This morning was wonderful. I got up and after a little bit of snuggling and giggles from my ReaSunshine. I then turned on cartoons and took the trash out, started the sprinkler (my poor lawn was getting brown!) and I started laundry! Pretty eventful morning if you ask me! I gave Rea breakfast, and since I had been eating oatmeal for the last few days and really that was all we had to eat for breakfast, I waited to eat. I NEEDED to grocery shop! Thank goodness for PayDay! Even though I was dreading the trip to Wal-Mart, because EVERYONE goes to Wal-Mart on pay day, I was excited to get something besides oatmeal and top ramen! Rea eats so much better than me. I guess I should pay more attention to my meals too. After some debating with myself about getting things like cake mix and pudding mix, I decided not to. Instead I got some beef, and some chicken. Macarooni and cheese of course, that's my FAVORITE food EVER, and a few other things that we needed. After the store, I put selling my stuff into full gear. I posted all over Fort Hood Yard Sales (on facebook) and Craigslist. So far, I sold Rea's little bookshelf, and my area rug. Someone is coming tomorrow to pick up my washer and dryer, and someone is waiting for a response from their hubby about buying my couch. I know that I don't leave for like 2 weeks, but it was payday, which means everyone has money right now (= Sometime this afternoon though, I got bored, and when I got bored, I also got hungry. So Rea and I found ourselves back at Wal-Mart, buying the stuff I had told myself I didn't need earlier. I figured though, if I don't eat it all at once it's okay right? My husband just deployed, at least I'm not on a drinking binge... Rea didn't really nap during the day, so at around five, she was SO ready to sleep. Thank goodness she did too, I managed to get another load of dishes done (mostly new tupperware!) and clean a little. I also started packing a box of Zach's things, it was pretty sad, smelling his cologne and having to put all of his clean things in boxes and all of his dirty things in the wash. After I showered earlier I put on one of his t-shirts and that makes me feel closer to him. I had planned on baking cookies tonight, but Rea took FOREVER to fall asleep. She kept climbing all over me, and trying to nurse in the most uncomfortable positions. She is so cooky sometimes. I love when she is like that though, reminds me so much of her dad. He does the same thing. When we first got here, he would play and play and play with her, even when it was bedtime and we would stay up a couple of hours later than we had planned. It drove me crazy at the time, but now I can't wait for him to play with her like that again.
Did I ever mention, that I have the BEST family, EVER?? Because if I didn't, I do. My sisters are the most amazing people ever. And don't even get me started on my best friend. Besides Zach and Rea, they are the most important people in my life. I told my sister that we had bills to pay, and I was worried about having enough money to drive all the way back to Alaska. So, she rounded up my other sister and Ariana, and they had a chili feed at our local post office. They organized it in just a couple of hours, and I am sure that it was amazing, because anything that my sisters cook is awesome. They also plan on having a bake sale next weekend I believe. See, my sisters and Ariana are the BEST. I also have to give props to my hometown. They always come together in a time of need. I know I complain about it a lot, but a lot of good people live there and I wouldn't change the way I grew up for anything. I am so excited to be back for a while. Even though I decided on living in Anchorage, Kotzebue will always be home. I better hit the sack before I find myself
