28 February 2011

Today is the LAST day of February! I am glad this was a short month. My day was fairly uneventful, I guess. I wasn't feeling to good this morning. Bailey took another long nap. Holly sent me a text saying she wanted to go out and go to Verizon and Best Buy but I didn't want to wake Bailey. So she brought me Subway when she was done with her errands. When Bailey finally woke up I decided it was time to leave. Got Bailey ready then we went to Babies R Us to look for the freezer trays I want for her food. I found them and bought two. There were two in each pack. So I have four now. I am glad. I also picked up some pacifiers. Then I asked Bailey if she wanted a toy so I bought her this huge piano thing. She absolutely loves it! It's her favorite toy from Daddy. :) Thank you, Daddy. You're amazing. :) Anyways. Then I was going to go to WalMart but since it's the day before payday it was packed. I did a U-Turn and decided to go to the PX. I went there looking for baby spoons and C-Batteries and came out with a new security blanket, batteries, labels and highlighters. No spoons. The PX didn't have any. D-bags. Well, then I got home and Holly and I put the piano together. Put Bailey in it and let her go to town! I took some pictures and a video of it. I just don't know how to get the video off of my Mac, since I recorded it on here. My cell phone was completely dead. Daddy is going to have to see her in it on Skype tomorrow. So Skype better work. I went into the kitchen to put my food processor together because I was going to make Bailey's baby food when I decided I wanted to try to see how fast I could cut one of my fingers off. My thumb was almost the winner. I honestly thought I'd have to go to the ER because my arm was starting to feel weak. I lost a lot of blood and Holly kept asking if I wanted to go to the hospital. Haha. It's okay now. It stopped bleeding. We finished watching "A Scanner Darkly" and then she went home. I started on Bailey's baby food. A bag of peas barely made 4 - 2oz things of baby food so I did another bag. When it cools a little I am going to put them in the freezer and be done! I will probably have to go to WalMart and stock up on some more vegetables. This week will be peas. Perhaps next week will be carrots. I emailed mi amor until like 1230. <3 I love him.


Attached is a letter to Skype and Derek's internet.


To Whom it May Concern:
Tomorrow is going to be an awesome day. I would really appreciate it if you could work long enough for Derek to see Bailey eat peas and play in her piano. I really think I might cry then be extremely mad if you don't work. 
Sincerely Yours,
Mrs. Derek Wilcox

She loves her new toy. 

Mommy made Bailey peas. 

Mommy's poor finger.... :(

27 February 2011

Last night / very early this morning I talked to mi amor. He's amazing. Bailey's gotten into a habit of waking up at 7 in the morning. I don't know why. I dislike this new habit though. I went into her room and gave her her pacifier and turned on her aquarium and walked out. She fell back to sleep until 9:30ish. I love that she does that. I wanted to go grocery shopping early in the afternoon but she took a long nap. 3.5 hours. I finally went grocery shopping around 4:30pm and it took forever because people were being stupid. Always. I came out and forgot where I parked and our stupid car doesn't have an alarm button so I couldn't find it. I was actually standing in front of it the whole time. I felt like a dumbass. Bailey and I came home and relaxed. I put the groceries away and then Bailey got her bath and bottle. Now she's awake and giving me a cute look. I noticed that her bunny has a hole in it so I'm going to either have to sew it or find her a new bunny. Hopefully I can just sew it. Her poor rabby :( 

26 February 2011

Today was okay. I got to talk to my husband today. We tried Skyping but it was being gay. So he didn't get to talk to or see Bailey today. Which was a downer. But that's okay. There is always tomorrow. Derek and I determined Bailey's first words were "Yee haw." Anyways. I completely cleaned up the house because Dean and Cathey were coming over. It was nice having them over and showing them the new place. They stayed for about three hours and then Holly came over. We were just going to hang out.... When Bailey woke up. She was WAY overtired and didn't want to go to sleep. So we decided we were going to go out driving. We ended up at the old house and we passed it because we didn't see it....... She turned around in someone's drive way..... and turned back around and the house was gone. They tore it down. I'm actually upset about it. It was Derek's and my first house together and it's just.... gone. That house had a lot of memories and while some were bad there were twice as many good. I'm going to go back tomorrow and take pictures of the nothingness of the house. I know Derek isn't as sentimental as I am but it really was kind of sad to see that my house isn't there anymore. Anyways. That was my day. I'm going to relax for a bit before I talk to my husband tonight. 

