Stop..... Go.....Smile......Cry

Hello... and welcome back! We are now on Day 18! We are exactly 12 days until were are one month down! Joe hates the countdown, it just isnt the same for him. For me I love it! I always look at what we have accomplished rather than how much time is left.... it goes much faster that way. Here is what tasks I have been able to mark off my to-do list:

First I have managed to clean out my entire dresser and reorganize it! Even my junk drawer! I purchased drawer organizers at Walmart and now my OCD  can rest easy.

Second, I hosted Paranormal Activity Night for the girls at work! It was fun for everyone to get together outside of work. But Paranormal Activity was not the star of the night. Mr Claw became Mr popular with everyone! Everyone wanted to take him home

Third, I started putting together Joes first care package. This one is a bit random: shoes, sunflower seeds, a magazine, toothpaste, toothbrush, crystal light, airborne, and gum. The next one I think will be themed..... any suggestions?

The "children" have been crazy, scratching everything and having WWF matches on their "playmat" AKA the rug everynight......I invested in a water bottle to squirt at them when they are bad.... but they have turned it into a game... lol

Now for the not so happy part of the past 2 weeks:

I did have a car accident. I am still waiting to hear if the car is totaled or if it is repairable. Im crossing my fingers for repairable! Luckily no one was hurt (except for the cars... and an innocent fire hydrant)

This week I plan to start back excercising in the mornings. I found a routine to try on Pinterest. Pinterest has been a huge pick me up this past week. Its been really stressful with work and some extra responsibilities there, not having Joe here, and then the car wreck. Ive been on Pinterest Humor section ALOT to cheer me up. I also realized I needed to start working out more so I have also been scouring the Health and Fitness section. I am planning to go to the gym as a visitor with my friend Molly and possibly joing the Y. They have a class Im really curious about. Its called TRX and you use resistance bands to use your own body to get tone. Since the remainder of this deployment is to get "baby ready" I should start getting in shape because he will be home before I know it!

Here are some things coming up for me:

-Clean out the closet
-Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries Premiers!
-Working out every morning
-Birthday Dinner for a friend at work
-Send Joes Box
-Plan another night with the girls
-Re organize the bookshelves with the new picture frames
-The new House of Night Book!
-Start Christmas planning
-Start decorating the living room and dining room

I plan to have this all completed by November 1..... so....Ready....Set..... Go!
