4

ALLLLRRRRIIIIGGGHHHTTTYYY THEN! 4 days down! only a couple more to go! <--- complete sarcasm there. Anyways. This weekend has been decently productive. I went out and ran errands, bought some last minute things I need to send to hubby for this deployment, cleaned my downstairs, done about 6 loads of laundry, organized my downstairs and master bedroom. I also went grocery shopping and actually cooked meals instead of eating random junk from my pantry all weekend. I was lazy this last week with hubby leaving. I didn't go to the gym. The last time I was in the gym was last monday. 7 days ago. Uh-oh. I have my last free personal training session tomorrow. He's gonna kill me with that work out. I'll be honest with him and tell him that it was a really rough week and I didn't get to the gym and maybe, just maybe, he'll take it a little easy on me. I hope. I guess I have my fingers crossed.

In other news.... hubby has emailed twice. I'm pretty excited about that. He's told me that when they do pull into ports at various times, "they" (i'm not really sure who he means by "they") plan to have soccer games which he's completely ecstatic about! He and I previously argued about the fact that he wanted to bring his cleets with him on this deployment. I told him he wasn't going to need them! When they pulled into port I didn't think they'd be playing much soccer, but be sightseeing or going out to eat or something. But not playing soccer. Welp... he is very happy to make me say, via email, that "he was right and I was wrong". Who woulda guessed? Not I for sure. But I'm glad he's excited about it. Hopefully he doesn't have to work too much whenever they pull into a port so he can go play. He really loves soccer.

Anyways, I'm pretty proud so far of all I've accomplished. My week this week is actually pretty packed. I'm looking forward to some things this week and then getting to another weekend to knockout more cleaning and organizing. I'm the kind of persona that can keep things organized if I'm not completely crazy busy. But when I am crazy busy and the organizing gets put on the back burner like it has been these last couple of months, it's the hardest thing to get back into doing. But I'm doing okay with it. Then after that.... I plan on moving some furniture around and up and down stairs and such. My good friend M. came over this past weekend and helped me fix a beam on the outside of my front door that was blown off by the wind. It was very nice of him to help and I paid him in food. He just started school and moved into a new place and with some friends of his. I figured... new place.... probably not a whole lot of food in the house. So I sent him off with 4 grocery bags full of hamburger helpers, mac and cheese, snacks, and such. He's a good guy and said I could call on him if I ever need anything done that requires the help of a man like lifting or drilling or replacing stuff. You know... maintenance kind of stuff. He's a real good guy. I lucky to have him as a friend. Anyways, I have to get up in the morning for work. This 3 day weekend was wonderful, but it's back to the grind tomorrow. Goodnight internet world.

Day 2

So it's Day 2 and I have no motivation what-so-ever to do anything. But I know I really need to do a bunch of things. I keep telling myself that I have all weekend to do it all. And I honestly do. I even have a 3 day weekend to really make sure I get it done. but I am finding myself in need a neat-freak, OCD, organized pro to help me clean and organize my house. Usually once my house is nice and clean and looking organized I can keep it that way. But with hubby preparing for the big D, we have spent every moment possible together and enjoying each others company that we just said screw it to the chores. But I did accomplish a couple things today. I went to Best Buy and got hubby a new camera since his is like a billion years old with only a 4x zoom on it. It's a monsterous things too! I laughed when I saw it. So he took that one and I bought him a new one today with a case and an additional memory card. I also bought use some USB flash drives so we can exchange pictures, word docs, music, etc. I have a pink one that donated money to the Susan G. Komen foundation and he got a plain black one. I also bought some new DVD's, an xbox controller charging station and a microphone for my computer. I plan on signing up for skype tonight or tomorrow. I already know one friend is planning on signing up this weekend and I know my grandma already has skype, so I'm hoping I can convince my siter and parents to sign up too. I mean it's free. All they have to do is get a webcam and microphone set and we can chat whenever we want. I may talk to the in-laws as well. But my webcam will also allow me to record personal messages to hubby that I can send him and he can watch and we can actually hear each other's voices instead of waiting for a phone call that will cost us $1 a minute or more. anyways.... I also went to Bed Bath and Beyond.... probably a bad idea. I spend a good amount of money there in little travel size deoderants, fabreezes, toothpaste, gum, and other random little things that I thought he or others might have forgotten. I also got some goodies like candy and such to send him. I also bought myself a bathtub caddy thing with a place for a book and a wine glass (honestly i was more into the wine glass spot than the book part! lol) and a spa tub pillow thing. I also got a blender so I can make some smoothies and put whey protein in it as part of my new diet. So even though I had no motivation to really get up and go to work and clean my house, I did do some retail therapy which did help. Most of it was for him for a package to send him and I've always loved doing stuff like that for him anyways. So that did make me feel better which is good since last night I bought 6 bottles of wine. Hey! Don't judge! I just really love Mostcato!
On another note, I have found a group of women who are part of a support group through RESOLVE, a national infertility organization. Our little chapter is called Operation: Hope I believe. They hold meetings once a month and have a facebook page and even though I have not been to a meeting yet, I am excited about the next one so I can meet these women that have already shown me immense support via facebook over our infertility issues as well as this deployment. So I am very happy about that. So all in all, even though my general motivation is gone, I am doing pretty decent. Still wishy-washy in terms of songs, and memories, but I know it'll get better. especially now that I have wine to help! lol
