5 MONTHS DOWN!!!

WOW!!! Another month has come & gone! This was a pretty tough month for me. I found out news about the extension and honestly it hit me like a ton of bricks. I put on my happy face but I just wasn't feeling it. So for 2 weeks while the boys were at school I moped around the house. But I am glad to say I am out of that funk and back in my happy place! Just taking everything one day at a time. That's all you really can do.

This month I:

• Sent out 5 (I think) care packages. I know it was at least 4 though. I send at least one out a week. 
• Talked to the hubs 5 or 6 times. Always makes my day/week. Just talking to him, knowing he's okay and that he's thinking of us too makes everything so much easier. 
• Watched The Hunger Games with my boys. And we decided to start reading those books too. They are loving them as much as I am right now. I love that my boys like the same stuff I do. And I LOVE that they love reading as much as I do. At least they got one good trait from me. 
• Gained a pound. Jumping off the wagon for those 2 weeks really did a number on my weight loss. But I am back on track now and that is all that matters.
• Started Turbo Jam. I absolutely love it. OMG it's a freakin workout but the moves are simple so I can actually follow along. I am not very coordinated. 
• Went to the casino and to a concert with my mom & twin. That was a SUPER fun day! I freakin loved it!
• Went & saw Safe Haven. (At least I THINK that was this month) Super good movie. And what better way to spend twin time than watching a chick flick?
• Spent at least one day a week with my twin. I know I've said this before but I couldn't do this without her. Once I start gettin bummed, I realize I get to see her tomorrow and have a fun day and it helps me make it through yet another week missing my love. 
• Had another girl's night. We went bowling, out to the bar, then back to my house from drinks & girl talk. It was a blast. I LOVE girl's nights!
• Volunteered at my kiddos school. Also decided that I was gonna start volunteering every other Friday. I'm gonna be an achiever mom. And it'll get me outta the house. 
• Went to the Aquarium & out to lunch with my boys and my MIL. And planned ANOTHER box. I think I'm working on like 6 of them right now. I can't even store everything I have in my care package cabinet. 
• Spent Easter with my fam. It was fun as always. 
• Got more flowers from my hubs. Just because he's freakin awesome. I sure do love that man!
• Went to the circus with my boys, twin & nephews. A guy at my weight watchers meeting gave us free tickets (how nice is that?). It was a lot of fun. Crazy busy but still fun!
• And I helped my MIL out at her house.

This was actually a really busy month. Which is good. Helps the time fly by. Hoping this next month is just as busy. We are ALMOST half way to seeing him again. Whether it be him coming home or for R&R. I just keep reminding myself we're almost halfway there. That's all that matters.
