seperation anxiety

Yeah you are probably thinking Andrew, but no I'm talking about me. This is day two of Joel's two week DET (don't ask me what that stands for because I don't know, but it means hes training) and I already want him to come home :( It just sucks sleeping alone, it's hard to sleep without him and I just keep thinking this is only two weeks. He is deploying again in the fall and I am just dreading it. It's a good thing but I really like having him around! lol And I just don't even want to think about not having him here again. It feels like he just got home and they are already gearing up for the next one!
BOO BOO BOO
On a happier note, I got to spend all day with two of my best girlfriends :) We went for a run, then they treated me to lunch at Panera and a pedicure. I have some awesome friends out here. I really don't think I would make it without all the help and support I get from my friends. Thanks ladies, for being awesome!
On a sad "I'm a terrible mom" note Andrew fell off a bed today for the first time. I was at a friends house and wanted to put him down for a nap, so I just took him upstairs and laid him on her bed. He has never fallen off anything before and I figured he would be fine (stupid!) As I was shutting the door I thought to myself I really should lay him on the floor....nah he'll be fine (stupid!) About half an hour later we hear a thump! and sure enough my poor baby was laying on the floor. I felt like such a terrible mom. Her bed isn't very high, only about a foot off the floor. And he wasn't hurt just scared. I still felt like the worst mom in the world. And I know, I am rational; I know I am not the worst mom in the world, that he is fine and its happened to everyone at least once BUT I still feel so horrible. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. My sweet little trusting baby, and I let him down.  I picked him up,  he was crying, but  he looked up at my face and calmed. And it broke my heart. I love this little boy.


Tomorrow is a new day.

Brushfire fairytales and Bubblie toes

Awesomeness! Joel would so NOT appreciate this picture, but hes just so cute! And he doesn't look like he minds much! ;) I love this face! :) And I love my blue toes! I always get pink/red, sometimes an occasional coral but always in that family so this time I decided to do something different. After they were all done (and awesome!) they reminded me of one of my best friends when I was younger. She was crazy and sweet and so caring and loved crazy things like sparklie blue toes! :) We used to listen to Jack Johnson at the pool and stay up talking for hours about of course boys! I miss her, I moved summer before 10th grade and we stayed friends but gradually lost touch. I think about her sometimes, and hope she is happy and well. Those were good times, carefree and happy.  "Slow down everyone you're movin too fast, frames cant catch you when your movin like that"

A day with Drewby

I find I am forgetting to document what Andrew is up too, and that I am forgetting when he starting doing something new. So here I go documenting away; mom brain is a very real ailment! At your 15-month well baby you weighed 26.3 lbs and were 31.5 inches long. Your eyes are still blue, but getting more green/grey everyday. You have been waking up at about 5:30 despite me stretching bed time back an hour. I dont go get you till 630-7 though. We get up with the sun baby boy! So you might as well sleep! ;) Then we have a cuddle with some milk watching Mickey Mouse Club House. Your favorite part is the hot dog song.  You are starting to get picky about what you eat. You used to eat whatever I gave you, now there are things you wont eat at all. Silly babe :) Your favorite foods are cheese, milk, goldfish, turkey dogs, chicken nuggets, mandarin oranges, grapes,   animal crackers, jammy sammys, and fruit snacks. You refuse to eat pasta, sauce or no sauce you won...

Really, its only been 1 week??

1 week down, 7 more to go...and then I get a few days and then he's gone again, this time for a full deployment. BUMMER. On a happy note, Andrew randomly takes steps. Not walking, but at least he's trying now! Silly boy, he is 14 mo old and doesn't walk yet! I guess I shouldn't be surprised he's always been a late mover. He does however have a hilarious speed crawl, I really need to get it on video before he stops doing it. Sometimes I can't believe how big he is, he is looking more and more like a little boy not a baby, and its a little sad. It's also a lot of fun. He has such a great little personality. He also still takes two naps a day...which is awesome! :) He has always been such a great sleeper, thank goodness! I have been spoiled, the next one will probably be the worst sleeper ever and I wont know what to do with myself! On a workout note I am doing really well! I have lost 7.5 lbs and 2 inches off my tummy, 1 inch on each of my thighs and 1/2 i...
