Poop in Peace

Flowers and card from hubby

So the sickness has continued. Stuffiness came back to both Paisley and Chris and then Thursday morning I woke up with it all. Had to find someone to work my shift that night. Even though it was our 4th Anniversary I was in no condition to go anywhere. Since I didn't get Chris anything for the occasion I decided to clean the entire house. So his present was a clean house and he came home with flowers, a beautiful card, dinner and dessert so I didn't have to cook. It was the 1st Anniversary we've gotten to spend with each other besides our 1st and even though we didn't get to do anything we got to spend it together which really meant a lot. Started to feel better the following day, lost my voice but felt good enough to go to work that night.

Sunday we had to wake up early, which is 7 in our world, to bring Chris to his ride to the airport. He was off to Charleston for some training for the week. I figured ah well it'll be tough since I'm sick but it's not a 6 month deployment. Wrong!

She found Daddy's shoes

I've been quite anxious lately about someone breaking into the house, even though we're in the middle of nowhere I've been making sure all the window's and doors are locked at night and keeping lights on in the living room and stairway to the front door. Now that Chris has been gone I've been extremely paranoid and having a hard time sleeping wondering if every little noise is something bad when it's just Bear breathing. I was up until 3am running to the windows this morning checking to see if there was anyone out there. I'm going crazy. I was also dealing with what I hoped to be the end of my sickness hacking the rest of it up as well.

Coloring

measuring fabric

Today we didn't wake up until 10:30. I'm surprised she slept that long but I have been having a hard time getting her to sleep since Chris left. He's become master of bed time since I've been working nights. So she's sure missing the way Daddy does bedtime. She woke up screaming around 1 so I'm sure that lead to the sleeping in. Today's just been one of those days. The dogs drove me nuts, Paisley has not stopped trying to get onto the table since I brought out my sewing machine. We made a trip to Joann Fabrics last night which always burns a nice whole in the pocket to pick up fabric for matching aprons I'm going to make us. She was helping me measure the fabric last night and since then it's been non stop climb the chair and get on the table. I had to go downstairs to let the dogs out to go to the bathroom and run upstairs because I heard her run to get on the table, got her down, ran back downstairs to check on the dogs and back upstairs to get her off the table. After doing that four times I think I got my workout for the day. Thought I had bedtime in the bag tonight when I went to bring cookies to my coworkers and stop at walgreens for some tylenol and snacks. She fell asleep on our way out and as soon as I get to the register at walgreens and get ready to head home she pops her head of my should and says hi to the cashier. Oof I was thankful she fell asleep on our way home from there and at 7 put her in bed and laid down with her hoping that would be it. After a little while of her not moving I checked to see that her eyes were closed and slowly got up and she turned to me quickly and said hi. Really? What is with the fake sleeping? She's did that too me the other day. Decided she was going to fake sleep when I went to get her out of the car. Looked right at me then closed her eyes real tight and put her head to the side then looked at me again (and not the i'm tired and am going to fall back asleep look) It's hysterical but was quite annoying tonight.

Hearing that Chris is out at the bar and enjoying Thai food and has reservations to go to a steak house really makes me hate him. Not hate him but hate the fact that he gets to do that while I'm stuck in this crazy house. We haven't had a couple hours just to ourselves since we visited Maryland and his mom watched Paisley for 4 hours. Even though work is getting me out of the house I'd like to get out of the house with just my husband. It's been too long. I'm also waiting for the day where I can poop in peace. Trying to go with her sitting on your lap wanting you to read her a book is quite a treat.

Not sure if we'll be leaving the house tomorrow but I'll definitely be taking Paisley to skyzone (a trampoline fun zone) on Friday. She loves it there and lately she's been trying to jump off the ground so I know she's going to have even more of a blast. Hoping Chris can go into work late so he can actually join us there for the first time. Now back to my little me time that I have at almost 1am and finish my root beer and m&m's.
