I'm sorry. I've been such a bad blogger. I've actually been trying to update every single BLOG I have...and its really annoying. But anyways....yes...16 days.
I've been currently at war with the fleas: spraying, vacuuming, bombing, borexing....not a word, i know. It's been really a hassle. I have been regretting my decision to get this kitten...I love her, but its just been a whole lot of work that I don't have time for, and my body can't handle. I have been off my RA meds for a week...the shots were out of stock...not good. Which reminds me, I have to go take some pain meds so I can start functioning without pain today.....
Ok, done. Moving on. Joel has had a bit of confusion, well, the Army was the one confused....They had paperwork for his Active Duty First program, but not for his actual, legal, binding National Guard contract. Long Story. But eventually he got in touch with the right people and everything is fine. We Hope. Just pray for him. He is really stressed, wants to make sure his flight is for coming home to CT, and that all his logistics are correct. He has this overwhelming fear that he will never make it home. I know....it's irrational, but its fear. And its making him anxious and worried. So please just pray that everything works out and I get to be hugged in 2 weeks by the love of my life

OH! And I stopped the caffeine. Not fun either. I have stopped buying soda for the house...Carol is keeping me accountable. I haven't had caffeine in a few days. So I am pretty much exhuasted and headachy...and the RA makes me tired too, so without drinking soda its been really, really rough.
Man, this was such a whiney post!! Sorry! But I am super excited Joel is coming home

My heart starts racing and I feel like I can't breath everytime I think about it for more than 2 seconds. I just can't wait. And he has his next job as manager at Morning Star lined up, everything ready to go. Things are beginning to come together.
Our home: it's getting organized slowly but surely. It's been hectic while we've been dealing with the fleas, but this week is my week to get things under control again. And I am SO incredibly BLESSED to have Joel's mom living here....with out her, I don't know what I would have done these past 6 mths, or what my house would look like as a result of it. She has supplemented all the areas that have been hurting in my home because of the RA. She's been helping with the cleaning, helping with the kids. It's been the greatest thing for me, especially since Joel has been gone. I am finally feeling like I can live a semi-normal life again.
Ok, this has been a long one. I am going to try to update more. Oh, Photos are from Ellie's first birthday on Thur!

Hey, nice to see an update. I will be keeping you and the fam in my prayers. Which Morning Star? We'll have to visit when Joel is back. God Bless!