My smiley girl.

She loves grabbing her Daddy's dog tags.<3

25 February 2011

Today is my baby's 5 month "birthday." I know before I had her I was never going to do the five month, six month crap but I can't help it. I just can't even come to grips with the fact that it's been five months since I gave birth to this angel.


On top of her being five months old, today was an AWESOME day! My husband and I got to SKYPE. It was monumental. I hope we're able to do that daily. I loved seeing and hearing him talk to Bails and she'd turn her head when she heard Daddy. (Unless she was too occupied with Yo Gabba Gabba.) It was amazing. It felt so good to hear his voice and see him. Oh how I miss my husband. 


After Derek went to bed Bails napped, and I did a little bit of school work. I didn't read but a paragraph before she woke up. We've been spending time together and watching some cartoons. 


I also bought The Sims 3 for my MacBook and I bought one of the extension packs. I'm going to play it a bit until it's time for Bailey's bath and bedtime bottle. Then I'm going to get back on my school work. I really need to crack down on myself. I only have until June to finish this course and it's already March. Derek will be extremely disappointed in me if I don't finish it and I really don't want that. 


--- Well I finished writing this 2 and a half hours later because Bailey got a little fussy earlier. She's in bed now so I'm going to watch The Tudors and read some of my real estate book. Hopefully I can concentrate. I have a lot of other stuff on my mind and 123092342 other things I feel like doing but I need to get this corse done. Even if it's just a little at a time. I have to do this. 

She loves her big girl bath.

Our babies! 

24 February 2011

Today was a very slow day. I woke up earlier than usual because Bailey woke up a little early. She took two morning naps instead of one, which was okay with me! Then she took another nap mid-afternoon. I wasn't feeling very good, so I took a nap too. It  was raining here today. I got an hour and a half nap before Bailey woke up and she ate and we played a little bit, before she got kind of cranky. So I gave her a bath and she ate her dinner baba. I was trying to watch this weeks Monday Night Raw, when there was a storm warning. Then another. Then another. The freaking DVR recording kept going off because of the storm alerts so I gave up. There is a tornado warning, flash flood warning and thunderstorm warnings in my area. Great. I went outside and flipped the table upside down and put it in a corner and moved the umbrella and chairs because of the winds these storms are going to produce. My luck the table or umbrella would fly into the glass door. 


I got my MacBook Pro today. At first I was like "ehh.... I don't know if I like it" but since I have been playing with it since I got it and using it I'm in love with it!! It's such a nice laptop. I'm glad I have an amazing husband who loves me and spoils me rotten. :) 


Hopefully this storm won't be too bad. I hate thunder. :( I'll probably sleep in the living room tonight. I'm listening to the rain right now and it's crazy..... I miss my husband.... He usually keeps me safe during the crazy weather. :( 

She likes sticking her tongue out at Mommy.

My Sleeping Beauty.

23 February 2011

I'm tired. Today was a long day, or it felt like it was. Bailey woke me up around 7. I fed her then put her in her bouncer and turned on Yo Gabba Gabba so I could take a shower. I talked to Derek for a couple of hours until I had to start getting ready for my appointment. I got to the dentist at 12:45PM and sat there for about 10 minutes. I went back and they cleaned my teeth. They hurt really bad tonight. I went back home (Holly watched Bailey for me.) and Bailey was still napping! She took a 3 1/2 hour nap today. It was crazy. I told Holly it was time for me to start cooking so I read some of the recipes I had. We decided on a Doritos Casserole. It had chicken, Doritos, cream of chicken soup and cheese. It would have been good without the Doritos. So, I'm not making that recipe for Derek. I also made cranberry-orange muffins. They're good. So I ate one for dinner. My MacBook will be here (hopefully) tomorrow morning. It's in Nashville right now. Oh, I also finally made an appointment to get my birth control switched. I have a lot of appointments this month. On the 4th is my consultation for my birth control, the 8th is a dentist appointment, 9th is Bowtie's appointment and the 26th is Bailey's. I should get a service tech out here this month to get my elliptical together. Of course, I'll end up having dentist appointments as well. So we'll see how this goes. I need to get a day-planner.
Welp, that's it. I'm exhausted tonight. After I catch up on some TV shows and move files from my laptop to my external hard drive I think I'm going to go to bed. I feel kinda crappy tonight. But I think it's mostly my mouth bothering me. Maybe I'll rub some of Bailey's teething gel on my gums.

