Jared has been gone nearly two weeks now... and it's just one big party after the other here! NOT!
I never had any idea what being a single mother was like and I give my full respect to any woman who manages a household alone... whether it be because she has no husband, or because he just isn't there... It is far from easy and I have much more respect for my mother too!
The girls are holding up pretty well. Things. of course, aren't apple pie, but we are getting through and have a pretty good routine (which includes mommy forgetting to sleep 90% of the time!). We often have "girls" night where we enjoy fingernail polish fumes and whale fat on our faces in order to beautify ourselves and feel "dressy". We have a movie night at least once a week where we eat hoards of popcorn to add cushion to our figures and sit mindlessly in front of the television for hours.
On the active side of things we do regularly go to the park and walking around the mall. Church on Sundays is set in stone of course, but other then that we rotate what days we have special times and what days mommy kindly says, "get your butts in bed, I don't care if it's only 6:00...and no you can't eat dinner because I have too much homework to cook!" (we try to space those out as much as possible for legal purposes of course!)
Jared gets to call my on Sundays for about 2 minutes...literally. Just enough to say how awful the people are and how much fun he isn't having and that he misses us and loves us....and to ask about the guys on xbox?!?!?! It's really s shocker because for once he does all the talking and I can't get a word out edge-wise!
That's about it for now I suppose. Things are otherwise on the normal side. Cadince turns two in 6 days...geez. I am not ready for that! They do grow up fast!
Leave me some feedback and let me know how everyone is doing. I will be posting Jared's address in a few days so you can all bombard him with mail that he will have to do push ups for! lol
I mean it! It's just helping him build muscle strength and endurance!
till then
au revoir
Our Walk Together

Hey women,
Just think, only a few more months of this and then he will be home. And then you'll be wishing he was gone again, so the army will send him away. And you will spend the whole time he's gone wishing he was home, only for him to come home and once again you wish he would go away. It really is a vicious and endless cycle. No, actually I am just teasing...or am I..........
