Yesterday was and today is heading that way also. Had a nice dinner together last night as a family and up until basketball started that was an every night thing, but now 2 nights a week are disturbed by basketball, most often at 6. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and gravy the kids loved it and all had seconds.
The guy to repair the leaking window, that is leaking into the garage is suppose to be coming today and our bathroom sink. Sometime between 9 and 11, but now it's 10:21 and Zander just went down, so the sink isn't going to be working out today. I won't be waking my baby. Also the Rental company lady is coming at 11:30, but she isn't going to be going into my bedroom either.
Well I guess I was just trying to put off doing my school work so I'll get on to that now.

School is starting up again...
For me that is. I'm not sure how this semester will go considering I have 4 kids and a hubby who has long days at work. In a way I'm excited, but fearful of that the work that will be involved since I'm taking 12 credits again, broken into 5 classes.
Zachary is being difficult in school lately. I know part of it stems from Tony being in the field these last two weeks. After this last deployment Zachary isn't letting Tony get very far without him. However now that Zachary is playing basketball, he and Tony get to spend some guy time going to practice and being there.
Zayden's just lost in the middle. :) So just kidding with that, he will not be left out or forgotten. He is going to play T-ball in the spring with Zavier, while Zachary plays soft ball. That will be crazy for me so hopefully I can get to both most of the time. Zayden is doing awesome in school most days. I think his problems come from being such a helper that he just wants to help others in his class, causing him to be out of his seat.
Zavier had a cold this week and threw up the week before Christmas, but being as that he's the only one that has been sick makes things easier. So far we're not passing it from child to child or adult. He just tags along to whatever I'm doing or what big brothers are into. He likes to get down on Zander's playmat and play with him.
Zander has a little cold, his first, but keeping up his nursing is the best medicine anyone can offer. He's gaining the interest to roll from back to belly, but not there yet. He's been doing push-ups to work out those tiny baby arms in prep for crawling, however I wish he'd just stay put for a while longer. He is sitting completely unattended, however I don't leave him for long just to make sure he doesn't fall over when he gets so excited he's sitting alone. He is rounding the corner in sleeping better at least for naps. I get about 3 two-hour naps out of him everyday and that is defiantly helpful in getting things done.
Tony spent 8 days/nights in the field. While I was able to hold the fort down here at home without him, once the colds hit the two little ones I was struggling. However I am hopeful that this year should mostly just be field exercises. Maybe a deployment in Dec, but hopefully not until 2012.
I am excited that we paid off our washer and dryer this week. We have the pay off amount for our van and will hopefully be paying it in full by March 1st, 17 months early. Our goal this year is to get out of all debt and this just may be possible so we are very excited. Then Tony will probably pick up a deployment to build our savings before we're at the line to decide what will be next, re-enlistment or get out.