22 February 2011

From Tuesday the 22nd. Well, contrary to popular belief I'm alive. Just because I didn't post a blog or answer texts doesn't make me dead. Just sayin'. Yesterday was a busy day. I did a lot of errands. Holly got pulled over by an MP because she was going like 5mph over the speed limit. I thought he said he was going to cite her but he didn't. I printed off the WWE tickets Derek wanted me to and then found a FedEx drop box and put them in there. I also met Holly's FRG leader. I like her a lot better than my FRG leaders, so I'm probably going to switch FRGs. Yep, I know it's not possible. But I don't go to mine anyways and this lady said no one goes to hers so if I go to her instead of mine won't be as irritated by all of the HHC wives that I see when I go to FRG meetings. Haha. I came home and fell asleep around 9. That was all. I thought I took a picture but my phone didn't save it. How lame.

21 February 2011

 Today was a long day. I learned a couple of things about me today.
1) I have an ugly personality when I'm hungry.
2) I can drive a U-Haul truck.


My morning started at 7:00AM like it usually does but then I started getting ready because I was helping Stacie move today. I met her at the U-Haul place since she had two other people who were supposed to help but are fucking assholes and decided to completely ignore her. So, I drove a U-Haul truck. It was interesting. At first it was pretty scary but by the end of the day, it felt like I was driving a regular truck. Well, Holly and I and 2 other people were lifting. Mostly Holly and I, actually. By the time we took the small couch out (which was the first thing we moved) we were exhausted and in bad moods. After the truck was loaded up, by this time I was starving and really thirsty, I drove the truck to the opposite side of Clarksville. Which sucked. Because the U-Haul truck isn't very fast. Well, my day got even worse when we had to unload the truck. She has a king size bed.... Which wasn't fun trying to get out of the moving truck. Bailey was a good girl today. I didn't hear a single peep from her all day. She's such a good baby. I'm so blessed with her. After all of that, I was about to go to FedEx when I looked through the papers I printed and realized Holly's printer only printed half of the tickets I was planning on getting shipped. I was pissed off so I drove home. I'm going to print the ones the printer skipped tomorrow morning and get those damn things out. Sorry, babe. I know. I'm not slacking. Tomorrow for sure. Anyways. I have a headache right now and my neighbors are being fucking ASSHOLES. I don't want to ..... But I think I'll end up calling the MPs tonight. I just don't feel like dealing with these fuckers. I can't wait to talk to my husband tonight. I didn't get to today since he never responded to me and I just miss him. We probably won't even have much to say. I wish we could talk on the phone. On a completely RANDOM note...  It really pisses me off when people take being with their other half for granted or complain about stupid ass shit....Stop whining that you haven't seen them because they went to work (or something.) I fucking hate that. My husband has been at work since October so count your fucking blessings. Ahhh, I think tonight I'm going to lay on the couch and wallow in self pity. Goodnight.

20 February 2011

Today felt like such a longggg day. I'm exhausted right now. I feel like I'm dozing off already. I went to the PX and bought an external hard drive. I got a 2TB one, because it was the exact same price as a 1TB one. Which is stupid. So I hope no one bought a 1TB hard drive when the other one was the same price. But I wouldn't doubt it with all the tards around here. Holly and I watched "Life as we know it" and "Splice." 
I was expecting Life as we know it to be a good movie, but it wasn't all that great. It was cute and had a few good parts but I had higher expectations. I'm glad I didn't buy it at the PX like I was going to. Splice was.....weird. Disgusting. Bleh. 
Bailey was being a cutie today. She was in a really good mood. I love when she's happy. She went to sleep around 8PM. She got a bath, and had her baba and went right to bed. She is such a good girl. 
And that was my day. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I'm going to go to FedEx and help a friend move from Hopkinsville to Clarksville. Hopefully Derek gets online soon so that we can talk for a little while before I go to bed. 

