Deployment days 45, 46 & 47

Day 45 Bailey and I spent most of the day at home. We did run a couple errands before dinner at Candace's. Brynn got here in the evening right as Bailey was going to bed. Candace came over and she, Brynn and I hung out for a while and had some wine :) Fun day!

Day 46 Kayla and Candace came over with all the kiddos and Brynn did all of our hair! It took most of the day but we had fun! After we were all pretty, Candace, Brynn and I went to Pancho Villa for dinner! Of course Bailey and Declan came too ;-) Another fun day!

Today (day 47) We had a lazy day! It rained most of the day so Bailey and I just played at the house. We ran out to CVS and Food Lion before dinner then came home and cooked. We went for a little walk later, just Bailey, Hershey and I. Bailey rode in her little buggy. She went to bed before 8 so I need to get myself to bed early tonight too or I will be sorry in the morning!! I have been trying SO hard to eat better and lose weight but I am having some serious chocolate cravings!! Not just chocolate but yummy chocolate baked goods that I have not made yet but I'm getting really tempted! Ugh this is hard!!

Deployment days 43 & 44

Yesterday I had a Dr. appt in the morning. Bailey stayed at Kayla while I went. I stopped and tanned on the way home! Woo hoo! lol it's the little things! When I got back Bailey was ready for a nap and slept for about two hours! I sat outside with my book and a glass of wine and completely relaxed! Bailey and I ran a couple errands in the afternoon then had dinner at Kayla's and walked with all the girls and played outside.

Today (day 44) we ran a couple errands in the morning then went to the beach after lunch! Bailey loves the ocean! She just kept running to it which was a little annoying for me hah but I love that she was so excited! Kayla, her boys and cousin went with us. Bailey and I came home, bathed quickly and went over to Ashlee's for dinner! We had a good time :) It was a fun day!

Deployment days 41 & 42

Yesterday (day 41) , I woke up to a phone call from the plumbers saying they'd be there within the hour so I jumped up to clean my bathroom! Hah! I decided while I was cleaning to keep going so I cleaned the house most of the day and cleaned out my car! I made tuna casserole for dinner then after we ate we went for a walk with Kayla and Candace. We ended up taking two hours to walk... we had some issues lol so by time we got home it was bed time for the kiddos plus it was super chilly so we all went right in.

Today (42) we got up and got ready and went to Wilmington with Kayla to direct her to the airport to pick up her cousin. We went to Moe's for lunch since we don't have one here we had to take advantage then came back to Jville. Bailey went to Walmart for a few things then met up with a guy to pick up a little push buggy I bought for Bailey! I found it on lys for $20! I was pretty excited about it!! It was a little dirty and a little faded from the sun but for the money I was okay with that! After we had dinner we went out to try out the buggy and walk with Kayla. WE played outside for a while then came in and Bailey went to bed. I'm next! Good night!

Day 41 photo- Bailey was having snuggle time with Hershey, stuck in the water bottles again, going through the cabinets, just chilaxing :)

Deployment day 40

Today was a rough day for reasons I cannot share, my hubby had a rough day and I felt his frustration/upset and had some of my own. Even with everything I stuck to the plan for my day and dropped Bailey off at Jess' house so I could go shopping for clothes for me but for one I hate to shop for clothes and two I wasn't in the best mood so I ended up only buying a bra. I have still been wearing nursing bras even though I stopped breastfeeding a couple months ago so I was definitely in need! I'll have to try to shop for clothes again later or maybe wait until next month when we go to FL! After I picked up Bailey we came home and ate some dinner. We went for a walk a little later and played outside until bedtime, you know, the nightly routine around here! Hah! It's a good routine though :) Bailey has been in her crib about an hour but she has cried off and on and I can still hear her moving around. This is very unusual for her, usually as soon as I lay her down she goes right to sleep. I am having a glass of wine. This would be a two glass night but I only have one glass left so it will have to do! Hopefully tomorrow is a better day!

Day 40 photo- baby girl loves her jacket, her new thing: sitting in her toy box, eating a hot dog at Jess', playing tonight 

Deployment day 39

Another day down. Today was a good one! Bailey and I took a spur of the moment trip to the beach! We were headed out to run a couple errands and I just got in the mood for the beach so we went! Bailey loved the water and had fun playing in the sand! She wasn't too sure about the sand on her hands at first or how to walk in the sand but once she figured it out she was great! This wasn't her first time but in the past she didn't like the water and couldn't stand or walk in the sand so today was a much better experience! Last night before I went to bed I put together the picnic table we bought yesterday and this morning Bailey had fun eating a snack at it! She's still a little small sitting at it but I'm sure she'll grow into it in no time! After we got home from the beach we ate dinner then went for a walk with Kayla and her boys. We stayed outside for a while and played. Bailey decided to walk down to the neighbor's house two doors down to play with them. Of course I followed her. Their little girl isn't much older than Bailey. We all played there for a little while then came in for a bath and bedtime. I'm getting ready to bake cake in a jar to send Patrick then read the next book in the series I'm reading!

Day 39 photo- Bailey at her picnic table, laying on the floor watching me do my hair, pics for Daddy, beach pics, outside playtime, USA diaper!

Deployment day 38

This morning Kayla and the boys came over first thing to help me switch the TV's. After leaving the big one unplugged all night I tried it again this morning and had the same problems as last night and so I brought Patrick's game TV in the living room and put the broken one in the garage. It may be able to be fixed but I'm leaving that to Patrick to deal with when he gets home. There are a lot of things I will take on but fixing a TV doesn't sound like something I have any interest in! Bailey and I got ready and went out to run some errands. First stop was Toy's R Us to buy Bailey's picnic table that her Vovo sent us money for then we went to Lowe's, GNC and headed home. Bailey took a long nap this morning then was already tired when we got home so she laid in her crib for a while and I read. She never did fall asleep just relaxed for close to an hour. Sometimes she just likes some Bailey time in her crib. I talked to Patrick off and on for quite a while today on FB chat. I don't really remember what we did what Bailey got up but we were just around the house. She took an actual nap later in the afternoon and I continued reading. I finished my book and can't wait to go buy the next one tomorrow! Once she got up we went over to Kayla's and grilled chicken! We put Blake's crib together then the kids played in the crib for a while. They had so much fun, it was cute! Came home and Bailey went right to sleep. I am pretty bored now with no book. Maybe this is why I don't usually read, I get too caught up and then feel lost when the book is over. Luckily there are two more in this series but I don't know what I will do when I'm done with all of them! Oh my!

Day 38 photo- The kiddos this morning when Kayla came over to help me move the tv, Bailey's day, eating like a big girl with no high chair, playing with Aaden and checking out the new crib!

Deployment day 37

We ran errands to get some stuff for Patrick's next box then came home and made lasagna for dinner! We went to tan with Kayla after dinner. The kids were pretty cute playing in the car while we took turns going in to tan! We stopped at Sally's on the way home to get some stuff I needed to do nails then went for a walk. It was a super windy night but I like walking when it's windy! I don't know why but it motivates me more! After Bailey went to bed I went to turn the tv on and it wouldn't come on. It would just blink and make a noise. Grr! I unplugged it overnight and read my book and did some cleaning.

Day 37 photo- Bailey being lazy, playing, lasagna face, playing in the car and kisses from Aaden, in her pj's just looking cute :)
