Happy Mothers Day

DAY 8 AND 9
I have been busy today working on photos and messing around with my blog layout today so I missed updating day 8 by five minutes. Better late than not at all is my motto anymore!!

Finally found the makings of a layout that I can live with on my blog. Yea, I am never happy with anything most times, but I am now!! For Mothers Day I changed a friends layout as a surprise, I really hope she likes it.. I think she may have forgot that I have her sign in and password and she may hurry to change it lol.

So today is Mothers Day now that it is 12:15am.. Went and had dinner with Chrissy and Casey. That was nice, as I have never been out with them unless the rest of the family was there. I like spending time with my kids by themselves some times. I hope now that they see mom can behave they will take me out more in the future ;0) I am sure they would if I asked, but they are young and in love so I will just let them have their time. I really love them both more than they will ever comprehend.

I have been getting a lot of hugs and I love you's from Bradley today. I know Mothers Day is tomorrow/today but I cannot help but think there is something else going on in his little head. I am sure I can figure it out pretty simply, but I am not going to bring it up to him. Some times it's hard not to ask him specific questions when I know something is bothering him and my moms intuition tells me immediately what it is. I do not want to put words in his mouth and him just come out and say "yea mom, thats whats wrong". So I will be patient and let him come out and tell me whats going on and take all the hugs and kisses I can get.

Only thing missing is Jerod. I am hoping in some small way I get some kind of contact out of him today. I know hes busy and has a tough job ahead of him. My selfish side just wants to hear his voice. It is Mothers Day after all. It is also the first one that I have not seen him. Well, I didn't see him live and in person last year, but I had him on Skype. I am not so sure I will get that pleasure this year. Deployments SUCK, but my freedom and security doesn't and thats because there are a ton of Military personnel out there making sure that it doesn't. So for Mothers Day I am just going to be thankful that all these men and women are out there doing what they do for all of us moms. BUT... if someone feels a little froggy, can you send that boy a note by carrier pigeon to make him call home!!!

These are the hard parts of deployment.