19 February 2011

Again, this is actually from yesterday but I didn't write it then. Yesterday was uneventful, except for the fact that I ordered my MacBook from the Aafes website! I can't wait to know when it'll be shipped to me.  I also called Nordic Track again and I should get a call from a Tech on Tuesday. Hopefully. After talking to my husband for a little while, I got up to go out with no particular place in mind, but I saw that Stacie was thirsty. I know what it's like moving and it is not fun, so I took her a McDonald's sweet tea. Then I decided I'd drop in on Holly since I was still bored and didn't want to go home. We hung out for a little while then Bailey and I got tired and we went home. We got there, and Bailey was exhaustedddd. I changed her and put her in pajamas then she went to bed for about an hour. The neighbors got loud for about half an hour and Bailey was up almost an hour and a half after they quieted down. It wasn't TOO bad. But it didn't help that I was tired, too. I ended up going to sleep around 10:00PM. I woke up at 2 in the morning and saw that Derek had sent me a text message. I sent him an email to his work email address but he didn't reply. That was the extent of my day.

My morning cup of hot coco. :)

Daddy's big girl!!!!

This happened after she smacked her head with the baba.

18 February 2011

I woke up at 9:00AM and was glad Bailey let me sleep in. It was the first time in awhile that I got a full night's sleep. I actually ended up falling asleep watching Inglorious Bastards with Holly here. She tried waking me up but I was completely out of it. They must have drugged me at the ER last night. Those le douchenozzles. Well, I talked to my honey and he told me to get a MacBook Pro since he got one and is in love with it. So, I went to the post office in the Cav and sent out his boxes then I went back on post and went to the PX and the lady there told me they didn't have any of the Mac's I wanted. 
 Then I went to Best Buy in Clarksville and they didn't have any, either. He told me for some stupid reason he couldn't order anymore. He also told me the closest place I could go was Nashville. I was really pissed off, so I searched on my phone and thought that Electronic Express sold them. I got there and he was like "We won't for another four weeks. But you can try Office Depot" So, I went there and no luck. I decided I'm going to Nashville tomorrow. Haha. I got home and saw a note on my mailbox, and it said there were "tuff boxes by front door" I'm really sad Derek's toughboxes beat him home. :( I hope he comes home soon.
Bailey got a bath tonight. She enjoyed it. I was feeding her cereal then she started screaming. She looked tired so I put her in bed. She was screaming for about 30 minutes and then she fell asleep, as far as I know.
For some reason, I keep thinking today is Sunday when tomorrow is only Saturday. I hope this weekend isn't as long as this week has been. I need to stop slacking and just put pictures on my blogs but I don't feel like looking for my camera right now. So maybe tomorrow will be a better day for that.

17 February 2011

February 17th was actually yesterday. But I didn't get to post a blog from yesterday. Yesterday was pretty much a bum day. I was waiting for UPs (Yes. Up's aka UPS) to get here and deliver something that I am mailing Derek. They didn't get here until 5:30. Also. Never open other peoples mail. It's a federal offense. I almost learned that the hard way. Then Holly took me to the ER. My side was hurting pretty bad. I was there for like four hours and then they had nothing to tell me. They even had an IV in my arm and never did anything with it. I hate needles...... Anyways, I'm probably going to make an appointment with my PCM. However, it's feeling a little better today. I like OD'd on Tylenol last night and this morning. So who knows whats hurting. It went away because I probably have an ulcer now. I checked the mail and Derek got his title to the car, from his Nana. I would take a picture of it but I'm not feeling up to it. Annd that was my day. The end.

16 February 2011

Bowtie went to the vet today. She's microchipped now. I went out and bought her food and my debit card wouldn't work so I used Derek's credit card. People here are so stupid. When I got home, Bailey didn't want to nap. She was up until 10pm. That's the latest she has been awake in a very long time. I'm really glad the day is over. Please, please let tomorrow be better for me. I don't want to have two shitty days in a row.

15 February 2011

Well, today was okay, I guess. I woke up and cleaned up the house a bit. Derek's Major's wife came over and dropped off a disc of pictures from when Bailey was born. It also had a little video on it. I burned it to another disc and put it in the box that I am sending to Derek. Derek and I were IMing all morning and well into the afternoon. It was interesting. He fell asleep mid-IM, I guess so we stopped talking around 1PM. I decided that Bailey and I would take a nap, since she was already napping. We both slept until 3PM. When we woke up, I was going to go to the post office but unfortunately I didn't make it there in time. Sorry, babe. I'll go first thing at 9AM tomorrow and get those sent to you. Around 4ish, Holly came over with food. We ate and watched Paranormal Activity 2. Not going to lie, it scared me at some parts. Then I went on to IMDB because I swear it was filmed in the same house as the first one. It totally looks like it. While Googling for my answer, I saw that they are making a PA3. How stupid. It's due out October 21, 2011. I think I remember Derek telling me about it, but I'm not absolutely sure. However stupid it may be, Derek and I will most likely end up seeing it. After that we were looking through the OnDemand movies on Comcast and we decided to watch Pet Sematary. It made me miss Derek. I love watching horror movies with him. I still hate the part where Gage cuts Jed's Achilles Tendon. He knows how I feel about that. *Bleh.* I fell asleep through the movie but was waking up now and again. The movie ended and Holly went home so I decided I'd get on here and write my blog. That was the conclusion of my day. Exciting. Tomorrow Bowtie is going to the doggie doctor at 2PM. Should be fun. Poor girl. 

