What's going on???

Well. I must say that today I am coming off a highly charged emotional roller coaster. I feel pretty good today, considering... I had Wingstop for dinner. Hubby went and hung out with his buddies for a few hours and made it home by 10 PM! So proud of him! :)

Quick update. We were able to get our bedroom suite delivered and set up over the weekend. It's beautiful! We originally just got the bed and the dresser and now that it's all in there, we want... or I want the night stands. So I went back and ordered those. Can't wait til we get them in! I went to Target and found the prettiest comforter set and throw pillows. And I bought some 400 ct sheets, 2 sets, to match. I spent 200.00 on bedding including new cushy pillows! I also got C and L new sheets and pillows. I am extremely happy with my purchase. And our new mattress is sooo comfortable.

We also bought an above ground metal frame pool. It's 15' x 42" and I think the kids are going to love it! Now if we can get the yard ready for it, we'll be all set! Our new kitchen chairs also arrived today. I love new furniture and toys. I also finally got the Xbox hooked up and played some games. I stink at the role playing games so far. But I kicked butt playing PacMan! LOL!


This past Monday was Memorial Day. We were invited to go to a posthumous pinning ceremony for one of hubby's buddies who died while they were deployed. We had planned on going... Hubby seemed in good spirits about it when the invite first came out over a month ago. However, the night before, I asked him a few questions along the lines of if he was wearing his dress blues, what time he wanted to set the alarm for, advised him of a message we got that had info about parking... things like that. And he mentioned how most of his friends couldn't relate to the movie we went to see, MacGruber, but his buddy would have... Seems to have been down about it over the last week or so. He said he wanted to stay home all day. So we declined my mom's request to get together and past up a visit to his aunt's celebration on Sunday.


Anyway, hubby snapped at me last night! And it caused this out pour of emotion that I think I was bottling up... stress hidden underneath happiness. I am so glad he's home but we are still trying to get on schedule with each other, still dealing with our day to day routine, work is kicking my butt and I love having an adult to talk to when I get home instead of just the kids. So it's the weird mix of feelings that I don't exactly know what to do with yet. It made me cry... We "made up" if you want to even call it an argument in like 10 minutes and I was happy again. I think my super long 9.5 hour work day got to me. The long weekend jam packed with stuff to do got to both of us. And maybe he was in a funk about his friend. Water under the bridge...


The twins have been climbing out of their cribs. Ugh. Or into each other's cribs. Elliebear had her end of year awards assembly today. She totally racked up on the awards. So very proud of her. Cici is struggling still with math. She passed all but the math TAKS test. We are still waiting for end of year report cards to determine if summer school is a go. I am proud of her for being so responsible and still dealing with school while hubby was gone. She (all of us) had a lot on her plate.

That's it for now. Gonna try to get some sleep. It is storming outside tonight. Guess that kinda goes with the territory inside... sometimes.
