i find it interesting that i am getting friend requests when i haven't been on here in like 3 months......
anyways, for those who have been keeping up, my husband is STILL gone. yep. it's been 13 long freaking months so far. he should be home round halloween, but we'll see. they like to play with my emotions about those return dates.
i've been going to the gym a lot lately. 4 or 5 days a week. i'm honestly not sure why i go. something to do. a break from the kids.
oh the kids....the kids are fantastic. canon is actually TALKING now. full on sentences and everything. it's so great to be able to understand what he is saying and the things he says are so cute. anytime we see a humvee or an LMTV he says "that's daddy's truck!" *dies* so cute. ephraim has a BIG personality for such a little person. i see so much of myself in him. he feels everything very passionately. (ie, he's moody like his momma. lol.) i love the way his little face lights up when he sees me and he runs and throws himself against me and wraps his arms around my legs and squeezes so tight. he has a bit of a temper. i've already had to get on to him several times that pushing canon and/or slapping canon is not okay. "hands are not for hitting" is a pretty common phrase at our house now. he's a little spit fire that one.
i'm still very much into babywearing though now that ephy is older and all about the walking he doesn't let me wear him around the house much these days. i do still wear him quite a bit when we go out, though i fear those days might be coming to an end as well. i can't wait to have another.

new hair color. it doesn't really show how vivid it is though...
i was totally in super mom mode today. we hit three different play grounds today. now i am tired and sweaty and desperately need a shower, but i think i'll just wait till the morning.
today also marks 4 years since my husband and i decided to be exclusive, though he has been gone for about half of that time. stupid army. yay for us!

after two years my hair has gone back to red. pictures to come.
i miss the old days...well, just certain parts. i don't know. i'm in a funk. i feel so over everything.
i desperately need a nite out and a good cocktail or three.
you lookin' for a good time, honey?

hello SGland. i thought i'd come out of hiding since people keep trying to friend me even though i haven't updated here in 3.5 mos.
so what has happened? while in OKC i got in a wreck the week before christmas and that caused a great big pain in the neck and extened my trip by about a month cause of having a crap insurance company and having to get my car fixed.
i turned 23....canon turned 2....ephraim turned 1....the hubby's tour in iraq got extended indefinately and he was just home for 2 weeks on R & R.
i'm good, the kids are good, the husband is good.
um....we decided to see our Rambler. i love 'er, but she just needs more time and money than we have at our disposal and we could use the extra money cause we are saving up for a downpayment on a honda odyssey (yep, i'm crossing over to the land of the minivans) and to pay for a homebirth. no, i am not pregnant yet, but i know i'm going to have at LEAST one more child and i refuse to give birth in the hospital again where they think that pregnant women are like faulty machines at constant risk of breaking down and therefore are put on a conveyor belt to be poked and prodded at by an almighty human mechanic who is either dismissing your concerns, patronizing you, or subjecting you to emotional black-mail just because you think a different way than they do. sigh....i've been reading way too much sheila kitzinger lately.
and yeah. that's pretty much it. i'm going shopping in raleigh tomorrow in hopes that i can find clothing that actually fits me. the next time i hear that BS avalanche: "oh you can wear anything cause you're so tiny!" i'm gonna be stabbing someone. no, actually i spent 6 hours on monday with the goal of finding a dress to wear to church on sunday and came home empty handed because everything is too big, and/or too long. pfft.

yeah, i've been totally slacking on SG. and guess what- no time to rectify that now. (does anyone else always think 'rectum' when they say rectify or am i just completely insane?) anyway- i'm leaving tomorrow morning (children in tow of course) and making the two day drive to oklahoma city to stay through christmas and i just can NOT be on SG at my mom's house. she's pretty freaking victorian. i'm bringing my cell if anyone in the OKC area wants to hangout. (*cough* kristin *cough* are you coming back to OK for the holidays?)
....
i just saw the biggest cockroach i have ever seen in my entire LIFE IN MY BATHROOM last night. that + super duper bug phobia = me running away and crying like a pansy and then deciding to vacuum my bedroom at 12 o'clock in the morning. i 'slept' with the lights on. i use the term sleep to mean tossed and turned and woke up every hour on the hour. THESE ARE THE TIMES I NEED MY HUSBAND!!! someone come over and kill this thing so i can go back in my bathroom. seriously. it. is. huge. this morning i cautiously grabbed my toothbrush and razor and my (new) contacts off the counter and showere in the boys' bathroom at the other end of the house. i'm going to call my neighborhood office to have someone come out and spray. i cannot live being afraid to go in my own bathroom! and i can NOT have those little shits in my house around these two handsome guys either:
hell yeah. it's alllllllllllll about robot pajamas.
the man and i's anniversary is in two weeks. i need to get my booty to the post office to send out his anniversary prezzie. i got him a wedding band since he has no ring. gotta tell the other ladies and the gay guys to back off cause he's MINE. his birthday is in january and i decided to shoot a pin-up calendar for him. i want it to be very cheese-cake and cutesy cause that's just who i am. i can't decide if i want to try the hassle of self-shooting or if i want to find a photographer...i'm leaning towards photographer...i still need to get some props together....