Sneaky ass squirrel.

14 February 2011 - Valentines Day

Bailey woke up at 6ish this morning. I was kind of upset about that, considering I went to bed at like 430. I walked in there, and grabbed her, her pacifier and Bunny and we laid in my bed. That was the first time Bailey had been in bed with me in a very long time. We woke up at 9:30 and she had her breakfast bottle. After that, Derek got online and we got on webcam. Derek loved seeing Bailey and Bowtie interact with each other. Derek told me that I needed to call Nordic Track customer support about my elliptical since it's still not put together. I did and I got some pretty cool lady on the phone. She is sending a tech out here to see what the problem is. Whenever that happens. Halfway through my phone call with customer support, someone knocked on the door and had a vase of flowers, a balloon, chocolate and a little bear in her arms. :) Yep. I have a pretty amazing husband. He sent Bailey a teddy bear, me some chocolate and the balloon, card and flowers were for Bailey and I. His card made me want to cry. I miss him. We talked for a little while longer and then he got tired. I decided I wanted to go to the PX to buy a new camera so I could send Derek our current camera. I want him to take pictures while he's gone. Hopefully he can take one for Bailey's Daddy Doll??! (HINT HINT, BABE!!!) So, I consider my camera and my elliptical part of my Valentines Day gift. :) I have an awesome husband. When I was done at the PX (which, I'd like to know what was going on there. Someone famous had to of been there because I saw a huge line) I decided to go to WalMart so I could finish getting things to send out in the box I have ready for Derek. I got so much, that it's broken up in to two boxes. I'm also sending him our Big Bang Theory DVDs. Seasons 1 through 3. :) I bought Season 3 today at the PX. Oh! And surprisingly, I didn't spend as much as I thought I would have. Something must have been on sale. Which was pretty neat. When I got home, Holly was waiting on my street like a creeper. Today was the first time we hung out in a looong time. After she left, Bailey and I watched some cartoons for a little while and at 1800, she took a bath. She was asleep at 1900, which means I'm going to have an early day tomorrow, but that's okay with me. Since then I have been watching The Tudors. I really enjoy this show. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the post office and get Derek's boxes out. Overall, I had a good day. I love when I have good days.

13 February 2011

Well, I got my elliptical today, which is AWESOME. I started putting it together like 20 minutes after they delivered it and was doing well for a while up until like the 2nd to the last step. My hands are swollen and red and I have a bruise on my elbow and leg from some of the parts smacking into me.. I'm in a really bad mood. I wish Derek was here so he could do this, but I really don't think I'm the problem. It seems like it's the elliptical. Around 8 o'clock, Bailey and I were laying on the couch, and we both fell asleep. I woke up and put her in her crib and started back with the elliptical. I tried at least 100023423948029384019284987 different ways to get this piece on and no luck. I'm going to call Nordic Track tomorrow and see what they can tell me. Because this really isn't working out. I have been emailing my love on and off since I woke up. But, I think he went to lunch since he's not replying.

She loves smiling.

12 February 2011

Today was another slow day. I was going to go to a Scentsy party but when I woke up after my whole four hours of sleep, I didn't feel good. Bailey and I took lots of naps again today but I'm still determined to get myself on a somewhat better schedule. When Bailey woke up at 0800, I decided it was time to try spoon feeding again. Our last try wasn't all that great and this time she did AWESOME!! She ate about 10-12 Tbsp of cereal then had a 6oz bottle. Then we played with a few toys and Bailey took a little nap. She woke up when her bunny was on her face. She was fighting with her until bedtime. Now they are both in bed. Anyways, we talked to Daddy for a few hours and then Bailey and I fell asleep again around 1pm and took a nap until 3ish. I am still not feeling good. I have a headache right now and my stomach kind of hurts. Stupid birth control. Bailey ended up not going to bed until...well she isn't asleep yet right now. But she's in her crib talking to herself and it's 2130. We had a late start tonight, obviously. TOMORROW is the day I get my elliptical. I'm pretty excited. I've already lost some weight by not using it so I'm anticipating seeing what I lose when I use it. I guess that has been my day. I miss my husband tonight. But we're holding up. We can do this. I love you, babe! 

