Random Report

What a wacky day it was!  After getting kids off to school I cleaned house and got ready for a meeting I had at 10:30. Then I was frustrated with slow uncooperative computers and wished for T to be around to help.  Only 3 more weeks (I know- it's been three weeks for what seems like a couple weeks now.  The date has been pushed back a bit.  No I don't want to talk about it...).

Posting that last video of Baby Girl took me all morning but I finally did it.  Not sure how, just persistence I guess.  Then I was running late for my meeting when T called (an hour or so later than usual).  I couldn't even talk to him because I missed my turn and almost caused an accident slowing down to find a place to get off the road and back on track.  Don't you just hate tailgaters?  My Dad was an awful tailgater.  I'm grateful nothing bad happened.  So I am almost at my meeting and I called because I was running about 5 minutes late at this point, they informed me that I was later than I thought.  About an hour and 5 minutes to be exact, and they were just finishing up.  Whoopsie!  So as I am driving home I am thinking what else do I need to get done now that I am out already.  I have been needing to get to a make up counter for some time now for foundation.  It's, you know- the foundation of any good make-up job, so I don't skimp on cheap brands when it comes to this.  I buy the department store variety.  It lasts and lasts too.  So it's/I'm worth it.  Then I look in the rear-view and Baby Girl is asleep!  At 10:30am?  Wacky!  She naps at 2:00 usually.  Okay- change that plan.  Lucky for me though because I came home just in time to get these at the door.

 

Aren't they fabulous?  The card reads 'see you very soon.'  I haven't had so many flowers in our entire marriage of 17 years.  Yet while we are apart I have gotten them once a month on the anniversary of the day he left.  What an awesome guy!  I really do love flowers.  Thank you sweetheart!  It gave me the push I needed today after the bad news that I need to hang tight for one extra week than planned. I am just hoping by some miracle that he won't have to miss the pinewood derby on the 31st.  Is it lame to pray fervently for such a thing?  Why not?

I feel rather connected to those flowers since I was talking to you on the phone when they were delivered. They look very nice!

They are gorgeous! I have to say, my husband isn't really a super romantic, spontaneous guy. I would love flowers, just because.

Kelly said...

As I said, neither is mine. This deployment has really made us appreciate each other so much more!

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

Kelly, your flowers are just lovely! That would make my day for sure!

I love your foundation remark! That is so true! The rest of your makeup just doesn't look good unless your foundation is fabulous!

Those flowers are fabulous! So, I know I'm not the best commenter but, I really enjoy reading your blog.
As soon as T gets home you will have to print your blog so you can have it as a journal/scrapbook. I'm still working on getting mine done.
I love your foundation comment! Made my day!
Enjoy those flowers!!! :)

Ahhh...Kelly you are a trooper. The flowers are beautiful and your positive outlook is just as beautiful. I am most impressed that you cleaned your house right after the kids left!! My kids just left and I am sitting down looking at blogs...hmmm. Guess I should follow your example and get going with my LIFE!! I am praying for the 31st...got to get that pinewood derby in! Argh...I HATE when exciting things are postponed!! Stay happy.

What a nice husband ... and just in the knick of time when you're having a rough morning. Hang in there!

So I'm sensing some pinewood derby anxiety as I read through your entries . . . just remember that the ugliest car always wins. I'm not sure how, but it does. Maybe there's some sort of analogy you can draw there.
