We're Almost DONE!

This has been a long week. But at the same time, it's flying by. Work this week has been interesting. The usual but I have been mostly in pretty good spirits. I think I am just happy that I have some time away coming up from that place. I have been staying up pretty late each night trying to get ready to leave. So I am pretty tired.
Tired leads to frustrated. I was frustrated. I am frustrated. If not about one thing, then another. I have to say I was a bit shocked about something that my hubby told me happened to him as a result of an email I sent to our ombudsman. I was not getting a straight answer on the date of my hubby's arrival. And I still have a 3 day window.
I am no stranger to dates being moved around, things changing. I work for Att for goodness sakes. We jokingly say in our office that it stands for "at this time" because we go literally from day to day with new M&Ps for the business. Anyway, hubby told me to ask the "women's group" because they may know better than he did about the dates, so I did. And she said she'd make a phone call... Turned out she forwarded my email to God knows where and it was apparently misconstrued as my hubby not communicating with me and him getting a "pep talk" and I must say I was embarrassed. My email wasn't distasteful or disparaging to the military or my hubby or anything like that so I don't get it. I just wanted to get the days off work...
Anyway, I felt really bad for my hubby and I hope I didn't embarrass him or cause him any grief. But at least I know kinda what day now... :)
I have arranged for the time off. I am starting to breathe a bit easier. I am realizing that I am that much closer to holding the one I love so much. Seeing his face, knowing he is real. Because he seems to me right now like this perfect man that I dreamt up. I love that man so much. I got flowers at work again on Tuesday. Beautiful yellow tulips. Totally unexpected. I have no doubts that my hubby loves me as much as I do him. Corners of my lips turned up at the thought of seeing him. Got a box of goodies and a trunk of stuff in mail from hubby today.
Today was the twins birthday. My babies are 2 years old! I bought them a beautiful chocolate cake yesterday with their names on it and took it to the daycare when I picked them up so they would have it for school today. Got a text from the owner this AM while at work with a picture of the cake on the floor. She felt so bad. She went and bought another cake and in addition, when I picked them up, they had birthday boy & girl ribbons and balloons. Each of them, even the Princess! Pinky let her balloon go as soon as we walked out and tried to get in the car. It flew up, up and away and she didn't seem to understand why I couldn't get it for her. So the owner made up for dropping the cake. And the replacement, though a white cake instead of chocolate, was pretty good.
We took the left over cake, paper plates and candles to McDonald's. I let the kids eat Happy Meals and play. Bubba blew out his candles, threw his arms up in the air and said, "YAY!" It was the cutest thing! Pinky just stared at the fire... I bought them each an outfit, which they wore to school today. Just didn't see any toys that didn't seem like a waste of money. They barely play with the toys they have and I thought those would all be cool.
I bought a new bathing suit this week. I was so excited because I was able to get it from the smaller sized racks! I can't wait for hubby to see me! I hope he can appreciate my hard work. Just think if I was even a bit more dedicated to dieting right and exercise more often what I'd look like. I have lost weight... But I still need to tone.
I have 7 left over tickets to Ice at the Parks from our FRG function there in January. They expire end of April. I am going to allow Elliebear to have an early birthday party on Sunday. One ride on the carousel for her and her friends and then up to 3 hours of free skating. No point in letting them go to waste and I am not sure what will be going on when her actual b-day, which is just a few weeks away, arrives. Hopefully we will be busy transitioning into having the hubby home!
I cleaned out my closet today. Got a small garbage bag full of old clothes for the donation box ready. I have so much to do. And I want to have a beauty day before I leave so I can look super nice for my hubby. Who wants to come home to a hag, right? LOL.
It's Friday and I am so glad I made it. This has been a rough day. Love you sweetie! I can't wait to see you! It's almost time! I just want to pull you close and breathe in the scent of you.
God, I miss you. Didn't get to talk to him all day today. Hope that means you are moving in the right direction... toward home...
