Here we are. Half-way through our first deployment. And life is...getting easier? I hate saying that, but we are finally getting into the swing of things. The picture below is a typical day. Both kids always seem to cry at the same time and need attention from mom. It's my job to give it, but whoa mama! Below are just a few random thoughts from these past three months!
1. Anything bad that's going to happen WILL happen. And probably all at once.
2. Sometimes you have to sacrifice things you would normally not do (like feed your kids macaroni and cheese or chicken nuggets for every meal, not bathing them every night, or brush their teeth).
3. Asking for help is hard, but OH SO NECESSARY.
4. Taking time out for me is very important.
5. Living with family is amazing. I honestly never want to leave.
6. Reading romance novels (ahem...50 Shades) while your husband is away is also another very bad idea.
7. There really is nothing better than receiving a love letter from your husband.
8. Little boys have a death wish. They like to push their limits and they may not survive until October. Seriously.
9. I am a terrible disciplinarian. James will have a whole lot of undoing to do when he gets home.
10. Sometimes, there is no other option than to sit on the floor with both of your crying kids, hug them tight, and cry right along with them.