We did great with cereal today.

She held her own baba!

Before Bailey and the bunny got in a fight.

11 February 2011

Today was just crap. Bailey and I woke up at 7 and played for a few minutes before she took her morning nap.  I actually got to talk to my husband for a few hours, for once. He didn't have any kind of BS duty. Then he got tired so he went to sleep. Bailey and I went back to sleep, too. We slept almost all day. Maybe she wasn't feeling good, either. Despite both of us sleeping all day, she fell asleep at 7:30PM for bedtime. I didn't even get to give her a bath tonight because she was so cranky and wanted to get in her bed. Now I'm watching Dateline NBC. I'm hungry but don't feel like cooking so I will probably skip dinner tonight. Welp, here's to hoping tomorrow is better. 

Getting better at sitting up.

10 February 2011 - "Wasted."

Today was completely wasted. I did absolutely nothing which is pretty depressing. Snow is still around, which is gay. My WIC appointment didn't happen because apparently they closed the office and didn't bother calling to tell anyone...Which is gay. Bailey and I miss Derek tonight so we've read his book like 20 times. I put Bailey in her bed at 8:30, so she's asleep as far as I can tell. I love that I can put her in bed awake and she'll put herself to sleep. It's awesome. I am watching Bones tonight and I don't know what else. Maybe I'll do some schoolwork since I've been slacking lately. I just haven't felt like reading any sections from this book. Oh well, gotta get it done. Hopefully tomorrow might be a little more productive. I can't wait for Sunday. My elliptical is getting delivered to me on Sunday. Lame day.

I threw Bowtie in the snow.

9 February 2011 - "I hate the Dentist."

Today was a long, exhausting day for me. I woke up at 8AM and proceeded to get ready for my dentist appointment. About two minutes into me getting Bailey's diaper bag together...She woke up. I was hoping I'd have more time to get her stuff ready. So, I fed her and put her in her Bumbo chair and finished getting dressed. I brushed my teeth and put my hair up and got the rest of what Bailey would need in her diaper bag. Around 10 o'clock I started the car, loaded all of her stuff and my purse in there, then put her in there and started off toward Gate 10. I got all the way there..... Then I had a weird feeling. So I checked my purse and I didn't have my wallet. At this point it was already 10:20 and it takes 20 minutes to get to Cathey's and my appointment was at 10:50. You do the math. So, I turned around and was trying not to speed since it's kinda snowy and people don't know how to drive in snow. I got to my house, ran in, and got back to Gate 10. I called the dentist just to let them know I might be late, and she said that's okay. I was kind of hoping they'd want to reschedule me. I was on LaFayette Road (at this point the roads were clear) so I was following kinda close to a small vehicle.... And this truck next to me was racing? Apparently.... There was about a foot in between me and the vehicle in front of me and the guy seriously cut me off. He was Airborne, according to his license plate and all the airborne stickers on his car, so he probably thought he was tough shit. I ended up going around him, honking my horn and flipping him off. Asshole. I got to Cathey's, dropped her off and went to the Dentist. I had no idea where they were, and Lee didn't save the address, but I kind of thought I knew where they were. Which I did. They were across from Patriots Park. I almost missed the driveway through, because some guy was driving up my ass. I went in, did my paperwork then they called me back right away. She did my x-rays and then I sat in the chair for more x-rays. I was honestly so nervous everytime she'd put a piece that she needed for the x-rays in my mouth, I'd gag. I was apologizing and I was pretty embarrassed but I couldn't help it. She took the measurements of my mouth, and then she got the "doctor." He came in and asked me if I was nervous. Haha. I must have been acting weird or something but I was extremely nervous. He told me all the work that I needed to get done and I'm not too thrilled. I hate going to the dentist...  Our wallet won't be thrilled either. Our insurance is actually paying for a lot, but we've got co-payments. Joy. Well, anyways. I was trying to get back onto Fort Campbell Blvd but I noticed the other side was already stopped, because the snow was coming down so hard. So, I decided to go back on post and go back off post. I figured it would be quicker. (Which it was. Fort Campbell Blvd was LITERALLY completely stopped.) So I went into Gate 3 and back out Gate 10. It wasn't too bad. I started fishtailing when I was going out of Gate 10, which was pretty scary because of the walls going out of the gate. I got to Cathey's and sat there for a little while. Bailey looked exhausted, so we left. I'm glad my appointment was, when it was. Because the snow was coming down HARD. I finally got to housing and noticed someone built a snowman by the street. I couldn't tell for sure, but it looked like he had a boonie on or a straw hat. I thought it was funny. I wish I could build a snowman with Derek. Bailey and I came home and she was asleep. I relaxed for a little while before I moved her into her crib. I got an hour nap before she woke up and I was still pretty tired, so I put her in her bouncer and took another little nap. Since then we've been watching cartoons and hanging out. In about half an hour it's time for her bath, bottle and bed. Same as every night. I doubt I'm going to go sleep early tonight since I got a two hour nap. Just a random statement, it's really hard to type a blog while you're singing the ABCs... I am singing them for Bailey right now. 

