This morning, Rea woke up at 07:00 just to poop. So I put her on the toilet and she pooped, and I was super tired. I had to put her back to bed. We slept for another hour. I had a really hard time waking up though. Rea was pretty dramatic this morning, and when I finally put her down for a nap, she woke up like ten minutes later! It also happened to be when I was getting in the shower. I decided to let her shower as well, so I put her in the tub, with the water running and I turn around. For a quarter of a second it felt like, and when I turned back, there was a HUGE cockroach swimming around in the tub with her! I don't mind killing bugs, but I was told that cockroaches are very hard to kill. So in a a panic, I took Rea out of the tub. Both of us were completley nude, and I didn't know what to do. I wrapped Rea and myself in a towel, and went into the kitchen. I got a rubbermaid bin, the kind people store food in, and scooped it out of the tub, closed the cover and threw it away. After cleaning the tub out, we showered and as soon as I got dressed, I took the trash out. In that moment, I wished Zach was here. I wished that I didn't have to deal with nasty little bugs, and I realized that I can't live here without him. I feel like I constantly worry about bugs biting Rea and I don't like that.
After the whole cockroach thing, I headed over to Chrissy's house, becuase I had an appointment to get my hair trimmed. I love it when I get hair cuts, even just a trim. I went to a local lady, who cuts hair out of her house, she only charges $10! I love how she did it! After my haircut, I came home and picked up a box of cake that I had in the pantry, so Chrissy and I could eat it. While I was home, teh FedEx guy came and Brittany's Tupperware came in! When I told her about it, she invited us to a BBQ. We decided not to be super fattys, so we took the cake with us to share. It was really nice to hang out with adults and have our kids just play in the back yard! They got to run through the sprinkler, and it was Rea's first time. She loved it, she loves anything that has to do with the water. Sometimes I think she is part fish, and part dog, and part boy. Or she is just 100% her dad's child. Rea also discovered bacon, she loves it! She hasn't been eating as well as I would like her to, but she is getting better. I wish Zach was home to enjoy tonight. We sat outside, and Zach would have loved that. Not to mention, he would have gotten along great with the other guys that were there. On nights like this I really miss him when I go home. I know that he is okay though, and I don't worry about him. Now that we are home, Rea is fast asleep and I am watching Pretty Little Liars, then Teen Mom. If I can stay up that late!
Dear Deployment,
Today I almost died because of a cockroach, but after I gained my composure I was fine. I delt with it without freaking out, and I am proud of myself. It felt good to hang out with other adults, but because of you, my husband can't enjoy this kind of thing. I miss him on nights like this, but it didn't ruin the fact that I was having a good time. Today was good, tomorrow will be too. Love, Elsa...
