So this week flew by!
Bailee is in love with Mickey Mouse Playhouse! She calls it Mousy Mouse. I have been starting to look at the toy sections for Christmas, to see what to get her. At KMart they have a good selection of MMP items, so I decided it is going to be a Mousy Mouse Christmas! I checked the internet and Bailee came in and saw what I was looking at and started screaming and bull-dozed her way on my lap to see the toys. She got so excited to say the least. So a trip to Toys-R-Us is in my near future!
Last night, Jim and I went to the Salem football game. This is the first Salem game I have ever been to, it was okay, just like any other Friday night game. I can tell he misses coaching!
Today, I am going with some friends to the local Winery's. I am looking forward into going, but I have started a diet last week and I have done so well that I am hoping that I have some will power not to over-indulge. I have slacked big time on my exercising, but I am hoping to get back at it soon! I did stop drinking soda. I have not had a diet coke for over a week, I still miss the fizzy sensation though. So my drink of choice is unsweeten tea.
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend and a great week ahead!

Being an officers wife
Being a police officers wife or really a wife to any emergency personal is hard and frustrating, but I have excepted this way of life. But there is one thing I can't take anymore!
THE RADIO!
We have to sleep with it on! Most of the time I sleep right through it, no problems! But sometimes I wake up a bazillion times, especially during storms and the someone is on that radio non-stop. And of course, being the noisy person I am I have to listen and find out who got pulled over, who was in an accident or what alarm is going off. And then when no one is talking for 10 minutes I finally start drifting off and bam someone is back on! And they don't speak normal, they speak in numeric code half of the time. And yes after 12 years I finally learn some of the codes, but come on just say yes or no! Do you really need numbers for that? (Those are the ones I get confused on) Then you never find out what happen in the end. I mean did the officer write them a ticket, was there someone hurt in the accident, or did they catch the person sitting off the alarms? Really it is like reading a great mystery novel and the last 2 chapters are missing!
And then when you are trying to have a conversation with him while on duty, you never get there full attention. Which can work in my favor! But most of the time it is frustrating and no he won't turn it down while I am talking to him.
So as you can probably tell I didn't get enough sleep last night and I had to write out my frustration this morning.

I didn't realize how long it had been since I last posted? Anyways, it has been pretty uneventful here in Andersonville.
I am excited for some friends of ours. They had a rough couple of months but things are looking up for them. It amazes me how things work out. I am also excited that some of our other friends are going to be in town next month. We haven't seen each other in over a year! I love it when we get together.
My exercising has been on the back burner. I have not been running in over a week. I just can't get myself out of bed. I hope to find my enthusiasm for running again very soon. I know a lot of it has to do with it being so hot. So come on cooler weather! I wanted to go back to WW in July, well it doesn't look like I will be back until the end of Sept. I am just having a hard time justifying the money for a weigh in right now. I really wish there was a gym in town. I would love to join the Centre, but I am not 100% confident that I will go enough every week to get my money out of it. I keep looking for some inspiration, so if anyone has any let me know!
Bailee is doing great! She is talking more and more. She loves Mickey Mouse Playhouse. We have to watch at least two episodes a day if not more. The babysitter is starting to work with the 3-4 year olds on letters, numbers, and shapes. And she has Bailee sit with them and draw and listen. She brought home her paperwork from the week and it made me a little sad, my baby isn't a baby. She loves being called a 'big girl'. I wish we could have another child? But if it doesn't happen we are blessed to have Bailee.
Well that is all I got! I hope that everyone has a great weekend!

Update 8-8
All I have to say WOW what a week.
I had a rollercoaster of emotions this week. I had such an emotional day Tuesday, I just started talking to someone and started crying my eyes out. Then Wednesday I was fine, nothing bothered me. Then Thursday, was the bus accident. And I cried all day. And today I have been crying off and on all day for various reasons. Poor Jim, he is really tired of the unstable wife thing.
On Saturday, I started cooking breakfast eggs and bacon. And I had had enough! Of my frying pan. Lets just say if you want 2 eggs I have to make 3 because some much sticks to my non-stick pan you end up with 1.5 eggs. So I did research on frying pans and decided that I have to get one today.
So I went to Washington. When I was driving there I started to think of the Band members going down the road and having a great time on the buses, not having a care in the world. I thought about my own experiences with bus trips. I started getting nervous and scared and I started to cry. Those trips for the kids will never be the same.
After 2 hours of deciding which pan I wanted and how much I was willing to pay I finally got one and I love it!
I am sorry that this post is a little all over the place but that is how I am feeling at the moment.
