First night on my own

Trying to get everyone home and in bed while Tony pulls CQ tonight. After school is always rough or anytime Zander wants to be held since I can't get as much done while holding him. I've taken to wearing him in the moby or my lucky sling, but unpacking is challenging with him on my chest. However he has been such a good baby the last 2 days and slept almost all day in the swing only getting up to eat every 4 hours. I don't like to put him off, but getting back to this baby thing is more different than I thought. To make up for it though I sit and hold him in the evenings. The goal is just to get through their folders and get their reading done. We got that done after school and they catch an episode of something on netflix. Then tonight we got a few more boxes unpacked and headed to meet up with Tony for dinner. Got there and ate dinner where all the boys were exceptionally well behaved.
Now getting home was a different story. Zander was hungry and I was trying to get everyone in and get undressed so I could start laundry before I went upstairs. They did and came upstairs. The problems arose when I needed to go to the bathroom and get some of my shirts off to nurse Zander. Zachary tries to hold him and make him happy, but that doesn't work often. lol I had told the boys they could watch one episode of tv if they all got ready without me yelling at them. They did pretty well so they got to watch one episode of Arthur. I nursed Zander while they watched TV. When I said go get in bed they all did as asked and I think I only yelled at them once to be quiet. Then they were out. Zander again got upset when I went to the bathroom again, but he finally passed out in the bed next to me. Just got to go put him in bed.
Not to bad, can't get much done in the house when the baby is awake and these boxes are driving me nuts. I did manage to get 5 done today even though I was sick and slept for 3 hours this morning. Yesterday knocked out 10 and 10 loads of laundry and got Zavier's room completely done. There is just not enough hours in my day at this point.

Bulbs?

Really that is as good as a fundraiser the booster club could come up with? I guess I'll get one, may have to get two if it ends up being Zayden's fundraiser also. And the prizes for selling stuff suck. The prize is a stupid smencil. What is a smencil you ask? A scented pencil. Why would I want to buy a bunch of flower bulbs when I could just buy the kids a pencil or smencil?

Zayden pitched a fit about doing his reading homework today. He hates homework. I asked him if he wanted me to just tell his teacher that and he finally sat down to suffer through listening to me read to him for 15 mins.

I'm still trying to find sports/activities for the kids to get into, but at 35/45 per kid it will be expensive. The cost I can swing if I can just find the activities. There is basketball offered, but not until 2nd grade, so Zachary could play but not the other 2.

I wanted to go to the fair today as military get in free and it's $2 ride/food day, but Tony didn't seem to really want to go and the boys didn't seem excited to go so instead we just came home. I still want to go to the Mercy Me concert at the fair next thursday, but I would be going with one of the kids. Not that I don't want to take one of the kids I know they would have fun.

I think I need to start getting the house ready for the household goods. There isn't much to clean, but I think I should do some. It will be so different when the only furniture in the house isn't upstairs in my room. I would like to clean the carpets, but I would need my carpet cleaner ;).

Seriously

Could this get any worse. Today my phone got a good fucking washing in the washing machine. Doesn't work yet, but enough to call Tony. I just don't get why this stupid shit keeps happening. We got our car on Thursday and again like shipping it to Germany it had damage. But what else do you do besides take the fucking check that is offered, suck it up and move on. It's not enough damage to actually go fix it just like last time, but every time I turn around something is happening to that van. I do want to go in and get the dent pulled out where someone hit it just days after Tony came back from Iraq, but that cost money. Money we don't have because again we just have to bend over and let the Army fuck us again. They are still fighting about paying for the kids and my flight back to the states, but were they going to help me get the fuck out before I medically couldn't fly anymore? NOPE. Whatever I'm over it I'll just accept that we will always be broke and because of that I won't get any more kids that I may want later in life because Tony doesn't like being broke all the time.
This move has just sucked since we still don't have beds or furniture. The kids have just about had all they can take. However it should be here by next monday and if Tony will get me the number to the transportation office I will be getting my stuff by monday.
The bigger boys did start school this past week. Zachary had a great first day, but wasn't so excited on day 2. Zayden seemed to like kindergarten. I guess the school is ok, but it has a horrible pick up policy. You have to wait for the kids and sign them out with all the other parents that are picking up. It is a mess and I have yet to find an easy way for it to go. There has been much more going on, but I'm done bitching for this moment.

And should I add that the airbed has holes in it and new ones pop up almost daily. Tony has taken to sleep on the futon, cause I have to sleep on the air bed so I have room to nurse at night. Do you know how mad it makes a person to wake up closer to the floor than they went to sleep? Some mornings I am all the way on the floor. I think from now on we'll be doing DITY moves.
