I've been wanting to blog and tell of the things that are going on, but I haven't been able to figure out how to put it down with out being a jumbled mess, but if so hopefully it will still be understood.
Coach has been off doing his thing, which as he tells me is really nothing, just hanging out, and I believe him...it is the army way :-).
I've been at home, of course, and although I miss my husband tons, I've been doing better than I thought I would. Still not eating, but when I get hungry enough I will finally figure out a meal for myself that is nutritious as well as yummy!!! Going for the quick and yummy right now.
I think the number one thing that keeps everything sane is Big T! The last couple of days I can't help but feel How incredibly lucky I am. I have the most amazing friend and companion I could ask for!
my favorite parts of the day are when I hear Big T awake in his room from his naps and I when I walk in there his eyes light up and the biggest grin covers his face!! It makes my heart melt instantly and that contagious smile of his is immediately painted on my face. We then just play and giggle while he is still in his crib and I doing some crazy wacko thing that you would only see a parent doing and not think to call a mental hospital. It really makes me realize that everything is fine, that my life is gooood!
I can't believe how fast Big T is growing, he has his bottom teeth and it loks like the top ones will be making their appearance soon. He is starting to take steps with out holding on to anything!! Eveytime he does I can't hold in my excitement and will clap, even if I am in the middle of a conversation. He is also talking with his mouth open instead of doing the ventriloquist act he has been doing for a while now, he is so stinkin' talented and cute! We are also back to the spitting out food phase, which now that he is older he has more force and the distant is so much greater!
I truly am in an amazing phase of my life. I love being a mom, and it is hard work and not always with cherries on top, but I will put my tally to all those before me and those around me who say it is totally worth it. It is totally worth it!!!!!! I'm by far not the greatest mom out there, my kid has fallen off high places, has eaten everything (grass, dirt, wood, bird poop, bugs, leaves, toilet paper, paper, dog food,
wet wipes..ect), he sometimes gets called and coaxed like a puppy, and I have hit his head on the door jam a couple of times. Astonishingly he is still alive and hasn't really been sick..yet. I used to be worried about being the right kind of mom, but I'm my kind of mom, a one of a kind. Of course there is tons of room for improving.
Big T and Coach have made my cup full, I can't wait until the cup upgrades, cuz I know it will eventually. (p. s. I also know that I helped fill my cup.)
I wanted to share my happy thoughts that I've had the past couple of days and my happy experiences, I hope they are enjoyed and bring happiness to someone!
(oh and Big T does have other clothes, he just seems to be in this outfit when the camera is rollin')

I am glad that things are going good. I hear you, kids are the greatest friends and companions and they light up the day. I would be so lost without my kids. I think that you are great mom, we are not all the same and that is good and we all do the best that we can and that is what matters. If you ever need to talk I am here but I am glad to hear that all is going well. Keep those happy thoughts they take you far in life.
