What would do if you were me??

Hi Holly, Yea, the military wife thing sucks sometimes. This is our first deployment with kids and MAn is it sooo much harder than before. When it was just the 2 of us, I just went along living my life. Now with the boys, it's like I'm trying to keep some normalcy in a disfunctional life. My 4 yr old ask me every single day if daddy will be home tomorrow and I have no idea how to make it make sense that he won't for a very long time. The new baby is the hardest! Everyday is a new development and new adventure that he's missing out on. It breaks my heart to know that when he returns he'll have no idea who the man is who loves him so much. It has always been my goal to get to 150lbs while he's gone. It'll be like coming home to a shiny new car lol

Thanks!

ha ha ha, I cracked up when I read your post saying "it will be like coming back to a shiny new car"....haha

hey, i also call my son a chunky monkey.hehe  or use too anyway, don't want him to think i'm teasing him anymore. ;p  he use to love that song chunky monkey..kids are so funny.

you didn't state that it was a military hospital.  yea, deff don't do it.  :) 

My little one is only 10 weeks old so don't think he minds chunky monkey yet. I won't call him that when he's older. However my oldest (4) we still call him by his nickname. When he learned to sit up, he was a skinny kid with a huge gut. He looked like a buddha statue. So we call him buddha. Just don't do it in church, would be kinda weird.lol

Hi Cammy, Actually you just answered your own question and with a great explaination.  You definitely shouldn't do it.  I found when I'm put under extra pressure and people are watching then I fail.  I guess it's one of my mechanisms I have where I shut down. How about to stay on track, instead of having it in your weekly paper, you post here?  Maybe we could start a challenge again...worth a try. Melinda

Hi Melinda, I've already decided that I won't be doing it.  I thionk a weekly challenge would be great, we could all benefit from one.
