Im always so sleepy

I have been doing really well, keeping myself busy and finding things to do on a daily basis, but today I was TIRED! I did not want to wake up when Rea did, but I dragged my booty out of bed and lay on the couch. Zach got to call this morning, it was amazing to hear his voice, we got to talk for a little over twenty minutes, which is a record for us! Usually he calls and we talk just long enough to say that we love each other and that we miss each other. The second that Rea started showing signs of sleepyness, I rushed into the bedroom and put her to bed! Not soon after, I crashed, and crashed hard. I didn't think we would sleep very long, but when my eyes finally decided to open, it had been two hours! Rea was still asleep, I was amazed. After some wiggling, Rea woke up. She is always super happy when she wakes up! I love it, she makes me see the world in a whole different way. I decided that I couldn't spend my entire day layiing around, so I went to my house and turned on cartoons for Rea. I needed to pack my Tupperware stuff in a single box so that I could take it all the way to Kotzebue and sell stuff! Of course Rea was more interested in "helping" me than watching cartoons. I was getting so frustrated with her, because I really wanted to fit everything in the one box. Everytime I put something in there she would pull it out and smile really big. It was funny, but a lot more frustrating. After fighting with her for a while, I finally got everything in the box and I closed it. I also packed a lot of other things as well. Today ended up being a lot more productive than I thought it would be. Rea and I made a trip to Wal-Mart to find some dinner, and I also got stuff to make bruschetta for the Deployed Spouse Support Group. After a late dinner, and a late skype with Zach's family, I put Rea to bed. Now I am watching Rivals and enjoying my mommy time. I am thinking about making a sun drop commercial when I go home! Wouldn't it be fun?

Dear Deployment,
Today started out in a funk, but ended productive (= I got a nice long phone call from my husband and even though technically it's our anniversary to him, i'll wait until tomorrow to talk about our love, and be sappy, and sad. I hate you for making us spend our first anniversary apart, couldn't you just wait a couple of weeks! Geez, no respect! Love, Elsa..
