the deployment diet and a normal day

Today was not bad. Started with me getting a glimpse of myself naked before getting in the shower and oh my! I immediately got on the scales. Now I don't weigh myself frequently, maybe once a month. But out of vanity, I did it before going to visit the husband just about 2 weeks ago. And this morning I was 12 lbs short. And it came off in the right places, the gut area... :) So, without even trying I have managed to trim down. Gotta remember to eat mama, no matter how busy. It's been the running around after the kids and not being stuck in my cubicle 8 hrs plus I'm sure.

Today's events... Still raining. Got to talk to husband for 3 whole minutes this morning. Gonna call him up in a bit. Don't want to interrupt but I need to be selfish. Checked mail. Had a mission readiness package with lots of good info for our family during deployment. Treated myself to a movie. Halloween 2. Hee Hee Hee. That was fun. Picked up girls from school. Came home and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. More laundry and the usual toy tornado aftermath. Picked up kids from daycare. Refused to let them destroy my clean kitchen so kids decided on CiCi's pizza for dinner. We got our pictures on the wall, honey! Do not serve these people! The kids make a total mess! Got kids home in one messy piece, baths and bed for them. I actually made it out in public with the kids and no tears all day!

No deep thinking today. Just know you are loved, my precious husband. We miss you so much! And now, we wait...