Daddy definitely loves her.

The snowman. You can barely see his hat.

8 February 2011 - "We miss you."

Sorry, Babe. I had to put this picture on here. This was taken one year ago today. We miss you.

Well, today was slightly productive and I was feeling a lot better. I was only had one meltdown today. I woke up and put the dog outside only to find the snow is still here and there is supposed to be more snow tomorrow. I'm not excited about that, at all. Tomorrow, I have a Dentist appointment so Bailey's going to visit with Aunt Cathey while I deal with that. Around 4 o'clock I decided I was going to go to the PX, because Bailey officially needs size 2 diapers. So, I put the Dish Network box outside because I've been waiting around for them all day and I didn't want to miss them. I got there and it was crazy. I walked toward the baby section, saw how crazy it was, and there were lots of stupid people and I went to electronics. I saw my future MacBook and I was kind of excited. I got to play around with it a bit so now I can't wait for our tax refunds to be put into our bank. Then I walked out of the PX because I was starting to get mad at all the rude people there. I went to the bank and deposited a check that we got from Mediacom the other day. Then I went off-post to WalMart. It was crazy there, too. I got diapers, wipes, a battery charger and a baby's 1st Valentines Day card.. and spent $80. Bailey is an expensiveee baby. She's do worth it, though. I love Bailey. After that, I headed back to the house and went through the gate and was super irritated with the old guy there. He was entirely too happy for my liking. I got home and checked outside and either UPS came and took the boxes or someone stole it. Haha. Hopefully it's the first option. Now the rest of my night consists of bathing Bailey, feeding her dinner, and putting her in bed. Then I'm going to talk to my love until Midnight. Hopefully I can go to sleep at Midnight. I need to get sleeping pills or something. I'm tired of being a Zombie. Well, that was my day. We're still missing Daddy and loving him with our whole heart.

The snow this morning.

Bailey all ready to go out on the town.

7 February 2011 - "Our love is stronger than any deployment."

We found out that Daddy won't be coming home until August. I took it a little harder than anyone else did in the house, of course. I'm glad that Bailey has no idea what is going on but it still doesn't take away any of the pain knowing that he's going to miss these next six months and all the milestones that come with her getting older. I guess it's time to charge the video camera, camera and get ready to record our everyday activities. I'm just really praying six months goes by as fast as it possibly can. I don't know when I'm going to get over this whole "being upset thing" but we were in the mindset of August being our countdown before... We can do it again. Our love is stronger than any deployment. I'm going to really push myself to be faithful about posting on Blogger every day and posting some pictures to my FaceBook for the next six months. So here it goes.


7 February 2011
Today was really hard for me. I honestly slept most of the day. I got up to feed the baby and change her and then slept the rest of the time. Which, I know, is totally unfair for her. But I'm making sure tomorrow and everyday after that is better for her. At 8 o'clock PM, she got her bath, her bottle and we listened to the book that Daddy recorded for her when he was on R&R in October. I'm going to have to get another one of those and ship it to him so he can record it and ship it back to us. I want her to have a little variety of books to listen to. Hopefully we can start Skyping so he can see her and she can see him, too. We'll see though. I know things will get easier when I get back into the mindset I was in three months ago. We're already counting down the days until Daddy comes home in August. We're 50% of the way there.
