Finish the sentance

My roommate and I once: jumped on the bed just for the fun of it. (ok I couldn't come up with anything because besides my sister and my husband I have had no other roommate.)

Never in my life have I: lived in an apartment or condo.

High School was: awful.

When I am nervous: I wiggle my toes.

My hair: is as straight as a board unless it is humid and then it is frizzy.

When I was 5: my brother droped a sheet of plywood on my head and i was stuck under it for about 3 min.

When I turn my head left:
it makes my neck hurt a little.

I should be: changing Leos diaper.

By this time next year: we will be back with Hugh.

My favorite Aunt is: nothing like my mean Aunt.

I have a hard time understanding: Leo.

My ideal breakfast is: an omlet.

If you visit my home town: say Hi to Mrs. Danado who is like a century old by now.

If you spend the night at my house: I'm not sure where you would sleep because my kids and I are already in the guest bedrooms.

I shouldn't have been: so annoying growing up.

Last night I: let the kids stay up till 8. Big mistake.

I've been told I look like: Lindsay Lohan and Marcia Cross.

Well that was fun.

Doing well

I got another info thing from Hugh on Saturday and then Saturday night he called again. I guess there were 4 or 5 platoons that raced against each other in an obstacle course and his platoon won so they got to call home. It worked out good when he called because the kids were still up so he got to talk to them. It was a longer phone call too. He is doing good and talking to the kids seemed to cheer him up good too. And I have his address now from the letter I got Saturday. So everything is finally looking up!!

Still alive!!!

I got a letter (sort of) from Hugh. It was just paper work so I can go get my ID. But I still have no address. Then tonight as I was doing dishes, I got a phone call. It was Hugh. Hurray!!! I did feel bad that the kids weren't up to talk to him. I had just put them in bed. We got to talk for about 4 min. He is doing ok. He said its not really that bad being there. But it is all physical stuff all day and about 3 hours sleep. He said the hard part is being away from me and the kids. But overall he is doing ok. Well that's it just wanted everyone to know he is still alive.

Oh What a Beautiful Morning!!


Well, here at my parents house I have had the kids sharing a room. And they just haven't been able to sleep past 7am. Sometimes Leo would wake up before 7. One morning he woke up at 6am. I just couldn't understand what the problem was. They are supposed to sleep till 8. Well I decided that it was Leo waking Katie up in the morning. I wanted at least one to get good sleep. So I moved Katie to Uncle Shawn's room and also moved the spare bed that was in the kids room. Put them to bed last night in their own rooms. This morning Leo didn't wake up till 7:50am. YEA!!!! I am so happy. I now think that it was Katie moving around in the morning getting comfortable that was waking Leo up first.

Along with having the kids sleep normal, I got to get a new dress sewn for Katie. I have a lot of material left over from it and I hope to get a pair of pants for her out of it and maybe make a dress for her doll. I just don't know if it will be enough fabric. I might try to make a skirt for me with it. But like I said, only if I have enough left over.

I have still not heard from Hugh. But I have been comforted. There is a girl in the branch that served in the military for 5 years. She said the first 3 weeks they don't have any time to themselves. She said not to worry he is just being kept really busy. I have also heard from others that the first 3 weeks are hard. So I am just going to relax and not worry about it too much. I have also been given the advise to keep busy. SO maybe I will get a lot more sewing done.

So the start of October seems to be a good one.

I just had a depressing thought. When my Dad walked in today I asked if he wanted to see what I made. It made me think of when I would show Hugh what I had made. I miss being able to show him my creations.
