Day Two

Today has been one of those days where you are busy but in a good busy way. It's hard to explain.

Wake up time for me is supposed to be 7:00 but today I slept in till 7:40. Lucy did too which was nice. We talked to James. He wants to come home so badly but he is tron with saving as much as we can before he comes home. I made a pact to save $4,000 for a car of my choice by December. I know I can do it, I just have to give up mindless shopping for 4 months. That's okay, right? I don't need anything really. I have enough clothes, I got a library card so I can rent books, and I have found places to have free entertainment. I can save its just so hard, especially with James gone. Shopping is my only outlet for stress relief and boredom. I have to find other things to keep me from being bored. The good news is I have trimmed starbucks down to one-two times a week, which is good for me.

We had a wonderful time at Kate's pool. Emily and Lucy are so cute together. It's good for Lucy to learn how to share and you can't take something out of someone else's hands. Poor Lucy, she got bite by ants yesterday at the park and she is blistering bad on her feet and arm. I feel so bad for her because she keeps scratching. I keep putting bendandryl on it but the bites will have to heal on their own.

Only 3/4 months to go till James comes home. It has been a very busy year which has made the separation gone by fast. Thank God! He just needs to find a job here and bam...on to another part of our life. It will be nice to be a normal family again with dinner together, watching tv, and just hanging out together.
