Back Up
There's a funky sick hanging out at my house so I've been less than productive...much less than productive. Turns out this morning was a good time to catch up on shows that I've missed and I may have watched a movieortwo yesterday as well. So today out of nowhere my computer shuts itself down & there was a blue screen with lots of technical words I don't understand. You really don't have to know much about computers to operate one. I restarted it - the only thing I did understand on the screen and all was well again. But this reminded me that I should back up my photos. I was over a year behind...now I've run out of CDs so I'm only five months behind. You can bet your hiney that CDs will be on my next shopping list so I can finish the job.
When there is sick, esp funky sick hanging out at your house it's good to have some back up and you take what you can get with no complaints. My son picked up a catchphrase that he likes to say {but rarely follows} "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit". Such wisdom in the kindergarten classroom. Shawn went to the store and got the things on my shopping list {after I cut it down to 1/10 it's original}, let me fall asleep & took care of the kids {but then woke me up with a kiss & I couldn't fall asleep for 2 hours}...you catch the drift. I'm just glad that he's home to help with anything...esp when my throat is burning, my head is all hurty & I'm just blah.
My internal clock is ticking away...no not that clock, well yes that one too on some days when I see little 10 day old babies that are SOsweet&omgmyovariesjustdidalittledance; but the clock I'm trying to ignore. The one that says we're now on the approximate sixish months give or take because the Army can change plans at any moment until my husband is no longer available to be my back up. Because he'll be backing up his battle buddies and focusing on things like safety, sleep & eating. That sixish months is going to fly. Between individual training schools, group training, field training, long nights, block leave {x2}, holidays, special events....whoosh! it's gone.
I've been here before so it's not that new. Except that it is. Last time we had just moved here & I barely knew a sole. Now we've been here almost 3 years and some days I think I know too many people. Last time I had a 3 year old & 11 month old...they were nearly clueless, the oldest knew nothing beyond "daddy's far away at work". Now I'll have 5 & 3 year olds who will notice & ask no less than 2,345 times a day why daddy has to go to regular work {let alone far away work}. There are lessons I learned about things like money & time management...and I'm hoping to remember them before repeating the same mistakes.
Maybe it's just the sick but I think that all ties together somehow...or maybe not. And now I'm not really sure how to close it up either. So this will do.
